"First they give you the bible, and by the time you've finished reading it, they've stolen all of your land."
  • It's a nice story, but it doesn't seem to be accurate to what happened - not at far as I found with some superficial research [1][2]. I'd be interested in any further reading you have on the subject.

    Though what I read, the US were still pretty much shitheads. No big surprises there

    Bidenomics Isn’t Working For Working People
  • I know it's hip to call Biden a 90's R because he didn't pass every policy the left wants with a slim majority, but do you even know what a 90's Republican is / stood for? Because that's when the party turned to Newt and I don't see him doing ANYTHING close to that.

    Does anyone *not* love using their bidet?
  • You get used to it after a couple uses - as in knowing where to position and how much knob to use. It's always uncomfortable if you aren't used to it.

    Stressed electronics eng undergrad needs questions so he stops crying himself to sleep.
  • You may like this article if you're ever really bored. It's how a smart dude came up with the concept of negative feedback. I always thought controls was neat, but I couldn't grok it

    Also DSP's a trip if you take that class later

    E: Also thanks for the gl, but I finished that about 10 years ago now. That shit was hard, but the skills I gained were super valuable even if I'm not in the field anymore

    The Loss of Space Command Headquarters Brings an Alabama City Down to Earth
  • I feel for the people of Huntsville. It really sounds like they got fucked because their last name. But ultimately, you won't attract talent from other places in the US if you tell them they're going to be working in Alabama. This is just the consequence of their politicians and the folks to voted for them.

    Donald Trump Has an Absurd Amount of Support From Republicans Who Believe He Committed “Serious Federal Crimes”: Poll
  • If say Bernie Sanders also broke the law but in his supporters’ minds was morally right, they wouldn’t abandon him.

    To add to this, this literally happened in 1963 and is referenced as one of his biggest selling points.

    NASA is launching its own streaming service later this year
  • In a climate thats already saturated with “streaming services” Why even create a “streaming service” if the intention seems to be just “NASA news”. It would in my opinion still be better to partner with one of these larger streaming services in order to push NASA to more people.

    Huh, that's actually a reasonable point of view - none of which could've been extrapolated from your original comment. Thanks for clarifying.

    What song always makes you turn up the volume whenever it comes on?
  • I keep thinking about my MiL when I hear this song - "I don't like him". She was in the same circles as Bill back in the day - apparently he was not a nice guy to women. I turn the volume up when it's on because the song's damn good, but still...

    Google tries to defend its Web Environment Integrity
  • Online services cost a lot of money. People don't realize how much because VCs and corpos w/ deep pockets have been subsidizing most major services for a long time. Now that the free money period is more-or-less over, these services need to start paying the bills with their users - commence enshittification

    Final Fantasy 16's Naoki Yoshida says negative comments from trolls are "tiresome" | Eurogamer
  • There’s constructive criticism and then there’s

    There's a lot of people who just yell at you, people I've never seen, met, or talked to before. It's weird. What did we do to them? Perhaps they just write it from a place of negativity and malice. It's tiresome.

    Coming from ffxiv, YoshiP knows what actual grievances are and what troll comments are. It’s not a “reality distortion field” to call jackasses, jackasses

    Xbox Accessories App will soon let players map keyboard keys to controller buttons | VGC
  • With the "Xbox Extended Feature Support" option selected, you actually can map individual keys to paddles within steam. The problem is Steam Input/BigPicture has been incredibly unreliable for me within the past few months. I'm just glad I can make changes using the first-party software now.

    Edit - saw your edit. Changed the post title to make it a little more clear
