- Comment on How does one country prepare to fight the other? With out spies? Like Iran is fortifying against a US strike. But how do they know what we will strike with and vice versa all thru history? 7 hours ago:
The art of war is extremely complex and there is no way to cover everything in one Lemmy comment.
However, I can summarize: An attacker or defender simply needs to prevent the opposing side from being able to support a war.
While there are thousands of different things that can support war, it usually boils down to raw manpower, food/supplies, weapons, energy, logistics and communications. Failing to defend, or not having the capability to replenish/repair those things is usually a quick game-over as those items are highly dependent on the other. Anything that supports those key items is a target of the enemy, so those are the things that are stockpiled, fortified or should be rebuilt quickly.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 1 month ago:
Air, water, AIO, whatever. If it cools well, use it. I just prefer AIOs and there really isn’t any maintenance, was my main point. There are always tradeoffs between AIO, air or a proper water rig, so there is that. (Fans are crazy quiet these days, but when I made the switch, it was mainly for noise. I always run an overclock, so my fans were always hauling ass which probably isn’t needed now.)
Ultimately, I prefer AIOs for the way airflow is managed. It’s not better or worse than air in many instances, but I like working with a radiator rather than a chonky heatsink.
I cannot disagree though: zero maintenance is better than maybe-maintenance. Like I said, it’s about tradeoffs.
- Comment on My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get? 1 month ago:
I have been exclusively using AIOs for years now. Generally, by the time they need maintenance, its already time for a major hardware update and rebuild anyway. That is, of course, if it is serviceable. This depends on the quality of the AIO you buy, TBH. I had a first-gen Corsair AIO start to get audible air bubbles on startup, but it’s long since been recycled.
I am sure other people have some kind of horror story about an AIO leaking or something, but in general, they don’t really need to be maintained if it actually is a sealed system.

- Comment on hl shirt 2 months ago:
Sick! That would be a fun show. I was able to catch (probably) one of the last Sasha and Digweed shows that are probably ever going to happen and it was a good throwback to younger times.
Seeing artists now that I listened to during the birth of the rave music scene, now that I can afford it, is amazing. Unfortunately, it reminds me of how old I am. The last Sasha and Digweed show was packed full of people my age and it was exactly like an old-school wearhouse party. (The after-party even went to 6-7AM.)
(I didn’t take them) But we even had random people basically just shoving free pills (supposedly molly) at us too. Chances are it wasn’t malicious, bit more of a “spread the love” vibe.

It’s the logo for Aphex Twin, an iconic electronic music producer.

- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 2 months ago:
The south can be really tribal like that. Once someone gets hooked on the southern baptist group-think schtick, independent thought is near impossible. I ain’t saying that is the case for all people, but if Bojangles being a sponsor of NASCAR is important to your life and belief structure, odds are fairly high that someone else is making decisions for you.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 2 months ago:
I am from NC, believe it or not. People can identify with whatever they want, but it’s kinda silly when they are identifying with a company that really isn’t southern any more.
It’s kinda like how people are dedicated to their home NFL team when none of the players are from that area. It confuses me, s’all.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 2 months ago:
Totally had me fooled with the truck that is driving backwards dumping spice out of its front.
Bojangles was founded in NC but the company has been shuffled through so many investment firms now, it’s basically just a brand with zero soul.

Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.

I personally watch he hell out of PBS shows and have since I was a kid. (Space Time on YouTube is probably at the top of my list now.) My first thought about PBS was, “PBS has a web site?”.

It’s so much more complicated than that, it seems. Wool was a major business, even back then: cambridge.org/…/A173396BD9F8E10E74634263506620BE
While I don’t think that article proves or disproves a woman being financially independent through spinning, it does hint that wool was extremely expensive, big business and it took quite a bit of cash to buy the raw materials.

Punctuation can change context and/or grammar, but I’ll meet you on the middle on that one. I’ll also just keep telling myself that it was an intentional mistake by the editors to trigger real grammar nazis.

- Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years? 3 months ago:
I’ll never drink again, but there are some days still that I wish my mind could be as numb as it was while I was a raging alcoholic. That thought is usually replaced with remembering how shitty I always felt and how I didn’t give a fuck about anything. Life was a blur.
A mostly clear mind and recovering body is a very good thing. Daily stress is easily managed with regular exercise and chronic anxiety and depression is only a tiny fraction of what it once was. It’s a good life now.
I believe the lifestyle changes not only lengthened my life, but it also stretched out my perceived time as well.

I don’t give a shit about this post or any argument happening, but I am curious about why you think defamation of public figures specifically, has to have consequences?
I am not a fan of defamation against anyone, but I give the least amount of fucks for any politician. (Maybe one or maybe half of a fuck is given in their case.)
