None of the veterans I know killed any brown kids. The people we shot were generally either shooting at us, or had just set off an IED with a car battery. Most of our interactions with kids involved someone getting in trouble for giving away MREs to the kids that would walk up to the vehicle.
Going meta is always allowed. Just say you're dumbing it down, that you don't mean to be condescending, and invite them to interrupt if they already understand.
I'm imagining the mob standing around the guy scratching their heads, with the noose pulled all the way up to the branch.
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
My planes had groups, but I don't think they were grouped by seat.
Ah yeah, true. Even with minor exceptions, I still feel like it could be done better. I'm just bitter because I had to take four different planes this week.
That's the problem with society- all the damn people. *Shakes fist at cloud*.
Load the goddamn plane by column, window seats to aisle seats, grouped by odd/even seat numbers and make people line up largest seat number to smallest. It takes an extra five minutes before you board the plane and saves you twenty or thirty. It wouldn't even cost you the five if it was the standard.
The best way to read this screenshot is to keep the actual headline below the window and try to guess which thing it's referring to.
It's also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol. Glad I could help, though.
I hope someone shook her hand and thanked her for her service before they put her away.
No worries. I feel like you probably do have to be a masochist to consume Tate media of any type, so it still works.
I have one. It's 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.
Try a Spectre t.v. they're made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.
This is a pattern I've seen repeatedly.
Guys find themselves desperate to get laid, and that desperation comes across in all of their interactions with women, who don't like feeling that they're being treated like a vending machine, which leads to the guy being rejected for reasons that he doesn't entirely understand.
He gets in a relationship with someone, finally, and everything is great for a while. Then he realizes that women are talking and flirting with him more than they ever have before, and isn't sure why, but he enjoys it. He doesn't understand that, because he is in a relationship, he has stopped being desperate and weird, and is now actually having real conversations with women about mutually interesting topics.
Surrounded by women that are (seemingly) available, he either breaks up with his SO, asks for some sort of open arrangement, or tries to cheat. Unfortunately, for reasons that he still doesn't understand, as soon as he's available for sex, women start being turned off by him again (if not to quite the degree they were before) and, again, he finds it difficult to get laid.
From here, guys often fall into some incel-style evolutionary psychology explanation for things, regularly cheat on everyone that they're with, or gradually becomes aware of the pattern.
If they become aware of the pattern, they can begin to manage it and reduce the desperate, salesman vibe that they give off. As they become more confident and relaxed, it becomes clear to women that they're perfectly comfortable going home alone or just being friends, which allows them to have more meaningful relationships and, incidentally, more sex with people they like.
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk on the origin and mating behavior of the involuntarily celibate.
I've been thinking about enshitification recently, and I'm also working on a startup with a friend that just received funding. I've been wondering how one might arrange a business such that it won't gradually trend towards shittier products in search of higher profit margins.
Obviously, it would be nice to redesign all of society so that this isn't a thing, but barring that, does anyone have any ideas for setting up a business in such a way that motivations are aligned with producing a good product?
Currently, we're trying to retain as much control as possible, but at some point we may go public, and if we do, I'm not sure how to keep us aimed at accomplishing our goals. We're building a platform that should solve or at least improve the replication crisis in scientific research, and we could lose control to investors that want board seats, or sell to someone like Google.
If we do either, I doubt the company will do what we want it to do in the long term.
Going public is the route that seems less likely to lead to this change in direction, but it seems like it could end in the same place over a long enough timeline.
I recently acquired two used blade servers and a short rack to put them in. I'm planning to use one or the other as the replacement for a media server that died on me a bit ago. The old media server was just a little refurb dell workstation, with a single SSD in it, but the servers have 6 and 8 bays, respectively.
I would like to RAID them so that one drive dying doesn't lose any of my media, and I was leaning towards Ubuntu server as an OS. I'm not sure how to do that, and I'm kind of poking around for info and advice. Hit me with it.
I'm working on a parsing library for mil-std-1553 messages. It's a fun, minimal project that doesn't currently exist as far as I can tell.
