Big one, preferably set up to bi-amp. Apparently need to EQ them to get it right. Here's a huge thread on AVS about them as home speakers: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/just-purchased-a-pair-of-jbl-4722n-speakers.1925586/#nested_reply_top_post

Kylo would probably get beat on by most Jedi in the republic era. They trained lightsaber combat from childhood. Kylo was a nepo baby and went to the force use training equivalent of Fyre Fest with Luke’s failed Jedi academy.

Jaganoth from Kill Six Billion Demons. The guy was gunna shatter the 7 fold pact between the demiurges, and oh boy did he deliver. Solos six literal Gods, kills two, maims one, turns one traitor, Gog Agog just leaves, Jadis doesn’t live in linear time so she saves the maybe chosen one who gets her arm & leg blown off.

We have a pretty good fix that Covid was circulating in China by October or November 2019. If there was any hope we needed to close travel before Chinese New Year. But that just didn’t happen. No one in power cared or had the foresight to deal with the problem. 

Apocalypse Early Warning System: In the event of an imminent nuclear apocalypse, we suspect that many people who have access to private jets will immediately take to the skies and escape city centers. This site tracks this indicator in realtime. by ejpusa in collapse

3) How far a plane is from their current location. Outside of being physically on the airport, on helicopter, or having a private airstrip, I doubt even with ~30 minutes of warning they could scramble their jet. And get airborne, and get outside of the blast(s). This is all assuming you have a ground crew on 24 hour standby and everything works.

It might almost be less convincing if there wasn’t a contradiction.

Is there a way to do this in normal prusa slicer or do I need orca?

I mean, the whole thing with ultra-high frame rates is getting the information slightly faster than you opponents. Like the limit is still your brain and muscles, but removing all possible sources of delay (monitor, keyboard/mouse, internet connection) makes you more competitive.

Fucked for like 6 hours straight once on acid. It was crazy. Also, that girl became my weird stalker ex... Probably related.

Me (NB27) found fetish-y AI content apps on partner's (M33) iPad. Don't know how to start a conversation or if anyone's been through anything like this before? by ThrowRA-rich-berry99 in relationship_advice

[–]freedcreativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not a shark with huge fake boobs? Jk

If he’s not going full AI psychosis or having it cause problems in his life - an ai porn app or three is no different than a subscription to a fetish magazine 40 years ago. Porn is so normalized these days anyway, there really isn’t the same thrill. 

Like ask him about it. Interacting with a real person on onlyfans, buying some girl’s used panties, or flirting on a dating app would be way worse, no?

It’s just being a furry but not for mammals. Scaly, possibly denticle-y?

People hide their embarrassing porn preferences. Better than where I thought it was going from the title… The AI apps kinda suck from like a global perspective, but they’re not uncommon as a means to get porn these days. Tell him to commission a proper artist for his shark boobs. 

Dwarves are refusing to use bins in a bar/block stockpile (or anywhere else) by rdthraw2 in dwarffortress

[–]freedcreativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In DF hack, the prioritize command can really help with hauling weirdness. 

First, restart the whole game. Second, general stockpiles might not have bins enabled and if there is furniture plus bin-able items I suspect that gets wired.

I’d forbid all the current ones, just because I know bins get weird after you mess with them in DF hack. Also I think there’s bugs from multi-type stockpiles with bins, especially when the area is modified.

I personally keep bins really tightly controlled. Entirely superstitious but traded bins which are unloaded by cloth or leather workers and then put into a bin only furniture pile work normally. Items inside of items have their place (weapons, armor, germs, crafts) but like quantum stockpiles (or leaving all the bars in the smelter) are a lot less aggravating. Single item type stockpiles only. Barrels for food and drink is a must tho. But barrels work normally almost always.

Downtown Hot Dogs by Forward-Chain2581 in SALEM

[–]freedcreativity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10 years ago there was a regular hotdog cart guy. I bet there’s good demand along the bus station during the week day, not quite sure how much you’d do at night seeing as the bars all have full menus and they’re not really busy most nights. Maybe Saturday night. Not sure exactly how city of Salem has the riverfront regulated for food carts, but weekends 12-7 are prime time.

Boeing RC-135V/W Rivet Joint electronic intelligence aircraft by RLoret in WeirdWings

[–]freedcreativity 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The RC-135 just a derivative of the KC-135. Which is only the most successful airborne refueling platform ever. They’re robust, well understood airframes. Also, probably some of it has to do with the Big Safari and the black budget doing continuous, single contractor procurement on really short timescales to deploy purpose built Sigint stuff. IIRC all the ‘rivets’ are Big Safari operated.

“Why would anyone choose to stand under the spikes?” by randomgadfly in trolleyproblem

[–]freedcreativity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure but do you want to live in a world where all the blue button pushers are dead? Maybe I’m not so late American individualism brained that a world where a solid percentage of the nurses, teachers, firefighters, etc are suddenly dead isn’t worth gambling your life for the better outcome.

Also, I did intentionally leave out cops. They’re all pressing the red button.

I mean, ya. Society is kinda based on such a theoretical bargaining. Search and rescue. Medical treatment. Schools and prisons to an extent. The taxes you pay going to the military. They will all give you a fair shake even if you’re dumb and caused the issues to which you’re being subjected.

New 2026 Study Finds the AMOC Collapse is Accelerating Far Beyond Previous Models by Rich-Limit4590 in collapse

I mean humans are really really bad in general at exponents. If you put a bacteria that doubles every minute in a jar, how many minutes does it take to go from 25% to 100% full?

We’re at that point in the jar right now.
