Nicolas Cage's The Wicker Man is the only John Wick spinoff worth your time.

  1. That movie is older than John Wick
  2. It's a remake of an even older movie
  3. Which is based on an even older book
  4. The plot has NOTHING to do with hired killers or anything John Wick related

Are you sure you didn't mixed up the movie?

Every time I see that, or similar, explanation on a piece of media it reminds me of Stargate SG-1 https://youtu.be/zBjbNqBjSMI

Context for the video, the guy is a technologically advanced alien trying to contact another alien species that's light years away from earth. They're also refusing to share technology with earth humans because they deem earthlings are too primitive. In that same episode they talk about quantum physics and their answer is "ahh, yes, I remember that, I studied it in school, together with other misconceptions".

I love Stargate, in part because they take the time to explain things, sure, they do a bunch of stupid stuff too, but a lot of the time they're fairly accurate, and when something needs to go against physics they even acknowledge that that's not how it's supposed to work.

I like Earl Grey, but also drink a lot of Mate (although not sure if people consider this a tea)

[–] Nibodhika 5 points 1 month ago

Something almost, but not quite entirely unlike tea

Sure, but so far he's just the democratically elected president, if after his term is up he doesn't want to leave then absolutely kick him by force. Until then any attack is, by definition, anti-democratic.

Not quoting Hitlerz but the "prime minister" did say about rent for a one bedroom apartment being over €2k that "people need to remember that one man's rent is another man salary".

The president is nice though, although he's just a decorative position, he seems like a very sensible Hobbit.

First of all, I'm not from the USA so take this with a grain of salt, but are you suggesting the election was rigged or fraudulent? Because if not you're the one trying to impose an authoritative regime. Like it or not he was elected democratically, and this time you can't even use the excuse that your voting system is weird because he also got the majority of votes. So the majority of people in your country think that he's the correct person for the job, or in any case don't oppose him.

So what you're talking about is for a minority to raise arms against the democratically elected government. You are the one who's being anti-democratic. Even if you were to win the revolution you would need to put a tyrant in power because calling a new election would result in the same outcome.

Like it or not the majority of the people in your country are stupid enough to either want that or not caring. That's one of the dangers of democracy, but starting a revolution to remove a democratically elected president in the name of democracy is just as dumb.

On my personal computer ~/Projects/<name>, you need to remember that real-life is not like college, you won't be working on a new project every week. If you have more stuff than you can manage like this, you've bitten more than you can chew.

On my work computer it's a bit more complex, because I have to work with other people's projects as well, so I have a ~/Work folder and in it several folders by type of stuff, e.g. ops for operational stuff such as scripts to deploy stuff or grant permissions, code for servers (and client) code, etc. Also if I'm working on something specific that requires multiple repos I create a folder for that project with the repos inside.

Bluetooth uses less power, because usually the polling rate is lower. This is from my mouse's manual:

Bluetooth mode has lower report rate compared to LIGHTSPEED. In Bluetooth mode, G604 has longer battery life as well.

So you're saying that if they had comed up with more votes that had gotten "lost" and the result of the election was changed post-facto by those newly found votes that would not be fraud?

If creating fake votes to change the result is fraud, surely asking someone to do it is attempted fraud.

Yes, the drones was just an example, hence the "example given" before it.

Yes, only those with ties to the war, e.g. people who work for companies that develop software used on Russian drones.

But people are angry that this wasn't explained from the beginning.
