Otho

I am on a life-long journey to make the rest of you deal with my excess entropy.

@MarwynnGaming @Litzbloodstorm @fandompulse No you've just turned social issues into political ones. It didn't have to be this way, but many groups have been psyoped over the years to believe that they must turn their issues political in order to solve them. Of course this is just another measure of control.

@Litzbloodstorm @fandompulse You're too fucking thick to realize the three are all intertwined, and that you usually need Political influence to fix Societal and Social issues

Star Trek star William Shatner on politics: "Star Trek wasn't political. I'm not political; I can't even vote in the US. So to put a geocentric label on interstellar characters is silly." Is this how celebrities should act?

@Sosowski None, these are constant char arrays.

How many strings are in this array? Hint: it's not six.

@johnniac_3 @nkreu113r @NathanpmYoung @travis4nh It clearly just inflates it away in this model.

@nkreu113r @NathanpmYoung @travis4nh How would that work? The government buys the assets then takes the money back from you? So the government just seizes assets? And then what, resells them?

@grok @martyrmade @barnes_law @grok How many school children were killed by Japanese attacks in the following war?

Zero. The attack was on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, with schools closed. Among ~68 civilian deaths (mostly from U.S. anti-aircraft friendly fire), 11 were children ages 16 and younger (infants to teens), all at home or in civilian areas—not at school. No schools were targeted or hit with students present.

I’m trying to avoid posting for Lent, but I want to be clear about my position, as it seems we may be on the brink of decisions of historic consequence: The US & Israel were the ones who launched a sneak attack against Iran. Trump himself compared it to the attack on Pearl Harbor. We opened the war with an attack that killed nearly 200 little girls at school. If the Japanese had done that at Pearl Harbor, it would still be on page one of every history book recounting the attack to this day. To then punish the civilian population of Iran by destroying power and water infrastructure, which can only be intended to cause mass civilian suffering and death, simply because they have not capitulated, is a war crime of the highest order. Soldiers, sailors, and airmen are under no obligation to follow such an order, and shame on any officer who orders them to do so.

@philthistweet @PeterB585337060 @darthnugget @martinmbauer That is entirely incorrect.

@PeterB585337060 @darthnugget @martinmbauer This may be an even bigger reveal: there's not a single non-computable function that physicists use to describe the laws of physics.

The computer scientist understands how closely simulations can resemble everyday reality, the physicist understands that the Universe, on closer inspection, does not

@MrMosis @memcculloch @EthicalSkeptic Dude the spin of earth is held along an axis by mechanical momentum, not magnetism.

@topoproc @memcculloch @EthicalSkeptic What are the forces that hold a mouse trap in place before it is engaged? Catalysts and triggers should not be thought of as singular causes that are exhaustively explanatory. Except in sophistry or strawman debates

An interesting theory by @EthicalSkeptic is that when the Earth's magnetic field collapses or just reverses (which it does every 10,000 yrs or so) the magnetic field is no longer able to keep the planet upright and it can rotate. Unnerving, but quite a fascinating thesis.

@MrMosis @memcculloch @EthicalSkeptic It's literally what he said.

@topoproc @memcculloch @EthicalSkeptic Why do you create a strawman? You should try the steelman variety

@wil_da_beast630 People forget alchemy was kind of reasonable then too. We didn't have chemistry yet. No reason to fault Newton for thinking and experimenting with it, IMO.

Thank God he did the real shit too?

@KOTuathail @CyberRacheal @sanjeevdusgotra Switch is second. It sends to default gateway on itself which tells it which interface to send through, which then gets it to the switch.

@CyberRacheal @sanjeevdusgotra It would have to be the switch the g/w is after the switch

A computer has an IP of 192.168.1.15. To send data to a website on the Internet, which device must it send the data to first? A. The Switch B. The Default Gateway C. The DNS Server D. The Modem

@coah80 Debian release version and never look back

might make the switch to linux this year ngl... what do i use - mint sucks - pop os sucks - nobara is okay - dank linux is lowkey a contender 😭 - cachy i like - nix maybe

@EastTNMama Depends on the state. I am at about $5 per pound and my last half beef came in at barely 400 pounds hanging weight! So you can try to maximize or just be happy. I do grain finish too.

So, my grass fed half cow ended up being 250 pounds of meat for around $6.40 a pound. What do you think?

@blind_via Almost all of the "weird stuff" in electromagnetism shows up in the magnetic vector potential, which is the thing people love to forget about. But really you can describe fully electromagnetism by just considering moving charges across relativistic reference frames.

I was about to make dumbass post about electric fields combining with magnetic fields, as an intentional joke of not understanding. But decided to try hard to understand first and succeeded a little. The idea that an electric field creates a magnetic field, and a magnetic field also creates an electric field. Then you can create an infinite loop of them creating each other back and forth over and over again. That is what an electro-magnetic wave is. The wave is the oscillation back and forth between the two field types without loss of energy because they can freely transform between the two. Some kind of symmetrical balancing between them that makes this possible.

@sdamico It's cool you are making one but these adapters have existed for many years.

yeah actually there is ... we call it "impulse core" should be in home depot this year too

@MorganCatha @blind_via Dude is just confused. The field strength can be zero at a point but if there's a potential then there's still a gradient and so the field exists and is changing over space and time potentially.

@blind_via Who said they exist without a field being present?

If electromagetic potentials exist without a field being present. Doesn't that mean we proved the aether is real?

@Irish_Eyes1 @wil_da_beast630 Boys and men would literally hide and share porn mags and pamphlets, you didn't know this? It goes waaaay back.

@wil_da_beast630 Serious question since the online discourse makes it seem that it’s damn near impossible for men to live without porn. What did you all do before the internet? I presume most men weren’t frequenting skeezy smut shops?

This isn't a "controversial opinion." Women say this all the damned time. There are two catches. (1) There are very few such men. 81% of men and 55% of women sometimes watch legal erotica; more women read hard smut. The outliers tend to be very religious. (2) Very few men are going to agree not to masturbate or use erotica IF not totally sexually satisfied in a relationship. When I poll, almost no ben actually believe their girl thinks Brandi Love "might be trafficked;" the strong and likely accurate perception is that this sort of language is used to justify being a mediocre partner. The ladies can reply, and make equally valid points, but it's worth keeping these^ sort of real baselines in mind.

@chronark Why is this weird to you?

wait, rust's standard library doesn't provide a tls implementation? are you telling me I need a library to do https requests?

@wil_da_beast630 @PerryALPHA Shh.

@PerryALPHA Beautiful sand beach a block away, gents. Indiana Dunes, better than 95% of what's on the coasts and much more mid-western, is two hours away. The Great Lakes are seas.

Alpha males love Chicago's concrete beaches

@vermaden Although I will say that ipv6 network configuration with multiple interfaces has sent me into a few walls. I ran into a problem using SlaaC with multiple interfaces. I don't recall the issue, but it's in past me's commented rc.conf. One reason why I have ipv6 static IPs.

@vermaden That was the move. LAGG/bridge in rc.conf. Much easier to maintain. FreeBSD never fails! Replaced old i7 guts with 1950X system. It just worked. 10 drives, 3 pools, reordered: ZFS booted. Network is only reconfig: count and firmware. Added Chelsio dual SFP+: just worked. Cheers

Yo @vermaden, I'm in situation where I need to assign IPs on boot to a "vm switch"-created interface that's attached to a LAG lagg0. I have cloned_interface in rc.conf to set up lagg0. Handbook says I'm supposed to assign IPs to bridge, not interface, right? I have vm_delay="10" to give time for lagg0 to be ready before vm brings up bridge. What's the appropriate way to assign the IPs in this case? rc.local script?
