@AdamCSharp "Spring is in the air!" "Why?"

The Dutch word for a horse breeder is paardenfokker (paarden = horses, fokker = breeder) and that's all the context you need for this terrible joke... ENGLISHMAN: what do you do? DUTCHMAN: I fok horses ENGLISHMAN: pardon? DUTCHMAN: yes paarden

@Thana_Enosys @FlareNetworks The first answers are mandatory and cannot be skipped. If you want a representative response, also include "other...” and "nothing" as valid answers. My choices were not listed (XDC) and are too small anyway.

@FlareNetworks Oh, and if you are on mobile and really refuse to scroll through the options, there is a short answer at the bottom. But...I would really prefer you not use it if at all possible 😅

Kim Jong-Un broke protocol by inviting the South Korean president to cross the demarcation line and, after a brief hesitation, took him by the hand to cross over to the other side together.

They’re preparing to nuke Iran and people don’t realize it’s closer than ever For 39 days, the US has dropped its heaviest, $3.5 million GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. And it’s failing. Fordow is buried 300 feet under a solid mountain. The laws of physics dictate that no conventional weapon on earth can penetrate it. So what happens when an empire realizes it can’t win conventionally, its aircraft carriers are retreating from cheap ballistic missiles, and the global economy is crashing? They dust off the Dial-a-Yield. Right now, military think-tanks are quietly discussing the deployment of the B61-12. It is a tactical nuclear gravity bomb. The US has been quietly stockpiling them in Europe and the Middle East. It has an earth-penetrating warhead and a dial-a-yield feature, meaning they can lower the kiloton blast to make it seem usable. In 2006, Pulitzer-winning journalist Seymour Hersh leaked that the Bush administration had drawn up plans to use these exact tactical nukes on Iran’s underground sites. (Yes 2006) The Pentagon was forced to shelf it because of the outrage. 20 years later, that exact plan is back on the table. Because Washington and Tel Aviv are currently trapped. They can't secure the Strait of Hormuz without a draft (which the public won't accept), and they can't destroy Iran's nuclear program with regular bombs. They are realizing that admitting defeat means the end of American unipolar hegemony. And history shows that declining empires would rather risk the literal end of the world than admit they lost to a regional power. They told you this was a surgical strike. We are now one bad Tuesday away from the first use of a nuclear weapon in combat since 1945, just to save the political egos of men who will watch it happen from an underground bunker. You are paying $10 for gas and funding the dress rehearsal for World War 3

@lichtfeldstudio @janusch_patas But I will keep trying to tweak IGS+ to get the same result as ADC. Some details it does get better, so it does have advantages.

@lichtfeldstudio @janusch_patas I tried IGS+ again (high res object photography) and the output is blurrier, has more floaters, training is slower and infrequently crashes. Then I looked at ADC again, and even with half the gaussians it's cleaner, crispier and more detailed. Please keep ADC. (Love LichtFeld!)

Some updates: - Depth Box selection is merged and will be in the next nighly (hit x and use alt+mw)! - LFS strategy is renamed: MRNF - ADC is dead (removed) - USD export/import is merged - VRAM improvements are merged

Netanyahu just indicated his intention imminently to use nuclear weapons against Iran. Any nuclear power in existential danger - as Israel clearly now is - would do so. This would be a world-altering moment however. Not only would hundreds of thousands of Iranians perish in the blast, fall out, and subsequent nuclear winter but the entire Gulf, US satraps included, would be blighted forever. US public opinion would be stress tested beyond endurance. European governments, all of them, would have to answer for their enabling of such an unambiguously genocidal act. Russia and China would draw certain conclusions…

Israel and the US have attacked 9 hospitals in Iran. Savages.

@indigojackal Looks great, did pirates eat this too?

@ultra_arcane Yeah

🆘 We’re under fire now Israeli tanks are shooting at our tents, displacement camps and homes in Al Zaytoun neighbourhood of the Gaza City.. Bullets are everywhere over our heads..

The Washington Post laid off its entire award-winning photo staff. Every photographer, fired. The WaPo photo staff has won 5 Pulitzers, including as recently as 2019. With a newsroom that still has 300 journalists, how do you produce a daily report with…no photographers? —>

Imprisoned by the israelis and suffering months of medical neglect and abuse, Khaled Saifi from Bethlehem dies just one week after his release

We are approaching the End Times. Prepare accordingly.

@dlLambo Sykes-Picot on repeat

The Gaza board of peace...has no Palestinian member. Not one. But has: - A war criminal - 3 property developers - A former CEO of Mastercard - 2 billionaires And our politicians tell us this is a good idea and a ceasefire still exists. Humanity is lost.

This is why it’s important to call them Nazis too
