It's before the time?

We've been saying it since Bush II's WAR ON TERROR!

Gee, I wonder what the solution will be if other countries wont take our undesirables.

I had to look that up and I've always lived in an English speaking country. Such a weird way to say 5:30.

I know that type. They always escalate their stories and think everyone's always believing them, when in reality, everyone's too polite to call them out, until they're not.

If Putin was smart, he'd have realized that removing getting the Dems out of power would lead to no reason for them to hold Ukraine back. This war has been a power token in DC the whole time. If he was smart though, he wouldn't have started his "3 day special military operation" in the first place though.

...

You know something that often gets overlooked about bigoted "humor", is how predicable and tiring it it. Even if it wasn't inherently offensive, it's not funny.

Again, this doesn't have to be Putin's doing, but it is his fault that you can just cover up a murder by pitching the body out a window.

Yeah. That's a real possibility. I doubt the police in Russia are very interested in doing a thorough investigation in the first place, but I doubt they're going to put in any effort if they think they'll risk pissing off Putin or one of his lackeys. He could have been killed by a rival and the body dropped out of the window afterwards and it had nothing to do with politics.

That being said, Russians may just have issues with windows for some reason.. Personally, if I was Russian, I wouldn't live in a place with large windows in the first place.

This could be a non political murder disguised at a political murder with the hopes that the police won't investigate.

Yeah and someone else in this threat brought up that there's another side to the discord drama. Frankly, this case is too messy to untangle. I can't tell if she's being completely honest or if all this could have been prevented of she set better boundaries. Regardless, I don't think it speaks to the greater issues in "gaming culture".

I'm not a gamer. I play games, but I'm not a Gamerᵀᴹ. I noped out of the "community" a long time ago.

I'm a little curious where she's getting the harassment from. If it's from twitter, I don't know what to tell her. It's designed to amplify hate and anxiety. If it's from lan parties or irl shit, yeah, I haven't experienced it, but I have seen that to a degree.

edit: Wait. Is the "harassment" coming from needy fans asking her to tweak her work for their liking? That's a little different from what I assumed this was about. I'm not going to side with the community nagging her for tweaks, but if she's creating this for herself, she needs to disengage from those types. If she's creating these mods, putting them out online and expecting only positive comments, I don't know what to tell her. This is something all big modders and have to deal with.

 

Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for "those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell". I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling.

I linked to what I think the person was talking about.

 

I was thinking of how people on the old internet would just create and share stuff for the simple sake of doing it, without trying to grind the algorithm. This woman in the mid 00's would bike through Chernoby, taking pictures and checking rad levels along the way.

Her anglefire page is defunk, but she has a youtube page now.

And for an added level of interesting, here's the slashdot page where I originally found it.

 

Hello,

I'm creating a BoM for a youth group project. We're planning on building the Electromagnetic Ring Accelerator from Hyperspace Pirate. He's provided the 3d print files, but not the finer details on wire gauge, enamel wire gauge and ball size. I also want to confirm the photoresistor. Are there different photoresistors with with different sensitivities or ranges?

I've included the wip of the BoM.

 

I'm in a catch 22 situation. I want to go to a four year college, but I was previously placed in the remedial track and have a poor academic standing. If I go to a community college, I could improve my grades, but the material they cover is a replacement for high school classes and I'd be precluded from signing up for entry classes at the four year college. This seems like to would put me at a disadvantage when that finally happened and I would only be setting myself up for long term failure.

I'd consider CC if I could "transfer" in as a freshman to a four year, but the colleges I looked into all have rules against applying as a freshman if you have two years worth of credits. When I tried CC, the material was absolutely high school level just with smaller font in the textbooks.

 

I've been seeing a lot of usernames formatted "[lowercase][fourdigits]" or "user-[randomletternumbers]".

Normally, I'd assume that that just means the name was already taken and the numbers are manually entered to make it unique, but the formatting is too consistent. Is that something google is doing automatically?

The other one is real weird. Is that something some proxy sites are doing for anonymous posting?
