I was surprised that bands of 20s could add up, but then I remember how you can fit a million dollars in a suitcase with 100s lol

Here is an example of a successful third party in a 2 party FPTP voting system that people keep insisting is impossible in the US because “muh RCV required”

Which are still civilian vessels. They are attacking the trade supply line, which has been a very effective tactic, especially since it also affected the states that back Israel, including the US.

My point is these are both very common warfare tactics. Yes the US is an arse, but they haven’t done anything out of the ordinary aside from the double strike method, which even that originated from the first Gulf War when the US was figuring out how to destroy heavily reinforced bunkers deep in the ground.

The attack on medics and civilians who showed up afterwards is something that should be the key issue here, not the fact that the targets are oil depots.

This is old but you can find the video of the parrot on youtube: https://youtu.be/k-bXN51DJ5E

If civilian trade vessels are valid military targets, oil and gas depots are too.

The target itself is not really defendible as a non military target, but the double strike should be considered war crime behavior because it specifically targets medical and recovery personnel by intentionally waiting between each strike.

Of course, not of that actually matters because the US doesn’t care if they commit war crimes since they’re very content with helping to run a genocide.

Yeah I love the 21st century of globalized conflict /s

The same person who frustratingly joked about why the US can’t drone bomb foreign nationals to solve a whistleblower problem.

Probably will get some groans but World of Warships is actually modeled very nicely. And yeah its a free to play monetized game, but it is miles ahead of war thunder in terms of actually having fun and playing the game at high FPS and great quality even with a potato computer.

The engine has some cool tricks that really makes it shine with water spraying and sloshing onto your vessel.

Every ISP I’ve dealt with thus far has kept me on the same dynamic IP for years on end.

Only once did it actually change for me, and it was seemingly random so I assume they must have updated the lease block range.

It kind of makes sense because if some 3 letter agency asks for a historical lookup, they have less data they need to store compared to constantly rotating IPs to everyone.

Hey now that’s an unfair comparison to freight trains. Just because the Amtrak never showed up doesn’t mean you can’t find a photo of it.

Yeah I remember the SCOTUS bong hits for jesus case where our failure of a chief justice asserted that students (and anyone not staff) do not get the protections of the constitution while in public school, a federally funded and owned system, because of the ol “screw you, that’s why” explanation of overturning an already established precedent because “muh drugs bad”.

Also from the original case that the above case decided to ignore:

The substantial disruption test is a criterion set forth by the United States Supreme Court, in the leading case of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969).[1] The test is used to determine whether an act by a U.S. public school official (State actor) has abridged a student’s constitutionally protected First Amendment rights of free speech.

The test, as set forth in the Tinker opinion, asks the question: Did the speech or expression of the student “materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school,” or might it “reasonably have led school authorities to forecast substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities?” The case holds that to justify suppression of speech, school officials would need to show that the conduct in question would “materially and substantially interfere” with the operation of the school.

Can’t wait for Roberts to use this case to undo the same FA protections for students bruh

I think this all but confirms HTS is just another uncle sam project with some help from Turkey, meaning they will likely do jack all to Israel on their border and also likely end up the same as Iraq.

Xfce 4.20

On my way to attempt an upgrade from Xfce + Compiz to Xfce + Wayfire lol

c/Politics being a bunch of very obvious reddit migrants who stand out like a sore thumb in every other community, including c/WorldNews

China watching the Houthis fail to hit a single ship with a 30 missile salvo:

Even with supersonic anti ship missiles, successfully attacking the US navy is notoriously difficult, to the point that they’ve actually averted invading Taiwan unless some golden opportunity falls into their lap.

That assumes people actually buy it though. Everyone already has this game, so I would expect most of the sales to come from the upgrade pack and not the $90 switch 2 edition. Nintendo usually makes bank by selling old games at full price with a generational console gap.

Tons of the full price successful “remasters” on Switch were Wii games which people no longer used, and Wii U games which no one originally bought.

On the other hand, the last time I didn’t see Nintendo make bank on literally zero effort was never, so I’m not that hopeful that people won’t just shill out for this scam too.

I like how there’s so many fees on this console that we haven’t even gotten to the $50 skype webcam accessory which they spent a solid third of their direct showing off.

I miss the DS era :/

EDIT:

I also want to point out this: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/reggie-had-to-fight-for-wii-sports-as-a-pack-in-and-miyamoto-wasnt-happy

Fils-Aimé pushed for the bundle, and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: “Nintendo does not give away precious content for free.”

“Neither of you understands the challenges of creating software that people love to play. This is something we constantly push ourselves to do. We do not give away our software,” Mr. Miyamoto stated.

It’s ironic that with the success of Wii sports, Nintendo completely ignored the lesson.

People should see any of those videos of 3rd world countries repairing and refurbishing industrial technology on the street with their bare hands. I even remember someone commented that back in the days of the USSR, they used to salvage the solder off old and broken components too.

The sad thing is, many of these people end up with health issues due to lack of any protection or health standard, yet they also provide a superior service and product that you will never find in a first world country due to the industry opting to trash and buy new.

I’ve personally had to junk a radiator because the cheap plastic at the end broke, and no OEM actually sells the plastic part because it only comes as a whole assembly, even though you can easily delid the radiator to replace it if the subpart could be bought or made.

2025 and people are still treating X as a source of information.

youtube comments section has more reliability than what Twitter ever did

the masterofroflness video on this was insane to watch lol

I said the same thing about the same type used on the 3DS but I guess for people who grew up on analog sticks, the flat design is not comfortable or lacks precision in some way, which is weird because I hate regular analog sticks because my thumbs never stay centered and I dislike the curve motion compared to the flat design which feels more akin to a mouse, which is what I primarily use on PC.
