Hotspur, to worldnews in US nuclear sub offers show of force in the Middle East

From another article I read, this is a nuclear-powered sub, that is one of a handful that has been retrofitted from ballistic middle duty to cruise missles. So basically it’s a cruise missle platform. The headline is playing a little fast and loose for effect.

Also worth considering that subs that launch nukes are assumed to be out, patrolling in enough areas to ensure last-word MAD deterrence, so you can just assume that US nuke-launching subs are already able to strike most major population centers and don’t need or want to broadcast their specific location (unless, like, a very intelligent former president specifically puts their location on a new broadcast for clout)

Hotspur, to outoftheloop in What'd up with all the ich_lel fish/sturgeon memes?

Been wondering this same thing.

Hotspur, to nottheonion in Croc sex frenzy: Low-flying army choppers spark romp in the swamp

The authors really approached the subject with vigor—highly enjoyable prose style.

Hotspur, to technology in VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it

I’m in a similar boat. The use case where I really would use it regularly, simming, is hamstrung by two things. One, it’s so damn fiddly and laborious doing settings non stop to make it playable, and two, even if I get the settings right—I start noticing weird crap with my eyes after a couple sessions. Like you end up basically crossing your eyes all the time inside the visor, and I’ll notice fatigue/trouble focusing after using it a lot, what I would imagine it feels like to have a bad prescription or something (don’t personally have glasses).

And as you say, it’s bloody uncomfortable. Something like big screen beyond with good AR/passthrough would go a long way to fixing that I guess.

Hotspur, to mensliberation in Why Are Women Freezing Their Eggs? Look to the Men. - "A new book explores the 'mating gap' and why women are struggling to find a male co-parent."

Haven’t read this yet. And I’m sure there’s plenty of men who are unwilling to be parents or who are crap partners.

But let’s be real; this is the Atlantic. So instead of covering the real systemic issue: the world is on fire and every bit of labor and value is being squeezed to its last drop to fill the dead coffers of the rentier elite, it’s gonna be: why we don’t got more kids? Men.

It’s not about women being free to pursue jobs, or men being toxic. If society is not producing offspring, en masse, it’s because society sucks. My hot take.

Hotspur, to fdroid in Any weather apps that use the NOAA api?

This app rules. It’s also on iOS for Apple users. It has the basics you want, and loads of extras. Still learning how ti use it.

Hotspur, to technology in Debloat / Setup script for windows 11

Well I see the comment, if that helps.

Hotspur, to piracy in Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

As a Linux Uber-amateur, it feels like we’re basically able to do anything I would want to do on Linux now… the thing where Microsoft tries to not allow you to download stuff because they haven’t paid Microsoft to sign it has always annoyed me. This would be the next level of nope.

One thing that’s kept me on the fence is I like multiplayer games, and I had always heard that battle eye didn’t work on Linux, but with all the proton development and steam deck interest, perhaps this is becoming a non issue?
