alternately: "As we are now forbidden from using the gaza health ministry, let us cite this study published in Lancet that puts the number of dead at “up to 186,000” from all factors including direct bombings and the ongoing famine created by the IDF’s siege.
The Gaza Ministry of Health has been the most accurate reporter in the region for decades, to the point that even Israel and the IDF use their numbers. If anything, their current estimates err on the low side as a result of so much infrastructure being destroyed in Gaza and the health ministry only counting bodies that have been found. This study published in Lancet estimates that “up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza” after combining all direct and indirect factors such as the ongoing famine created by the siege.
me: aww yea I’m gonna get some hotel waffles this morning
hotel: sir it is 9:01 we are closed.
It needs another category, “Attempted European Colonization”.
You’re technically correct.
I suppose Japan and South Korea get off on the technicality that they’re puppet governments of an anglo country rather than the colonies of a European one.
that we fought to protect you from the French
highly flexible use of the word “protect” there.
I don’t think Tarn has ever recoded to allow multi thread processing, so everything runs on a single CPU core (my info may be out of date)
Dwarf Fortress started adding multithreading last year along with an engine update. This is in large part to Tarn hiring outside help to work on the Steam release, and the game has never been better.
I also wanna say that the Steam version packages a full tutorial which will get you off the ground and also cleaned up a lot of the old game logic that was inconsistent and confusing (like how some rooms were “rooms” and others were “zones” and still others were “places”), and now I’d say that getting a base up and running is pretty intuitive since most things work just about the way you’d expect them to and it’s only “hard” if you intentionally make it that way by embarking on a dangerous biome or doing a challenge run.
You’ll still die a lot though, 'cuz that’s the fun part.
You know, since e-mail is a fucking wasteland of unread messages and spam, faxing doesn’t seem so bad.
Both lines in the meme are from Theoden, the missing line from Aragorn is “6,000 will not be enough to break the lines of Mordor.”
It’s not a plot hole. The oathbreakers had satisfied their oaths and were owed peaceful rest. If Aragorn had kept them around after they had fulfilled their end of the bargain, then he would have been breaking an oath, and the fact that he doesn’t even though it seems like the logical thing to do is key to Aragorn’s goodness as a character and worthiness to be king.
So like, weren’t these guys just a week prior to this fighting an existential battle against tens of thousands of Uruks? Shouldn’t he know about how many soldiers and horses he has left and that they’re extremely depleted?
AFAIK FF is implementing Manifest V3 so that those add on developers who are migrating to it don’t lose FF compatibility. As long as they don’t deprecate Manifest V2 for those that need it, ad blockers will continue to be usable.
edit: although I’ll add that there’s a major problem here that Mozilla simply can’t address. If ad block stops working on chromium browsers, and ad block users all migrate to Firefox, then that makes it a lot easier for Google or others to target users of those browsers and deny them access to their sites. Imagine if Google goes scorched earth on all browsers that support manifest v2.
I won’t deny that people can do multiple things at once, I just don’t agree with the premise that voting matters in the current paradigm.
If you had enough people to do the thing, then you would be able to protect members of the group at a local level while national orgs realign and/or get replaced.
But nobody has a large enough group of people to do the thing. In the absence of a large enough group of people to do the thing, voting is a purely personal decision that will not effect the outcome.
As I’ve said elsewhere, to fix it from within the system itself you would need a bloc of people willing to punish one of the parties for moving right by withholding their votes and their donations. To fix it from without the system is also possible, but would require some “authoritarianism” in the form of people with guns. Anything else is just people flailing around ineffectually and getting mad at others who aren’t flailing in the ineffectual way that they prefer.
Either way you’ve got the same problem: getting a large enough group of people together who are willing to do the thing. Socialists of all stripes have been trying to crack that egg for over a hundred years and the only ones who had any success were the ones that managed to get the peasants on their side because peasants have a certain amount of class consciousness that proles don’t.
If choosing red or blue doesn’t work, and choosing another option also doesn’t work, then what good does feeling self righteous about your decision to pick one over the other do? Unless you’re suggesting that the shitty reality of our situation is that we’re fucked and nothing will work at all no matter what - which is a level of defeatism that I don’t think is very helpful either.
You could put the Sega CD or 32X into this meme and it would still work, the Dreamcast was just the last in a series of flops.
I suggest a counter-scam. “I’m interested in your offer but first I need to see a credit report from this specific website…”
