Trump tells Iran to sign deal with US or ‘the whole country is going to get blown up’
This sort of implies nuclear war. And nuclear war implies global nuclear war, which implies apocalyptic nuclear war. Though it’s not totally clear. If the US nuked Iran, other nuclear powers may respond with non-nuclear weapons on the US.
Hopefully it’s just another tantrum, and he’ll forget his threat like last time.
A lot of apocalyptic themed comics on Lemmy’s front page today. I wonder why /s
There are some people who do that. Just driving on the steel rims of their cars. But they usually take it a step further, driving on roads that are also made of steel.
Probably order a Digikey catalog. Do they still make printed catalogs? No idea. Then I’d download as many Kicad libraries as I could find.
I’d scrape, as best I can, the online stores of anywhere I’d expect to need to buy from. Hopefully they’ll set up phone lines to order through.
I’d download as many Steam games as I could fit, starting with the smallest. I have a bunch that I got from sales for like a dollar, and haven’t played yet. I’d probably try to organize LAN parties for Factorio, Total Warhammer, Phasmophobia, and 7 Days to Die. I’d get a crack for Steam, to let me play all my games offline. I know it has an offline mode, but sometimes it doesn’t work, and asks you to sign in, so I’d have the crack ready in case offline mode stopped working.
I’d download full disc sets of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora (which I’ve never run, but maybe I’d try). The full sets, the ones with every single package, so I could install any package I wanted without Internet access.
I’d find a local Linux users group, so I could bring my questions there instead of web searching. And help others with their questions when they can’t web search either.
I’d find books and videos to watch, by going to torrent sites and sorting by seeders.
will likely hurt the wealthy in the long run with decreased profits. They don’t care about the long term though.
The ultra wealthy don’t care as much about their own wealth, as much as the ratio of their wealth to the average person. Most billionaires would accept a decrease in their own quality of life in exchange for a bigger decrease in the average quality of life
“Ending is better than mending”
I dunno, but it’s not like this.
I’ve tried supporting multiple news sites, but it’s always something. Like the site just crashing before I can get to pay, or an endless captcha, or my credit card being rejected as sussy, but the credit card company claims they haven’t declined anything. I’ve tried multiple credit cards, multiple computers, Firefox and Chromium, always the same.
The Onion is the closest thing to news I successfully paid for.
But Harris actually had a lower chance of winning than a hypothetical Harris-without-genocide candidate.
“Stop supporting Israel’s genocide” is something America could handle in 2024.
Castielsprostate has been using HP inkjet printers for too long. They need to get a Brother laser printer.
In 1991, lithium-ion batteries cost around $9,200 per kilowatt-hour — 33 years later, they cost just $78.
Where can I get lithium-ion batteries for $78 per kilowatt-hour?
This affects SD cards, which are extremely common and supported by open source operating systems. This affects Compact Flash cards, which use the same protocol as PATA hard drives, just a different connector.
Counterpoint: The Crosscode soundtrack.
Forest level: accordion, guitar, only a bit of flute, no violin.
Forest level 2: accordion, choir, and xylophone.
Forest level 3: steel drums, guitar, some other kind of guitar.
Ice level: flutes, bass guitar.
Ice dungeon: french horn, synthy violin.
Lava level: (none)
Desert level: Exactly what OP said.
Desert town: Totally different from what OP said.
Beach level: guitar, flute, piano, very little steel drums, no ukulele.
Vector sent me a letter offering a $15/hr job. When I got there it turned out to be $15 per sales pitch, with driving time, lead generation time, training, and everything else unpaid. There were many other signs it was a scam. When I came back for the second day of training, I presented my evidence, but I wasn’t able to convince anyone else to leave.
I’m not an expert on relationships, but here’s some car advice:
A driver is always responsible for their passengers’ safety. If he doesn’t care about your safety, as shown by driving 30MPH over the limit, by passing illegally, and by saying “I just don’t care about your safety”, you should never ride with him again unless he shows some serious changes.
Getting out of the car was the right move. Don’t let anyone guilt you for that.
There are things I miss from Windows 95, 98, NT, and XP. There’s nothing I miss from Windows 7, 10, or 11. Everything I cared about had been deleted by the time of Windows 7.
Flash had a ton of vulnerabilities. It felt like one zero-day RCE per year.
Flash never had a good FOSS implementation until years after Flash Player was discontinued.
I was very happy about the death of Flash Player, but neutral on the death of the Flash format.
They do have an obligation to serve their own citizens. The US double tax reporting bullshit does apply to dual citizens.
Their proof doesn’t prove anything if they control the hardware and software scanning your biometrics.
