I’ve never met any Minecraft player that played Story Mode, but a few had primary school siblings that did.

Except, as far as I can tell, the system is designed such that citizens can’t make them change it-- what are you going to do, vote for nobody and force the government to fix it’s shit before electing a new president? I mean, you could revolt but I think we all know how quickly the government would act to squash any meaningful attempt to. And if Project 2025 is allowed to play out, then military can be dispatched to handle simple protests instead of the police, so good luck pressuring the government to do anything at that point.

They already put snipers on rooftops at every University for the Palestine protests. Supposedly this was for public safety as there was intel that things would turn violent, but who really knows the truthfulness of such intel or where the order came down from? When the military becomes your police, this act would pale in comparison.

Remember this when you go to the polls, or when you are considering not to.

Are homemade PCBs really that effective? I’d wanted to try my hand at them but never could settle whether it was worth attempting.

You have it wrong, which really shows what you stand for:

Cloudflare refused to block KiwiFarms as there was no evidence of criminal activity or violation of their policies, and doing so would tarnish their reputation in regards to free speech. They did stop hosting KiwiFarms, in September of 2022 (you can find their statement here) in response to a libelous pressure campaign ran by Keffals when she/they/it found out users were pulling out receipts of it engaging in lewd conversation with minors and providing them with DIY hormone replacement therapy kits without any medical oversight or parental consent.

And KF did not attack Keffals out of nowhere, it was only after she started engaging with Chris-chan as she was attempting to use him to boost her own reputation at a time when he was already in a perilous mind.

I’m not sure exactly where you got the “threatening trans people” from, that is the first I’ve heard of it. I know of one incident that is much more grave and potentially what you are referring to, but your reference leaves out almost the entire context of that one particular incident and there have been no repeats of it to my knowledge.

I’m not a fan of KiwiFarms, but they did not earn their censorship. It was the result of a successful attempt by a revisionist career troll to cover their tracks when they realized their goose was about to get cooked, nothing more. If you truly stand for free speech, you would realize just how dangerous the precedent set by such an unreliable source as Keffals is.

And yes, I realize that if my comment gains enough traction, it and its army will be at my throat and by no doubt have doxxed me in no time if they so choose. But that’s not going to keep me from preventing people like you from twisting the narrative.

You really think it took any time at all to write that? I was on Reddit for more than a decade, writing diatribes is second nature to me.

Besides, at least I put some thought behind my comments which is obviously more than can be said about some particular individuals.

oh aren’t you a treat. For a second I almost had you mistaken for one the few Moskal typewriter monkeys who remembered to bring a joke book, but now I’m beginning to worry that you’re own of my those fellow constituents of ours who’s succumbed to the brain rot.

At least we won’t have to worry about you voting for a few more years, judging by the way you act kiddo. Or perhaps you are old enough, but the polling place is too sus for your precious intellect.

Word of advice though, if you’d want any hopes of being employable or perhaps even making IRL friends, ditch whatever this is you think you’re doing with your attitude, it just ain’t working in your favor. While you’re at it, might also help to learn the definition of the word “untenable”-- if you need a visual example, any mirror should do the trick.

Anyway, maybe put down the smartphone and walk a natural trail or visit the library bud. Based on your comments, you owe it to yourself badly. I mean, if you fancy yourself a socialist then why aren’t you taking advantage of the freely available public recreational services that our tax dollars fund to live a better life? Everyone else is, and it makes dealing with this late stage capitalist hellscape just a bit more tolerable.

World’s oldest recorded diatribe

I’m confident enough in that to put my money where my mouth is.

SpaceX has been very transparent about their testing procedures and it is established that testing locations are always evacuated for any kind of test, as is required by the FAA. If you really wanna cast doubt on this, then why don’t we put some money on it?

Elon founded SpaceX in 2002. He said he wanted to build reusable, cost effective space platform where rocket boosters could land themselves and be refurbished with low turn-around times to fly multiple missions.

People laughed at the idea of a rocket that could land itself upright. And after countless tests that resulted in magnificent fiery failures and flops, a private American company is now responsible for launching crew and cargo to the ISS so we don’t have to rely on Russia or ELA alone, and has more recently gone on to develop the largest rocket ever made.

In the 22 years since it’s inception, SpaceX has designed it’s own:

• Rockets
• Engines
• Rocket Propellant
• Satellites and base stations
• Bespoke robust communications network
• Ground support structure (including a moving robotic tower named “Mechanical”)
• Crewed mission vehicle platform
• The world’s biggest fucking rocket

Say whatever you want about his beliefs, his opinions, his shit takes-- point me to another company that has done even half of that in that amount of time, or had nearly as monumental of an impact on the global space industry and America’s access to space in the last two decades.

And if y’all haven’t yet already, do yourselves a favor and look up NASASpaceflight on YouTube, watch their most viewed videos, which should be some of the SpaceX tests. You’ll come to understand why shit blowing up is normal and a good thing with SpaceX: because they prototype and develop iteratively and rapidly, intentionally testing to failure so they know exactly how far from failure their nominal conditions would be. If they did not do this, the platform would not be safe and they would be getting fucked by a camel wearing another camel’s skin for kicks.

Personnel are evacuated from McGregor whenever a test is to be performed, just like they are with Starbase.

There is absolutely zero chance anyone got hurt. This isn’t Boeing.

Right, I thought that might be what you were referring to. This is where we get into weeds technically:

Those regulations apply to active jamming, which is the use of an electronic device(s) to emit signals that interfere with lawfully approved channels. It is important to note that this holds no practical bearing upon structures as they by definition cannot engage in active jamming, only in passive blocking or coincidental interference.

What’s being experienced with Walmart’s lack of 5G is likely due to the fact that 5G does not penetrate walls very well. Combine this with the fact that you have hundreds of devices in the same enclosed space trying to talk to the same tower some miles away on the lower bandwidth 5G channel that can penetrate walls, and you can see how 5G access is effectively being “denied” simply by the nature of the business. Walmart could implement an on-premises 5G relay to solve the issue, but why would they want to take on that tech debt? All they are required to do by law is make sure E911 is not impeded by the building or operations of the business. They don’t owe you access to other radio waves when on their premises.

If this regulation were to somehow be applied to passive blocking like what I’ve described, then Faraday cages would be illegal-- which aren’t, again as long as E911 is not impeded. This would also make high security bamk vaults illegal due to the thick wall construction.

which FCC regulations in particular?

I just checked and they actually disabled AI Overview. LMAO

SpaceX will not be selling itself to Boeing, surprising absolutely nobody

His ownership stake is undisclosed but has long been speculated to be at least 50.1% for the obvious reason

Gabe has said multiple times he would never sell Valve to Microshaft.

Every time I see these “rumors” I can’t help but think that they are a malicious tactic by Microshaft to try and influence their more longshot buyout offers-- Microshaft really really wants Valve, this has been known for at least a decade. And some overzealous young execs are foolishly ready to try and pressure Valve with these bullshit tactics, completely unaware of what dangerous game they are playing legally.

I have no doubt in my mind Valve will never be sold to Microshaft or come anywhere close to it so long as Gabe or his confidants are at the helm. They are ex-Microsoft employees. They built Windows 3.0. They know it’s inner workings and failings very intimately and they only begrudgingly tolerate Windows because it’s the dominant market share. That’s the whole reason SteamOS and Steam Deck exist, to chip away at Microsoft’s attempts to monopolize PC gaming. And that’s exactly why Microsoft is hoarding IP and restricting their most prestigious titles, like Halo, to Windows through anticheat.

Whoever is starting these rumors are either pathetically stupid and attention hungry or are spreading misinformation in a hail mary at the behest of Microshaft.

Bookmarking your comment so I can come back to it in a couple hours, if I hopefully remember to.

But yes, almost. I don’t think the interrupt is necessary and the return isn’t under certain architectures. I have a doc on my computer somewhere where I was investigating what the absolute minimum was to make a turning complete machine and, to my recollection, there was only 4-6 instructions that were absolutely necessary. The ones I remember off the top of my head are NAND, MOV, JUMPIF, and then I believe I included NOP in accordance with some principle. RET and INT were convenience features in this design.
