American conservatives have always been jealous of Iran for living the life they want: a crushing theocratic regime who punishes everyone except for an elite clique.
It’s a way of making anyone except for a specific culture of people feel uncomfortable. “You can come work here but you won’t like it so don’t try” is the message they are using instead of “we are racist and understand it’s distasteful to say it openly” but it produces the same effect.
The cool metal didn’t move at first when his finger tipped the trigger. Taking a breathe, the Lorax exhaled, “I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.” The sound of a lumber executive falling had no sound.
Do buddhist monks practice escapism or have they grasped a divine truth about life and the evolution of the soul for a world beyond what we presume to be reality?
They have accepted the existential crisis that is life and realized there is no point, no ultimate goal to work towards that is identical for each person, there is nothing divine - we are all here because we are each lucky enough to exist.
Just switched from Plex… but might be going back lol. Http:/localhost :8097 works on my PC where my JF server is hosted. But I can’t connect on any other devices on the same network. What I have tried:...
You don’t need to put in the effort to hide those IPs. An IP starting with 192.168 is a private network and virtually useless as any way to compromise your network - an outsider would need access to your network (via your modems public facing IP) and know the device access credentials to make any use of the IPs.
That being said, it appears your input devices are unable to connect because they can’t be found. That means a mismatch in network details somewhere. Check the IP address and confirm it’s using the same subject; does the device connecting use the same 192.168.1.x network as the input/source device?
Mozilla is bleeding and its attempts to appeal to Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. It won’t fool remaining users of Firefox; many Firefox users will leave (in droves), seeing that Mozilla is not what it publicly claims to be.
Being honest doesn’t mean telegraphing every impulse to the surface and acting on it. A toddler does that and it’s considered bratty, a behavior to be corrected.
Being IRL means having immediate feedback on our actions. No extended diatribes using cut outs of their speech. No linking to articles to convince a person. It becomes a test of the social abilities of each individual and how well they can listen and speak. It flexes different skills than reading and writing.
Try to buy from a salesman in person vs online to see the difference. IRL is vastly different from online. IRL also has the added effect of “fuck around, find out” with no down time. If you say something distasteful then you learn about it before you’re done talking by the expressions and reactions of those around you. Acting like you have been is a quick ticket to lonersville, which is probably why you’re so angry at the idea that IRL is different from online. Get out and talk to strangers. See how they react to your need to interrupt, dissect, and “win” when they werent arguing. People want to share information, not stand atop some invisible social pyramid.
The entire video is based on the flawed idea that public transportation has the thorough coverage of rural and suburban regions that would allow it to replace cars. This video was made for city dwellers and ignores the plight of the few who grew up in remote areas and don’t have the finances to move. It essentially says “let’s make life tough for those who are already limited.”

You can speak concisely, or prefer concise writing, but not quite with concision. I prefer conciseness? Conciquity? Concisement? Why is there no noun for this word??
The US should nationalize Starlink. If private business decisions are going to undermine world stability then those decisions are antithetical to any kind of peace and need to be treated as the threat that they are. A single person picking sides shouldn’t result in a casual body count that Elon never is punished for but it now does and he looks to be getting away with actual manslaughter.

It’s probably implied somewhere that the KT asteroid was part of their life seeding program that started by eliminating predominant species. They would most likely look for the right conditions on a random planet to support life and then inject the biosphere with their creation.
Lol, what can the Chinese make that is current with American and Korean designs? Taiwan is #1 chip maker in the world and it isn’t the same Chinese as the mainland. The best die sizes the mainland can muster is 10nm, which was 3 generations ago by Intel/AMD standards.
And what company in China can make 7nm? Huawei outsources it’s chip fab to SMIC now that TSMC gave them the boot. SMIC can’t make anything smaller than 7nm but scaling it for them is hard because their process doesn’t use EUV and other next gen western techniques. China is starting from behind and has no chance of catch up because they don’t have the tech or knowledge for how to build it.
I live in a big city in the center. When i activate “Show bluetooth devices without names” in the developer settings of my android 13 phone, there appear loads of this devices. I have no clue what they are. Does anyone know? Are that the bluetooth nanobots of the vaxxinated people? (/s to last question!)
Bluetooth personal networks have been a thing for about a decade and are used for monitoring traffic density and flow by third party companies. It’s partly why Apple was removing their aux ports and pushing for Bluetooth so much, they are making money with tracking their statistically significant user base. Google does it too and it’s most readily evident with Maps traffic filter.
If you’ve wondered why enabling Bluetooth asked for iPhone location to be enabled, now you know.
You’re right that Bluetooth has been around since 89 but the idea of a personal area network that tracks the movements of a user is a relatively fresh idea. In fact third party data resellers that track you didn’t really exist until after 2006. It’s unique to cell phone data being recognized as basically an analog for an individual, which shows all kinds of data. Did a display catch someone’s attention? We’ll know because of a longer than usual time in front of the display. That display now has an impact rating - not to see how durable it is to dropping but how much attention, how long, and how likely it is to attract attention.
Want to know something even crazier? That duration of stay can be paired to your phone’s metadata and compared to other interests that phone has seen on social media and web pages (via cookies). So now that display can have personality types and interests linked to it. They will know the types of person who will be attracted and it makes the data a gold mine for advertisers.

You’re thinking of Reagan testifying before Congress about Iran Contra.
It worked for Karl Rove and Dick Cheney when they talked about vote manipulation in 2004.
It was also the only way Spiro Agnew got through his corruption hearing in front of Congress while Nixon tried to do the same for Watergate until the taped conversations were released.
It’s a time tested conservative play when confronted by a request to tell the truth: don’t lie but deny the allegations. Weirdly, I can’t find any time a democrat, Hilary or otherwise, repeated “I don’t recall” for their entire testimony. It just seems to be a conservative play.
Tommy Shane Steiner, a mostly retired country singer, has been flying and landing his private helicopter at an Austin shopping center to “ward off” people who he said were breaking into businesses.
That dude hasn’t sung in 20+ years. Is it really true to say he’s still a somewhat active singer if he hasn’t been carried by a label or toured in multiple decades?
He’s a Texan who found a worse way to travel than an oversized pickup truck.

This feels like Bethesda wasn’t going to include any next gen graphics options until AMD dumped a bunch of money on them and said “FSR!” Intel may take them up on this but nVidia can be very divisive with their support and won’t touch a game AMD is supporting so openly.
Micron is also an OG memory inventor and still makes some crazy innovations in storage space. Crucial is their performance brand and it’s leagues better than recent Samsung.

I’m glad we could find consensus; as you confirm barter has been around longer than money (or the time it takes to build the relationship required to trust currency exchange) and it can be used where money isused too.
Yours builds on the idea, which is fine. But the point is that The Federation doesn’t need money - the gold pressed latinum is where they explore currency and seems to be missed by OP.
