  • If you don't want to make a universe, store-bought is fine.

  • That's exactly why I run Linux. If you want something that just keeps running the basically the same way for like 20 years, that's your option.

  • I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?

    Jump

  • It is because it works that I spend so much time trying to block them. I don't need them trying to manipulate me, gaslight me, or try to convince me I need shit I don't want.

    It's incredibly toxic.

  • And the stupid plastic casing they now use. I can feel myself microdosing plastic just thinking about it.

  • He frequently does things that make recipes 2% better for 50% more effort. Which is appreciated, but often a little silly. Sometimes though it is well worth it.

  • Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

  • The torment nexus is very profitable.

  • Homebrew remains cheap and easy. Apple juice is annoyingly expensive to get, though, for my cider. :(

  • I made a duct tape tire insert

  • That makes sense. We don't get much snow here.

  • Are studded tires a mountain biking thing? I can't imagine it would help my commute.

  • US Admits It Was ‘Likely Responsible’ for Mass Killing of Iran Schoolgirls

  • Avoiding civilian deaths is woke

  • 40% of global ship traffic is simply moving fossil fuels around! Renewables make much of this traffic obsolete

    Jump

  • Some of it is metallurgical coal..but yeah, big drop will happen eventually

  • U.S. could hold a 'red card' over Canada's Gripen fighter jet option

    Jump

  • Yeah. I'd like to see fighter planes, or heavy drones, built without the needs of g-sensitive, heat-intolerant, oxygen-needing meatsacks. The major problem is communication links and jamming, but on our own territory, keeping a pilot in a bunker with a good link to a plane seems like a better bet.

    Jump

  • There's a pretty massive qualitative difference between 1 and 0. A small amount of jets means we can actually respond to flyover probes. Yes, the threat is asymmetric, but there has to be some token ability to respond.

  • Pete Hoekstra needs the same treatment. Contemptible sacks of shit, both of them. Probably others.

  • Hymn of Breaking Strain, Kipling

    1 The careful text-books measure (Let all who build beware!) The load, the shock, the pressure Material can bear. So, when the buckled girder Lets down the grinding span, The blame of loss, or murder, Is laid upon the man. Not on the Stuff—the Man! 2 But in our daily dealing With stone and steel, we find The Gods have no such feeling Of justice toward mankind. To no set gauge they make us— For no laid course prepare— And presently o'ertake us With loads we cannot bear: Too merciless to bear.3 The prudent text-books give it In tables at the end– The stress that shears a rivet Or makes a tie-bar bend— What traffic wrecks macadam— What concrete should endure— But we, poor Sons of Adam Have no such literature, To warn us or make sure! 4 We hold all Earth to plunder— All Time and Space as well— Too wonder-stale to wonder At each new miracle; Till, in the mid-illusion Of Godhead 'neath our hand, Falls multiple confusion On all we did or planned— The mighty works we planned. 5 We only of Creation (Oh, luckier bridge and rail!) Abide the twin damnation— To fail and know we fail. Yet we–by which sure token We know we once were Gods— Take shame in being broken However great the odds— The Burden or the Odds. 6 Oh, veiled and secret Power Whose paths we seek in vain, Be with us in our hour Of overthrow and pain; That we–by which sure token We know Thy ways are true— In spite of being broken, Because of being broken, May rise and build anew. Stand up and build anew!
