He was a Maiar of Aulë, which was the Vala of Crafting, so prodigy is probably underselling it. As a side note, considering what happened with both Saruman and Sauron, I would say Aulë was probably a very shitty boss.

Regarding 12 and 17: …wikipedia.org/…/List_of_countries_by_average_ann…

The problem with Southern Europe is not lazy people, it’s unqualified bosses.

jmcs,

The Vulcan Science Directorate dogmatic views are not logical, and proves that Vulcans are full of shit when they claim to be ruled by logic. In reality their main driver is fear (even that’s what drives them to try to suppress their emotions).

jmcs,

Taiwan didn’t even recognize Mongolia’s independence until 2002. Good luck getting the KMT to accept Tibet’s or Uyghurstan’s independence.

jmcs,

My personal bet is they’ll go for Outer Manchuria. They still see the treaty of Aigun as an unequal treaty and as things stand the international community wouldn’t even bother writing a strongly worded letter if they decided to rectify it.

jmcs,

Nvidia reportedly told AIB partners to prioritize sending a large number to the country.

Of course they did.

jmcs,

Someone that volunteers to actively support a war of aggression is really pushing the boundary of “civilian”.

Gaming industry: glad you enjoyed it. Here’s 20 more Gollums/King Kongs/ Walking Deads.

jmcs,

RoboCop and Gollum are published by Nacon. Walking Dead and King Kong are published by Game Mill. They have very similar strategies to adapting third party franchises.

jmcs,

Do you need to Rewind? Pay $4.99. Don’t want to? Well, enjoy the beginning of the game again.

So, there are around 60000 merchant vessels, and 4 million fishing vessels. If we line them up aft to prow and make the height differences work somehow, assuming an average of 100 meters for the merchant vessels and 25m for the fishing vessels this would allow us to cover around 16000km of the equator, which would leave 12000km of open water. So, if my sources are not too wrong, and if I didn’t fuck up the calculations, around 7.5 million people would die. Less if you sent the people with the biggest arm span to the open water. I say it would be worth it. this would allow us to make floating bridges over the ocean for every one.

Edit: I forgot 1 zero. No one needs to die.

You can configure your Gmail account to forward emails to your new account and then update your contact information gradually. That’s what I did when I moved out years ago and I know it’s still working, because now and then my Gmail account still receives some spam that Google helpfully forwards to me.

jmcs,

You can configure your Gmail account to forward your emails to Proton. It’s under the “Forwarding” tab in the settings. You need to login once in a while to keep the account alive, but if you use any other Google service that’s easy.

jmcs,

Conservative is not the same as pro-free-market. Most fascists are outright reactionaries and a key feature of fascism is being against free market capitalism - historically fascism has presented itself as opposed both to capitalism and socialism.

jmcs,

Star Trek TNG had a Space Loki on steroids driving key points of the plot so what’s the issue with a Space Yggrasil? Star Trek was never supposed to be hard sci-fi in the first place.

Concepts inspired by the idea of the World Tree are also common in other sci-fi works.

jmcs,

Interviewer: what are your weaknesses?

Candidate: I’m really bad at not breaking non-disclosure agreements.

jmcs,

They pinky swore that they wouldn’t look.

jmcs,

Why would your password be *******************?

jmcs,

It depends on what you need. I think usually you can get the best bang for buck by buying the now previous generation when the new one is released.

jmcs,

So, they went to the trouble of keeping a different set of functionalities just for Europe instead of unshittifying Windows for everyone. Wow.

jmcs,

Don’t worry they will release a $70 upgrade that tones it down soon.

jmcs,

As far as Berlin is concerned, this is the experience in the U8 at any time of the day.

jmcs,

This means they are going to open borders so people actually have a place to go, right? Right? (Insert Anakin and Padme meme)

jmcs,

I wouldn’t even go that far. People are not taking a pair of scissors to every printed newspaper and even vandalism of outdoor ads is minimal, so it’s not that people hate ads in general, they mostly hate intrusive and distracting ads which is only made worse when tracking makes it feel more like stalking than advertisement. TLDR: people don’t hate ads, they hate Google Ads.

jmcs,

Reducing the economic viability of public services is really sticking it to the man. /S

What car company does he work for?

jmcs,

He directed The City on the Edge of Forever he just couldn’t take credit to preserve the timeline.

EDIT: And if you look carefully the Guardian of Forever construct is obviously Jeffrey Combs, though his voice was dubbed over.

jmcs,

I’m fully convinced that Frakes directing is the only thing that prevented First Contact and Insurrection from being the dumpster fire that Nemesis was.

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

jmcs,

Ironically, despite Apple’s whining to get to this point, between this, and the EU forcing them to adopt USB-C, and, hopefully 3rd party stores and browsers, I may consider an iPhone for my next phone.

It’s a pity you almost need to point a gun to their head for them to consider unshittifing their products.

jmcs,

Because usually presidents are heads of state and heads of government that are only heads of government are usually prime ministers or chancellors. Spain just had to be funny about it.

jmcs,

Yes, in 1977 they gave an amnesty to mass murderers and torturers. And PP still goes out of their way to defend their legacy. Can you imagine that?

jmcs, (edited )

You forgot that it would be like if Democrats had their own culture and language for centuries, had been integrated in the country by force, saw centuries of attempted cultural genocide, including at points from being forbidden from using their own names or speaking their own language in public, and even after the country becoming a democracy being forced to allow the Republican barbaric practices. Oh, and when a democratic majority tried to make the country work on a more federal model, the army rebelled, allied with the literal Nazis, committed unspeakable crimes, ruled the country with iron fist for decades, got an amnesty for all those crimes when they lost power, and the Republican’s would still insist on keeping statues and place names named after them (well Democrats can easily imagine the last one, some aspects of fascism never change)

Yes, that’s always the excuse of the invader. The truth is that, today, there’s one country with 2 official languages and a Turkish occupation authority cosplaying as a country that only has 1.

jmcs,

You need a BD-R disc and if you want most blu-ray players to read it you need an app that can author either the BDAV (simple menus and video) or BDMV (what commercial movies use) structure depending on what you need. AFAIK not all blu-ray players accept BDMV in BD-R because of piracy concerns.

jmcs, (edited )

What pisses me off is that no one is challenging the fascist cretins about their continued support for the 1977 amnesty law.

They should be put on the record defending that organizing an illegal referendum is worse than murdering tens of thousands of people.

Would it make sense to have #CashAwarenessMonth

Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn’t be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs....

jmcs,

Dude, I grew up in a rural area, people living there are the ones that need more awareness of mental health issues. Just because someone isn’t diagnosed and under proper treatment doesn’t mean they aren’t ill.

jmcs,

Ah yeah, an enlightened centrist meme, coming directly from the deranged minds that think trying to take the middle road when one the sides is blatantly against human rights is a moderate position.

jmcs,

If what the article says is true, then Ukrainian citizens working outside the chain of command committed a criminal act on the EEZ of two European countries. Nothing more, nothing less.

On top of that, military operatives going against the wishes of their commander-in-chief and hiding their actions from him wouldn’t be an act of war, it would be an act of treason (against Ukraine in this case).

jmcs,

Not exactly news, but he is an homophobic misogynist who systematically sexually harassed actresses in particular and harassed all workers around him in general. And on top of that he’s responsible for Star Trek Enterprise’s intro.

jmcs,

Irresponsible farmers figured out they can scare the EPP and half of PES into submission by voting for Nazis when they aren’t allowed to sell out their children’s and grandchildren’s futures, so guess.

jmcs,

I think people from the Russian side are also going to be in deep shit. They basically just told everyone that Russian industry is such a joke they had to buy sportswear from a country they are at war with.

jmcs,

Yes you can. I keep mine in the oven.

Why delete unused code and assets or optimize anything when your player base built their personality around your game? They will buy a 3rd SSD at the same time they buy the same game for the 4th time.

jmcs,

Of course, everyone knows you start development of a new game from the code base of the previous, but you aren’t allowed to change or delete any of the old code, you need to copy paste the functions and append a version number. It’s called version control.

jmcs,

It’s still the worst Star Trek Intro by far, and it sticks out as a sore thumb.

jmcs,

Since there are already two sides trying to genocide each other, I believe that King Solomon would wholeheartedly approve this compromise solution (the twist is, whoever starts packing up first keeps the land)

jmcs,

Oh no, who will promote domestic violence violence against men that … . That’s not a feminist publication, it’s a mirror version of the “manosphere” garbage.

jmcs,

0 self awareness. I wonder what they would say if German truckers did the same to them.
