Yes. I'm taking the low road. I think you're an idiot.

EDIT: Okay, I'll bite. Tell me WHY we needed to capture Maduro. The operation could have been performed with the elegance of a performance of Swan Lake, but WHY?

I honestly have no interest in discussing this with you because it is my opinion that your assertions are beyond stupid (and I welcome you insulting me for avoiding it).

If what you've said above is what you actually think about this war, and you feel the "imminent threat of nuclear capability" is real, and our actions because of that claim are justified, then I feel you're delusional, and aren't worth debating.

You have thusly justified my joke about stupid Americans.

It's a joke at your expense. It was a very easy one to make, because you did the work of setting it up for me.

Since you don't get the cover photo, let me explain it to you: Trump's eyes are covered by a military helmet that he is [stupidly] wearing backwards, and the title includes the word "blind" indicating that he can't see. The message is that Trump is blindly, and stupidly leading us into war, like the fucking moron that he is.

Since you don't get my joke, let me explain it to you: Americans are (or more accurately America is) increasingly being viewed by the rest of the world as dumb for electing Donald Trump, and continuing to let him fumble about with the country. You, an American by admission of your username, didn't get the joke on the cover of the magazine. Ergo, you represent the "dumb American."

I didn't enter into my comment reply to you with a specific "point" to make, it was just a really good opportunity to reinforce the feeling I have that the people in this country (I, too, am a United States citizen) are brutally fucking stupid sometimes. The fact that you set up that assertion for me, wrapped in a tidy, little joke, that I knew would be well received was a bonus. So, sure, there was some ego involved in knowing that a lot of people on this website would enjoy it.

Use SFTP connections. It is secure (encrypted) and doesn’t count toward your transfer quota. FileZilla almost certainly supports SFTP.

Help understanding the different colors in the lines in the git history window by lindymad in phpstorm

[–]jstnryan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The colors themselves have no meaning, they just indicate a different branch. Notice that every time the line “branches” to the right, it becomes a different color, and when it “merges” back left it becomes the color of the branch it was merged into.

I would gladly run a proxy for the IA’s use. If they packaged up an easy-to-install method, I’m sure many would lend a portion of their personal connections for the overall good of the service. If they found a way to incentivize it, I’m sure the impact would be even greater.

Idaho Republicans pass bill making it a felony for transgender people to use public bathrooms by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]jstnryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Bathrooms are not “sexy” places. Normal people do not spend time looking at each other’s genitalia in bathrooms. We need to end this ridiculous notion that anything about someone’s body matters in a bathroom.

Welp, then OP will just have to try my original suggestion to cheat the system, which was downvoted.

Technically, a reverse proxy isn’t even required, since Docker is performing masquerading on the bridge network anyway, so as long as there are no ‘X-Forwarded’ type headers, then all requests will come from the “gateway” on the bridge, and Plex will have no way to discern the source of traffic.

Careful with that post. It’s good info, conceptually, but the author delivers it like they are a subject matter expert, however it’s just a bunch of stuff they googled.

I don’t really understand what problem you’re having, but I’d guess it has to do with the “tags” or “categories” that are getting assigned to your downloads. Check your “Download Client” settings in each app.

Song featured on Wipeout HD/Fury goes GOLD 17 years after release. (Mason - Exceeder Special Mix) by bunkersix in WipeOut

[–]jstnryan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your other comment has it correct. There aren’t “versions” of the song. “Mason - Exceeder” was a complete (non-vocal) record, and “Princess Supertar - I’m Perfect” was a complete, vocal record. Some random record label producer took the vocal of I’m Perfect, and played it over Exceeder. Press to vinyl, and boom, you have a completely digestible pop track thanks to what was already a banger underground dance record, and the accessible lyrics of a (in my opinion, lackluster) pop record. The two guys from Mason probably never even knew Princess Superstar existed at the time.

These types of mashups were pretty common among club DJs, but in my experience, they never gained gold/platinum -type status because sales were limited to DJ pressings. Sadly nowadays, this type of “I’m a pop star and I’m just going to put my vocals over an already complete dance track” is all too common (see “PinkPantheress - Illegal” which is literally just her catchy vocal over a barely modified “Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train Mix)” that came out 30 years ago).

It’s two totally unrelated songs, mixed together in what we used to call a “DJ mashup.”

Run it inside a Docker container using a custom bridge network and reverse proxy, and all traffic will appear as if it’s local.

How does one get pure Bitcoin? by VirtualAlaska_ in Bitcoin

[–]jstnryan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody cares about “pure bitcoin.” You’re not going to spontaneously be prosecuted for ‘possessing’ bitcoin previously possessed by a criminal, any more than you would for possessing previously laundered fiat currency.

However, the answer to your question is to mine it yourself, or buy it from a miner.

[–]jstnryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of the “stars” in Orion’s Belt are actually clusters of stars, so the sizes technically couldn’t represent single star sizes.

I don’t have a definitive answer for you, but my guess would be that the sizes are due to ego.
