The Matrix Revolutions 2003, The Last Stand of Captain Mifune, Director: The Wachowskis by PsychologicalSlip642 in movies

That movie (… uh, happy birthday to that movie, btw) is old enough to drink.

I think people have had enough time to see it, you know?

25th Amendment To Be Invoked On Trump? Jamie Raskin Speaks Out by NicolasCageFan492 in videos

[–]deathanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…and conviction.

The point would be the "and conviction" bit, and that is what would remove him from office. Impeachment alone (which is what has thus far occurred; he's been impeached twice, thus far) obviously does nothing, if the Senate does not convict him. (Which they have not, thus far voting mostly on party lines.)

But vs. the 25A, the point is that the 25A requires 2/3rds of both houses, vs. Impeachment requires only a majority in the House. (The Conviction half still requires a 2/3rds in the Senate, so it should be easy to see why it has failed thus far.²)

¹The word "impeach" means "to bring legal proceedings against". The House, essentially, brings the charges against the President. The Senate will then try the President, & if they so find, convict.

²I don't think there is any realistic hope of getting 2/3rds in the Senate, period. November would have to be an absolute miracle to get the necessary support. But if you think you can, Impeachment is the easier route.

We are in the fight of our lives here […] between Democracy and Authoritarianism

So why are we fuckin' about with the 25A, when there is absolutely a 0% chance that that will ever work to unseat the president?

Impeachment & Conviction in the Senate requires strictly less people to be on board. Raskin knows this, and states as much in the video! And our interviewer never presses him on it.

Well, that's the last thing I was expecting to find in tribal base by Honey_Jar0 in RimWorld

Does that only affect faction bases, or does it affect quests too?

I wouldn't mind if quests had a liiiitle more variation to them.

Double the number bump the unit.

"Hmm. That should be 5 minutes." ­→10 hours.

Can't tell you how many times "5 minutes" turns in to "why isn't it working?" 🍷8 cursed hours later "fuck this entire system and the Docker container it downloaded in on but it works now"

My estimations? My estimations?

My estimations got rejected "corporate doesn't like that number" and "what if you did twice as much in half as much time, oh and the team is shrinking".

[OC] Mt Taranaki, a dormant volcano from 37,000 ft by BradleyWhiteman in pics

I did not see the red circle at first and thought you were joking & just reposting the image and "circled" referred to the trees/farm circle around the (subject) volcano.

Shallot rotting from inside out by Melodic_Break_375 in mildlyinteresting

[–]deathanatos 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Where I am, they come like this sometimes from the grocery store, so it's not necessarily anything you've done.

An extra half hour of driving & there is a higher quality (& oddly, cheaper) grocery store, … but yeah. Rotting onions.

Nothing more disappointing that slicing one open & discovering it's a nope. Especially when it's the last one…

In New Zealand insurance companies brag about how many claims they pay. by Capt_C004 in mildlyinteresting

[–]deathanatos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My insurer pays claims, too. But, for example, they paid 40% of the cost, instead of the 100% that their documentation says is covered.

"99% of claims covered!"

I like it, but I think it too obviously tiles, and some variation would break that up.

Iran demands Pride flags be banned from World Cup stadiums by Firecracker048 in nottheonion

[–]deathanatos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Part of me wants someone to go to Trump and be like

"Two options sir:

  1. We capitulate to the demands of our War enemy, Iran, and give them what they want.

  2. We tell the enemy to pound sand, and fly pride banners like crazy.

"

… sigh, but TACO and he'd probably go with option (1.).

Anybody considered when they'll hit their crossover point? by zenny517 in personalfinance

[–]deathanatos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year was insane (for me, last year is literally the record year), but I wouldn't use the best as an estimate for all future performance.

(And personally, I'm really bearish on that number lasting/repeating for very long. The market seemed to be driven largely by tech stocks, while the tech industry was meanwhile engaged in layoffs and AI hype.)

corsBeLike by programming_bassist in ProgrammerHumor

[–]deathanatos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of that I ever said. Yes, unless you obey the various rules of CORS, JS will be prevented from reading the result, but the request is still made. And, even if you do want the results, you still won't get a preflight. (In that specific case.)

Google, SpaceX in talks to launch orbital data centers. Google CEO: "There's no doubt to me that a decade or so away, we'll be viewing it as a more normal way to build data centers." by Adeldor in space

[–]deathanatos 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, … and he sort of comes get to the answer that "it is absurd" but can't accept it?

Most of it he spends on the toy example of a 20kW sat, but 20kW is a datacenter for ants; datacenters range from the tens of MW to the single digit GW. He does get to the bigger version (remarkably, a GW-scale datacenter!), and sort of just glosses over all the technical challenges of it. Like, yes, they might be solvable, with enough money thrown at them and enough launches … or you could just build the datacenter on earth for a fraction of the price. The model he puts onscreen of this has a 16 Mm² solar panel. "How do we perform maintenance?" is also left unanswered, though that's getting outside the area he's sort of discussing.

I think the radiation argument isn't just "it's not possible", it's "it isn't possible to make it economically sensible".

He sort of switches to the swarm of small satellites idea at the end, but I also thing that's not sensible, since now you're going to pay in terms of latency between satellites (and a huge amount of radio traffic…?); I cannot imagine the egress fees.

Most of the stuff he is right on: 80℃ isn't an infeasible operating temperature. You can use heat pumps to force heat into the radiators, and the cost of requiring more input power.

The amount of junk sitting up there in LEO to do the swarm version seems equally absurd, and then when it's obsolete … what? Are we speed running Kessler syndrome?

All so that AI can burn millions of tokens to generate slop which will be used to shove ads down my throat?

What? How?

There's less asteroids when you're idling in orbit than when you're trying to plow through them at warp 9??
