Among The Thugs!! Read it!! Some of the best literature of the late 20th century. Hunter S mixed with David Foster Wallace mixed mixed with Tom Wolfe.

Great writeup! Vividly remember this being a thing especially in multiplayer. What was that janky match matching service, MSN something? Also a really underrated game, the mechanic…

Even if the peace holds the whole thing feels like a definite L for the following reasons: Materiel - a huge amount of expensive and long lead time to replace missiles/interceptors…

Oh come on Jump, how can you deny it's not shady? I could kind of agree with the argument that "well these companies stay private longer so they are more mature" but the float exem…

Something definitely seems rotten in The Kingdom of Denmark with respect to the price of oil but I guess the market knows best. What that knowledge is, I don't know. If anything it…

Feels more like: can the bond market handle any potential outflows as money is rotated into these IPOs?

How can this ever be approved? Under the unitary executive theory he was suing and is now settling with himself.

IIRC Israeli special forces knocked out almost all of Iran's advanced radar systems last summer right before the nuclear program strikes so to say the F35 dominated is somewhat dis…

Damaged is an understatement, its aft section was completely destroyed and the plane is in two pieces. We only have like 20 E-3s, half of them can't even fly at any given time, and…

This feels like a misleading ratio, it's just saying the cost is the same in per capita terms but says nothing about the absolute cost or more importantly cost as a percentage of i…

It's not guaranteed to be the same outcome in Iran, we're just rolling the dice again and hoping it is.

What is the mechanism which turns these assemblies to do work and move/pull/push something? The inner screw is rotated by a motor, which causes the planetary roller system assembly…

Yeah really does show you how it's now (actually for some time) just a label, conveniently morphing over time for people/groups you don't like, losing any actual meaning because it…

1000%, crazy to look back on spring and summer of 2020 and if he just played it cool and not rocked the boat so much, no doubt he would have been reelected. Not that I agree with m…

Also friendlies for the record the person I was responding to mentioned millions of settings, which while hyperbolic, you and I know means just hard to find so please share all fis…

Having fished I have found the fish hard to catch so thought I would ask from another fisher.

Can you expand on this? For example details on any tools to do this. I've been trying to disable features I know use resources and aren't needed but the native UIs to do it are hel…

What's the inside angle on admitting liability like this? Keep it out of the courts and therefore no discovery and depositions that become public record?

Huh? Why, that makes no sense. But seriously, if a comma is used it would be more like: Nearby to a Netherlands' military base, known to store US nuclear weapons, suspicious drones…

Stuff like this was kind of necessary on those early generation iPods, they had mechanical spinning disks. I remember dropping mine and hearing the click from the busted disk :/

Huh? Even if the farmer could save 100% of that daily $2 earning it's still 60 days worth of wages, which while not exactly $1,000,000, is still a lot for the the farmer.

I am convinced MS has code in Windows which looks for de-bloating and then purposely slows things down. Or the code base has gotten to the point where things are so entangled that …

Green account myself, it's an older code, sir, but it checks out.

Traditionally, defending a currency ends up with more defending of the currency. So best of luck to thee messieurs Bessent and Milei.

I haven't dug into this too much but the last time I set up a Windows 11 PC, I created a junk MS account, moved through the setup flow, created a local admin account once Windows 1…
