*I'd quite like to see a zombie-disaster apocalypse movie where the tough guy shows up with this pink emergency tool-kit because it was all that there was
*Or maybe a Robinson Crusoe castaway movie

*It's also interesting that you might know "years ahead" that an asteroid would wreck a particular "risk corridor" on Earth's surface
*If an actual colliding asteroid appears, are people gonna do anything or will they just be very antivax, denialist and don't-look-up about it
*I wonder if "influencers" are the new demimondaines of the new oligarchy. Is that what's happening here? How many rich tech bros *DON'T* have a side-chick influencer
*Huh. How could you be Elon and not recklessly attack this, even if everyone in the Pentagon goes broke
@RejoinEU "if those lucky bastards can invade Ukraine how come we can't invade Canada"
The "Cybernetics Vs AI" funding war of 1962.
*The good guys lose
@luis_in_brief *This is why real chefs never use top-end luxury chef-knives. Of course kitchen-workers will steal them, because they're a downtrodden underclass labor-force whose lives rarely see a shiny gleam
*I carried a bulky "Victorinox Cyber Tool" to that event, not because it's handy or useful, but because it's the kind of status-assertive pocket jewelry that a cyberpunk Italian art-director would naturally have
*We installed our Turinese monument yesterday and there were a whole lot of multitools in that celebratory crowd
*It was a good community event, very positive let's-do-it attitude
@bitnik *Yeah, Dremels are extremely Maker. People are always trying to push them out of hobby work and into real production and burning them up
*Also Dremels are a great way to get the hand-scars that Makers so commonly have
"Even though their prices are skyrocketing, you can't spend too much money on multitools. They're really good personal gifts for colleagues, like "damn, he really wants me to accomplish something"
*Also, if you're a woman artist, I'm thinking that especially precise and dainty pastel feminine multitools which are well-scaled for female hands are becoming an anti-broligarch political statement
*If you're an artist, I'd even urge you to boldly go for the damascened blade on your laser-decorated Leatherman, and maybe ultra-high-tolerance glossy Italian "pocket jewelry" luxury gentleman's knives
*In which case, not only do you genuinely need a multitool, you probably need a cool case of assorted multitools in your studio that will make visitors and collectors go "oooh"
*If your purpose is to build just one of them because everyone is gonna stare at it and go "oooh," I'm very much in your corner, but you're not a technician, you're an artist
@DopedSi *I agree about needing two, or even four or five, multitools, but that's R&D and not production. If you need to make and ship ten identical ones because you just got an order for ten of them, you'd better knuckle down
*Don't believe the unscientific and extravagant AI techno-hype... iunless it's gonna get you a massive scienific grant that sidelines everybody else, in which case maybe you better believe it.

*Given that mosquitoes love climate-crisis, you might wanna get one of these brand-new souped-up malaria vaccines
*Salt Typhoon still living it up hacking phone networks worldwide, because why wouldn't they
