Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

  • Iranian Protesters Say They Were Betrayed By Trump

    Jump

  • I wonder if they thought trump would come to help them "for real" because the only way the orange turd would show on tv for them was as a shitty d-movie villain, which, when you live in a state with censorship, might lead you to think "The regime wouldn't spend so much time painting him in a bad light if he wasn't a good guy!"

  • Certainly, the Jews of the period were not particularly amused at the equation of YHWH with Jupiter

    "We didn't kill the other gods like El and Asherah to elevate YHWH as THE single god so you Romans could spout heresy all willy-nilly!" - The Jews of the era, probably.

  • How hard is it to pirate Warhammer anyway?

    Jump

  • The bottleneck isn't acquiring plastic. The bottleneck is everything else.

    This is spot on. I've had resin printers for ~6 years now, I'm quite skilled at adding supports to models (and despise pre-supported ones). I bought the first one fully intending to print RPG minis and maybe also make my own 40k army. Printed a lot of minis, printed some on commission, sold some, including 40k, but never made an army, "my" army, I get stuck at choosing a force/faction and then making the composition. The ready made combat patrols just feel "meh"

    Most importantly, I only know one 40k group and they play ~30km away from where I live. I already do that kind of trip every single day for work, so that was a huge dampener to me.

  • Same reason people prefer the original thing over cheap copies, even the perfect replicas. This is valid for pretty much everything: art, clothing, videogame cartridges, plastic toys, boardgames.

  • Big Tobacco beats Korea's national health insurer. Again.

    Jump

  • From my stupid understanding of Korean customs and law, the judgement must've been like this:

    Lawyer: "Your honor, my client, the tobacco companies, generate a revenue of 10 billion won and spend 5 on advertising. The NHIS can only ever spend 1 billion against us." Judge: "Since you have more money, tobacco companies, you are more correct. NHIS, go get fucked for not being rich enough."

    The lower court said the NHIS’s payments to medical institutions were the fulfillment of its legal obligations under the National Health Insurance Act and the execution of funds collected or supported under that law — meaning the benefit payments were a duty, not a compensable loss.

    It also held that the smokers themselves did not have valid claims for damages against the tobacco companies, citing difficulty in finding defects in the cigarettes and a lack of proof of individual causation between smoking and lung cancer.

    But the court said epidemiological research has limits, noting that it does not, in fact, provide precise information about what caused a particular individual’s disease.

    To be fair, the argument is scientifically valid, there are many things that increase the risk of cancer, so it's hard to pinpoint "the cause". HOWEVER, a judge deciding that "you can't really prove it was the smoking that caused the cancer" sounds like someone "paying" for the "free gifts" he received from his tobacco friends.

    Jump

  • TL;DR: cloud or not, maintain your agency.

    Even that is getting harder, thanks to google and micro$hit doing everything they can to lock down their respective OSs. Linux on a desktop, yadda yadda, but we're ~12 years into the smartphone era and we still don't fully own those electronic pieces of shit. Only a limited number of models can receive custom roms.

  • If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you would change about computers or the internet?

    Jump

  • Hmmm, I got a few ideas, not necessarily to make a "better now".

    One is for Unix's initial development to only begin in the mid 1980s, instead of the 1970s, which would hopefully result in some of its more obnoxious "features" not existing. rm -rf / - No asking for confirmation, because that will certainly not have any undesired consequences! The main downside is that we wouldn't have the Unix-Haters Handbook

    Another is making RISC style CPUs the default for desktop computers, whether the originals by Acorn or even with Intel deciding to make their own ARM x86 series all the way back in the 80s. I'd pick this one.
