  • Yeah man I’m sure Winston Churchill, the drunken failure who lost his own easiest possible post WW2 election to Clement Attlee, is totally not blaming his loss to the voters and not his failure to run a proper public campaign.

    Harris was a good candidate

    Which is why she willingly chose to ignore millions of constituent demands, and banned an entire Democratic party ethnic base from partaking in the DNC because “fuck you, kiss Israel’s ass lol”.

    And that defnitley didn’t backfire at all because voters love being told to eat shit and vote for the lesser evil, especially after not being able to participate in a primary where a candidate people actually wanted could at least be voted on.

    spoiler

    Seriously the actual stupidity to run a Churchill quote in response to voter demands is astounding, especailly because he got shrekt in 1945.

    No that’s what we call HDD fragmentation, and the whole point of fragmentless filesystems like ext2/3/4, UFS, HFS, APFS, etc.

    And it’s not like a small difference, the load time and HDD read demand was down by 40% system wide, not just videogames.

    I’d even go and demo it again, but I removed windows from my ye olde HDD a few years ago. I mentioned WoWs specifically because its a asset heavy game that I actually happened to have installed both on Windows and on Linux on the same HDD, each within their own respective partition.

    spoiler

    Also bonus, HDDs were getting so bottlenecked that Vista introduced preload file fetching to guess which files to cache in RAM based on read call usage, which then also became a feature in Linux with the preload daemon which no one uses anymore.

    It is not, ext4 does circles around piece of junk ntfs and I’ve got the load times from my own old world of warships install to prove it.

    Windows gg ez’d its way out of making a better filesystem with the advent of SSDs which doesn’t have performance hits from fragmenting like a spinning disk does.

    I still remember running defraggler every few months just so I could play Batman Arkham Knight on Windows, otherwise the game would freeze lag and run at a ridiculous 10 FPS.

    Windows also eats 2GB RAM at idle for no reason compared to usually 1.3-1.4 for KDE and 1.0 flat for XFCE. Zswap/Zram also helps a lot when you don’t have an SSD.

    And to top it off, Compiz, Wayfire, KWin, etc all outperform Windows’s desktop compositor by miles in terms of performance and visual snappiness. Windows lags heavily on anything mobile like a light laptop or tablet, yet you can run a full transparent 3D compiz cube no problem with basically no hit to hardware usage due to its use of OpenGL.




  • Which are still civilian vessels. They are attacking the trade supply line, which has been a very effective tactic, especially since it also affected the states that back Israel, including the US.

    My point is these are both very common warfare tactics. Yes the US is an arse, but they haven’t done anything out of the ordinary aside from the double strike method, which even that originated from the first Gulf War when the US was figuring out how to destroy heavily reinforced bunkers deep in the ground.

    The attack on medics and civilians who showed up afterwards is something that should be the key issue here, not the fact that the targets are oil depots.



  • If civilian trade vessels are valid military targets, oil and gas depots are too.

    The target itself is not really defendible as a non military target, but the double strike should be considered war crime behavior because it specifically targets medical and recovery personnel by intentionally waiting between each strike.

    Of course, not of that actually matters because the US doesn’t care if they commit war crimes since they’re very content with helping to run a genocide.

    Yeah I love the 21st century of globalized conflict /s







  • Probably will get some groans but World of Warships is actually modeled very nicely. And yeah its a free to play monetized game, but it is miles ahead of war thunder in terms of actually having fun and playing the game at high FPS and great quality even with a potato computer.

    The engine has some cool tricks that really makes it shine with water spraying and sloshing onto your vessel.




  • Yeah I remember the SCOTUS bong hits for jesus case where our failure of a chief justice asserted that students (and anyone not staff) do not get the protections of the constitution while in public school, a federally funded and owned system, because of the ol “screw you, that’s why” explanation of overturning an already established precedent because “muh drugs bad”.

    Also from the original case that the above case decided to ignore:

    The substantial disruption test is a criterion set forth by the United States Supreme Court, in the leading case of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969).[1] The test is used to determine whether an act by a U.S. public school official (State actor) has abridged a student’s constitutionally protected First Amendment rights of free speech.

    The test, as set forth in the Tinker opinion, asks the question: Did the speech or expression of the student “materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school,” or might it “reasonably have led school authorities to forecast substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities?” The case holds that to justify suppression of speech, school officials would need to show that the conduct in question would “materially and substantially interfere” with the operation of the school.

    Can’t wait for Roberts to use this case to undo the same FA protections for students bruh
