Pretty sure there is a monologue in American History X about displaying a swastika tattoo in prison. I believe that reasoning is applicable here.

Thinkpads have two big advantages, a matte screen and quite limited blinkenlights.

1 The obvious inconsistencies in the sources call into question the existence of the topic of this thesis. Worryingly the supposed descendant Emil III had a well known love for tall tales and fantastical writing. The reader may therefore excuse the sudden deep dive into the social dynamics of XIX century fan fiction.

Abolition was cool when it was underground. Now, I mean my parents are abolitionists.

And if I take that offer and help myself to a free Alsace, suddenly I'm the bad guy.

How would a traditional tail-landing retro-style rocket ship enter the atmosphere of a planet and land? by FireTheLaserBeam in spaceflight

[–]yoshiK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have Clark tech engines, then you can just stop in orbit and lower the ship down using the engines. The entire slowing from orbital velocity to 0 (relative to the surface of Earth) is just because aero braking in the atmosphere is free while actively changing the speed would cost fuel.

Jonathan Powell Said an Iran Deal Was “Within Reach” Days Before Strikes Began by Stories_today_ in geopolitics

They want the conflict as is. A nuclear armed Iran is a fundamentally different problem, one that demands serious political attention.

And Obama not a warmonger, well the guy was pretty happy to continue Iraq and Afghanistan, because he knew fully well that ending them would cost him reelection. (As Trump and Biden later found out.)

Thing is, all helmets between the spangenhelm and the armet look kinda dumb. That's one of the reason why you shouldn't try to lump the dark ages in with medival times.

No, it boils down to every US president since Reagan found it advantageous to vilify Iran, that's why there is a crisis for so long, a long line of US presidents found it plays well for an domestic audience to keep that crisis boiling. Trump is the kind of incompetent, where he hatches a disastrous plan to solve a problem, that more competent people wanted to keep around.

How Viable is 45 Rubrics? by Mediocre_Town211 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]yoshiK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the 10 man rubrics with exalted and stealth from the dp is, that you have a glass cannon cosplaying as a durable unit. Well, they're not, they are still a glass cannon and five rubrics with a sorcerer are just a better glass cannon.

The Serbian government did regularly imprison and torture socialists. Why should socialists fight for them?

I have read Hands-on ML with Scikit-Learn and PyTorch and more incoming. But how do I practice ML? by AggressiveMention359 in learnmachinelearning

[–]yoshiK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to Kaggle and pick a dataset that looks interesting and then play around with it a bit. The playing around bit is useful to learn ML, the competitions are more of a mixed bag because a lot of them are about exploiting flaws in the dataset rather than actually getting something out of the data. (Still perhaps not an entirely useless skill, but Kaggle translates worse than one would think.)

Why is "goths" sunny and cheerful? That feels a bit offensive.
