  • I have no idea as everyone I knew has been driven out of PC. last time I was there it felt like it had been hollowed out.

  • which one? linked comment?

  • Putin surrounded himself with yes men while rampant corruption rotted away his military.

  • Park City was so different before the Olympics

  • My brother was commissioned through there and Dickinson. We don't talk these days but before that I occasionally joked he had taken the "back door Westpoint" path. Last I knew he was assigned to the Pentagon which likely tanked his career.

  • Also just to add on. The US military has what I believe is an invite only "war college" that Whiskey tango never attended. All top officers and administrators from around the world have taken classes from it... except Hegseth.

  • Hegseth never went above being a Major or field officer. His place in the military machine was focusing on a small specific spot in operations.

    To over simplify things, Hegseth was in charge of making French fries at a store, but later was really good at kissing ass while exaggerating how smart he is. Now he's the CEO and has no idea what the fuck he's even saying. Extra level of fuckery is he has fired anyone who has questioned his leadership or has unfortunately been born anything but white and male. Also I imagine ugly people aren't getting promoted either.

  • well I mean yeah, they probably used something like the Chewbacca defense legal tactic. There's no irrefutable defense against just making shit up until it sounds bad enough.

    The democracy has been a joke for some time but now that they know they can do whatever with out consequences it's pretty much done.

  • wasn't it last week someone got 50 years for basically the crime of having pamphlets?

  • I am not sure it's that easy.

  • Me too

  • Totally agree and things are already really bad here but the average US citizen doesn't know it it yet - https://piefed.social/comment/11954439

    My priority is getting my partner out of this mess before they get permanently deployed to one of the three country killing disasters on the horizon.

    Not related or that important; I've been making a concerted effort to not refer to the USA as America and saying US citizens as Americans. The situation in North America kinda feels like this https://imgur.com/a/w2GWXoZ with the question being who is the survivor: Mexico or Canada?

  • I having this feeling there is going to be an extreme backlash in this country in the next several years that would make this strategically unwise.

    Look at Der Cheeto's history as a guide for how things will play out when the bastard finally croaks. Does any of his children strike anyone as particularly bright? Baron or whatever his name is, the kid that looks like the Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime" is constantly looping "Well... how did I get here?" every time I see him, that one seems like a possible wild card but the others are obedient sycophants.

    It feels like that poor woman shot in the face by ICE was this era's Sumner affair with the kick off to chaos most likely happening somewhere in November but before January. How this will play out will be somewhat like when some Shia people decided to settle some scores with their Sunni neighbors. I cannot begin to explain how fucked things are when you have the equivalent of each corner in a four way intersection taking turns shooting at each other.

  • When I was a kid, we used to have to walk uphill, in snow, somehow both ways, to figure out which voodoo configuration of DMA, IRQ, and free vs high memory settings was needed to be able to play a game.

  • Anyone know of a jail break for Tesla's PowerWall?

    My understanding is the battery/inverter will go into something like safe mode after a certain number of days of not being able to call home. I haven't been able to confirm or deny this but I do know Tesla doesn't like you interacting with the battery directly.

  • The real way to get on the list is to give advice on how to acquire salt peter or acquiring in bulk precursors like ammonium nitrate (or is it nitrite, not going to look that up)

  • Jesus christ I forgot what dark times those were. Just checked and indeed min memory was 512MB for Half life 2

    Goddamn kids these days don't know how good they got it (ignoring all the other stuff going on right now)

  • Maybe in the orange box era? Did we even have that much memory back then? /s

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    They need to make an action movie where the entire cast becomes progressively more and more deaf after every gun is fired without hearing protection
