I was gonna find a fun obscure trope to link to but then I looked up and an hour had passed

I thought it said Transformers and I was like "why do they avoid mirrors?"

They're pretty much the same. I think anarchist took Jolly Roger and expanded on it. Worth mentioning, don't actually do any of the stuff in there. The chemistry is suspect and the tech stuff is laughably outdated.

Zelda BotW and TotK are not fun. The stamina system is pointless and the weapon durability is frustrating. On top of that, the world's are just sooo empty. There's really nothing in them. Oh look, an interesting ruin... it's another repetitive shrine. Oh, that geological formation is really unique aaannnddd it's another fucking korok seed. That's all you ever got for exploring. Shrines and korok seeds.

I did like slapping random shit onto my weapons in tears of the kingdom though. All in all to me the games are fine but not really Zelda games.

I never understood the arguments people use surrounding daylight savings. The health risks, accident risks, any risks surround the actual switch, not really the what time is used. If the clocks were set forward for "summer time" then 3 months later Daylight savings was abolished and no one changes their clocks anymore (as you said, permanent summer time) there would be no ill effects from it cause everyone was already used to the time change.

I want to get rid of daylight savings. I don't care whether it's standard time that use used or daylight savings time that is used as long as the switchover stops happening.

I worked with a guy that was a hard-core conservative, like just shy or real far-right talking points. Anyway he told me he doesn't watch the news. Not that he only watches fox news, I mean he doesn't watch any news at all. He gets his information from Facebook and tiktok

I live in a very red part of Florida. They've all been pretty nice to me. Of course, I'm white, my baby is blonde haired and blue eyed, and I'm in the military. They usually get pretty surprised when I open my mouth and start spouting crazy commie stuff like Trans Rights are Human rights.

To be pedantic: Ethernet is a protocol so mentioning the medium used outside of a historical context is kinda irrelevant.

AmberPrince,
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn't add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.

I'm sure it's accurate and all, but it will be a cold day in hell when I click on an Inquirer link.

Edit: Nevermind. I mistook The Inquirer for the much less reputable The National Enquirer.

AmberPrince,
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

You know what? I was wrong. I mistook "The Inquirer" A Philadelphia based newspaper with "The National Enquirer" a tabloid rag that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. My bad.

What a wonderful website. All it needs is flames.gif and a link to a page that has little barricades on it that says "Under construction"

AmberPrince,

A pass key is the private key in a private/public key pair. The private key is stored in the TPM on your device. The website contains the public key. When you use your "one password" you're in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

What this means in practice is that if a website has a data breach they won't have your hashed password, only your public key which... is public. It doesn't and can't do anything on its own. It needs the private key, which again only you have and the website doesn't store, to do anything at all.

If you want to read more about it look into cryptographic key pairs. Pretty neat how they work.

Google app being flagged as a virus by Huawei phones (stackdiary.com)

I’m seeing a lot of reports from users of Huawei and Honor devices have reported that their phones are incorrectly identifying Google apps as Trojan malware, specifically labeled as TrojanSMS-PA. According to the alert, this “malicious software” has the ability to send SMS messages without user consent.

"Everyone I don't like is a Communist" The Nazi's guide to being GOP.

AmberPrince,
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

It's a pejorative term to describe authoritarian Chinese government apologists. Historically it was used to describe communist members that defended the use of tanks against civilians during a Hungary uprising.

AmberPrince,
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

Authoritarian apologists that pretend to be communists. You can find them in the wild typically talking about how great and strong the Chinese government is and how evil and corrupt the "US Imperials" are.

Historically the term was used to describe communist members that defended the use of tanks against civilians during an uprising idln Hungary, hence the name.

Not really. If they schedule oil changes every 6 months the mileage check is to see if they should also schedule like a transmission check so you don't have to keep coming back

I hated that article. I don't need all of the charged language or opinion. Here'sthe WSJ article if y'all want to read it of note, the WSJ isn't really making a determination here. Mostly just quoting out of touch executives and labor firms.

I'm all for work reform but how this comes back on the Wall Street Journal is beyond me.

Except using the popular vote means that States wouldn't decide who was president like they do now, the people would.

Under the current system if I vote Red in Chicago I just completely wasted my time. Cook County is so blue that I don't have a voice. Get rid of the Electoral College, however, and now my vote worth just as much as everyone elses.

People seem to think that if we moved away from the College that the population of a blue state will 100% vote blue or a red state will only have red votes. It's just not true. The northern half of California or the southern half Illinois votes way different than their counterparts.

The Electoral College is an outdated system designed for a time when the US had relatively low Literacy and the public couldn't be reliably counted on to be informed. There is no excuse for it nowadays.

AmberPrince,
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

Except nowhere is homogeneous. There are red voters that live in cities and there are blue voters that live in small farming towns. Right now they don't have a voice because they are separated into districts that are overwhelmingly red or blue
but get rid if the College and now suddenly your vote is worth just as much as your neighbors, regardless of where you live.

Ehhh... Doctors have a hell of a lot of administrative paperwork for each patient they have to do. That's where the actual time goes. At least for Emergency Department doctors. I can't speak to private practice docs.

What do you mean? The second Ammendment says "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." That's all there is to it. There isn't any other part of that Ammendment. It doesn't have a single other word as a part of it. Don't look it up.

Right, but what they are saying is that the relevant law does not address LGBT people either.

Cash bail disproportionately impacts communities of color. Illinois is the first state to abolish it (apnews.com)

But Illinois is about to overhaul the system that upended Ross’ life. Illinois’ Pretrial Fairness Act, which abolishes cash bail as a condition of pretrial release, will take effect Sept. 18, making Illinois the first state to end cash bail and a testing ground for whether — and how — it works on a large scale....

When Pritzker first got elected I was incredibly dubious. After all, we already had Trump as President and here is Pritzker, another hotel magnate, claiming he could do great things for Illinois. I have since been pretty impressed with everything he has done.

You are still drawing an equivalence between availability of information in America compared to Russia, implying they are equal. They are not and what you are doing is disingenuous.

More like territorial waters is 12 nautical miles for the coast so even if Taiwan was considered part of mainland China, the straight is like 90nm wide so a majority of it should be freely navigable by any ship. China doesn't think so and claims the entire thing as territorial waters.

I've worked on the base in Pensacola with the museum. Those places are specifically open to the public. Further on past the lighthouse and museum is another checkpoint preventing the public from entering the rest of the base.

How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...

Mom come pick me up. I'm scared.

I actually had this game pre-ordered a long while back but with the huge upheaval around the developer I canceled it. I haven't played any other games by this developer but I like the concept art. Still, I remain ever apprehensive.

I didn't watch the whole thing, just checked out the charts. It does not bode well for my 2080.

I also thought it was hyperbolic until I saw the source. Apnews, along with Reuters, are my gold standards for news. If they are reporting it then I believe it is very real and very serious.

I think you kind of missed the forest for the trees here. Those 20 command lines that run in the background will take the same amount of time to complete each task as manually entering them, sure. But the benefit is that you take less time to overall because I don't care how fast you are with typing, you still have to enter 20 commands instead of just the 4 buttons.
