This is cool but I also want to take this opportunity to point out SUPARCO started as a prestigious NASA partner that eventually devolved into yet another army staffed office whose only purpose is to collect a paycheck and inhibit any actual growth.

ie they could easily just choose literally anyone to be the astronaut since Pakistan axed it’s space program decades ago.

At this rate I fully expect the democrats to fumble the midterm elections which should be literally the easiest campaign in decades.

I was surprised that bands of 20s could add up, but then I remember how you can fit a million dollars in a suitcase with 100s lol

Same boat as many Gapps like Google Maps. No large market competitor to show users how much better it can be.

Onion chose literally the most inopportune time to revive itself, their poor writers have been working constant overtime to stay ahead of reality lol. Trump already outdid his first 4 year term in only a couple of months.

Actually I did use to watch it quite often.

My point was not that it dropped in quality, it’s just that it became slow to keep up with ongoing events with details and information readily available via basic OSINT on primary sources or even regular quality news outlets.

Ex: https://youtu.be/dRRJmOTCqqQ

Pretty much everything presented in this report was already well known and available for months, making the the rest essentially a PR moneyshot for the US Navy.

I still watch it occasionally for its direct interviews with select people, but it’s still a legacy production that struggles to keep up with info you can get even from AP or Reuters.

Mind you it’s still miles better than flaming trash like Washington Post or NYT, but I could easily see CBS axeing it years ago.

I mean tbf people have been calling 60 minutes a legacy production of the bygone era of quality journalism for years now.

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.

Here is an example of a successful third party in a 2 party FPTP voting system that people keep insisting is impossible in the US because “muh RCV required”

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.

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.

Higher chance he dies from a lightning strike inside his palace lmao

No no IT Crowd is a show about sysadmins, not geeks lol. There’s a very clear difference.

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.

This is old but you can find the video of the parrot on youtube: https://youtu.be/k-bXN51DJ5E

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

Compiz, Wayfire, and KWin all outshine both Windows and MacOS in quality and render performance.

The amount of visual magic in Compiz and Wayfire especially is both incredibly useful but also hilarious.

3D desktop cube is a great way to handle multiple desktops, but rotating your windows to any angle is just to show off to your friends lol.

I swear the only 3 countries I’ve heard scream about being secular are France, Israel, and India, all of which are exactly the opposite because the government is exclusively following a religious doctrine and cracking down on minorities as well as anyone not a part of that national religion.

The same person who frustratingly joked about why the US can’t drone bomb foreign nationals to solve a whistleblower problem.
