it would take the insulin mafia out of business in some countries (e.g. the US). so there would be a big battle to keep it off the market

lurch ,

during winter i use gentoo, so the cpu keeps the room cozy

lurch ,

your search word shown at the top doesn't match either 🤔

China's government launched additional "local communication centers" to increase propaganda efforts worldwide ( chinamediaproject.org )

The addition of external propaganda bases in Zhejiang and Tianjin over the past two weeks brings the total number at the provincial level to 23. These International Communication Centers (ICCs), also being launched at the city level, are meant to remake China’s approach to delivering its message externally....

lurch ,

lol, you have a very cool typo in the title "propanda". i'm also pro-panda 🐼 💕

lurch ,

if russian people follow through this will finally silence the last western politicians arguing to not be so hard on russia.

lurch ,

the best cover up would be to use russian nukes vs russia. imagine the confusion. they are probably easy to bribe and probably also lost a bunch already (as did multiple nations)

lurch ,

the image quality is very good

I though Mars missions were supposed to be one-way, kinda.

Like the trip is so long, you can't come back immefiately, but have to at least camp on Mars or maybe even stay forever.

lurch ,

those people have too much free time

it's just that gnome devs are super fast pace crazy scientists. anything that sounds wild, they gotta try it and often they have to abandon something that worked fine to do the new experiments. they had custom theme engine plugins as shared object files, JS window management, CSS themes, SVG icons, app specific buttons in title bars, JS extensions and they're not gonna quit. if you use gnome and you rice your desktop, you better prepare to port your theme at least twice per year.

lurch ,

nah, you need to tell them. it keeps them going. they crave that edgy feel

lurch ,

get rid of timezones. i don't mind if what used to be 0800 is then 2100. i'll get used to it.

lurch ,

The russian war could be ended if China attacked from the other side, forcing russia to split its forces and China could take a gigantic chunk of land out of russia above Mongolia, crippling russia forever and encircling Mongolia, forcing all shipments not by air to Mongolia through China.

lurch ,

I'm more of a toaster magician 😅

lurch ,

this guy trenches

lurch ,

upvoted, so the russians see this and start doing it more 🎆

lurch ,

Well because Hanas is not a nation, not even officials of sorts. It's just some rando guerilla group that likes to abduct people and shoot missiles at people they can't beat.

lurch ,

what really matters is one of them should be in jail and not get the launch codes again, in case he wants to nuke the weather again

lurch ,

considering we have a record of over 6000 years of overlapping armed conflicts and wars, yes absolutely.

there has not been a single worldwide peaceful day for thousands of years.

it's not 100% sure the ones currently going on will be called world wars. maybe it will be a new one. there's always another war, unfortunately.

jar jar binks saying uh oh big boomers

guys, be careful with these kind of sandals. more than once the front of the sole of mine got caught in something and i tripped. now i only buy those italian style sandals that have a piece going down the front.

lurch ,

any that has the sole in the front like a little shovel are dangerous in my experience.

those are safe:

How dense would the atmosphere need to be to result in a cataclysmic chain reaction during a nuclear explosion?

Famously, Oppenheimer and co worked out how close a nuclear bomb test would be to causing a chain reaction of nitrogen fusion in the atmosphere. They made a lot of worst-case-scenario assumptions and still came to the conclusion that no, a nuclear bomb test wouldn’t scour the surface of the world....

lurch ,

i think the idea is that the part that already fused creates a blast wave that could create the conditions, including preassure required for more fusion. i have no idea if it's possible though.

if you think microbes got in that can survive in salt and are harmful to humans (which is unlikely), you can bake it in your oven a bit (without the container)

lurch ,

I guess a few spores don't mind salt, but i don't know for sure. That's why I wrote microbe.

lurch ,

you can fill up the disk a few times after deleting files, so the system has to use up all free space and no matter where your data was it gets overwritten.

lurch ,

after rm fill up the file system with random data a few times, then copy /etc/skel/ over to get the default configs back. maybe, if you're paranoid, use a few apps like browsers, so if they actually look, there will be misleading results.

    it's basically the furthest you can go before it's a monster truck

    lurch ,

    I may be stubid, but not that stupid 😎

    lurch ,

    I'm so not surprised

    lurch ,

    lol, you just want to be fingered 🤣

    lurch ,

    so builtin fail2ban. i hope attackers can't overflow the penalty storage

    lurch ,

    try it in a VM or a live USB

    Bad Religion

    Reggie And The Full Effect

    Die Toten Hosen

    Die Ärzte

    lurch ,

    that's what it should do anyway

    lurch ,

    chill

    lurch ,

    if this even is propaganda (what is very controversial), it's the good kind; the kind that inspires people to be thankful for what has been passed down to them and to treat others with respect.

    lurch ,

    Does it have onboard graphics? It will be hard without that.
    If it has, you can make a vintage arcade machine, but with multiple games. You could, for example, run linux with OpenTyrian on it, which is one of my favorite games. Xgalaga++ and a lot of old games with DOS emulation should also be possible. You can strip down the OS, so only the barest minimum runs; should save some RAM and CPU.

    lurch ,

    "Well, some of them are built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all." 🤣

    lurch ,

    those "regions" should sell them to Ukraine for cheap 🤣

    no seriously, if you have the balls, do it.

    lurch ,

    Anyone that's talked a really old person sees all kind of weird stuff going on with their mouths.

    a long time ago i read that's because the older one gets, the less thirst one feels and therefore older people don't hydrate enough, if they don't actively hydrate more than they feel thirst

    lurch ,

    And you’ll note that I said ‘you’. cuz we all age and you and I and everyone in this post are not exempt from getting older as we speed through the time dimension.

    That's very optimistic of you, as not all of us will reach old age. I'm probably not gonna make it past 60. We shall see.

    lurch ,

    some people are trying to undo the progress the world made in the 90s and early 00s. it's not just on this subject (abortion too, for example). even if this doesn't affect everyone directly, it's bad for the general mood and indirecty makes society and economy more dull and less innovative. it's like a big weight pressing down on everyone.

    "the call is coming from inside the house"

    lurch ,

    i actually was in 2 recently, but one wasn't important and i muted it when a colleague started showing slides. wouldn't recommend either way.

    lurch ,

    This replaces middle management 🤣

    lurch OP ,

    At the end of the day they were nowhere to be seen. Either the birds got them or they pulled a Cotton Eye Joe on me.
