'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT': Trump Is Big Mad That the Star Endorsed Harris
  • Firing squads have some guns that are loaded as blanks so nobody is really sure who fired the fatal shot, and in the case of Trump I think this is unfair to the people firing the guns.

    ‘Clearly chicken you weirdo’: People respond to JD Vance sharing video he claims shows migrants grilling cats
  • That bill was a super republican bill, I honestly do not know why the Democrats keep bragging about this as if every "bipartisan" bill has merit.

    I've been attempting to respond to your original comment. The Democrats are not using this to brag. They are using it to highlight the failures of the Republican party.

    I walked around knocking on doors in an unfriendly neighborhood for Bernie Sanders, so you don't need to talk to me about criticizing Democrats or wanting them to move left.

  • You're not understanding me. Yes, the bill was awful and should not have had their support.

    So given that, what exactly is the Republican justification for not supporting it? That needs to be highlighted so that perhaps enough GOP voters just stay home on election day - especially in swing states.

    Like it or not, Republicans must not win this election so that our democracy survives. We will have lots of work to do after the election to push the Democrats back to supporting the average person and not the rich, but that's the next fight and not this one!

    Hold your nose and vote for democracy.

  • That only underscores the point of advertising their refusal to pass it: it should have fully satisfied Republicans and given them most of what they want, but the Orange Shit Stain said not to pass it so they could complain about immigration during the election.

    Democrats should use it as a loud and constant example of how Republicans are not leaders and have no solutions for America.

    Liz Cheney blocked January 6 scrutiny of Ginni Thomas, book says
  • Well said. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

    Or as that war criminal Henry Kissinger said, "there are no allies, only temporarily-shared interests."

    Life Feels Like an Endless Routine and I’m Struggling to Care Anymore
  • Okay, well that's the depression talking. I should know!

    Make the appointment now to start the clock, and in the meantime you can try something online, maybe an AI based therapy.

  • Not necessarily. Accuracy comes down to specific implemention of the emulator, hardware or software.

    Where FPGA shines is it can do operations in parallel, just like actual hardware would. This means there will be a lot less latency in the emulation, giving it a feel that's close to the original hardware.

    An FPGA implementation of the GBA can be as inaccurate as software emulation, and just because a game seems to play the same way doesn't mean the emulator is calculating everything in the exact same way as the original hardware. Cycle accuracy isn't technically necessary to have it still seem exactly the same so long as the timing is the same. That's what the PS1 core on the MiSTer is (timing accurate, though not perfectly cycle accurate).

    How PlayStation Console Prices Have Changed Over Time With Inflation
  • The PS3 was pretty damned expensive for the time. I bought a MGS4 version, and I nearly returned it due to the expense. A few things made me keep it though: it was an excellent media player with lots of support for plugging in external drives full of media (and IIRC they regularly pushed new codecs out with system updates), wireless controllers and Burnout Paradise. I still play Burnout Paradise regularly. I never owned many Blu-ray movies, but it had that going for it too when most of the world was still using DVDs.

    I don't think that anything that has followed the PS3 has been nearly as good of a device. I hardly ever use my PS5 now, and if most of my library weren't PlayStation-exclusive titles, I'd probably just sell the thing in favor of my Steam Deck.

    SOLVED Total novice: unable to reach server
  • We all start somewhere, and none of us learn without the help of others who've come before us. No need to apologize for that.

    ping is a terminal (command line) utility used to check that a different machine is reachable. The name comes from the sound that sonar makes when it strikes a metal ship hull.

    Termux is the app to get on Android.

    Try it. Open up a terminal emulator / command line and do a ping google.com (or your website or local network address of choice). You'll see the response from the other machine and how long it took to do that.
