Something something Indian something something
Anyways, the human trafficking flow is the opposite for South Asia. The oil rich nations like KSA and UAE are notorious for enslaved labor by trapping poor people trying to find work abroad with promises of a living wage and foreign national status.
Which is why their foreign abused labor is mostly Pakistani, Indian, and Sri Lankan.
Pakistan is also so ridiculously starved of international tourism that foreigners have trouble trying to pay for stuff because the locals offer too much.
Some examples:

- Comment on Can I still bypass Microsoft account creation when reinstalling windows through the "reset this PC" option? 2 days ago:
And because someone is going to say “Just use Linux”, believe me, I’d love to, but the user experience sucks for literally anyone who isn’t a software developer and the accessibility has actually gotten worse over the 15 years I’ve tried to use it.
Don’t listen to people who suggest Ubuntu (or its downstreams) and the clownshow GNOME desktop environment.
If you have a spare USB lying around, try this live (without installing) to see if you like it and please do share your feedback: fedoraproject.org/kde/
Or even just your general gripes with Linux. I had the same outlook when I first tried Ubuntu but I didn’t realize it was just Ubuntu and GNOME being really crappy until I tried a different distro and DE.
but does that still work when resetting?
Yeah, once you reach the setup screen and it asks you to connect to the internet, hit Shift + F10 (sometimes CTRL + Shift + F10) and it’ll pop open a CMD window in which you want to type in “oobe\bypassnro” and hit enter. PC should restart and when you reach the internet screen again, there should be an option that says “I don’t have internet”. Click that and make your local account.
If it doesn’t work, sometimes you have to do it twice. Just did it yesterday on a real machine and it worked first try, but every VM I’ve made had me do it twice.
- Comment on Space Honey 4 days ago:
I’m too lazy to find it now, but one of the tests they tried long before NASA started sending people into space was eating a banana upside down where they figured out the digestive tract can function against gravity.
There was also an encyclopedia brown story about this in which I remember Geese and Ducks rely on gravity to swallow, therefore they wouldn’t be able to eat in space.

That’s some garbage W/R and it also doesn’t mean anything unless they share their account name so we can look at the gameplay stats which shows how good they actually are in whatever ship they play in lol.
I’ve seen a guy with 10,000+ games that were almost all in PvE, so he was dogwater in literally every other gameode.

The demand will open up any second now
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 3 weeks ago:
If you’re curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.
It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that’s capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.
That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.
Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.
40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can’t even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that’s often banned by other countries due to health risks.
The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything “high” in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).
Everything was switched over to “healthy” options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.
If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don’t worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 3 weeks ago:
If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that’s how most models present eventual societal collapse.
If you mean because its too far gone, that’s not true. There’s still time to mitigate the issues we’ve created, but the effort required increases every year, and there’s not enough being done about it.

- Comment on woops 3 weeks ago:
Why am I like this?
Procrastination
And how can I make it stop?
Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.
Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

Non answer but it reminds me that Britainized Indian food is the same as Americanized Chinese food. Changed enough that its actually counts as its own unique thing which I guess is cool.

Anyways rip NT Kernel lol. Now there really isn’t any use case left where it would actually be useful.
- Comment on How would I improve Wifi consistency within my house? 5 weeks ago:
As others have said, repeaters are pretty garbage for extending wifi. Even mesh systems are nothing compared to multiple APs connected with ethernet.
For hardware if possible, I’d try to stick to using proper APs and not just reused wireless routers so that you can ensure the radio settings are properly matched automatically or manually. I prefer Ubiquiti, but they’re on the pricier side. You can get something way cheaper so long as it has configurable radio settings.
When using multiple APs, you wanna make sure that the newer standards for device roaming are on, and that they are running the same WiFi network. Make sure any repeater or AP to AP wireless function stays off.
Best thing to do is whip out the wifiman app and look at the channel map which will show you what frequency your WiFi devices are running at, as well as any overlap with other people’s routers. Assuming you’ve taken out the repeaters, the packet loss will then most likely occur from overlapping SSIDs.
Now APs are supposed to pick the most empty channel possible, but lots of times they suck at it or are just overcongested (ex: apartments). This is where you can manually configure channels to eliminate overlap.
In my personal experience, you can just consider 2.4Ghz a lost cause and leave it on auto. There’s only 3 non overlapping channels, so there’s just no chance you’ll ever get a solid signal unless you live like a solid half mile away from your neighbor.
For 5Ghz, you get a ton of more room and bandwidth to play with. Once you feel comfortable playing with the channel settings, you will discover the super secret DFS channels if you live in the US. Those channels can interfere with weather satellite data, so you should totally never use them because its not like our current administration has been budget cutting the national weather service or anything.
If you want to have some extra fun, spin up Kali linux on a laptop or anything with WiFi and run bettercap to see the inevitable smart home or IoT device spamming the airwaves causing even more packet loss.

- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 1 month ago:
If you want a very good in depth answer: youtu.be/7y_hbz6loEo
The gist of it is that the USA, KSA, and Israel all want Iran’s current government to be toppled as they are a direct military/economic/political threat.
What’s the logic here? Not just the conspiracy. But why now? Why at all? Is Israel gaining something that I’m not seeing? Destabilization the main goal? What’s the USA gaining here?
Israel is an ethnostate so they do ethnostate things, which means constantly attacking anyone they view as “not us”. Iran happens to be on the top of that list after Israel’s former enemies, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and KSA were passified via the US or Britain.
The US and KSA also want to secure their oil regime, and now that Venezuela is dealt with, Iran is next.
Why does the USA love Israel so much?
They have a significant economic and military investment in Israel, and many of those Israeli billionaires are a part of AIPAC, which successfully lobbies the US to do what they want.
A bonus is Christian zionism which reinforces the idea that Israel must exist to cause the second coming of christ, or the messiah for the Jewish zionists.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 1 month ago:
I don’t think the Biden or a Harris administration would have started a war with Iran while brazenly sidestepping congress.
No they’d probably unbrazenly sidestep congress after Israel manufacturers a reason for them to go to war with something like another 9/11.
