  • instead of asking, "what tasks l have for the day ?" , is it better to ask, "What do l feel like doing now ?"

    Jump

  • No, it's better to have awareness of both. What needs to be done, how long it takes, and what dependencies exist. I feel like taking a nap, but I have work and house chores. So I'll take care of some small things that aren't too taxing while I drink coffee and regain some energy.

  • The Democrats Are Determined Not to Learn From Their Failure

    Jump

  • Failure? Pretty sure the oligarchy is getting exactly what they want.

  • Time for Open Source Community EV's to Be Made. Anybody want to do something like that?

    Jump

  • If I press the brake, it should brake. ABS systems work well, but otherwise there should not be any logic built into not braking when I want to brake. Add all the automation into braking for me if there is an imminent collision detected. Extra braking is good. Less braking than I have asked for is bad.

  • Best way to hook too many old consoles to a TV?

    Jump

  • Oh I get it completely, and I was banging my head against the wall looking for something that worked. Ultimately, some clean cable management and a few of those rubber cord grips were so much more functional than anything else I tried.

    Also remember that you'll need to automate those branching switches, and each one can add a bit of lag if they are digital.

  • As someone who briefly lived a similar dream, I wish someone had pointed out to me that you're still going to have to get your old bones up to get the wired controllers for those older consoles. I'd just keep the old school composite switch accessible so you can plug in whatever you want to play while you're grabbing the controllers and plugging in the cartridge. Then you just need an HDMI switcher, which could also be your surroud sound system (if you're spending money anyway...)

  • I wonder what sort of lag that would add. Digital converters always seem to make Mario jump slower.

  • With his war at a crucial moment, Trump is… repainting a pool

    Jump

  • I mean, maybe it's technically "darker" the literal sense, but any unfinished concrete is going to scatter light differently than glossy blue paint. And I don't have anything against cleaning and maintaining the pool. It's normal maintenance that has to happen every so often.

    But if this doesn't look tacky as shit and make it harder to see the reflection, I'll eat a hat.

  • With his war at a crucial moment, Trump is… repainting a pool

    Jump

  • A reflecting pool needs to be dark on the bottom. If it's bright blue, too much light bounces off the bottom and overwhelms the reflection.

    Literally nothing Trump does isn't fucking stupid and wasteful.

    Hold up, can we squeeze some division in there to make it clear we're not one nation?

  • EXCLUSIVE: State Dept. Finalizing Plan to Put Trump Picture on U.S. Passports

    Jump

  • It's part of the firehose of bullshit. Every small thing he can do to irritate his critics is a victory, because you have to commit bandwidth to shutting down this bullshit.

    He doesn't actually care if he is successful in 90% of his schemes, as long it distracts people from all the thieving and the raping.

  • How else do you think they stay on?

  • How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him?

    Jump

  • Among Greeks, if you say Alexandros (or Philip for that matter) then people will know who you are talking about. But basically, those names are still in use. Caesar became the word for leaders rather than a name, and it's relatively rare as a first name.

    Charlemagne is actually Charles le magne which means Charles the Great. If you called him "King Charles" you'd need to be much more specific.

    I can't speak for Attila, because I don't know if the name is popular in any particular cultures. Certainly in the USA, the Hun king is the most famous Attila.

    Slim Shady is an interesting example, because its's basically branding for Marshall Mathers aka Eminem. One of his first widespread hits was a song essentially saying that he's the only real Slim Shady, and anyone else using that nickname is a copycat poser.

    YSK that after russians diplomats were taken hostage in Lebanon. The KGB sent a rescue team. They identified the hostage takers. Then the KGB kidnapped their family members and tortured them

  • Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship

    Jump

  • As was intended. Fascists see the brain drain as a victory, because stupid masses are easier to control.

    Not that I'm criticizing the educators who leave. They are being forced out, and it's entirely reasonable to abandon Texas.

  • I wonder what ever happened to that manhole that got shot up by a nuclear explosion.

    Jump

  • Yes, that's why most people believe it vaporized completely.

  • I wonder what ever happened to that manhole that got shot up by a nuclear explosion.

    Jump

  • Anything that wasn't vaporized was likely launched out into space at speeds exceeding escape velocity for Earth's gravitational field by aat least a factor of 6. So if there was anything left after the explosion and wind friction, it's out in space, probably moving towards the sun.

    The best part of that story is that the engineer on the project initially rejected the metal cap, because he knew it would not do anything to contain the blast. His supervisor overruled him, and insisted they install the cap. The engineer complied, but also ensured a high speed camera was trained on the cap to capture just how spectacularly stupid his manager was.

  • Facebook and Instagram Tighten Censorship Rules for Saying “Antifa”

    Jump

  • From Wikipedia,

    The English word antifa is a loanword from the German Antifa, where it is a shortened form of the word antifaschistisch ("anti-fascist") and a nickname of Antifaschistische Aktion (1932–1933), a short-lived group which inspired the wider antifa movement in Germany.[43][44][45] The German word Antifa first appeared in 1930. The long form antifaschistisch was borrowed from the original Italian anti-Fascisti ("anti-fascists").[43

    ...

    In 2007, Rose City Antifa, likely the first group to utilize the name antifa, was formed in Portland, Oregon by former ARA members.[81][5][82] Other antifa groups in the United States have other genealogies. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a group called the Baldies was formed in 1987 with the intent to fight neo-Nazi groups directly.[61] In 2013, the "most radical" chapters of ARA formed the Torch Antifa Network,[83] which has chapters throughout the United States.[84] Other antifa groups are a part of different associations such as NYC Antifa or operate independently.[85]

    ...

    The American antifa movement grew after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States in 2016. Antifa activists' actions have since received support and criticism from various organizations and pundits. Some on the political left and some civil rights organizations criticize antifa's willingness to adopt violent tactics, which they describe as counterproductive and dangerous, arguing that these tactics embolden the political right and their allies.[13] Both Democratic and Republican politicians have condemned violence from antifa.[14][15][16][17] Many right-wing politicians and groups have characterized antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, or use antifa as a catch-all term,[18] which they adopt for any left-leaning or liberal protest actions.[19] According to some scholars, antifa is a legitimate response to the rise of the far right.[20][21] Scholars tend to reject an equivalence between antifa and right-wing extremism.[2][22][23] Some research suggests that most antifa action is nonviolent.[24][25][26]
