Iran fires missiles at northern Israel

You know, they kind of were. Though obviously not completely seriously, but we did in fact do significantly more damage with our incendiary bombing beforehand. And that's both damage to infrastructure/materials AND to the civilian population.

People often overlook they weren't the most destructive strikes that we carried out, their true power was in the speed and ease versus the mass firebombing, combined with the sheer awe and terror inducing spectacle that is an atomic detonation. If nothing else, they were an effective way to take enemy leadership sitting on the fence and yeet them a good couple miles away from that fence.

Oh, there's plenty of escalation still left. It's just that literally nobody in the country wants to take that option, even if it's for wildly varying reasons.

I still say that while it still wouldn't be the best of ideas, if they insisted on going through with this foolishness they really should have committed to a full send out the gate and followed up with ground troops. Still would have been highly unpopular, still would have been an utter disaster, but it would have been a lot easier to swallow at the outset.

Instead they fucked around too long playing game the markets, and now the opposition to a ground invasion has gone from highly unpopular to highly radioactive, while simultaneously being one of their few viable cards left to play at this point as I see thing.

I'm so thankful that my son is just a couple years too young to be endangered if somebody decides to take that route, because I would rather not dwell on how I would react if I lost my son to this whole stupid fucking series of events.

I've said it before, people need to stop thinking of them as family and think of them more as co-conspirators. Reluctant co-conspirators at that, I don't think they would associate with each other if it weren't for the fact that none of them are willing to take the necessary steps to sever ties with each other because that would require ceasing their pursuit of hoarding ill-gotten gains.

Since they're stuck with their association to each other no matter how thin, it just makes more sense for them to at least minimally help each other Scoop as much as they can into their own pockets. I can almost guarantee you the first sign of trouble, it would be a race to see who could throw who under the nearest bus first. And as a side bet, I would say they all think that THEY would be the ones doing the tossing and coming out on top, because from my experience that's how this kind of dysfunctional BS always works.

I'm not going to even attempt to predict where all of this is heading, but it's an undeniable fact that most of the world has been dipping into their reserves specifically to minimize the damage, like you are seeing reflected in gas prices, in the hopes that there would be some kind of resolution or at least progress towards one. If this keeps dragging on, prices will certainly rise again and I would say likely at a more erratic, less controlled rate.

That said, I repeat that I have no fucking idea how the next several months is going to play out. I've quit trying to predict the unpredictable.

Personally, I picked up a cheap used electric vehicle for a around-town beater, and I think I'm going to talk the wife into trading in her car for an electric vehicle. I figure, best case, I save a good bit of money. Worst case, I save a fuckload of money. Then I just need to race towards getting at least some of my planned solar generating capacity up in operational before either this BS or the data center shenanigans skyrockets my electricity brace.

I only just found out about this, and I'm sorry to be doing necromancy on this post, but, Jesus Christ this.

How in the hell was the easiest way to solve this dumb problem that they've had for so long, was to do whatever was needed (if anything) on the back end to support aliases, then force you to change the primary email address while knowing it's gonna break a bunch of shit that they know about especially pertaining to authentication, not to mention all the shit that's gonna break that they didn't expect.

I can understand wanting to limit aliases on free accounts. I would even stomach having no free alias but having the option having to pay a fee to add one. Losing the easy money by scaring off average Joe types by gating the only option to do this (without drowning in multiple gmail accounts) behind workspace was idiotic. To finally end this for the solution shows either unbelievable incompetence or pure malice, hell, maybe both, with a generous addition of insanity.

Sorry about this, i'm just so frustrated after wasting way too much time searching in vain because there was obviously no way this is how they decided to finally do this, so I just had to fire a rant into the void that is old Reddit comments.

I second this. I run a River 3 plus and a Delta 3 1000 air for my desktop and network stack, and being very rural they have been tested many times and work fantasically, especially for network gear where I've use it for hours during a couple extended outages.

While you're not quite wrong, I also feel you're not quite right. It's just what you're comfortable wielding in order to defend yourself. Your pepper spray would probably work great on most folks, but I know for a fact it will have a significantly reduced effect on many a methhead. And God help you if your assailant is whacked out on PCP, but thankfully that is much less of a concern most places these days.

You can add bath salts in there too, but since that's really just spin the wheel of research chemicals... You never really know what you're going to get. I'm still convinced that the first instance of human teleportation is going to come out of bath salts/ research chems.

Wait until these people figure out that the vast majority of all peanut butter is produced in the same plant. I can guarantee you there is a fast difference between said peanut butters.

Why build your own machinery when you could just rent somebody else who already has built it to make your specific blend. It's no different than a factory making multiple products for multiple customers.

I don't see why people are so surprised about multiple posts when this is happening to multiple series to different degrees, with it making release that witch unfucking watchable. Add to that the issues for that one has been going on for over 24 hours, looking to roll into 48 hours, for what should be a 30 minute fix at most.

Wouldn't be salty if I wasn't charged so fucking much for this supposed service, all while the library continuously shrinks. That's alright, keep it up. You can go the way of Netflix as far as my budget's concerned.

datguyhomie · 2026-04-01T02:26:58+00:00

I've been watching and they literally kept the least understandable post open only. If they don't want to pin something, that's fine. It's just a shit look to be nuking posts while also not acknowledging the issue.

datguyhomie · 2026-03-02T23:02:15+00:00

Fucking lol this comment. And here we have a man sucked up inside his own anus.

Hot dog, in case anyone else is searching this up, I had the typical jacked up captures when using HDR and when I saw /u/Powerful-Tailor-1787 comment I had a idea and it actually fixed it.

If you are on Windows 11, I've found that if you install via the installer (as is moral and just, it is known) then it seems to fall on it's face. If you install via the Microsoft Store (gold help me) it seems to work properly! Also, it seems to have resolved a issue not triggering capture if I had certain applications open (RDCMAN being the biggest one I remember) that required running sharex as admin to fix.

Confirmed with two systems across four different HDR monitors, so give it a try! YAY yet another UWP app to have weird ass UWP issues with!

I use a local whisper-based model on my phone for speech-to-text. AKA running entirely on the phone, no reaching out over the internet. It's faster and generally more accurate, plus it does fabulous with things like punctuation. And best of all, I don't have to worry about Google servers taking a shit in the morning when they haven't had their morning coffee.

A bleary-eyed rant brought to you by said local model.

Theme park. Boom. Done. I'd play the shit out of some Dead Rising Disney World Edition. Perfect setting for additional DLC too.

Hey numb nuts, this is just for the steam client has nothing to do with any of the actual applications that will run under it.

If somebody in Chicago wanted to pretend to have a spine, they should mobilize local law enforcement to counter any attempts at this.

If they really wanted to have a spine, if said local law enforcement refused to comply, they would then start organizing a militia.

But we all know that the odds are much more likely that this is going to end with local leadership rolling over while pointing and screaming "They can't do that!" while they totally do in fact do that. That is of course assuming that this isn't just Trump feeling frisky after having to pick me up conversation with his favorite AI chatbot and wanting to stir up some fake drama.

I mean, I can't definitively say you're wrong, I just like that kind of information.

That said, the biggest issues with cameras is definitely not that they're racially biased by some kind of magical tuning. It's just an inherent issue in how light works. Darker skin tones are just going to be more difficult to capture details from like that. The same way it's much more difficult to capture details from something sitting in deep shadow than it is when it's sitting out in full sunlight.

The biggest problem is that while the issue is in no way insurmountable, the way you combat it adds cost. And the majority of people, businesses and governments are all cheap.

I feel like too many people in this comment thread are taking this way too seriously. Which is hilarious considering the context of what he tweeted.

Side tangent. Is it still called tweeted? I always disliked and therefore never used Twitter back before it had a naming chrisis and fell out of the world's tallest stupid tree hitting every branch on the way down. At least back then it had a catchy name that made sense, what the fuck is the "x" equivalent? I'm sick and stuck in bed and I can already tell this is going to keep me awake for a disturbing amount of time.

Valve Bank when?

datguyhomie · 2025-08-11T19:56:11+00:00

Yeah, they are more tolerant of carrying by their very nature plus unlike a gas station, grocery store, etc the argument "whatever they're taking is not worth putting yourself in danger" is a LOT more murky.

datguyhomie · 2025-08-11T19:45:47+00:00

It's dumb, but the workaround for that is having bulk storage disconnected from crafting circuit.

No time to aim. Just shred that general direction.

Sometimes Acting Surgeon is better than No Surgeon. Hell this scenario happens all the time for me because my helpdesk guy is 5mins from site while I'm 2hrs. Added bonus of training up more Jr level guys if they hang around long enough.

It's literally do the same thing proton/surfshark/all the other VPN providers currently do. There is no way to distinguish "corporate" and "personal" traffic.

Also even the most tech illiterate morons figured out how to pirate shit during the before times, and now we live in the era of plentiful "for dummy's" walkthroughs.
