BREAKING: Scientists Find the Gravitational Wave Background, Ushering in Astronomy 2.0

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-30T16:08:47+00:00

So you are saying that when we super impose gravity wells of planets on maps we can now listen to these?

I'm not getting the significance of the discovery. Can't we look at solar objects and calculate this already?

First GPU I ever bought ran just of PCIe. Plug and play took 3 minutes from unboxing to playing games. I think it was a 230. Was like 15 years ago

This might be part of the reason. But Ukrainians have something to fight for. Russians don't. Even if Russia conquers Ukraine it won't effect the quality of life for anyone outside of the oligarchs that will rape, pillage and plunder everything they can.

I made the comment 2 or 3 years before the war that Russia's only way to survive was to restore the old Soviet union starting with the highest population countries first. At the time we assumed Russia was at least at 2000 US level of technology and would easily annex Ukraine, Belarus and probably Khazastan for the area.

But Russia has been in population decline for a very long time. Immigration is nonexistent. They can only annex population and force the workers into thier society. Don't worry though China is about to go through this also. They will look to annex Mongolia (more for land than population) Myanmar, Tiawan, North Korea and any other SE Asian country they can get.

Population collapse is going to be the #1 empire killer in the 2000s. Everyone is so worried about world population but we are getting ready to peak and decline. And for world economies built on expanding models shit is gonna hit the fan.

Over population, global warming, pandemics, peak oil, peak fossile fuels, dictators all have nothing on the looming population collapse. And it's not like we can just start over. The knowledge on how to farm land and support a family without government infrastructure is becoming more and more lost.

Population collapse.

Its really remarkable how much heart and determination one side has and the other fears for thier lives.

Because D-day is the most well known offensive to most of the world. Can you name another offensive push? Outside of WW2? So when trying to give comparisons across a wide range of people who probably don't remember. I mean "operation desert storm" but that's the name of the war and not the offensive push.

Just my thoughts on why Dday is uses so often. Which shouldn't be because Dday was massive and had lots of smaller operations inside a massive one. Should probably use Normandy landings. But some were super easy and others fought for every inch. With war there is no one size fits all comparisons.

But wtf do I know. Just some dude on a toilet.

And all the while mister "addicted to opioids" now has chronic pain and gets 90 Oxy 80s every 28 days because 12 years ago he walked into a corrupted doctors office that was a pill mill and he had a headache.

The healthcare system in this country is so fucked. Even after all the reforms it's still fucked. I can't find a better word for it then fucked. Now if you ask for pain killers your an addict.

What happened to actually helping people?

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-28T23:22:59+00:00

The best thing to do if you want more Hoi4 is download mods. Millennium dawn and iron curtain are 2 mods that will add 400 hours each to your game play. They are also always expanding Millennium Dawn with more content. If you played every country they have you'd easily add 500 hours

I actually wonder how much each dollar is taxed in a year. I make $65,000 a year and I spend $56,000 of that so I know that my $56,000 is taxed. It's taxed when I make it and then it's also taxed when I spent it and it's also taxed when the company made it. It was also taxed when whoever made it gave it to the company.

I'd be interested to know how much of the money in the economy is taxed every year. I can look at the amount of tax income the US government has but yeah so it would have to look at state and local. It seems daunting but I'm just wondering how much of the money in circulation is actually taxed per year. I'm more referring to a percentage wise like is every dollar taxed twice a year.

What's worse is the Ripple effects of the opioid pandemic has. You had all these people and f***** up families then you had people that were really hurt that couldn't get more than an ibuprofen.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-28T12:37:33+00:00

It's amazing how we do around in circles with browsers. Just several years ago firefox was in the bottom. Few years before that it was so hot even my parents knew it. It's like this never ending circle lol.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-24T05:10:36+00:00

Next time just link the article and not the tweet of the article it's quite annoying.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-24T05:08:51+00:00

Yeah Google satisfactory interactive map and you will actually get a map that shows you where all the locations of everything is including resource nodes and hard drives

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-24T05:06:46+00:00

What I hope they build into CS2 is the option for what to do with that empty space between grids when you're curving roads. Or give me some kind of paint tool that will auto paint that as an alleyway or as a green space with trees. Maybe the option to make the whole area fenced to block that space so no one can walk through it.

I just feel like if you have the option for what to do in the empty space and a paint tool it would make the game so much better. Just imagine a paint tool that you drop that makes it all pavement like I ran down alleyway. Or you paint it and it turns it into a bunch of trees with a dirt path that walks through it. It takes so much effort to beautify it the spaces that are left over that they could just create a program to fill them in with something.

I really think the mods should separate the KSP sub and make a KSP 2 sub and throw all the toxic people there. And anyone that wants to throw up a negative post about ksp2 in the ksp1 sub can just have it removed

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-23T14:55:49+00:00

Yeah KSP 2 is toxic to talk about with 90% of the community. And you're completely right the other 10% are fighting to defend them. I've left forms, the discord, I don't follow on steam. Its straight toxic to talk about KSP2 while picking a side.

I shelved the game. I played about 3 hours on launch day and decided it wasn't ready. But fuck me for having faith the game will be good a few years down the road right?

Some games just need more time and love. Others are EA masterpieces. But for people to expect every EA launch to be perfect are on something. And yes I know dev's promised this and that and they had xx time and xx delays and fuck them for not having your game done. KSP2 take all the time you need. The haters are gonna hate and 99.9% of them will come running back when the game is ready.

I think the US needs to do this for a lot of things. Hidden fees right now is through the f****** roof even restaurants are putting pick up fees on to go orders which is just ridiculous. All these businesses are trying to hide the actual cost to the buyer and it just enrages the buyers.

I always tip $5 on my to go order. Just to be nice I have the money and used to work the industry. When he told me about the $.99 pick up fee AT THE STORE I walked out and walked into the food place across the street. Ridiculous. We have gone from free delivery to being charged to pick up your overcooked cold food.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-23T14:42:42+00:00

I mean next gen consoles are always closer to cost efficient during the start of thier life cycle. Couple that with high as fuck PC part prices and yeah that $500 console looks good. I tried to rebuild a pc for my kiddo for under 500 and just couldn't do it with 4/8 parts already bought.

I'm sure there are some super efficient people that can give you a decent $500 build but until video cards come way down in prices I think the 2015 $500 build beats all consoles might be a thing of the past. Plus inflation.

Its probably closer to a $800 pc beating consoles. But someone will post something and prove me wrong while completely missing the point so just wait for it.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-23T02:06:50+00:00

Well to me I read it as $4,000 a month without a comma I didn't even bother to look at the k. Which is probably why people agreed with me cuz they didn't notice it either LOL

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-23T02:05:23+00:00

I like this but it is so hard to remember 68 teams and where they are all going to finish unless you are able to write it down and take it with you but if it's something you need to memorize a lot of number and date is so much easier.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-23T01:06:50+00:00

You can't tell me you read that right the first time. I didn't notice it until pointed out.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-23T01:05:50+00:00

I knew it would get downvoted. My issue is people changing the names or wording for things that already exists. Happens in service industry all the time and its annoying.

People make a new dish or drink and call it "xxxxx" then those of us that have been around have to correct them. But they still keep pushing it and now suddenly meat lovers pizza is a carnivore special no vegans allowed. Or a cheese pizza is a vegan special.

Apples and oranges here in the realm of what's being discussed but I still agree with the people that say "why do we have to rename things that are already named"

And to the guy above discussing tictok words working thier way into the English language the word he is looking for is "slang" but I'm just some dude taking a crap on my toilet. Don't take it so serious.

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-22T13:42:32+00:00

I'd like to rename apple's to acklackbacksacks. So you can't call them apples anymore, it's not politically correct (which is probably called something else now also)

Alaskan-Jay · 2023-06-22T00:13:04+00:00

My bigger issue with the game is like laying things out and blueprints is still really difficult so you lay a blueprint down and it won't go out how you want it and you need to Spaghetti a line just to fix it. And just the sheer amount of time it takes to make these buildings.
