  • UK: Far-right rioters storm hotel housing migrants

    Jump

  • It really does seem like it boils down to this every time. How can an aggressive propaganda campaign be counteracted without infinite resources, and without alienating people?

  • EU states set to back tariffs on Chinese EVs - says trade chief

    Jump

  • Is anything stopping western nations from subsidizing their own EV industries to the same degree China purportedly does?

  • C'mon

  • I just did a quick search, and found this:

    Concurrent use of stimulants with antidepressants is a high-risk behavior and is medically contraindicated due to potential cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme inhibition and a resulting increase in serotonin levels.

    So it was the common culprits, the P450 enzymes. I'm lucky to have not given myself serotonin syndrome many times.

  • One could do some photogrammetry and then analyze the 3d mesh. It only requires taking multiple photos from different angles. Might even be able to get something going from online photos, provided you match the time of day for the entire set...

  • Starmer’s live facial recognition plan would usher in national ID, campaigners say

  • Governments worldwide will do anything to preserve their hegemony, except make living more tolerable.

    Any potential movement against government overreach needs to counter every tactic they use. This means: communicating away from prying eyes and ears; using custom-made encryption when communicating remotely; full vetting of members, lest the movement be weakened; having a cell-based structure; knowing all the psychological tricks the govt. uses; etc.

    (I can say these things freely because I am not a part of any movement ;) Additionally, I am not advocating violence.)

  • US deploys jets and warships as Iran threatens Israel

    Jump

  • The US will probably want another land base in the general area. Megiddo, for instance, might be a strategic location. Of course, the people living there would need extra defensive capabilities. But to get public support, the initiative will need a name... perhaps something like 'Arm Megiddo'. /j

    On a more serious note, this could easily get very bad very quickly, and not just 'over there'. We trust our governments to make decisions that keep us safe, but once they stop doing that they invite total destabilization from within. If the mainland gets attacked, all hell could break loose here...

  • Future-proof your arms capacity for a few years with a coat of arms. No more worring about not having available arms.

  • US Forest Service failing to protect old growth trees from logging, critics say

    Jump

  • On top of everything else, they don't actually produce pears.

    Ugh, it's like people are against free food. I know fruit trees can make a mess, but why not plant fruitless trees over paved areas, and fruiting trees in parks and other wooded areas? It's also true that the fruit will attract so-called 'pests', but they would also attract more beneficial creatures as well...

    We are so alienated from life in this country :(

  • US Forest Service failing to protect old growth trees from logging, critics say

    Jump

  • The logging industry sucks. They log old growth and plant a single species in what was previously a diverse ecosystem. They spray poison to protect their saplings from competition, and among the poisoned dead are fruit plants which fed the local wildlife. All wildlife suffers as a result.

    I met up with some loggers who took down a very old pine I used to walk past. They told me that it looked like it contained a lot of good wood, but after it fell they realized it wasn't so good after all. So they left it laying there, and their attitude was 'oh well.'

    Adding to all this suckage, the industry takes trees from the land we all share and if they don't get exported to another country, they get processed and sold here for exorbitant prices. That wood could be used to build affordable housing but no, the rich have to get richer, even if it means shitting all over everything.

  • Oh shit, I'm 95% sure I saw one of these in the early 80s and have been wondering what it was ever since...

  • Imagine an industry ruining your homeland and family's way of life, and then government offering you a job in that same industry to keep you silent and obedient. It seems a lot of desperate people are applying for jobs anyway, but what does that do to one's psyche?

    What are some good software suggestions for windows?

    Jump

  • Irfanview for image viewing.

    Finally somebody mentions this. It's lightweight & loads quickly; is highly customizable and can do a number of image edits like cropping, filters, resize with various resampling methods; it can save to a bunch of different formats; etc. It's always been one of the first things I install.

  • Allow me to rock your perceptions

    Jump

  • At least they provided this tidbit:

    Engineers also discovered, as they plowed past the first 14,800 feet (4,511 meters), that the rock had much more porosity and permeability. That, paired with the extremely high temperatures, made the rock behave more like a plastic than a solid, rendering drilling virtually impossible.

  • Just going to point out that alcohol is literally a poison people drink to make them feel good.

    It starts that way, but quickly turns on you. Pretty soon you're pissed at everything for no good reason, you're tired but have enough energy for angry outbursts, and your world just shrinks and shrinks along with your brain. Horrible drug. Maybe some people can handle having a drink regularly, but I sure can't ':S

    Anyway yeah, getting caught up in politics can be similar.

  • In fiery speech to Congress, Netanyahu vows 'total victory' in Gaza and denounces U.S. protesters

    Jump

  • You're right, and it's horrifying that it continues. I guess I was just voicing a wish that it would end soon.

    I also don't trust either party to fix any of these things. It's a sly game their playing, and sadly it's still working -_-

  • In fiery speech to Congress, Netanyahu vows 'total victory' in Gaza and denounces U.S. protesters

    Jump

  • It's must be like one long nightmare for Palestinians. It's akin to the Great Tribulation, and the politicians who claim to believe in such things are way too happy supporting Israel. I cannot imagine the US standing much longer, not after this and everything else this country has done to the world. It has to end.
