Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.
Al “Inviting Dee Snyder to testify will be a slam dunk for our pro-censorship position, there’s no way that guy who’s famous for being able to concisely convey resonating political statements in 5 minutes or less is articulate, what could possibly go wrong” Gore? God, I wasn’t even alive for it and it still pisses me off that craven dick was chosen as candidate…
“A well armed (global) populace has nothing to fear” is certainly an outlook one can have - though I think it’s rather myopic, I’m not really interested in getting into a debate about the hypothetical benefits to giving nukes to a brutally repressive theocracy right now. I hope you have a very nice day.
I find the idea that nuclear proliferation to theocratic despots could in any way be a positive development a little… difficult to believe. It’s bad enough with the nuclear states we have now - we don’t need another Israel in the region. Although, a nuclear Muslim state would give us all three major branches of the abrahamic religions. Terrifying sure, but think of what a nice symmetry it would give to geopolitics…
Keep in mind the source of this brilliant idea comes from trump - Iran’s leadership are by and large evil bastards, but they’re not anything like as stupid as that orange clown; there’s no world where Iran would attack the US mainland, because they’re relying on the vast lack of US political will to continue to keep trump’s wild despotic aspirations in check. Obliterating LA would similarly obliterate the hesitation to endanger US assets, and would end very badly for everyone involved.
TL;DR: Amnesty International is openly calling for the abolition of ICE for their repeated and Amnesty-documented crimes against human rights, which is pretty worthwhile news. Shame they decided to run it under The Most Irritating Headline™
In this case the nuance and intention both are “they admit they knew these were nazi symbols but decided to send them out anyways, fully aware it may cause offense (which is why QA didn’t send them to german users (possibly also because this flirts with being actually illegal in germany))”. So… no, “Nazi incident” really isn’t a bad way to describe it. While you yourself may be ignorant of common nazi symbols (and I envy you that particular source of bliss), you are (perhaps fortunately) not representative of the whole population - and unfortunately given what they’ve said, GOG has made clear they were not laboring under a similar ignorance. This was Not Good before the apology, but that response really made this indefensible.
Sure there is: Sometimes it doesn’t boot. And nobody can deny that it’s been great for driving linux adoption!
Oh, yeah that makes sense.
Ohhh, that’s the angle! Thank you.
As a heavy CAD user, openscad is a neat gimmick and a great way to teach parameters and it’s integreatability with software tools is second to none, but it’s not useful for doing “real” work - and freecad is a project I love and support because it’s got a great personality. We desperately need a robust open source alternative for CAD to do what blender has done for polymodeling and animation to escape the hell that is the major engineering companies.
Uuuuuuuunfortunately freecad just sucks. At least, right now. It’ll get there, and maybe with people turning on the mega software companies it’ll get there even faster now, but man step one will be kidnapping a UX dev to work on it (and step two will be to fix everything to do with compound faces).
Hmm. Well today I learned I can’t read.
There are lots of forks, fortunately, but the licenses likely will screw over any trying-to-be-legit small engineering shops :(
Fuck, ain’t THAT the truth. Solidedge makes the autodesk suite look like something from startrek in comparison. UI less intuitive than openscad and buggier than freecad. And don’t get me started on what a terrifying amount of the modern world runs on the absolute shitshow that is Parasolid.
The CIA Democrats played a significant role in triggering the first impeachment of Trump, over his temporary withholding of military aid to Ukraine after a phone call to President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump demanded Zelensky help him politically by digging up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, whom Trump correctly viewed as his likely Democratic opponent in the 2020 election.
Seven House Democrats with national-security backgrounds issued a joint letter in September 2019 calling for Trump’s impeachment. They included Crow, Slotkin, Spanberger, Sherrill, former Air Force officer Chrissy Houlahan, former Navy commander Elaine Luria and former Navy officer—and later assistant Navy secretary—Gil Cisneros. This was followed shortly by then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi throwing her support behind the impeachment drive.
The message here is kinda confusing, this is all presented like it’s a bad thing? And a whole bunch of the people are just military, they don’t have ties to the CIA (which yeah, not good, I just don’t see how the label fits at all). I’m really confused by what they’re trying to say.
No, don’t play his game - play a better one, call it Lake Obama
Oh cool! Electrify America started rolling out this tech a few months ago and it’s been crazy nice to have the full 350kw charging available at rural stations.
Lol wait time out - did you not mean to make a don quixote joke there? I thought it was a pretty clever counterpart to the whole “sisyphean task” thing so I figured it was safe to borrow from the adventures, casting myself as the ploughman and you as Quixote… sorta an evening out of the tragic comedy, as it were.
Oh, I’m far to timid to slay dragons, m’lord - I leave that to you and your proud steed! And with your stout lance in hand, once again I bid you good luck in your quest. I myself, why, I’m content with my lot. No hero, me - not like yourself. No, I’ll content myself with dunking on you repeatedly, to the point that it’s starting to get embarrassing.
Such harsh sentiments you fling… But, look here; watch the arc they describe, can you see it? Yes, it’s clear - they’ve begun to fall flatly, what sting they once had now rounded and dull. And observe, where they lay exhausted? Their vitriol is spent from long overuse! Oh, if only your rhetorical broadsides had some variation, then these poor little sentiments might be afforded some rest… but, ah, it is not to be. Truly, you can stand tall amongst your peers, proud in the knowledge that such a mercy is beyond your care, even perhaps your capacity, to grant. Thus the sentiments line up again, belabored on all sides by your marshals as they shamble, fated to attend again and again their sisyphean taskmaster.
Nah, she’s a woman and they’re purging those from eeeeverything.
