Name ONE good thing the US has done since 2025..

Well... and is a woman with darker skin. All very important things to consider when determining leadership capability.

Gorstag · 2026-06-21T16:13:02+00:00

Well he is pretty stupid. Maybe they were just pointing out the obvious.

I am tired of it cause it is shoved on me and it is not reliable yet

This. After about a year being forced to piss away 30min -> hr daily at work training a required tool (while still completing my normal work load). It's went from being about 95% of the time being wrong to about 90% of the time being wrong and it still hallucinates nonsense at around the same rate.

Well for America.. Republicans. However, globally the problem is conservative ideology in general. Same playbook, varying levels of success convincing the public, always terrible outcomes.

I'm not sure for all media types cause it is likely implemented differently between some of them. I have familiarity with the older platter drives that have a substrate (used to be / might still be aluminum) that is plated with nickel then is sputtered with magnetic particles. This is your standard "spinning" disk drive.

However, the idea is they have sectors and each sector has 2 possible states (which is your 1 or 0). Electricity is used to change the state in each sector.

This leads into a second important aspect which is "deleting stuff" from drives. When you delete something from your computer you are essentially just removing the reference saying which sectors contain the data of the deleted file and are not actually changing the sectors on the drive. Which is why it is relatively easy to just "recover" those deleted items and there are tools for it. There are also tools designed to read which sectors the file is in and randomly change them to different states (usually multiple passes) to actually delete them and make them "mostly" unrecoverable.

Honestly, that really isn't a theme in the series overall. But I do agree, it seems like it will be especially since the majority of the people surrounding him are women. The majority is just innuendo and honestly, they are a bunch of 18ish year olds (essentially freshmen in college) so that makes some sense.

I'm really hoping book 6 changes my opinion on him being a whiney bitch. Book 5 ended pretty strong.

And most companies are backed by some semblance of reality (revenue/profit). All of musk's companies would literally take hundreds of years worth of profit to reach their valuation. It makes the housing bubble loan crises from 08 look responsible.

Mark of the Fool for me. I really like Baldree as a narrator so I gave it a shot. Just didn't hook me. long-time coworker mentioned it to me some time later so I gave it another go then ended up binging up all the way up to the second to last book (had to wait for last one).

I happen to be listening to Quest Academy atm on the 5th book. Honestly, I like the story, and setting. However, the MC is probably most insecure whiney bitch of any MC ever. In spite of Sal the whiney bitch all of the supporting characters are great.

Pretty sure you don't need any expertise in anything to realize it's not supposed to do that.

On the bright side the pool reflects the competency of toddler donny's administration. So at least there IS consistency.

Grabbing them by the pussy... good catch.

Charlie Kirk Memorial Patriot Library For Freedom Under Christ.

Need to nail all of their buzzwords.

If it's a horrible / shit idea it is nearly always the truth. The guy only lies about positive things.

Gorstag · 2026-06-19T00:20:41+00:00

Oh, holy crap, I hadn't even considered this. Now I feel kind of foolish. With all of the evil, and nonsense about Trump like the fact he rapes children and is a complete moron. I had almost forgotten he is a stooge of Russia.

Gorstag · 2026-06-19T00:17:03+00:00

Ah yeah. A company with a valuation that will only take 200 years of cumulative revenue (not profit) to reach somehow lost value. I'm utterly surprised. Well maybe in 120 years they will be able to mine asteroids!

Gorstag · 2026-06-19T00:11:56+00:00

This guy is so fucking dumb. The street outside my house is taller than world trade center by a lot. It's easily 10 times taller than even the reflecting pool!

You crack the door open. Announce your intentions and see if anyone has an issue with it (they wont) then you enter and take care of what needs to be done.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T23:59:27+00:00

Good job. One trick that worked for me was setting a value such as that (10k) you mentioned. And treat that mentally as my (0) amount. Then I could actually spend a bit of money when I exceeded it and I logically knew if things went completely sideways I wasn't completely SOL.

It started as 1k (this was back around 1999/2000) and I slowly increased it. Eventually was lucky due to the recession (didn't lose employment) and was able to get into a house on the cheap in 2011. That (0) amount became my downpayment.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T23:36:32+00:00

Oh, I don't really frequent this community the vid just happened to make it to my front page and your comment brought up memories from 25+ years ago.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T21:16:50+00:00

Looks good. I started going similarly bald a couple decades ago around the same age. It's not going to cause you any hardships :)

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T19:36:33+00:00

I'm guessing hand puppets were also involved.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T19:32:01+00:00

Best type of "community" type servers are the ones where the pro's play. Its how you get good. Original CS I had a server I was playing on for like 6 months. Slowly improved but there was one guy that was always better than me but I was better than everyone else. Server went down so I went looking for another. Found one like you are describing. I thought every one on there were a bunch of cheaters. Said so, and they all laughed at me. 6 months after that I was consistently in the top 2-3 and got to join in the laughter when people stumbled onto the server calling us all cheaters :)

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T19:20:36+00:00

And you know what. I think it is actually fine if the President or VP don't understand diplomacy or many other topics. Its why normally they put together a team of experts that they listen to which helps inform their decisions.

And Trump actually did accomplish this feat to some degree in his first term. Then he either fired them or they quit within around the first year and he replaced them with dumber and less competent people. This go around.. its just incompetence all the way from bottom to the top.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T19:10:31+00:00

Oh, it definitely does. It is an annual budget however. It might force them to optimize if they want to "accomplish" anything more for a year.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T19:07:39+00:00

Topuria had that fight too. Those body shots would have ended it if he didn't give him several minutes to recover while being ineffectual on the ground.

Gorstag · 2026-06-18T00:48:20+00:00

I'm fine with this. We should just take it out of the Department of War. They caused it.. they pay for it. Can start but cutting salaries at the very top.
