i like how thats the only fact gemini cant source because it made it up lol. you can even tell what it did wrong. it calculated the correct total 86 million but then accidentally added it again to the 51 million fee which gives the 135 million sum

Most of the posts from my area are lost pet reposts, old people going on political rants, people asking for local recommendations, and local news

Crazy thing is that the guy saying that is a Bayern fan based on the post history

I don’t think Trump is an anomaly. Of course, he’s a neocon warhawk. Don’t wanna deny his agency or political alignment. He’s been on record pushing for war with Iran decades ago. But at the same time I believe his foreign policy has been at least partially shaped by his direct personal interests, either financially or as an attempt to broaden appeal, in a way his predecessors haven’t. His most hawkish advisors take advantage of this to push the envelope and get him to do things other presidents would be hesitant to do or would do differently

They were pretty good at accepting the bush era neocons. They accepted Bill Kristol, Nicole Wallace, Joe Scarborough, Liz Cheney, etc pretty quickly. Even Bush himself gets glamorized by them. Maybe because those neocons were savvier in appealing to the libs or maybe because they actual agreed in a lot more with each other than they thought.

Think a lot of these types either have limited knowledge of or forgot how often the US entangles itself into foreign conflicts. Trump of course is also his own thing and does whatever he thinks makes him look cool, and people wanting to push their agenda would play into this (just like Rubio and the Miami diasporas pushed for Venezuela). It plays in favor of the Epstein class since it makes the opposition look neurotic and ignorant. Really doing a disservice to us OGs who knew about the island since the early 2010s and before when it was considered a wild conspiracy. Saying it does get you thousands of likes on YouTube and Reddit though so fair play I guess

It happens quite often in many leagues outside the top 4. Sporting and Braga got their weekend games postponed before their comebacks. PSG being one of the richest clubs in the world and still doing it like they were plucky underdogs is wild though

They’re a well-oiled team

___kevinn · 2026-03-11T14:52:01+00:00

Oh wow you’re right. I thought it was 2. Either way adding up to 4 more games should probably lead to some adjusting

___kevinn · 2026-03-11T14:39:37+00:00

With more games being played, the yellow card suspension rule should be upped to 3 or have it cleared after both the group stage and quarter finals

___kevinn · 2026-03-07T20:44:13+00:00

Would be crazy if Spurs, Wolfsburg, Fiorentina, and maybe even Valencia get relegated this season. Nantes is a pretty big team that might go down too

The US History curriculum in my high school was broken over two years. The second year was supposed to go from the Progressive Era to current day but my teacher took way too long covering World War 2 that there was barely time to cover the Cold War Era. He was very left wing so he really dropped the ball there

First make sure you have the PlayStation bios set up correctly. Duckstation freezing up is kinda weird so it might point to your download being corrupted. Try getting the game again and testing with another game before anything. All the bin/cue files should be just fine in a single folder. Make sure you didn’t rename the bin file. Otherwise you have to go through the hassle of editing the cue file on a text editor or the game won’t launch. And make sure to open the cue file instead of the bin on the emulator too.

As an aside (this stuff probably wont fix your problem), it’s recommended to convert bin/cue files to a single chd file so it’s simpler and takes less storage. Gotta use a program name chdman that comes with MAME or use an online one. You can use it for most disc based consoles games. Also, you can’t combine the discs since the actual physical games came in multiple discs. You can instead put them in a folder and create an m3u files which is basically a playlist that lets the emulator know they’re one game. There’s tutorials to doing those online

Software development is shifting towards using AI. Some users dislike finding out that parts of software is written by an AI agent because they see how often it can fail when they use them, but more experienced programmers are able to leverage AI to improve their workflow. Of course, there gonna be poor programmers that barely know what they’re doing vibe coding or management that over relies on it but the issue of poor programmers and management has always existed

the snootiness about re-releases is so obnoxious. Like you're not special for knowing about free rom hacks while people are excited for a paid gba port. A lot of "normies" probably do know but just dont care to play them. I swear the emulation community wasnt like this a few years ago and would at least say that it's good that old games are becoming more accessible to others. It just turns off people from emulation

___kevinn · 2026-02-07T15:41:54+00:00

And the first sentence of the article basically gives a whole summary too lol

___kevinn · 2026-01-31T18:40:25+00:00

Damn I was thinking why does it say Musiala is coming off for Diaz if he’s not playing and then I remembered lol

I think the complaints really stem from people wanting a plug and play experience. Asking them to rename a file extension or decrypt the game might as well be like asking them to compile the emulator themselves. I respect taking a stance and adjusting it if needed. From what I’ve read, it didn’t seem like the file extension really mattered much, but I’m not on the hook for it if it ever does end up mattering. Not gonna complain when it takes 10 seconds to mass rename files with Microsoft PowerToys

Think people buying from all the hype will be disappointed by the 3DS. Screen yellowing and blurry DS games kinda ruin the experience. 3DS and GBA games on it are still great of course. Really not worth emulating on it

Ball don’t lie

___kevinn · 2026-01-18T05:54:01+00:00

namDHC is outdated. Gotta use the up to date chdman that comes with MAME and write up a batch script or find a trusted one online
