  • "Chemical Irritant" - I'm guessing CS or tear gas. Scanned the article and didn't see it specified. Strange way to state things.

    Note that use of CS and similar are banned under the Geneva Convention between armies. Used against civilians all the time by many governments.

  • That tasty gif never gets old.

    Boom! Knocked the fuck out.

  • I mean, twenty gigs was more than anyone would ever be able to use.

  • Captain!

    This sailor probably enjoyed your hospitality back in the day.

    Thank you much!

  • I really like the interpretation of Cain and Abel having it's roots in the transition from Hunter Gatherer to Agraian society. Gobekli Tepe and all that.

    Another couple of fun ones are Christmas trees being forbidden in Jeremiah and cannabasam (forget where in the OT). I assume your uname is in reference to that cannabis use. The manna as psychedelic mushrooms is also a cool idea.

  • I like Cain and Abel/hunter gatherer vs agrarian theory.

    The whole sons of god are angels having hybrid giant babies with human women is just a lot of fun.

  • Was raised in fundamentalism, lost my religion over a decade ago. (I'm cool with religious people that aren't evil shitheads trying to brain wash children.)

    You're right about the snakes. Also, the plural tenses in Job are weird.

    Not related to the post. What's your take on the Nephillium?

  • Wife and five kids, definitely stressed about possible deporatation. Probably pretty fucked up from the war, 29. Shoots a couple of kids, 20 and 24. Fucking stupid shit. I just feel sorry for everbody.

    Would be nice to know the real story.

  • Second on Scratch. Then Python or Java.

    (Pretty sure windows doesn't come with any compilers anymore. Even if it did, it lacks an ide.)

  • I'll be looking at all of this. Going to probably try LTSC first. Rufus also is sounding interesting. Thank you much for the write-up, it is greatly appreciated!

  • I'm going to be looking into LTSC first. Will also be giving the rest of your recommendations a look. Thank you much!

    Preparing to upgrade to windows 11. Have a bitestick and a punching bag but need advice.

    Due to CAD/CAM and the nature of my industry, I'm stuck with windows on my daily driver for the foreseeable future. (Been using Linux since Ubuntu was new, have multiple servers and old chromebooks running different flavors.)

    I've been putting off dealing with this. Goatfucking bullshit pain in my dick. Ffffffuck me right in the ass. I would happily slit Clippy's throat right in front of his little paperclip children and sleep like a baby.

    Can I pretty please get recommendations on upgrading to 11 and unfucking it as much as possible? Comfortable editing the registry, using the command line, and monkeying with the BIOS. Anybody know of a good guide for neutering all the AI shit, copliot, onedrive nagging?

    *Edit - Solved:

    Thank you all very much! This is the advice I was looking for.

    Long ago, I learned that when preparing to do a machine incantation; you must give the machine a good cussing. It shows the machine you are the boss and the machine gods are more likely to smile upon y

  • Fuck the fucking pigs. Guilty until proven innocent at this point. I give game wardens and postal inspectors a pass, I guess.

    I hope most of them die in a fire and it hurts the whole time.

    I had a dear friend who was gang raped by sheriff's deputies. I reckon that's just an anecdote.

  • I've actually drawn once in a defensive situation. Juvenile mountain lion was curious. I was growling and hissing at it but it kept coming so I drew. It finally turned and I didn't have to try and kill it.

    Peak life experience. I was really lucky to get see one and I'm so glad I didn't have to shoot it.

  • Little people were employed in the building and inspection of B-24s. Henry Ford Collection

    Guess there's some sort of truth to what I remember.

  • I think there is scientific consensus or at least strong proof that blue light fucks up your circadian and reduces REM sleep.

    Cellphones in bed are probably pretty bad for us. Don't think it affects midichlorians, tho.

    It's after midnight and I gotta be up early, need to put the phone down.

  • Is this your first day on the left side of the interwebs? Atheists and agnostics are the norm. We're mostly over it and not every shitty thing done is a direct religious issue.

    Religion is just another control. Causes not symptoms.

  • Didn't they recruit little people to be aircraft mechanics in WWII? They could fit inside fuselages and wings?

  • That sounds terrible. I'll definitely give it a try.

  • I've had raccoon, which was terrible. Never had the chance to try cat.

    Sea cucumber is supposed to be a delicacy, but never had it. Sea urchin is amazing in my experience, but someone here on Lemmy said it was awful. It may be a preparation or freshness issue. I'd like to try sea cucumber.

    Antique Electro-Cautery Unit: Measuring voltage with ADC and general safety.

    I recently acquired an old electro-cautery unit. Think it is from 1910s or 1920s. Has a big old multi tapped torodial transformer running to a couple of connectors/poles. It is by F. Geiger of Philadelphia. Wood case is labeled 110V. 60 CY. and 4V. 100A. Seriously old school cool and a little horrifying.

    Insulation on power cord was brittle as was insulation from secondary to pole. Both have been replaced. I used crimp connections on the primary wires (didn't measure gauge but it's on the order of 20 AWG). I was in a hurry to test and will eventually solder it properly. I added a switch to the new power cord.

    It works with output voltage varying from 0.1V to 4V. It gets a woodburning tip glowing orange at setting 4 (2 volts or so). Should make a great woodburner and be useful if I ever need to interrogate someone.

    There isn't really a way to ground it and the screw on the control knob is electrically connected to the secondary. I have a gfci adapter that I could plug it into. Basica

    Trying to get a better understanding on the whole tankie thing, found this study that seems unbiased. It looks at their online behavior. I would appreciate others review of the study, even if just bullshit or facts.

    Jeebus these people are exhausting, they also spray so much disinformation. They remind me of MAGAts.

    I don't yet have a feel for the dynamics like I do with MAGAts. How much of it is organized with handlers and such vs. organic true believers?
