Most insightful game commentary in years.

How many times does it have to be said: The cloud is just someone else's computer that you have no control over.

No one has the right to your company.

I allow myself to spend 4 hours per year in the presence of my brother. I do it so my parents can have the family together for Christmas dinner. Other than that we have not communicated in 5 years.

When mt parents pass away, so will those 4 hours.

World-class college football

In a game that is only played in one country... (well two if this genius is successful)

“The independence of Texas is good for humanity as a whole,”

I doubt it is possible be more narcissistic and self centred.

Personally, If Texas ever declared and the USA allowed them to leave I have a feeling they would be begging the US to readmit them to the union in a very short time.

These people fail to realise that so much of what they benefit from being in Texas is because it is part of the USA.

What happens when NASA and the DOD remove all their facilities and staff?

What happens when they have to defend themselves?

Sign trade agreements with the rest of the world?

What happens when the USA slaps tariffs on their oil to protect US interests?

Etc

etc

etc

etc.

It reminds me of children talking about how cool it will be when they are adults and don't have to listen to mom and dad.

They can stay up all night and play games!

They can eat ice-cream for breakfast!

They can do what ever they want!!!

I have to ask. If whois privacy is important to you, why did you register a domain without it?

Pons_Aelius , (edited )

If that is the case you will have to decide which is more important, the domain or your privacy.

Pons_Aelius ,

As far as I know. Domain blocking still has the bug you experienced a few weeks ago.

The guacamole layer is oxygen free, it only starts to spoil once it erupts on the surface.

And another name for it in a different language is Crusade.

That was my point, when he agrees with the violence it is good when he does not, it is bad.

Pons_Aelius ,

Honestly?

If I knew of one, I would say nothing as why would I want to expose anyone else to that?

Why would I want to be responsible for increasing his reach?

The best response is silence.

Pons_Aelius , (edited )

Because it can be educational to keep track of his lies.

Really? The point of his constant lying is to tie you up by trying to refute them, meanwhile he and his followers have moved on to the next one.

They don't believe the bullshit and are not actually arguing, they are just using the constant stream to crap to tie you in intellectual knots.

If you can't beat them with logic, baffle them with bullshit.

Pons_Aelius ,

The whole point of window A/c is to hang outside the window so the waste/extracted heat is outside and not inside (as it would make the A/c unit useless.)

It sounds like a portable hose units your only option. (even thought they are less efficient than in window units)

Pons_Aelius ,

Not all the heat is removed as the machinery of the A/c also get hot and radiates heat and all that cannot be remove by the hose. That is why the machinery for in widow units is physically outside the area you are trying to cool.

Pons_Aelius ,

Looks like its time of a public defender to be appointed.

I assume their advice will be to accept a plea deal.

Gerrymandering is good or bad, depending on wether it helps the party I vote for.

Pons_Aelius ,

Anyone I disagree with must support the other side!

I am not American...

In my country all electoral boundaries are set by an independent body, the politicians have zero say in the matter.

Pons_Aelius , (edited )

Any place where the politicians decide their own electoral boundaries is gerrymandering in my opinion,

That was the case where I live, it changed to an independent body 25 years ago. The difference is night and day.

Before the change the conservatives held 66% of the state seats with only 39% of the vote. The conservatives were in power continuously for 30 years.

you know will boo you off stage

He would still prefer that to an empty house. That is why the paid stooges are there.

Reading the opening sounds interesting but I am not an Atlantic subscriber so the details are lost to me.

Pretty hard to foster discussion on a topic when (i assume) the majority cannot read the item.

Pons_Aelius ,

Thanks.

    Top 5 Cringe-Worthy Additions to Your Gaming Setup ( www.kangaroo4deals.com ) Danish

    Welcome to the world of gaming, where innovation meets eccentricity. Gamers, much like any other subculture, have their fair share of trends and products that, while well-intentioned, often land on the cringe-worthy spectrum. In this blog post, we're diving headfirst into the top 5 cringe-worthy items that you might find in a...

    Amazon affiliate link spam.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    I am not disagreeing with the article but I think the better description would be:

    "Young men (12-24 is used by the author) would like more positive attention. They see the attention young women receive via sexualisation as positive but are unaware of the many downsides it brings."

    Is the one on the left an ACD-beagle cross?

    $100 says there is a series of emails sent by a sysadmin/DBA over the past couple months warning about this issue in explicit detail and its increasing urgency, that have been ignored.

    The person sending the emails will still get chewed out because they failed to make the higher ups realise this is a real problem.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    While that story is shitty I doubt the manufacturing control DB and customer data DB are anywhere near each other.

    Pons_Aelius OP ,

    No, both mods have no activity for months.

    Well, another mag to block.

    Pons_Aelius OP , (edited )

    Yep. the mods are mia.

    The spam here is getting out of hand. A mag with ~20,000 subs and zero mods...

    random is a cess pit as well.

    Pons_Aelius OP ,

    Nah, the mag is not that important.

    Unsub and block seems to be the only effective approach.

    The good part about truth social is that it stops me from having to see/listen to the quantity content.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    Everyday I wait for the old man to return with feesh, but everyday the is no fieesh.

    What if the quantum uncertainty suddenly became significantly larger on macroscopic scales?

    Let’s say the quantum uncertainty which is currently quite small and doesn’t affect our life on macroscopic scale suddenly increased. Magically we are still living in this weird rule of physics. How would we see daily stuff? like how would I see a ball rolling in my sight?

    Pons_Aelius ,

    Magically we are still living in this weird rule of physics.

    That's the problem, you wouldn't be living.

    Two weeks? They never remember back that far. They have 5 new conspiracy theories to explain to your feeble mind by then.

    Federal judges question Alabama’s new congressional map, lack of 2nd majority-Black district ( apnews.com )

    A panel of federal judges on Monday began a review Alabama’s redrawn congressional map which opponents argue blatantly defies the court’s mandate to create a second district where Black voters have an opportunity to influence the outcome of an election.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    Trying to make gerrymandering fair...

    Pons_Aelius ,

    Any reasonable map would have at least 2 Black districts, so this case is explicitly about reversing gerrymandering by requiring another Black majority district.

    Any reasonable map would ignore the racial make-up of the population and just be based on equal population. But both sides of US politics like the gerrymandering as it gives them safe seats they don't have to worry about and it destroys any attempt by Non- R or D candidates from having a hope of election.

    The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won. ( gizmodo.com )

    The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. The article describes it as "the official end of the battle," which seems an overstatement to me, but it's the certainly the end of the initial phase....

    Pons_Aelius ,

    I often had to scroll quite a bit to get past the obnoxious US politics posts

    And the posts that had nothing to do with the US or politics would usually descend into a US centric shit fight anyway.

    Any post involving firearms anywhere in the world...flooded with US 2A nut jobs.

    etc

    etc

    Pons_Aelius ,

    The way reddit and other websites turn a blind eye to how many fake accounts they have just doesn’t make sense to me.

    Traffic numbers by bot accounts boost "user engagement" metrics. If they cracked down on bots the line would go down and the line must go up.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    Why add those extra chores to my life for something that useless.

    Because the people who suggest them don't see them as chores.

    You do, so don't do that.

    Build what you want.

    Thinking about backyard DIY skatepark, or a gym pit.

    I assume you are a regular at the local skate park and gym now.

    One does not have to switch from something that was never used.

    Twitter has been a short form outrage machine since the beginning.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    no censorship plz

    Sorry but that is a farcical expectation. All sites will have rules about what can and cannot be posted and will have to follow the laws of the country the server is based in.

    Pons_Aelius ,

    Humans have neolithic hunter-gather brains and emotional reactions, medieval civil intuitions while using tech that borders on magic.

    Twitter used to call itself the town square, and it is/was just like the square of old. Dominated by those that yelled the loudest and longest.
