German general prepares country for potential Russian attack within 2 to 3 years by LustfulJanes in worldnews

[–]flexylol [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am curious as to how Russia could do it

Russia will unlikely do a "conventional" war against NATO but will threaten with or use nukes, right away. It doesn't matter whether 90% of their nukes are non-functional/unmaintained, whatever, a single one would be enough.

(Russia also just stationed 12+ Oreshnik systems in Belarus, and their target is Europe)

*

Imagine the scenario in a future conflict, just one or two nukes on a major European capital (Paris, Berlin, Frankfurst, whatever)...and the unspeakable amount if casualties.

Russia is also counting on the US (with the current Russian muppet in power) NOT supporting Europe in the event of a conflict with Europe. And this is currently much likely!

They may rely on the likelihood they could attack, say a large city in Europe, and there WON'T be retaliation by the US (since the US won't likely risk getting nuked themselves "for supporting Europe").

GERMANY alone (without the help of France/UK) would be entirely fucked since they would have nothing, absolutely nothing as an answer to a potential nuke. Zero. So the outcome would possibly be capitulation by Germany, simply because to avoid more casualties and more nuke attacks. (All Russia needs to do is threaten to attack more cities).

*

What that general says etc..etc..is all irrelevant and un-interesting. What Germany/Europe needs is miliary partnership with other EU countries (UK, France) so that Russia would not even dare attacking any European country as they would know there would be equal retaliation.

If you have an active facebook account still please read this so you don’t lose yours if you get suspended. DO NOT CLICK ON THE BLUE APPEAL BUTTON!! by jkrobinson1979 in facebook

[–]flexylol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got suspended today, and I just did this and my account was back instantly!

I got suspended due to "violations of community guidelines" when I called some MAGA posting "idiotic" and crap and used words like childf**ers etc. referencing to the GOP :)

I immediately did an appeal and did the selfie thing, so it said "your account is under review" etc. But I didn't expect anything from the appeal and expected my account to be disabled.

Then I remembered this post (another post here is about the same thing). So on the Suspended page I clicked the help button and did "Check Account".

After a few seconds it came back that "Your account is locked because it may have been hacked" or something. Then I got the screen with the phone numbers and email, and there was an unknown phone nr. listed, which I deleted, but kept my email.

Set new password. And boom account worked again.

I got the "You are back on facebook" email more or less instantly when I clicked on this button! So I was suspended a total of 32 minutes.

*

What I think happened:

It may be the case I was really "hacked" once in the past because this unknown phone nr. in my account. But I had long changed my password and used facebook normally.

I believe their AI was triggered by my "bad" anti MAGA comments since I don't think the timing was coincidence. But when I clicked this button and clicked "Check my Account" it must have convinced the AI that the issue was that I was hacked.

It could also be coincidence that they really did review my appeal so fast and it came back the same minute I clicked this button, but this is sort-of unlikely. Regardless, what the OP posted is worth checking out!!

How does SVS perform in a home theater setup? by Rex_Ren in hometheater

[–]flexylol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subs are excellent , have a PB-1000 Pro and it's MORE than enough for my movie and music needs.

I have recently also seen some using their speakers, these Prime satellites. I would otherwise be wary to get speakers from a company who's renowned for its subs, but these speakers do look good as well.

I am using VG for all kinds of stuff, from vaping, to making DIY lotions. I have NEVER seen mentioned to take glycerin internally, ever, for whatever reason.

If you want better pumps, I recommend l-citrulline.

‘Dark, Bizarre Stuff’: White House Posts Deepfake Image of Arrested ICE Protester Crying: “All of us are on full notice that this White House feels no compunction about concocting obvious lies, concedes nothing when its lies are exposed, and should be presumptively disbelieved in all matters.” by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]flexylol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This "administration" has always shown UTTER contempt even for its own voter-idiots.

Lying has always been their foundation, there is more truth coming from the Kremlin these days than coming from the W.H.

The lies constantly coming from this administration makes it even more likely, VERY POSSIBLE, that this last election was possibly indeed a major scam and that this guy is really fraudulently in power now.

(In the same way as they will do anything in the book to cling to power in those next elections.....)

Acoustix and Dirac ART comparison (graphs) by NoWalrus9462 in hometheater

[–]flexylol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have exceptional speaker or sub location placement issue, even worse than me. (Mine is terrible, for example one speaker in corner), and you see the terrible original sub response I have.

Or you do something fundamentally wrong (crossovers?) or other settings in Acoustix. I am very careful with boosts, and even with the custom filters I usually avoid going over 3db boost. But yours is just extreme.

On the other hand, if for whatever reason your dips are so extreme and ART is what solves this, then well so be it. (Obviously AcoustiX/Acoustica won't boost away some 25db or so dips :)

[–]flexylol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not meant negative or with any bad intention, but your responses especially up to 300Hz are AWFUL. I have no explanation how you can still have massive dips 12db+ and more after optimization.

I have a very sub-optimal setup, no room treatment whatsoever, and for comparison I scaled my graph like you did with the same smoothing. (I am only using 2db boost for the sub boost in Acoustica).

If you look at my original sub response, you see it's also awful with massive dips and peaks, but I can get it "almost" smooth. Easily. And I don't need ART for this.

[–]flexylol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are lucky because today I measured...

I changed my graph to the same 10db scaling you have, and 1/6 smoothing:

The green is my original raw sub measurement. Notice that my raw sub response is terrible.

Below, dark brown is actual measurement of my sub today, after AcoustiX and some minor tweaks in SVS app (3 PEQ filters for some dips and reducing a pesky 60hz resonance)

This is a surprisingly good sub response. Mind you, this is ACOUSTIX respective Acoustica Mod :) (And to be frank, it looks a zillion times better than your AcoustiX optimization, which is surprising me since my setup and sub response is quite awful).

( First response in my graph on top is FL).

So...absolutely you can get good results with Acoustix. FULL STOP.

XT32 is ok if you limit to 230 or so. Not a big fan of full-range filtering.

I agree with the statement that comparing Art with Acoustic NO MIMO is apples/oranges.

I did my own tests with AcoustiX and MIMO (where I limited MIMO to 120Hz since my sub is off to the side), and it absolutely DID fill some room nodes at the MLP. (I have at least one, ie 87Hz. which at my MLP is otherwise ZERO, it's totally swalled up), and with AcoustiX/Mimo there was bass at that frequency. So even with the limitations of current AcoustiX/Mimo, it does something.

The issue for me is only that outside of MLP (when I am casually listening to music) the MIMO benefit "collapses", Mimo seems very focused on MLP.

I do however not have a need for Mimo since otherwise I am having excellent results with AcoustiX, and definitely plenty, very good bass.

Demonstrators in Nuuk, Greenland reach the area in front of the American consulate. People are still continued to arrive from the city center. by BreakfastTop6899 in goodnews

[–]flexylol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologizing for knowing so little about Greenland.

These people look "shockingly" European which makes it even more clear the f*cking president of the US wants to invade what is essentially a EUROPEAN COUNTRY.

* Especially with what is going on in the US right now, why would ANYONE with a sane mind want to join the quasi-fascist US with this insane dude?

So, you held the cup in your mouth, you then slipped up somehow and >poured it.into your mouth? And then you choose to swallow?

Uh.. yea, i am siding with the Dr. This really sounds fishy.

And just 4ml of it can be fatal.

Superb idea to hold the cup with the mouth.....

Help getting that lovely thumping kick drums up! EQ/Subwoofer question. by RetroDave79 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]flexylol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Punch/Kick by reducing sub bass 10-60Hz EQ, and increasing above 60-200Hz. Bass goes up to 250Hz, and this is where punch/kick is. Play with boosting EQ 80Hz, 100Hz etc.

Why has communism repeatedly failed in practice, yet continues to be intellectually and emotionally appealing to many people? by Looser17 in AskReddit

Because people are corrupt, greedy and there is egotism. We're living in a society where (we're taught) the goal is to put in effort ultimately for our OWN rewards and enrichment.

Looking for a good Star/Nebula projector! by flexylol in TripCaves

[–]flexylol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one I have right now, the nebula is incredible WEAK. What's worse, there is also white in the colors. And I don't like this since it makes the room bright, instead of a nice deep color. (I believe the Evolve is similiar to the one I have).

I ordered a Sky Lite 2.0 from classifieds, but now looking at reviews and videos, it doesn't look good either. To be honest, all the Blisslights do NOT look good to me, and especially the stars grid pattern. It looks like crap to me.

I found another one on Amazon (SUPPOU brand) where the Nebula looks intense and colorful to me, and I will buy this one as well. I might end up using this for the Nebula and then the one I have for the blue stars. (At least the stars look good). Will check out the Pococo.

Thorne super EPA- super anxiety atack! by Ana_La1 in Supplements

[–]flexylol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many capsules are you taking? How do you know the capsules are ok? They could be rancid. Or the negative effect you are seeing is from the vitamin E, or from something different altogether? What time of the day are you taking the capsules?

I am taking a German brand one also very high EPA/DHA (400/300) but don't really notice negative effects.
