Canadian warship sharing an anchorage with Russian vessels in Cuba ( www.cbc.ca )

The Royal Canadian Navy now finds itself in the unusual position of both shadowing Russian warships as a threat in the Caribbean and sharing an anchorage with them as a guest in the port of Havana — because Canada accepted an invitation to send a patrol ship to Cuba while the Russian navy is in town....

The embargo is the reason they're still so friendly with Russia. Ending the embargo would be a massive step towards friendly relations with the US and less with Russia.

Putin demands more Ukrainian land to end war; Kyiv rejects 'ultimatum' ( www.msn.com )

Trying to get my thoughts straight on the core fantasy of each dnd class

Edit: It seems I never spelled out what my issue with 5e was. My grievance is that as a player the game doesn't empower me to do what I feel is the core fantasy of most classes. I can't fault the DMs for forgetting to include spell scrolls as loot or not do overland travel or whatever, they are small easy-to-forget things. It...

catloaf ,

The point of 5e is to be flexible. If you want to play to your class's lore, you can do that! Druids very early get spells like speaking with animals and plants, for example. It's your choice to play that way or not.

But as for working stuff into the plot and story, that's up to the DM. You might just need to drop reminders ("I wonder if they know anything about my lost brother" or whatever). But if they really just want to run their story as written, you'll probably just need to find a different DM.

catloaf ,

$150? The basic rules are free, and the PHB and DMG aren't that much. Or you could buy something from another publisher like Kobold Press for less.

But if you want to play a fixed game, either play a more rigid system or just a video game. 5e is not for that.

catloaf ,

It's probably because they're complaining about the game, when the problem is their DM's play style.

catloaf ,

Guy's an idiot for sure, but I would expect a delete action to sync as well. Why does a creation sync but not a deletion?

catloaf ,

That doesn't explain why they can't sync a deletion.

PCIe is absolutely plug and play. Cards have been PnP since the ISA era. You probably meant hot-plug, but it's hot-pluggable too: https://lwn.net/Articles/767885/

Any buffered data will sit in the buffer, and eventually be dropped. Any data sent to the buffer while the buffer is full will be dropped. I'm not intimately familiar with communicating with GPUs, but I imagine the only buffers are in the GPU driver (which would either handle the removal or crash) or in the application (which would probably not handle the removal and just crash). Buffering is not really where I would expect to see a problem.

That said, a GPU disappearing unexpectedly will probably crash your program, if not your whole OS. Physical damage is unlikely, though I definitely wouldn't recommend connecting two PSUs to one system due to the potential for unexpected... well, potential. Inrush current wouldn't really be my concern, since it would be pulling from the external PSU which should have plenty of capacity (and over-current protection too, I would hope). And it's mostly a concern for AC systems, rarely for DC.

catloaf ,

Server PSUs are designed to be identical and work on parallel (though depending on platform, they can be configured as primary/hot spare, too). I'd be concerned about potential difference in power, especially with two non-matching PSUs. It would probably be fine, but not probably enough for me to trust my stuff to it. They're just not designed or tested to operate like that, so they may behave unexpectedly.

catloaf ,

Right, it requires device support. And most GPUs won't support it. But it's by no means impossible.

I've got some junk hardware at work, I'll try next time I'm in and let you know.

I suppose the tenth amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Unless prohibited by law, you have the power to do anything you like. As it probably says in the article, this needs to be law, not ATF opinion.

catloaf ,

Right. And because Congress hasn't prohibited them, they're fair game.

I was talking more about the general principle of what is allowed versus prohibited than this specific case, though.

catloaf ,

I read it as asking where in the Constitution there is a right to bump stocks. Did you read as asking where the ban is?

One-Line Patch For Intel Meteor Lake Yields Up To 72% Better Performance, +7% Geo Mean ( www.phoronix.com )

Covered last week on Phoronix was a new patch from Intel that with tuning to the P-State CPU frequency scaling driver was showing big wins for Intel Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" performance and power efficiency. I was curious with the Intel claims posted for a couple benchmarks and thus over the weekend set out to run many Intel...

They are always addressed as "Mr.", but whether they continue to be referred to with the title of President is up to the individual style guide.

The only reason anyone would reject that condition is because they want to resume the genocide.

No, they're allowed to defend themselves. You're not allowed to start a war, that's a violation of international humanitarian law.

And before you reply, no, history did not start on October 7th.

Maybe because the entire state of Israel was created by the British on what was at the time Palestinian land, and nobody else agreed to that. I'm not sure it's an invasion when a third party is saying it's someone else's now.

Honestly, the most effective tool is a spade.

catloaf ,

You would think, but in practice, they're very good at regenerating. That's why these, and others like oriental bittersweet and Virgina creeper are so problematic. (I don't know if they're strictly in the same category, but they behave the same.)

catloaf ,

Yeah but that's going to be expensive.

catloaf ,

So I did a little reading. For rhizomatic plants, the horizontal vine is actually the stem. It's basically one big plant growing horizontally underground. That's why if you don't pull it all, you're just plucking shoots off the stem. And like most plants, if you cut up the stem and plant it, each section will grow a new plant.

Of course, if you completely shred it into very fine pieces, it won't be able to regrow. But it can come back from fairly small ones. You might think you've gotten it all, but it's just regrowing until it erupts again.

catloaf ,

It's a form of mulch. It helps retain moisture, among other things.

catloaf ,

mulch
noun
a covering, as of straw, compost, or plastic sheeting, spread on the ground around plants to prevent excessive evaporation or erosion, enrich the soil, inhibit weed growth, etc.

catloaf ,

It's from https://www.dictionary.com/browse/mulch.

It's just mulch, dude, I'm picking neither nits nor fights.

Our receipt of the photons is what we're concerned with, and that has indeed been years in the making.

Good plan. It didn't end well the last time they crossed the border with hand tools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_axe_murder_incident

Honestly, better being committed to a hospital where he can't be killed by a mob.

I'm all for fighting for human rights, but you have to fight. Just hoping for the best is never going to end well.

To be clear, those are not exclusive ors.

It was not on video. It was in Marine One if I recall. Or maybe in the limo.

Nginx can do that itself with TCP and UDP streams: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/load-balancer/tcp-udp-load-balancer/

But if you want to analyze traffic, use Wireshark.

One thing you can do is copy a paragraph or two into the post text.

Not everything federates. Not everything needs to. For example, if you ban a user from a local community, that action is handled locally.

Chinese military harassed Dutch warship enforcing UN sanctions on North Korea, Netherlands says ( www.cnn.com )

Economic sanctions are the non-violent option. Actual violence would be guns and bombs. If you want to equate the two, war would be the more efficient option, so I don't think you want to imply that it's acceptable.
