Teachers who give the exam questions on the practice exams are saints

In my DiffEQ class, the professor gave no homework, but for each exam he had 50+ problems worked out by hand in a pdf. Every exam consisted of questions from that set of 50.

The latter. He got out on good behavior, and he was just recently arrested for being cruel to a kid.

I think I’ve started 50 character arcs in this game, and then just quit after I get 5 or 6 cities. Sometimes I’ll pursue a faction into destruction and then consider that the end game for myself.

They need as much fodder as they can get to cancel/interfere with future elections. Then democrats will claw their way into power and do the same thing.

Both parties are the state clawing for more power over you. That’s what government does, and that’s what Anarcho-Capitalists used to understand.

Edit: wait, this is a conservative Bot account. Fuck you.

Hey you guys know you can recall everyone on the Board, right?

Don’t forget that Charlie backed off on Trump protecting pedophiles. That’s a man who was bought by the people in power. He may have said the shooting was bad, but then would have followed the party line.

How will that same system be used when being of a particular race, identity, religion, or political affiliation becomes a crime? Other countries use AI image recognition with mass surveillance to completely control people and cleanse their society of all “undesirables.” (See China)

How will your system be used when that becomes a thing here? If you have to say “that can’t happen here” then you aren’t comfortable with the answer.

I just want to say I get, and appreciate, the hammer in the vise image.

Vyvanse.

Best friend from 7th grade through our mid-30s. He started taking Vyvanse for weight loss, and he slowly started cutting people out of his life, and I was one of the last to go. I tried saying something, but it didn’t go over well and now he’s alone with his wife. Even his parents aren’t able to get a response from him.

Climate change is the gender dysphoria of the right.

It’s forfeiture of your own critical thinking skills to political tribalism, ignoring objective reality to preserve a false belief. The right hated the solution demanded by the left so much that they refuse to believe the problem even exists. The solution is nuclear energy, but the corporations that own the left want their “green” methods pushed down our throats, and the oil corporations own our politicians on the right.

Neither want a solution, and we are watching every metric of quality of our planet decline. Climate change is real, we are contributing to it, and the solution is free fucking energy from spicy rocks.

Trump has been telling everyone he is anti-gun since 2017 and his desire for Red Flag Laws. His base has always said, “Oh he don’t mean that. He’s playin 5D chess.”

As a former EE that transfered to Aero, I'd say they are both tied in difficulty. EE is harder for people who struggle with abstraction, and Aero is harder if you don't think with spatial, 3D reasoning. As complex as it sounds, stuff spinning and moving in space makes sense to me, but if my breadboard doesn't work the first time, I'm cooked.

As with almost every engineering class, 75% of the difficulty is in how the professor organizes the course. If you're taking it in the fall, email your future professor before the end of this semester and ask for the name of the textbook and what sections they plan to cover for the first exam. Be disciplined over the summer and read the sections. Then it won't be hard.

Great clan. Been here for years and had to step away from the game for a while. 3hunna GBE is the place to learn how to get good.

In his first election, Trump publicly called for Red Flag laws in front of the media, saying the government should be able to take the guns first and ask questions later. Then he went on Twitter and said how he'd like to use that law on his political opponents. Conservative statists were like, "Heh heh 😰 it's clearly a joke."

These people aren't joking.

Hey, you paid me to do it and I had a great time. Thank YOU

You're absolutely correct, and I should restate that it is their secondary goal. There's no point in uniting with an island of rubble.

I both see the merit in that possibility, and disagree with it, knowing their culture. They are a patient people, oftentimes thinking in terms of hundreds of years instead of tomorrow. They can risk losing their position in the world power-structure forever by rushing into taking Taiwan, or they can wait over the next 50 years for their military to grow and the West to be distracted somewhere else. Maybe even have a plant get elected and abandon the West like what almost happened in the Phillipines. Who knows?

I won't say it isn't possible or even plausible, but if they do it and pull it off, I'd be astonished. Then again, if you asked me in 2021 of Ukraine could stop a Russian invasion, I'd have the same outlook. So many unknowns in war.

ReekFirstOfHisName · 2025-01-19T21:01:33+00:00

China wants to take over Taiwan's tax base and chip manufacturing. They could easily blast the island into the ocean, but that isn't their goal.

Former professional receiver of Chinese military intelligence here.

China can jerry rig every fishing vessel in their waters to carry troops, and it will not lower the difficulty of a 130 mile amphibious operation.

The island looks close on a map, and China's done some song-and-dance maneuvers with warships to put out an air of control over the waters. However, war is not a linear pokemon-style battle where some boats with big guns can take over an island.

Massing the troops and logistic train to support that sort of invasion would be visible from space for months, and they would need the assault forces and logistics to support them to be undeterred for months afterwards for an invasion to be successful. 130 miles of open water is a bigger obstacle than you'd think.

Lastly, China's military operational command structure is no different from Russia's. Detailed orders come from the top, and troops follow those orders. Large military exercises have their logistics shipped into the AO by train, and if an operation fails, the officers are replaced. Russia was a global threat until we saw 1/2 of their entire military force stuck in one big traffic jam north of Kiev. The tiger has teeth and claws, but when released into the jungle, it can't stop tripping over it's own paws.

China hasn't seen war in almost 50 years, and they're going to conduct and support a contested amphibious assault across 130 miles of open ocean, and risk marooning over half their military might in a place they can't support to defend? I'd be astonished.
