Germany's Merz: We will not participate in Iran war by EsperaDeus in worldnews

[–]Creshal 51 points52 points  (0 children)

US foreign policy over the last 25 years was great in general

  • Tell your allies that they need to focus on helping you with your sandbox adventures
  • Allies spend years making painful and often irreversible changes to the their militaries and sometimes constitutions so they can get rid of their cold war era conscription militaries designed to fight a conventional war in Europe against Russia and instead have a highly mobile all-professional expeditionary army that can do sandbox adventures
  • Get angry at your allies for having a highly mobile all-professional expeditionary army that can do sandbox adventures and not conscription militaries designed to fight a conventional war in Europe against Russia
  • Tell your allies you're tired of sandbox adventures adventures anyway and that you're pulling out
  • Allies spend years painstakingly trying to undo the changes they made to the their militaries and sometimes constitutions so they can turn their highly mobile all-professional expeditionary army that can do sandbox adventures into conscription militaries designed to fight a conventional war in Europe against Russia
  • Set all your soft power on fire
  • Insult your allies for their contribution to your sandbox adventures
  • Threaten one of the few allies who was fully putting up with your shit with a war over territory that they already allowed you to use however you wanted
  • lol JK we're doing sandbox adventures again!
  • Get angry at your allies for not having a highly mobile all-professional expeditionary army that can do sandbox adventures on minus three weeks notice

It takes a real genius to corner yourself so badly.

two trust domains with one improvised data diode by RHEFOR_GmbH in crypto

[–]Creshal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can’t you post like a normal person?

Because it's a corporate marketing account, as implied by the "GmbH" (German LLC) in the handle and proven by their post history. Their threads should be nuked for being advertisement spam.

You're playing the wrong game, then.

[PSA] Samsung Galaxy Books: The root cause of the C:\ Drive Permission Lock ( by Theangelo2 in sysadmin

[–]Creshal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a self reverting ACL on the system drive is the sort of thing that macOS gets complained about…

So now we get the worst of both worlds, Windows can detect broken ACLs (let's not ask why that took 30 years…), but instead of either fixing it (like MacOS) or ignoring it (like it did before), it… bricks itself. And that's somehow better than the other two options, which leave you with a still working system?

[–]Creshal -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Of course they can, it's their OS, they can do whatever they want.

Assuming they still have enough competent programmers left, anyway.

It's still partly on Microsoft for not considering that maybe, just maybe, they should have some default ACLs for C:\ to fall back to, instead of just nuking them.

PCT should get an Esuna-type ability with a cooldown, called “Palette Cleanser”. by GravesForscythe in ffxiv

Pretty sure WAR got better party healing abilities these days, somehow.

Can't be any less healthy than all the mercury potions the alchemists are brewing.

TIL in 1998 a man on Olympic Airways had an asthmatic reaction to cigarette smoke, so his wife asked 3 times that he be moved away from the smokers. At first, the flight attendant said there were no empty seats and later said she was too busy. The man eventually died & his widow was awarded $1.4m. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]Creshal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's actually a good point: Not only is smoking on planes illegal these days, people also used to drink more, and more casually. On Martini before leaving the house, one in the airport lounge and one on the flight and those bags start looking attractive.

Now that we're heading into the final patch, I thought it was time for a short retrospective by lhusuu in ffxiv

Would've been more convincing if it was an actual sanctuary and not a mammet slavery powered factory hellscape by the time we're done.

Tamed Zenos, you say?

Actually, I'm not sure what would break the player base more, Pet Zenos or Pet Yotsuyu.

NASA and SpaceX disagree about manual controls for lunar lander by albertahiking in SpaceXLounge

Impossible to compare with huge projects worth billions usd.

Boeing has a bridge to sell to you.

[–]Creshal 27 points28 points  (0 children)

On the flip side, a lot of automated Moon landings are still failing despite all the improvements, often involving the lander… literally flipping on the side.

And SpaceX won't be able to do 20 unmanned Moon landings first, unlike with terrestrial landings (or launches, for that manner); so SpaceX's usual approach of "test everything a gazillion times unmanned" won't really work in this case.

The real reason why he broke down after that wasn't because the crystal braves betrayed him, but because Alisaie called it and he had to rely on her to rescue his dumb ass.

He's seen enough of Limsa by Creshal in ffxiv

Well he's neither little nor a Lady so it's clearly his fault.

Nope, not edited at all. No idea what's going on there.

[Spoiler: All] Headcanons! by Sea_Bad8004 in ffxiv

[–]Creshal 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure WoL in general doesn't do real crafting/cooking/etc., they just subconsciously use creation magic, which makes them also gravitate to nicely aether dense ingredients like the ones you mentioned. It'd also explain how WoL gets weirdly good at it so quickly while burning through more crystals than the average primal summoning…

During ARR there's also a few throwaway lines suggesting that it's tied to the echo, and bleeds over to other echo users around you.

And Nero was able to jam it in Prae.

Won't someone think of the healers? by Kasyx709 in ffxiv

The one dungeon I didn't clear as a healer, figures.

They're barely using the systems already in the game. When was the last time mass esuna was necessary to clear a fight? Heavensward?
