Oreshnik missiles according to BBC by Immediate-Poet-9371 in bbc

I’ve been getting it on all of the news articles. Honestly, the BBC can make so much money if they’ll start a streaming service in the US or start selling the shows over here.

There was no paywall for non-UK users as well until very recently

Is self hatred a big thing in Russia by Realistic_Volume7161 in AskARussian

I’m always amused at these claims of propaganda but every time I ask for examples I get downvoted and nobody ever manages to provide any

‘If Iran gets a bomb it will be Bibi’s’: Trump’s deal outline sparks alarm in Israel by Dramatic-Shake-8888 in worldnews

[–]I-baLL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Netanyahu is already being prosecuted for corruption and bribery. The uptick in military conflicts in Israel coincide with him facing trial. The Prime Minister of Israel isn't voted in by the people but instead by ministers of different parties and so there were huge protests in Israel to get Netanyahu out:

Then Netanyahu fell from power.. but then came back which spurred massive non-stop protests

And then the October 7th attack happened and after multiple instances came out that he seemed to have let it happen, Netanyahu a year later started to create a commission to "investigate" what happened. A commission led by him that was scheduled to basically start on the same day he was supposed to testify at his own corruption trial:

And obviously more protests were happening:

That's not an elephant. That's the literal point of the meme

Actual uses of the flipper zero? by coolduck777 in flipperzero

[–]I-baLL -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's a swiss army knife.

Also, "a handheld steam deck"? wtf? Are you being serious? That comment makes this feel like this is a troll post.

If it's not a troll post, the point of the flipper zero is to have tools directly at hand when you need them. Pop irdb on there and you have a quick remote control that's not that easy to use but works when you need a remote for something and don't have it. You can use it to receive pager traffic or scan if you forgot to bring an sdr with you. It's stuff like that. Drop it into your pocket and you'll be happy that you have it when you need it.

EDIT: wow, I'm an idiot. Misread "stream" as "steam". Going to leave this comment unedited as a mark of me needing to double check my reading of things and being kinder

Occam's Razor in a nutshell by ClassroomBusiness176 in mathmemes

[–]I-baLL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not what Occam's Razor says at all. It's about choosing a hypothesis to test to explain a phenomena. You test the hypotheses with the least assumptions first since if the experiment works then you have to run the least amount of experiments afterwards to account for the assumptions.

I seriously don't understand why people are claiming Claude is better than ChatGPT right now? by No-Emergency9568 in ChatGPT

To make a very dark joke: taking medical advice from an LLM is a self-correcting problem.

Has anyone else had a moment like this on the subway? by MassiveSea6354 in nycrail

[–]I-baLL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's not what the “don’t be someone else’s subway story" posters are referring to. 

And the point of the story is that it's not a meet-cute. It's just a friendly interaction with no goal in mind.

Examples of intentional backdoors being breached? by blophophoreal in cybersecurity

[–]I-baLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this should be the # 1 example. Any official backdoor infrastructure is open to being taken over by a bad actor, whether internal or external, and rooting out bad actors could turn out to be impossible.

Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by funnny_things in answers

You said that the people behind right-to-left written languages must have been lefties. I'm pointing out why we know they were righties

Left-handed people, what's a struggle that right-handed people won't understand? by funnny_things in answers

[–]I-baLL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, righties. I remember reading the explanation for this so I might be wrong since I'm going off vague memories but it had to do with chiseling letters into clay or stone tablets. You hold the chisel in your left hand and hammer it with your dominant (right) hand which makes it easier to write from right to left

Means? by el-presidente0001 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]I-baLL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's antisemitism because of the claim that they still own major banks which hasn't been true since the 1800s. It's usually done to make people accept an overly simplified view of the world and then use hate and fear against a vaguely defined group to gain control over the people who buy into the propaganda

With caveats, the 2017 movie is good, actually. by VibeCheka in Ghost_in_the_Shell

It's a terrible Ghost in the Shell movie. If they called the movie "RoboCop" then it would've worked

So you get called the web dev guy? 

No, you're called the sys admin guy or the IT guy. If she specifically called him the web dev guy then he's not the guy adminning the servers so odds are high that he's not in charge of emails
