The woke, far-left, Drew DeVault-aligned, anti-Stallman faction of the FOSS movement clearly has no idea what they are talking about.
Imagine being so far to the left that you think that Richard Stallman, someone who has openly supported free healthcare, taxing the rich, expanding the welfare state, and even a universal basic income, is somehow a far-right libertarian who supports bombing children (which he wouldn't if he was a libertarian btw).
These people are so far gone, that they think that because Richard Stallman keeps the FOSS movement politically neutral outside of challenging our current copyright laws, then that makes him "far-right".
The only reason why FOSS allows people to exploit others (outside of making it proprietary in the case of copyleft software) including committing war-crimes is that most other things created for practical use allow you to do that too. But when it comes to software, suddenly people feel the need to create contracts dictating what you can or can't do with said software. That's why we have EULAs when it comes to proprietary software, and free software does the opposite by giving us freedom 0.
Finally, you can never prevent the government, including the military from using your code. The government does what it wants and will break any license and get away with it. If the DPRK can violate the GPL and create a proprietary fork of Ubuntu, then the US military (or any other military for that matter) can use your code to bomb children.
this is the faglord who was complaining about PewDiePie bringing in Fascists to FOSS or some shit.
So what, their "solution" to "fight" "FOSS Fascism" is to... make their own little club where it's only good socialists allowed? They assume that a dev is full of Hitler particles when they can't really control the unfortunate reality that letting their creations simply exist will let bad people use it... And as much as RMS is a commie jew, he accepts that, so ironically the person who could most fanatically lead the charge against what they hate in FOSS is their biggest enemy. They really don't expect their evil boogieman Fascists won't just steal their software out of spite. What are they gonna do, sue them? Call the police? Kill them?
It's funny, doing a meme like requiring the word "nigger" in a software license would probably stop them from using the software, so their own strategy of making gay CoCs and licenses to stop da Fash is really only effective against themselves.
It is done. Mostly with lazy practice and everything.
Last Resort 2ALL, a seemingly precoucious endeavor for a first arcade shmup 1cc: if only because a bunch of superplayers leave it at the 1ALL circa 2-2 or so. For maximum enjoyment this is a good mark. As a non-bullethell it lacks some flashiness but the second loop throws off the mental route speed, to the point at some bosses you go from advanced shutdown to (un)safe route to another shutdown you had no idea about. So it's not just mechanical execution + routing, focus/endurance was the last big stretch.
It's been a month since I got a nomiss 1ALL, at which I felt nothing. The (2ALL) achievement is something that feels pretty good but at 2-4 I re-find the reason to play - my heart is beating hard and keeps going harder during 2-5 (the last stage) even though I drowned the optimism rearing its focus destroying head a while ago.
The dangerous part of this level of involvement and execution is that I can feel the Resident Evil 2 playthrough getting left at the level of the semi-abandoned Breath of Fire playthrough: some specific points of difficulty, while just coasting the rest. It sounds reasonable to not want to 'route' two hour scenarios or straight up 8 hours of JRPG, which makes arcade condensation a positive; but it sill feels dangerous to disregard 'normal' games since every medium is going the ADHD route and routing/practice lends itself to that as well.
The construction industry's relentless pursuit of efficiency has elevated stationary concrete pumps from mere equipment to strategic profit centers. These workhorses of modern construction sites offer more than just concrete placement—they represent a calculated investment with measurable financial returns. While the upfront costs may give pause to some contractors, those who understand the nuanced economics of these machines discover they often pay for themselves within surprisingly short timeframes. The true value proposition becomes clear when examining three critical dimensions of return on investment.
Operational Efficiency: The Hidden Profit Driver
Stationary concrete pumps transform the economics of concrete placement through their unparalleled operational efficiency. A single pump can replace multiple concrete buggies and their accompanying operators, slashing labor costs by as much as 40% on mid-sized projects. The continuous flow capability eliminates the start-stop inefficiencies of traditional methods, allowing crews to place concrete up to 30% faster.
These time savings compound dramatically on projects with complex formwork or restricted access areas. The precision placement capability reduces material waste—a crucial factor when working with high-performance mixes that can cost upwards of $200 per cubic yard. One highway overpass project documented a 12% reduction in concrete waste after switching to stationary pumping, translating to nearly $80,000 in material savings alone.
Longevity and Reduced Maintenance Costs
The durability calculus of stationary pumps reveals another layer of financial advantage. Unlike mobile concrete pumps that suffer from vibration-induced wear, stationary units benefit from stable mounting that extends component life. High-quality models routinely deliver 10,000+ hours of service before requiring major overhaul—nearly double the lifespan of comparable mobile units in similar applications.
Maintenance costs follow similarly favorable patterns. Stationary installations allow for proper equipment shelters and easy access for servicing, reducing downtime. The fixed piping systems experience less wear than flexible hose arrangements, with some projects reporting 60% lower replacement costs over five years. These factors combine to create a total cost of ownership that often undercuts alternative concrete placement methods by year three of operation.
Versatility as a Revenue Multiplier
The true profit potential emerges when examining a stationary pump's ability to diversify revenue streams. Beyond their primary function, these units can become profit centers through creative utilization. Off-hours availability makes them ideal for rental to neighboring contractors, with many owners recouping 15-20% of their initial investment through such arrangements in the first year alone.
Their value extends to bidding advantages as well. Contractors with dedicated pumping capacity can bid more aggressively on projects requiring continuous pours or specialized placements. This equipment ownership frequently becomes the deciding factor in winning contracts for complex structures like tilt-up warehouses or architectural concrete features. Several construction firms have leveraged their trailer concrete pump capabilities to move into premium market segments with higher profit margins.
The financial case for stationary concrete pumps ultimately rests on viewing them not as expenses, but as productivity multipliers. When factoring in labor savings, material efficiency, longevity benefits, and revenue opportunities, the payback period frequently falls between 18-30 months—an enviable return in the equipment-intensive world of construction. The most successful operators treat these pumps not just as tools, but as strategic assets that actively contribute to their bottom line through multiple channels of value creation.
