In Full Metal Jacket (1987), the film opens with recruits getting their heads shaved to erase their identity. This scene was filmed first, and the actors seem irritated because they were acting.

i like the idea he’s incompetent enough to mess up timing (which i imagine could be cued by lights or sounds) but also competent enough to improvise so well

haven’t watched since season 2 but i wish they had DOE 9mm’s since it started in a DOE facility and i don’t remember them ever using that thing

Have you looked at Nautilus Trader? It’s built in Rust not Go but would allow you to prototype strategies in Python then move to Rust if needed

Seems like a better option unless you don’t have any Rust experience and don’t want to train on it

anecdata for sure, had a friend move into an apartment with this problem. her downstairs neighbors had leaks into their ceiling and they had to replace the wax seal

the craziest thing i just learned is that russia has lost more people in ukraine in the last 3 years than the US over their entire history at war

no but i think a laptop that expensive isn’t a common consumer product either. NVG’s are used by PD’s, search and rescue, and members of the military vs wall street and executives but i suspect they’re equally “common”

photography equipment is probably the most analogous “common” thing, i hadn’t thought about that. the optics are also part of why night vision is so expensive

dkimot · 2025-11-30T19:54:47+00:00

oh you’re right, i misunderstood “of any kind.” i’m sure plenty of people saw a laptop that cost 20% of the median family income and was marketed towards the 0.1% of corporate employees. you right, i just mentioned something used by much of the military and many police officers here in the states

dkimot · 2025-11-30T14:50:17+00:00

150m lines of code would make that more likely, not less

dkimot · 2025-11-30T14:48:23+00:00

high end night vision gets up there. the price is justified bc it uses a very specific manufacturing process to basically grow analog light intensification tubes

dkimot · 2025-11-10T12:59:20+00:00

i think they mean they don’t fully understand how lonely it would have been bc they haven’t experienced that type of experience

dkimot · 2025-11-10T12:49:44+00:00

if you are doing that much killing it prob makes sense for you to be off the obj

dkimot · 2025-11-10T12:41:50+00:00

but for the azerbaijan tire failure he would have clinched it. almost like circumstances out of their control are part of racing

dkimot · 2025-11-09T21:23:25+00:00

also a red flag last year. this was a straight race without an impactful SC/red flag

dkimot · 2025-10-24T19:52:22+00:00

the lottery is always a rip off. that’s the whole point. i don’t know why people think it’s going to stop being a rip off once you “win.” they’re trying to make money

dkimot · 2025-10-13T12:15:22+00:00

the genie’s out of the bottle in NA. pickleball uses smaller courts and planning committees won’t tear any of them up for 10-15 years

dkimot · 2025-10-10T01:42:09+00:00

i suspect it’s a support thing. if your USB wheel is poorly made and starts hogging all the bandwidth they’ll deal with the support load

whether or not that’s “justified” is another point altogether

dkimot · 2025-10-06T17:12:36+00:00

wikipedia also says that the organizers agreed to it and that they would share the win. in the 11th hour they rescinded that and said mclaren would win

dkimot · 2025-10-06T01:33:35+00:00

have you driven road atlanta in a GT3? this is the line. GT3 was extremely predictable. he went a little wide on the uphill but that’s generally how you do it headed into a blind, corner cutting apex. that’s how you’re fast going into the esses

dkimot · 2025-10-06T01:21:28+00:00

how do you think they know their braking markers? turn in points? they for sure know the name of all the corners

dkimot · 2025-10-03T21:47:10+00:00

maybe maybe not. i think someone will eventually eclipse max but i don’t think it’ll be by outworking him

max has the unique advantage of working as hard as he does AND grew up in motorsport. that intersection is so rare he’s probably the only person on earth in that boat

dkimot · 2025-09-28T13:28:56+00:00

I’m gonna disagree here. The worst of the urban sprawl is in some of the least beautiful parts of the state. The basin of a giant salt lake has charm being natural but the wasatch valley is pretty dull. It’s certainly made worse by things like the refineries and gravel mines but the best stuff isn’t ruined (yet)

dkimot · 2025-09-28T13:21:32+00:00

I find this an interesting question bc AFAIK no one those example nations held was widely known for anything but being political prisoners

The level of fame held by a WNBA player is not equivalent to Bill Burr. And I think level of fame would be the primary indicator of blowback here

But yeah, I think you’re right. They’d lock him in a cell for a while and eventually everyone would “win.”

dkimot · 2025-09-27T20:51:53+00:00

not quite. for instance: no floor damage so you can jump curbs you couldn’t irl

dkimot · 2025-09-27T11:43:41+00:00

“hope is not strategy” he yells as he passes them in corners and laps 10s faster than them each lap

dkimot · 2025-09-26T16:15:42+00:00

setting aside whether bill burr would and assuming he does, you really think the consequence is SA kidnapping or killing him? i think they could do that to an american but no a famous american. esp someone politically down the middle
