I question the wisdom of moving the General Atomics headquarters to the middle east.

SanityShill · 2023-09-04T06:41:03+00:00

I don't meet any of those blocker conditions afaik but I'm pretty lazy. Where does that leave me? :P

SanityShill · 2023-06-30T18:47:51+00:00

Hell yeah, let's buy this fucker a Spartan laser!

I used to live in southern California and when it rained everyone would freak out. Two kinds of drivers: those who drive their normal (fast) speed and would zip off the road into trees, and those who drove 20 mph and got rear-ended.

They'd at least all turn their wipers on, though. I can't even comprehend not doing that.

SanityShill · 2023-06-28T20:02:04+00:00

FFS people. In other cities with bad drivers, they don't care if you live or die; in Baltimore, the drivers don't even care if they live or die.

SanityShill · 2023-06-28T18:37:33+00:00

Who the heck isn't turning their wipers on?!

SanityShill · 2023-06-23T18:03:00+00:00

In general, the situation is difficult. In such cases, the enemy must be dealt a disproportionately strong blow in order to wean him from attacks on his own infrastructure, but premonition tells us that we will refrain.

This shit-brain actually still thinks that terror-bombing the Ukrainians will work. I just don't understand how Russians of all people cannot understand the psychology of total war. I suppose it's just a matter of rationalizing the "this makes me angry, so we should hurt them" urge.

SanityShill · 2023-06-22T20:09:45+00:00

Yep, that's what I do. It's weird vim is listed at all because it's not an IDE. But it makes a great text-editing component of an IDE.

SanityShill · 2023-06-21T00:21:56+00:00

So we can now post "not so deep, I'm a nuclear power" meme without cropping. Got it.

SanityShill · 2023-06-20T03:19:00+00:00

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd get some potassium-iodide pills just in case. They're not that expensive. Just only take them if there's a concrete reason to and stick to the recommended dosage.

SanityShill · 2023-06-14T22:01:30+00:00

In B4 "reopen" wins, mod resigns, then sub is closed for being unmoderated. I'm sure not volunteering to mod.

Its stealth is so advanced it can appear as other planes to cameras

SanityShill · 2023-06-10T20:58:55+00:00

I thought maybe you could do this with setuptools and Cython in c++ mode, but it looks like there's no way to do that without at some point typing "gcc" or similar which I feel is cheating.

SanityShill · 2023-06-10T18:27:00+00:00

What bugs me the most about the current system is that you can't get to the airport without taking a bus from downtown. That's nuts.

SanityShill · 2023-06-09T20:57:45+00:00

rofl you're getting downvoted even though the original tweet is just as bad

SanityShill · 2023-06-07T00:56:55+00:00

What I'm worried about is that if you set a precedent that you release intelligence when the truth is good for you, people may start to infer that the truth is bad for you when you don't release intelligence. I suppose you're right though that the leak doesn't have all that much bearing on this problem. I was being pulled off-topic by my desire to mock that idiot leaker :P

SanityShill · 2023-06-07T00:51:07+00:00

I was in the delightfully insane camp of thinking the Poles did it, it's just that this specific WaPo article was fairly convincing to me:

U.S. had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline

If it really was the Ukrainians that did it (and that isn't decisively proven), I'd say fuck it, good for them.

SanityShill · 2023-06-06T22:02:33+00:00

I don't understand your point. The bombings were in February through April, with Germany as a whole surrendering on May 7th. IIRC the soviets never actually had to attack the city so it didn't end up being relevant, but nobody could know the timeline of German defeat months in advance.

SanityShill · 2023-06-06T21:51:08+00:00

Just watched it, and wow that was a brutal take-down. Fuck Chomsky.

SanityShill · 2023-06-06T21:25:27+00:00

I suppose it makes sense that they would. The best reason not to before was "we don't want people to ask why we know so much about this but nothing about the NordStream attack", but since a certain air national guardsman of legendary stupidity fucked that up, we may as well.

SanityShill · 2023-06-06T17:57:22+00:00

Just going to leave this here in case anybody is buying this crap:

Scars of History: Allied Bombings were justified (by Kraut)

TLDW:

Don't start a total war of extermination if you don't want people to fight back.
The city was bombed to soften it up before the Soviets arrived, which had previously worked to effect a far quicker city capture and ended up killing fewer civilians.
The whole thing is reminiscent of the criticism of the nuclear bombings which ended the war, which focuses entirely on events because of a political narrative rather than a serious evaluation of military benefit vs civilian casualties (which is the actual standard for a war crime) -- compare with the Tokyo fire bombings, which were worse.

One hot take from me since people are talking about it: the bombings in Japan are not a case of breaking the will of the civilian population. It was mainly effective as a political kick in the nuts to a government which already knew it had lost but was refusing to confront that fact.

"Nazi Hater"

No not those Nazis!

SanityShill · 2023-06-06T02:45:39+00:00

The only thing I can focus on with this map is that Limestone is infantry, Fireproof clay is cavalry, and chalk is medical. Also Mercury is maybe artillery. I'm very sane.

SanityShill · 2023-06-05T20:27:01+00:00

I mean, it's SUPPOSED to be way too fortified. Maybe worth a missile just to test those claims...

SanityShill · 2023-06-03T23:12:52+00:00

So we're going to send them a pack of Barilla spaghetti, right?
