I’m aware, and that fact only lends credence to what I said to another responder in that humans are the same everywhere you go - it’s only the specific variances that are mostly due to culture that differ. Also keep in mind that in America the Republicans have been working to take over the country since the 1970s - more recent events are just the inevitable result of the dam finally bursting. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there were similar forces at work in India.
- Comment on GPD’s monster Strix Halo handheld requires a battery ‘backpack’ or a 180W charger 4 days ago:
It doesn’t have to be lithium, nor non-replaceable. I just meant something to hold the memory contents and processor in a suspend mode long enough to allow battery replacement. Could be a capacitor, or something else that gets the job done. That’s why I alternatively listed allowing hibernation (save memory to storage and power off) as an alternative option. The goal was to be able to resume where you left off after swapping batteries.

Meh. I’d say it’s more variance in method than an actual disparity in quality. Humans are basically the same everywhere you go: some small percentage are truly great, a similar (but seemingly larger) percentage are the truly evil, and the rest are varying degrees in between. The differences are mostly cultural in nature.

America showed them how.

Likely expensive AF once you get all the needed accessories. I wonder if they have a minimal onboard battery, or allow hibernating so you can swap batteries and keep going.

Choosing wisely requires a modicum of rationality - a fact that doesn’t jibe very well with intentionally jumping off a perfectly functional airplane that’s miles up in the air.

Until Trump decides to enforce a universal RTO edict - including removing all financial “home office” breaks from the tax code.

That you get your brainwashing from an alternate source doesn’t change the fact, and your still paying a fuel tax even if it’s of a different variety.

Not entirely - assuming you work in a building, aren’t the “return to office” mandates the same? The cubicle is just your particular pod out of a massive collection of them inside a larger metal shell.

Shitposting? Nah. A really good shit can get you your very own Mr. Hankey for real friendship, tho!

Now that’s a great idea! Using Statler & Waldorf (the old hecklers from the balcony) for Peter Falk’s Grandpa role ought to be hilarious!
I’m gonna be spending hours now trying to figure out which Muppet to assign as each character from TPB - like who gets stuck as Prince Humperdinck (the six-fingered man)? Thanks… 🙄

I’d rather my friends than ones with the annoyingly odd behaviors you seen to have. 🤨

I don’t like musicals because I’m there for a story that’s believable, and that I can relate to - nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example. Muppets get a pass because I already had to suspend my disbelief in order to even want to watch them.

Yes. Godzilla actually appeared, and the US bombed Hiroshima just to get rid of him.

Don’t think Monster sells that. Zoom in close enough & you can see that’s definitely one of their energy drinks.

If you truly believed that, then you wouldn’t have that can of liquid whatever anywhere near that stuff - let alone practically dead center where it has the best opportunity to hit virtually all of it.

- Comment on 5 Reasons Why Mickey 17 Flopped At The Box Office - SlashFilm 4 months ago:
Yeah, I agree - seems a pretty reasonable take for a movie released this time of year. I can’t help but wonder if the press covering Hollywood just wants it to fail because of WB’s current leadership’s unpopularity. I’m no fan either, but something just smells fishy here…
- Comment on How to Set Up Your Online Identity on Keyoxide: A Simple Guide 4 months ago:
I’m not really up on this field, so I’ve never heard of Keyoxide. Did a quick scan of your article, and a couple things popped into my head.
-
How old is this article? It references Twitter without so much as a wink to the rename.
-
I was under the impression PGP keys were no longer considered good security because the keys are static - i.e. they never change, which is why authenticator apps that change codes every minute have been all the rage for many years now.

You’re never a loser if you never admit you’re wrong - no matter how high the evidence piles up just keep faking it 'till you make it, or until it doesn’t matter anymore.
