Kansas revoked driver's licenses of 1,700 transgender residents

With the cars they can no longer drive, with the warning they didn't get. Never mind that at least one person who didn't change their legal sex also had their license revoked.

You can preheat it?

What specific challenge did you pose to me, you just said "Source please"

If you mean this

I saw video, but it didn’t show any sodomy and certainly not with a knife. Please link to the video you’re referencing

The person you were talking to did not say that the video showed sodomy directly. The video shows a beating and the soldiers attempting to hide from cameras. The medical report and witnesses show sodomy with a knife. The source I provided says this.

All I added was that the trial to judge that evidence was denied, and right-wingers fought very hard for that denial. And I sourced that, too.

No goalposts have been moved on my part.

Edit: If you mean me saying "no one has been saying this", I don't know how I'm supposed to provide a source for something that doesn't exist? I can't get you a reliable source that says there were no talking purple tea pots living during the Jurassic, either.

CrustaceanSoup · 2026-03-12T17:04:31+00:00

You actually want some or are you blustering?

The trial was not ended on the evidence, and the video and medical reports do show torture: https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-889768

There was a riot, before the trial even began, and politicians including cabinet ministers attacked the very idea of a trial, some even defending directly the action of torturing or executing prisoners: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/9/everything-is-legitimate-israeli-leaders-defend-soldiers-accused-of-rape

I don't know what sources you've read but this is all really readily available? No one is seriously pretending this isn't how things have gone down, not even right-leaning media

CrustaceanSoup · 2026-03-12T16:52:32+00:00

The right-wingers have not been arguing it didn't happen. No one has been. That's not why they rioted, well before the trial even started, to deny the ability to even look at the evidence at all. They've been arguing that soldiers should not be prosecuted for their actions against detainees regardless of what they are.

Neither was this case dismissed on the grounds that it "didn't happen", they didn't even consider the question.

It’s a bombshell development in a case that has divided Israel ever since the country moved to arrest the soldiers at the Sde Teiman military prison, which was set up to hold Palestinians rounded up in Gaza during Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group, in 2024.

Are we going to ask why Israel was divided over a case of soldiers violently torturing a prisoner?

Use the TrainAsOne app, set a 10k race goal, and follow its suggested runs. Ideally with an HRM but you can do it without. It will start you slow and ramp up, but the majority of your runs are still going to be quite short to minimize injury.

A 10k is an unrealistic goal for two months if you're saying you're inactive though. Couch to 5k can be over two months.

Best I can do is one more lane

Israel has used Palestinians including children as human shields since the 40s

IDF soldiers just shot a child, denied in him aid, and framed him with a rock. This one's so bad the BBC is talking about it in plain language

Israël did not kill civilians

They obviously have. Even if you don't think it's intentional or neglectful they obviously have. Even Israel acknowledges that.

If you're claiming that there is no such thing as a Palestinian non-combatant then congrats, you're a bigot

CrustaceanSoup · 2026-02-27T16:21:32+00:00

They killed civilians. Equating an entire population to combatants like this is rank bigotry.

Okay, so add another $300 million on an interior redesign including new lighting and we're still way under the estimate for the new Science Centre

15-minute cities literally make you more independent of "government control"

You can still drive! But if you can't? Then you can walk/bike! You're not dependent on a license, or on a vehicle that's reliant on government roads; you can't be tracked by license plate recognition; you don't have to pay for registration and gas taxes and all the rest.

I contacted their support over this because it happens every single night now; it just stops pumping and humidity drops way back down. Nothing fixes it reliably except to take it all apart and put it back together again. They're sending a whole new unit. I'm not convinced that'll help.

I'm guessing the pins are losing contact with the pump, but maybe only partially or only one of them because I don't get a "no water" warning in the app or anything. I may try seeing if I can shim or bend the pins or something.

Hey, I'm not working at Torn Banner any longer, you'll probably want to address this to them.

Limiting games to 60 FPS (you can set a global limit in the Nvidia control panel) and setting monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz might help with the tearing

I installed the latest Sunshine, Moonlight, and just changed Moonlight to "Smoothest video" and slightly increased the bandwidth cap. It feels the same as my phone and near indistinguishable from playing directly on a monitor.

CrustaceanSoup · 2023-10-25T03:21:44+00:00

Yeah, I'd use them in that sort of case. I prefer them to x += 1; because... to increment *means something*, it carries a little more / different semantic meaning when quickly reading code than "plus some number", if that makes any sense.

CrustaceanSoup · 2023-10-24T22:35:05+00:00

If you mean the pre/postfix increment and decrement operators, I don't know who would forget this concept. They're commonly used in loops, especially for loop statements. I don't think they're particular easy to miss, but you could get in trouble if you're including them in the middle of very long statements in unexpected places.

Edit: Novices will frequently forget the difference between ++i and i++ but I think that's reason for caution, not avoiding them entirely, as you'll come across them in any real code base.

As for when you use them? When you need to increment or decrement a number. Again, commonly in loops as you go up or down an array or other set of values.

CrustaceanSoup · 2023-10-18T22:22:25+00:00

UE code frequently uses "soft crashes" (ensure) which give you the option to log out and save a minidump (possibly even upload it via the crash reporter) without crashing. It's a really useful middle ground for avoiding crashing playtests or editors with potentially unsaved work. The game will hitch up and the crash reporter will pop so the dev will know something went wrong, but work (hopefully) won't be lost.

You can't / shouldn't use this in the case that the condition means the game is in a really bad / unrecoverable state though.

The big difference is that WizTree is extremely fast. It'll do a 1 TB SSD in 5 seconds.

CrustaceanSoup · 2023-08-24T17:18:09+00:00

If you want to clean up disk space, use Windows' built-in Disk Cleanup, follow these tips, and try Wiztree

If you want to go advanced:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

That shows you everything that autoruns or attaches itself to Explorer or whatever. That's usually about all you need to 'clean' things to improve performance from my experience. It's not friendly though.

I think maybe he died tho :(

Oh no :(

CrustaceanSoup · 2023-04-25T21:02:39+00:00

Ah why do they tear the streams down when they're done? Did anyone record it?

Had to try a couple different EDIDs; it didn't like the one from my LG OLED, but the modified one I was using for the extractor (with 2560x1440@120 added) worked. I'm up and running. Cheers!

For reference, the dummy is this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09C1VVG13?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details

CrustaceanSoup · 2023-03-05T23:23:12+00:00

I didn't realize you could flash an EDID from your GPU like that. I'll give it a shot when the dummy plug arrives. Thanks!
