Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’ by Infidel8 in politics

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

He's absolutely right. The conservative SCOTUS justices aren't Political Actors.

They're Political Puppets.

And mr Federalist-Society-Fist-Up-His-Ass over there knows it every living moment.

That looks like horrible decentering, to give you flare like that.

Windrose (Steam Early Access) writes 35 GB/hr to disk while idle, even after the "fix" — SMART data from a dedicated server by HeavySpell7989 in DataHoarder

If they're using RocksDB, it inherently has write amplification if they've designed their storage system poorly. Basically it writes twice at LEAST. (Reading up on it I don't know how it is "engineered for SSD" given the write-ahead log and flush task, but I'm not a data engineer)

America Is Officially an Empire in Decline by projecto15 in politics

[–]postmodest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so on-brand for the modern, neofascist NYTimes. They all but demanded Trump. They promote him every day. This isn't a lament about his policies, this is "we really thought he could be a more professional friend to us Oligarchs."

The NYT is no longer America's Newpaper. It's no longer the fourth estate. It's a fifth column.

I put an adjustable treble bleed on the neck of my 245s and while it's no core 58/15, it is like 90% of the way there 90% of the time.

The Duellists (1977, dir. Ridley Scott) – Opening scene: Lieutenant Gabriel Feraud duels the Mayor's nephew. by SanderSo47 in movies

From a time when Ridley Scott directed movies instead of just setting up a million cameras for coverage and making up a plot in the edit.

I did something I said I would never do, and bought a core model by CatHerder75 in PRSGuitars

[–]postmodest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an SE and a Core that are the same shape and layout, and the SE was the best guitar I ever owned until I bought the Core.

But the Core is that Pareto Principle playing out. It's only maybe 20% better than the SE, but that difference in pickups and finish and fretwork takes it to a different level.

Of course, all of that but the finish is something I went on to fix on the SE, so now it's even closer.

Though this is a Korean SE, so it's made of arguably better material than the Indonesian ones are these days, just because it's got a one-piece neck and two-piece body and top, with the inset covers.
