Trump's return to power fueled by Hispanic, working-class voter support in c/world

[–] biofaust 14 points 2 weeks ago

I will say what being born and raised in Rome taught me: all religious people are dangerous and all priests, for which I have a very wide definition that includes namaste-firing yoga teachers and Elon Musk, are the worst individuals humanity could produce.

Religious people, including the ones that call themselves "atheists but spiritual", may not be dangerous to you now, but they are then to be regarded as sleeping terrorist cells.

Very good media works depicting the concept are the movie The Mist and the series Midnight Mass.

Priests, in my personal definition, is any person appealing to irrational concepts to predate on people's ignorance.

I can tell you that I was forbidden from doing that while playing during a vacation in Colorado, mere months before Columbine. This bullshit is ridiculous.

I would like to know what Modi said exactly to elicit such response. I know the guy is not of my liking already, but lately I am interested in knowing whether he is just playing as a relay for Putin or rather distancing himself from him.

It is not the point of this discussion in particular because I am talking about positions held on the basis of reasoning. The wet dreams of an American conservative are not exactly a bright example of logic.

That is not the same as making them cease to exist. A lot of people wish that was the case, but hundreds of martyrs, saints and not, prove them wrong.

Everyone answering me seems to not allow for the option that I may not counter the other person with an alternative I defend with reason. My dislike for that expression assumes that I find myself in a discussion over something worth defending with reason, otherwise there is no discussion in the first place.

Of all things, cooking a steak is the worst example maybe. Also, there is no reasoning around not allowing things or people to exist because, for one, they exist.

Is Dune part 2 worth watching? in c/sciencefiction

[–] biofaust 3 points 3 months ago

I will go against most opinions and I would say give it a try.

My friends who are into the book quoted much more from the second and style-wise I can tell you this: I LOVED the first one. I HATED the second one.

So, since the book seems really to be about deception, war and religion (the last 2 I despise to see in movies because I find them boring as hell), I could suggest you watch it.

"Let's agree to disagree".

No, you asshole, we are getting to the bottom of this: you expose your reasoning for your position and I will do the same and this ends when reason doesn't support anymore one of the 2 sides.

And The Hobbit (respect to Del Toro for giving up before it was too late). And Justice League (even if, after Dawn of the Dead and 300, Snyder never did a good one again).

I need help devising a "reverse Movember" (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by biofaust to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink

Last year I did Movember as a joke and people actually donated money!

This year I decided to grow a beard, so I was thinking about making it a reverse Movember, going from full beard to moustache only.

What do you think should be my course of action during the month? I thought of:

Fading the beard slowly with a trimmer, while keeping the moustache untouched.
Narrowing the beard to a chinstrap and then closing it into a goatee. Finally, moustache only.
Somehow slowly making the beard converge into a goatee, by completely cutting it simmetrically starting from the ears.

1 is the most socially acceptable, but it will be hard to see until the last stages. 2 is figured out, but the idea of a very thin chinstrap makes me uncomfortable. 3 is not figured out at all but would be the most visible on the progress pictures.

I need at least 5 phases (one per week + starting point), but ideally more.

Any tips/ideas?

Are there any obvious inspirations in current fashion for the Neomilitarist style? (self.cyberpunk2077)

submitted 6 months ago by biofaust to c/cyberpunk2077

Playing for the first time and I chose the corpo and loving the style so much when walking in the city center. I am not talking about the more military stuff like Arasaka guards, but rather the kind of outfit sported by Meredith Stout and the Peralez.

I tried to look for people involved in that specific character design on ArtStation, but there seem to be none, and anyway I don't know if it would be possible for me to come in contact with them.

Is this antenna compatible with this wifi card? (self.buildapc)

submitted 10 months ago by biofaust to c/buildapc

1 comments fedilink

I bought these antennas to connect with my wifi card, an Intel Killer AX1690i.

Here you can see a picture of the antenna connector and the Wi-Fi card. I paid special attention in making sure the description on the antenna stated it was compatible with Intel M.2 cards.

I am having a surprisingly tough time connecting them, currently to no avail, so I would like to know if I am doing anything wrong, if I was sent the right product, if you have any tips etc.

Does an M.2 Wifi card (Intel Killer WiFi 6E AX1690i) need an external antenna? (self.techsupport)

submitted 1 year ago by biofaust to c/techsupport

I need to add Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity to my PC which is built on an ASROCK Phantom Gaming D5 mobo. Before buying I checked on this resource from ASROCK website and the adapter is meant to be fully compatible and a specification of a 2T2R antenna is matching it (which I until now assumed would be an internal feature.

I installed the adapter and the latest drivers and the device is recognized as both a Bluetooth device and a Wi-Fi adapter, but:

Wi-Fi, although technically working (on 802.11ac) is extremely sluggish, de facto unusable.
Bluetooth is not recognizing any devices when in discovery.

The Motherboard Manual (page 11) states that there are 3 x Antenna Mounting Points on the Rear panel, which I think I have identified as 3 holes to be punched out from the panel, but then I would not know how to proceed.

Would the installation of an external set of antennas likely solve the problem? If so, how do I choose one and how do I install it?

The design we all know and love is everywhere, well embedded in the visuals and in the story.

No Bluetooth device detected by Intel ax1690i on Windows 11 (self.pcmasterrace)

submitted 1 year ago by biofaust to c/pcmasterrace

I have just installed my new Intel Killer Wi-fi 6E ax 1690i on my ASRock Phantom Gaming 4/D5 and, while the wifi works wonderfully, I cannot detect any Bluetooth device, even after updating to the latest intel Bluetooth driver. I am on Windows 11 and am testing trying to connect my Jabra Elite 3, but anyway my phone detects a plethora of devices from my neighbors.

Is this a known issue and does anyone have any tips on what to try to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Are there patterns one learns to solve SQL interview questions (or tasks in general)? (self.sql)

submitted 1 year ago by biofaust to c/sql

3 comments fedilink

I recently tried my hand at an advanced online SQL test for a io position. Time-trial, non-autocompleting IDE, no human interaction. I failed miserably (0%) and I am fine with it. I have prepared myself with StrataScratch and the Mode tutorial, on top of my experience in querying GA4 data in BQ and other data for finance, sales and operations. . Although the resources are good to familiarize with SQL functions and structuring queries, I still feel that I am missing some kind of mindset that would enable me to tackle SQL questions irrespective of complexity. I don't want to know necessarily the details, if it is hard for you to explain, but I would like to know if there is such a state of mind to achieve. Of course, any description and resource is welcome.
