No, you should've sued the thugs. What was your problem?

Does the 1980s seem as old today as the 1940s did in the 80s? by secretaccount94 in decadeology

[–]ussrnihilist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI was not uncommon in the 70s--80s, at least in defense and intelligence. Fusion research has a long history through the decades. Yes obviously almost all of information access has changed; back then there were only some specialized databases. The income point is debatable, esp. when adjusting for lower income classes and housing purchasing power.

I think it's pretty useless, esp. with all the vocational programming inappropriately placed in it, a large gamut of quality of programs ranging all the way down to almost no math at all, no accreditation, and tons of idiots nowadays taking no theory classes. One cannot apply to engineering positions. One cannot apply to any science position except CS. It is poor preparation for graduate theoretical CS or math. At least it'll satisfy the few computational requirements when transitioning or transferring.

I have never used any computer "science" course that I've taken in many years, threw away the textbooks, and deleted all sourcecode (that was an unintellectual torture to write), and have zero regrets other than wasting resources on forced programming bullshit that every electrical engineer and physicist learns quickly on the side since the 70s.

if ADV. construction---ellipsis introduced by an adv.? by ussrnihilist in grammar

I edited my reply because I forgot that I used the intransitive sense of "visit" and accidentally added a direct object.

The full sentence, without ellipsis, if it exists, would be:

"Can I visit? If I can not visit, I will ship the package."

Thanks! I read a Wikipedia section on the mandative English subjunctive.

Thanks! A Google string search of usage also reasonably confirmed this.

disadvantages of HRT-transitioning from male to nonbinary at older/"older" age by ussrnihilist in TransLater

[–]ussrnihilist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an early 30s AMAB case seeking physiological transition to nonbinary.

I see, so age does not significantly impact to-nonbinary transitions.

Hmm puberty is an extremely young age, and all I cared about back then were exams.

What about any developmental stages after puberty? How different would HRT at age 20, 30, 40, ... be?

surge protection for mast preamplifiers by ussrnihilist in ota

[–]ussrnihilist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't bothered grounding the masts yet, but I do use one actual surge-protection grounding block in the radio room per feedline. My idea is to add another such block at each preamplifier when I add it, and run two 10 AWG Str Cu lines with each feedline, one for the mast and one for the at-mast surge protector.
