I’ll add some negativity to restore balance.

These local ruinations are just a temporary blip versus China’s hard demographic facts like how over the last 10 years their birth rate has crashed harder than the birth rate of the Jews during the Holocaust.


At this point there’s a huge swath of Republican voters who don’t know who the heck she is. Trump may have done the right thing by snubbing the primary debates because he’s managed to help keep the knuckle-draggers who form his base ignorant of the other candidates who aren’t trying to out-Trump Trump himself.


More than half of the Republicans voted against expulsion.


Controller: Witcher, Cyberpunk, Senua’s Sacrifice, Shadow of War/Mordor

Mouse and Keyboard: Diablo, things that end in “Craft”

HOSAS: Flying things


I’ve seen enough Ukranian drone drop videos with grenades landing on Russians to know that being on the receiving end is absolutely not immediately lights out.



“So they write about it” with AI assistance. It can easily be argued that modern word processor software has some level of AI in it.

She: What kind of woman do you think I am?

He: We’ve already established that. Now we’re just haggling over the price.

Same story, it’s just a question to what extent the software moves from being an unacceptable amount of assistance as a tool. Sports equipment follows the same story, at some point it’s regarded as cheating, we just haven’t established what that line is. Clearly there are people who don’t care what that line is and so long as it represents a competitive advantage to ignore that line then people will freely cross it.


They would have effectively owned him and forced him to act as a proper Speaker and not a political Muppet.

I can only assume this was offered and McCarthy would rather go down in flames than serve on his knees.


Which given the composition of the Senate and that whole executive branch thing this means they’ll never get anything done.



Kinda reminds me of Al Quaeda or ISIS where every other week the second in command was getting ventilated.


He’s one of the elements holding back the monster he created. MFer vetoed his own bill after Obama came out in support of it.




Maybe that’s because you never go to the Pre Office to mail your letters.


Ignore the money and look at the conditions of his release. If he so much as farts without offering a written apology he’s done.


With 19 defendants it’s going to be a scheduling mess, never mind the mountain of discovery. There are also 30 unindicted co-conspirators who might flip and cause charges to get added or they themselves get added causing this current indictment to get replaced with a new one. No, this one will be slow. The interesting part is that Trump may very well have to sit in a some form of detention awaiting trial because of the witness tampering charges plus the fact that just 24 hours ago he was trying to intimidate a witness into not testifying in front of the grand jury.


Inverse Murphy’s Law dictates that if your disaster recovery plan is top notch, tested, rehearsed, refined, and you flip to the alternate site on a schedule then you’ll never ever need it for real.


Palau-flagged vessel. I guess that’s what Palau gets for not owning 20 aircraft carriers.


Beau is the YouTuber who got me to finally start subscribing to channels and I voraciously consume each one as they come out. He’s quite excellent.



How? Because by coming to America they got Freedom? Florida once again bores through the bottom of the barrel.


I’m probably telling you people how damn old I am but this looks more like meth-tweaked Gauntlet to me.

Over on the other site somebody put up a screenshot of a Tweet from Cornell West espousing the position of the US shouldn’t be in NATO and we’re paying to defend Europe. Therefore we should just drop it and leave Ukraine to fend for themselves.

If Sergei Lavrov has West’s Twitter password he would have posted something pretty similar, aka the full-on Tankie talking points.


These days Green Party is code for Kremlin Asset. Just look to where Jill Stein contested 2016 results and Gemany’s green party actions in trying to stamp out support for Ukraine.



Point 1: Russia already used them in Ukrainian kindergartens and hospitals

Point 2: if Russia has an issue with this then they can try leaving. Honestly as far as I’m concerned they can have chemical weapons too, if Russia has an issue with that then they can try leaving.


ABB is supporting it therefore EA is supporting it, therefore it’s only a matter of time before VW is supporting it. Stellantis basically has no choice. V4 superchargers will have 800v so Hyundai-Kia should be able to jump on board, assuming the V2L stuff is worked out. Not sure of the status of that on NACS right now but it shouldn’t be a big lift for Hyundai since at this point it’s more of a physical difference.




We fund it every couple of years and constantly give the telcos tax breaks on piles of things like utility easements or looking the other way on a multitude of issues. For example, Verizon simply pre-pays for double-parking violations in NYC. In the end the telcos still flogging DSL on lines the government has funded for upgrades to fiber several times over.

Don’t forget tricks like how if a single house has minimal broadband then the entire zip code is considered “served”.


He knows it will fail, but it gives him headlines with the racist, xenophobic base which is precisely what he needs in order to win the primary. He’ll probably be screwed in the unlikely chance he even gets to general, but that’s his problem.



I’ve been running a QNAP TS-435UeX and it checks all the boxes coming in with a mountain of hardware and capability for cheap. Dual 10 GB SFP+ ports, dual SSD slots for raided read write acceleration, user upgradeable memory. It does a lot of stuff and it’s an appliance so all the building out and troubleshooting crap is done for you, you just do what you want to do and be productive. The onboard encryption engine can fill the bandwidth of those SFP+ ports even if they’re bonded. 4 drive bays, but you can also add another 12 via a couple of different sized expansion boxes.

It’s a 1U so the fans are kinda small, therefore it’s a bit noisy. The desktop version should be alright though.



That also depends on who the final boss is.

“Congratulations (insert name of winner), now it’s time to face off against…”

dramatic reveal


I’m a long-time proponent of the participants of such matches being handed a single brick before they go into whatever closed room or arena has been agreed upon. Also leave a third brick in the middle of the area. It creates a certain degree of strategy. It also livens up the “just hugging” part of the fight that many UFC or boxing matches kinda devolve into.

Do you throw the brick? Use it to block a thrown brick? Use it add a blunt weapon? Plus you need to get that third brick, but doing so exposes you to getting hit with a brick as you bend down to get it. There’s so many choices it’s like rock, paper, scissors except it’s just brick, brick, brick.


Post cards was the first thing I turned off in RIF. I don’t want a photo gallery, want a concise list of threads and maybe a small thumbnail at best. Thread title, domain of post’s link, how many comments and upvotes and the pertinent things to click, in as efficient a format as possible.

Do that and you can get like 10 posts per screen would makes browsing and scrolling very efficient.

Now, if you want to make it god-mode then add tabs at the top for queuing up stuff to peruse in detail.
