I am aware of the massive setup costs, and exactly 0 of what you said invalidates anything I said.
This is something that's always boggles my mind as an American.
Why would any other country rely on us for military equipment instead of working on their own? Yeah it costs money to setup, but even in highschool I knew enough to know the US has, to put it lightly, done shady shit to its allies. Hell, it's own people.
Why would anyone trust that they'll always be an ally? Especially when Republicans are in charge and make international cooperation even more of a joke than usual.
I want the EU to be self sufficient not because I think they suck and should be paying out the ass, like the magats do, but because when the US government decides they don't want to play with the other kids anymore, they can't take the proverbial ball home with them.
Yeah, but to be fair, those were smallish nukes, and we only saw those go up against large bugs.
Not a net or trident in sight.
Not a fair comparison.
I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.
don’t lick the platters
No joke, as a teenager I temporarily considered using one as a pizza cutter but ultimately decided to use a pair of scissors just because I didn't want the shiny platter to be greasy.
I really want a thin metal disc to spin now... Maybe see if I can get it to spin with my arduino...
Smort.
I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who's a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who's looked into this and already had some things ready to go.
Ahhh, curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal!
Yeah, I had been holding on to one last one after selling the rest (I made a whopping $13 yaaaaaaaaay)
Selling that shit the moment I can get to my laptop.
Oh man...
1: RIP to Trevor.
B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.
The jokes write themselves.
"could be ousted"
Uhhhhhh no.
Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.
The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.
Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they're willing to go to war to enforce it, there's 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they're going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.
I don't know if I would call "life" a toy, but I guess everyone is different.
That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don't have Linux options, and if I'm being honest with myself I really just don't want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I'm getting a crash course.
I'd love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent's old kindles won't work, there's enough of them laying around their house...
Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options
I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin's creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.
Haven't used it in many years, but I'd love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for "oh this is neat, they made it their own" factor.
*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I've been able to get into
Every extreme sport is insane if you dissect it with rational thought about human frailty.
It's great!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go strip to thin breathable cloth so I can tear along the countryside at speeds humans weren't designed to travel at, while dodging trees, bushes, occasional wildlife, roots and rocks, hoping my air filled donut bladders don't rupture and none of the welds on my metal stick give out. Once I'm done I'll cool off with a nice downhill roll, rivaling the cheetah on speed.
That said... Caves are one of those places I'd love to go to one someday but it won't be relaxing for me. They can be scary as FUCK. Don't even get me started on cave diving. Those people are insane and in need of therapy.
Hey look, a company the literally bears the name of the sitting us president is openly meddling in politics of other nations.
At least his predecessors had the decency to hide it.
I don't see how anyone can take anything they do or say seriously. And I don't mean "we shouldn't think they're serious" I mean "the whole world should be laughing at them instead of listening to them and nobody should do a single thing they say"
It's like someone fave toddlers the keys to the kingdom, and nobody is treating them like the toddlers they are.
The fact that anyone can see this and think "yes, this is a clear sign we must invest MORE in oil consumption" is wild to me.
If ONE country is shelling out as much for renewable as the rest of the world spends on fossil fuels, then MAYBE, just MAYBE there might be something to renewables, especially given all the things we see daily about how much more efficient renewables are, how much money is in the entire industry, how quickly people are switching to renewables...
It's mind boggling that anyone thinks fossil fuels are the future, or at least can convince other people that it's the future all while caring about just the money.
I'd love to have a power wall and a wind/solar setup for all my energy needs.
He really tells it like it is. Says what he means.
Violent protest? Prison.
No violent protest? Straight to Prison.
Talking online about possibly organizing a non violent protest? Believe it or not... Also prison.
Gee, when it's prison no matter what, I wonder what people will do? Hmm.
HMMMMMMMMMMM
I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I'd love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10.
I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn't ask for this. And I have to say.... I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations...
My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it's Microsoft's own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS...
