This has less to do with the UK being backward in my opinion than it does with the fucking navy. Steeped in tradition to the point of ridiculousness, Navies cling to their traditions for good and bad reasons. Some of them save lives. Some are just pedantic to the point of absurdity. I always recall Kelly Johnson’s 15th rule for the Skunkworks - Johnson had a 15th rule that he passed on by word of mouth. According to the book “Skunk Works” the 15th rule is: “Starve before doing business with the damned Navy. They don’t know what the hell they want and will drive you up a wall before they break either your heart or a more exposed part of your anatomy.”
Protecting Saskatchewan from outside "threats" – including the federal government – was a major theme in the provincial government’s 2023 Speech from the Throne on Wednesday.
US too. Perhaps worldwide. Their backward bullshit not only threatens decent people who just might not look like them, but it’s also keeping us from addressing the climate crisis together worldwide.
yeah this way the troubles could last 50 years instead… thatcher was a hag but something tells me successfully assassinating her would have led to more problems not fewer.
I’m open to being wrong but you need to provide evidence to sway me, because I’ve used windows phones and developed for them when they were desperate to get games in their app store and it was wretched early on. like comically bad. so whatever firmed up over the years, please, enlighten me, I’m genuinely curious where they were years ahead.
very good point. the best use for that ewaste would be decent retreads for people who just need a phone and don’t care that it’s a few years from ‘latest and greatest’.
I dunno, gluing usb’s in a super sensitive environment like that is actually logical; on the disc drives - they could disable autoplay as well though removing or gluing them closed would be preferable. USB is just such an easy attack vector where the individual plugging it in may not have skills themselves - it might be easier to bribe cleaning folks for example - or inject a person into a cleaning team. Ideally they would attack multiple nodes of your target’s network via as many avenues as possible; which makes the network and vpn thing just silly indeed; perhaps they were waiting for someone to try something with excellent infosec / firewalls / traffic shaping. yeeeeah lol.
iirc they had to remove them after the Fellowship came out due to environmental impact concerns, rebuilt them for Return of the King’s ending, demolished them again, and then rebuilt them for the Hobbit, finally in a place that was accessible enough to maintain as a community but remote enough to match the film’s landscape.
Have the rules voted by the community, and moderators elected/impeached by its community.
lol so you want to increase the amount of work mods do and then vote them out when they do shit you don’t like.
here’s an idea: become a mod yourself. do the unpaid work of cleaning up the trash so other people can whine in entitled posts like this about how all the mods are trash. jfc
place your bets place your bets will it be a nazi, a klansman, a jihadist, death by cop (never discount the possibility) or just some other random murderer? AAAAAMERRRRRICA THE LAND OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY
I think you’d know something is off here a bit faster - evil sorcerer is filling the crypt with CO. You immediately will be unable to draw breath, there will be no oxygen in the air. Carbon Monoxide poisoning occurs when there’s still oxygen to breathe, it’s just got lots of CO… unlike Nitrogen when you can resperate and attempt to breath until you fall over dead, your lungs don’t want to take in CO. It won’t be gradual, there’s literally nothing to breathe.
posted-as-written the undead fucker has filled it’s lair with carbon monoxide. not tainted the air supply, not attempted to poison the player, the lich has FILLED it’s lair.
No torchy, no respiration and woozy falling asleep, this is open the door OH FUCK GASP DIE
The fuckwits brought their dress uniforms because they were told the war would be over in 3 days. Three days later they were stuck on highways broken down and getting plinked by Javelins. Bet those fancy duds came in handy lol.
prop making, sure, it’s a tangible creation you sanded painted etc…
oh I think you meant to type PROMPT making. Tell you what: type out your most beautiful prompt. Show me the art in great prompting. Please, I want to see this. Totally open to new ideas, blow my mind mate!
I just hope ‘prompt’ artists never forget the tools they’re using were built on a corpus of actual artists that were not allowed to opt-out or even compensated to build these tools. That really, really bothers me.
they’re different products. puting cs:go as a ‘beta’ of CS2 is asinine, taking it away w/o player agency is snide, and me having to explain this to you is pitiful.
it’s absolutely not the same product. one is called CS:GO the other is literally called CS2. They’re two different games with a shared asset pool. Gameplay between the two is not the same. Game modes aren’t the same. Fuck, they didn’t even port over the bots code.
I’ve been playing cs since 1.6, been on numerous raids of Al Queda, I was there when Harambe OD’d you little shitstain. Get fucked lol
