Life in itself is worthless. The only reason why life is valuable is because it is a canvas, a vessel through which you can find happiness, meaning and so on. This means that if yo…

The primary reason the Deaf community "hates on hearing aids" is mostly because it comes at the expense of sign language. If you're deaf and live in a Deaf community (i.e. with sig…

If we're going to extremes like that, airgapped networks aren't truly safe either

The joke is that he is pretending to be stuck in time 11 years ago, while we in 2024 know perfectly well what actually happened in 2016.

I think that the time between ban and new post, which is 100,018 hours, was less than the other user's claim about how long 100,000 hours is. In other words, if 100,018 = x, then 1…

This applies to the entire EU/EEA, too.

Getting a prescription for 90 pills instead of 100 would presumably raise suspicion.

On an airgapped network (if possible)

Calling it an RTS is a stretch. It's more of a 4X game. It has a low pace and combat isn't particularly important.

And dark mode! And tabs! I love notepad.exe of the future. What a time to be alive

This applies to the entire EEA, fortunately!

Don't know about JTRS specifically, but backpack type radios and their batteries are very heavy, so it's plausible. Weight is indeed a big issue for infantry, SOF, etc.

In absolute numbers, the US is the #1, but immigrants as percentage of population has the US as #65 (Canada #41). Still way higher than Russia or China. While a little over 15 % of…

Let's also not forget that only 538 people have actual voting rights in US presidential elections. It's mostly a formality, but one of many flaws in the US democracy.
