My greatest achievement is never once resorting to listening to the radio in my 20+ years of driving. CD disc man, then an MP3 CD player, then a 32MB MP3 player, then a 10GB MP3 player followed by a series of iPods and iPhones. Even millennials these days lambast the state of music, but I contend that there is more good music being put out every year, it’s just harder to find. Sometimes I find it, sometimes I don’t, but at least I’m not listening to the same 40 tracks on repeat every day. And at least I’m not listening to whatever is considered “classic rock” these days. Please comrades, if I ever tune into a classic rock station and say, “this is my jam”, just put me out of my misery.
Sorry if I unnecessarily jumped down your throat comrade. It just sounded like you were, “wah, the Russians are saying they are French soldiers, the French are saying they are freelance citizens”. Maybe I’m just jaded, but I don’t believe western governments anymore. BUT, I will admit that I also didn’t trust the state department when they were saying Russia was going to invade Ukraine any day either, so what do I know. My assessment was that Putin was smart and that it wouldn’t be easy and that they would incur heavy losses, so they wouldn’t do it. It turns out I was wrong and after those heavy loses, Russia is gaining the upper ground. I guess living in the west, and knowing how much of our tax dollars is fueling the MIC, that I thought our weapons were a little more capable than they are turning out to be. My main point is that we are all subject to propaganda, myself included. And we are heavily propagandized in the west, so pervasively that we don’t even realize it. Either way, listen to both sides, make an assessment of those sides based on evidence and materiel conditions. If I had to wager a $1000 on it right now, my money is on everyone on that list is a French special force being funded directly by whatever is the French equivalent of the CIA is.
Here, I’ll break it down for your lib brain hopped up on western propaganda. These are French special forces just like US special forces have “served” in Ukraine. They are essentially spies trying to assist Ukraine, operating under the presumption that if they are captured they deny any official involvement with the French government. The Russians know this, the Ukrainians know this, the NATO allied western forces know this, especially the US because NATO is the US. Russia is calling it out because it’s an obvious provocation to war. It’s just you that aren’t clued in, and the state department’s talking points are that they aren’t part of an official operation because, gasp!, that would mean we are at war with Russia. Nah, it’s still just another proxy war, one of many in a long line dating back to immediately after WWII.
I doubt it will lead to another WWIII, but Russia is going to use it for their propaganda because it also happens to be true. Wait, you do realize that all governments and media do propaganda all the time, right?
We know that you, and other liberals, would do the same because you are doing it right now for Ukraine and have always supported fascists over anyone and anything that challenges capital or the status quo. That’s one of the many reasons we despise liberals. Arming Nazis is always bad, why is this so hard?
I always like seeing scientific research that benefits or confirms techniques used for cooking. Anecdotally, I started using RDT a couple months ago and it has completely solved my grinder’s static issues. 2-3 spritz of water from a cheap glass spray bottle and my static issues were gone. I single dose and occasionally a wet bean or two will get stuck in the hopper but that’s a minor issue compared to staticky grounds going everywhere and sticking to everything.
Hahahaha, I’m dying! I went to YouTube to find a video about high-temperature gas cooled reactor designs and found this very informative video from a professor in Illinois: https://youtu.be/_mJ3S-VQuHY?si=tNIO1F4NluetZQ1c. He goes over the basic design and benefits of them compared to Gen 3 reactors and then finishes the video, which was published 4 years ago, by saying that they are being tested out in labs and if they prove useful and commercially viable then maybe we will see them rolling out in “30 to 40 years”! And China did it in 4, embarrassing 😂
I’m interested to dig into how the HTGR works. I have what I would call an “average redditor” level of understanding about how graphite and heavy water regulated reactors work but I’m not one of those let’s go all in on nuclear Andys so I’m not up to date on the latest designs.
My main issues with nuclear are the safety, costs compared to other green solutions like solar and wind, what to do about the waste and ensure that it is stored safely for the centuries or millennia that it needs to be stored safely, and how/where the raw materials are mined (see France wrt Niger). The article makes it out that this design improves safety so that’s good. I’m curious to look into how much it costs compared to the Westinghouse designed reactors that China is building (has built recently?) per kWh.
Honestly, reading your post and not knowing or seeing this apparently overt racism which you refer to, the first thought that comes to my head is, this is obviously a CIA or FBI agent. You mention purposely posting extreme strawman comments and then surprise pikachu facing when it’s upvoted. If I read a comment on here about mass sterilization of all white people, I might upvote it assuming it was a joke. And I’m white. Live in the imperial core. If you yourself are a privileged white person living in the imperial core, which I assume is so based on this post (although my money is still on you being a Fed), then maybe when you see a brown person genuinely calling for your death, then maybe you should stop and think about why they would think that. In the meantime, stop the leftist infighting and trying to sow division. Plus you explicitly say that Marxism is about “violent revolution”. I’m personally in favor of exploiting any means to enact my political agenda. I strongly favor non-violence largely as a self preservation tactic. And as has been the case in any revolution, the level of violence will be determined by the oppressive force.
Every dollar spent on the IRS brings in $5-9 in increased revenue by actually enforcing existing tax law. If this passes it will cost the American taxpayers between $71.5-128.7 billion dollars to blow up Palestinian children. That is what every lawmaker, and Biden if he signs it, is voting for. That much money could pay for free college for everyone currently enrolled for 1-2 years. Fuck Biden and this morally depraved genocidal government.
Once x86 macOS became stable around snow leopard I switched from Linux to macOS full time on my mobile machines. For years home brew was a shining light to get a decent tool chain installed to be able to do development. But somewhere around the time they changed to naming macOS releases after places in California, both home brew and macOS started changing in ways that made it harder to maintain a stable development environment. Why and when did it start deciding to upgrade every package I have installed when I try to install a new package? It regularly broke both mine and our developers’ machines and I finally had enough of both. Stay away from home brew if you want your working development environment to continue working 6 months later. It WILL break when you need it most and cost you hours if not days of work to fix. I’ve never ran home brew on Linux but it’s honestly not anything I would ever consider even when it worked well.
I live in a swing state and I will not be voting for Genocidal Joe next time around. I’ve always taken the approach that voting is the least we can do to try to bring about change in the world and have held my nose and voted for the “lesser of two evils” each and every time. But there is no greater evil in the world than supporting an actually existing genocide, both rhetorically and materially. I think libs don’t realize that Bernie, WAS the compromise and look at how much of a disappointment he has been on this issue. No more compromises, no more concessions, and we will not apologize
Two downvotes and no comments on a post titled “UN Child Rights Committee condemns killing of children in Gaza Strip”. I wonder why they don’t want to speak up and defend their position? Fucking scum
The decision to call the police was difficult for Bettersten. She did not trust them. In 2019, her 62-year-old brother died after a Jackson officer slammed him to the ground. The officer was convicted of manslaughter but is appealing.
Awesome
