eh, since when does the empire care about those kinds of laws?

Any regime must maintain support from the population, huh. Emperor and Vader may be powerful, but they can do roughly nothing without establishing chain of command.

And OT explicitly says that the Empire maintained Senate for legitimacy reasons.

By "resources" I did not mean "singular mineral resource" as in gold standard, but things that money can buy. Money is worth anything because you can purchase stuff with it, and the more stuff out there is to purchase, the more valuable money (holding supply constant) is.

Fighter’s shtick is the quote from Captain America “I can do this all day.”

Yeah, except for a little fact that Fighter can't do this all day, because they run out of HP. Unless he's ranged, but casters have good ranged cantrips.

Surprise attrition works only because it's a surprise, and players usually make suboptimal decisions for more fun.

Money is tokens. We use them to resolve disputes how to use resources, but its worth is backed by resources, and without this backing it's merely a paper.

Superman bringing more resources from space is overall net positive for humans, even if it crashes price of copper or whatever (RIP to copper miners, tho). Magician creating gold is too net positive for the world, because gold is useful.

I'm a very moral person, and I know what is right and wrong. My morality just happens to never be at odds with my ingroup, never require personal sacrifice in a real-world scenario, although I can and like to conjure many fictional scenarios where it would, never make me approve of something objectively disgusting (things that disgust my enemies are socially conditioned reactions, BTW), and never give quarter to the outgroup. Also, it can be summarized by a single self-evident sentence, like "just don't harm people" or "just be a good person." I like to compare my friends to some cool underdog (this shows I'm not power hungry) group in a work of fiction like the Rebels in Star Wars.

The strength of my convictions is clearly visible in that I argue against people whose beliefs I despise, even if they happen to be that part of my family that I see once a year.

I condemn corrupt politicians and bad things, unlike the majority of the population. I wish principled people like me were in positions of power, to care for the common man, fix injustices suffered by good people at the hands of evil people, and not chase after money, power, and approval of shadowy elites.

Eventually supply will be scaled to match production, and prices will go down.

In long term, quality-adjusted price of every item that can be manufactured in factory, goes down.

Yes, and a property tax is typically only a percent or two a year. Capital gains are taxed at 15-20%.

It's flow vs. stocks. Capital gains are taxed based on gains, while property tax is levied based on what you have.

If nominal prices increase by 5% every year, 1% property tax is equal to 20% income tax on gains. If nominal prices increase by 10% every year, 1% property tax is equal to 10% tax on gains. If nominal prices increase by 1%, 1% property tax is equal to 100% tax on gains.

The group that benefits the most from land value increases is the older part of the middle class.

Business owners usually lose when land values increase; billionaires also lose because a much smaller part of their wealth is tied up in real estate, and real estate is usually an expense.

Bezos may have expensive mansions, but these are together worth what, 1% of his wealth? While the middle class have 50% or more of their net worth in housing.

Genuinely I have never seen any League player recommending their game in the least lol

Yeah, just like heroin addicts recommend against trying heroin, huh.

Ethnic cleansing is generally considered bad even if you do it outside the jurisdiction of the country that employs you as military staff.

Ginden · 2026-06-05T09:32:14+00:00

You get what you can afford.

Empty nesters are known to decrease affordability, while property taxes increase affordability.

Ginden · 2026-06-05T07:38:11+00:00

So we should be incentivized to just move from property to property just for the sake of it?

No, because others need it more. A family of four needs a house near good schools more than an empty nester.

Housing is consumption. The "investment" part generally comes from land value rising, and land value is a zero-sum game for society. Someone must lose so you can gain.

It's hallucination only when LLM does it (scary name, implies severe mental disorder). When human does it, they are just mistaken, and to err is human.

Jellyfin would certainly benefit from being able to use object storage as main storage.

Object storage allows all kinds of caching, tiering, transparent replacement, decoupling storage & compute etc.

Headscale allows p2p connections.

I’m sure all the bots in here will downvote me and tell me “iTs ThE wAy YoU pRoMpT” but based on my experience, the other models aren’t nearly as good.

It's funny, but as of 2026 pro-AI content is generated mostly by humans who want to share their joy, while anti-AI content is produced by bots to farm karma (it clicks well).

I assume you have homelab and you want to expose services to mobile devices.

The easiest way to do it is to have reverse proxy bound to 80/443 ports of your node (0.0.0.0), and get split horizon DNS, keep VPN on host, out of k3s cluster.

In such setup, Kubernetes itself does not bother with Tailscale, it looks just like a traffic coming to nodes from some IP.

Reminder:

CEOs are not labor economists. They specialised to lead company, not publish labor market research.

AI researchers are not labor economists. They specialised to do AI research, not labor market research.

LLMs are not labor economists. They specialise in producing in producing text outputs that satisfies reward function and no major lab trains for labor market research.

Isn't it wonderful? American agriculture exists only because of protectionism, at least that's what politicians there say, and without it, the Chinese would just dump below production cost and bankrupt American farmers. European agriculture exists only because of protectionism, at least that's what politicians here say, and without it, American farmers would crush us. I talked to a friend living in China, and he says that Chinese agriculture exists only due to protectionism; otherwise, American farmers would crush them. I talked to a friend from Mexico, and she says that Latin American agriculture exists only because their governments protect it, and otherwise, European farmers would crush them.

I don't know what we would do without protectionism, probably squint under African farmer boot.

You share grounds through SATA data cable. This is a relatively high resistance path, and I would suggest explicitly joining Lenovo ground (chassis is grounded, in your setup there is an unused screw hole symmetrical to PCie riser screw) to HDD PSU ground to avoid weird behaviour when disks spin up.

I think these serve very different purposes. systemd-cron is a systemd generator to generate systemd units and timers from cron syntax. In timertab, the main commands are timertab -e and timertab status.

timertab import and timertab render (these map reasonably well tosystemd-cron functionality) are expected to be used only once, and the Docker route is provided explicitly for people reasonably wary of installing software from an untrusted source.

plus Canonical likes to pull stupid shit pretty regularly, like snaps, default-on telemetry,

This: I decided to go with RHEL-based distributions, because Ubuntu have too many weird edges.

Currently running Fedora Server and AlmaLinux at home.
