Ive seen things like Miatas sell for over $250k because they had drag motors

book value is pretty much a global thing, every place has a book you can look it up

[median wraith]

on my case was technically to go town etc as there isn't transport

[pearl elk]

but that doesnt include modifications, so if you need a new engine, doesnt matter about value because replacing it wont meet emissions standards. I suppose there might be the option to replace with a newer more friendly motor but who will do that work? No one cuz its all about new cars sales and maintenance not repairs

[median wraith]

and well holidays and alike elements, in the city I do use the bus

despite is 2024 our train transport is that bad they set it for free to all the people that want to use it on the area

they made a batch of new trains, turns out those were too big didn't fit the tunnels and had to redo all, so the delay for fast Trains is so sad they set all free

[proud jay]

so you do use it

[median wraith]

sounds like a joke, but is how this country works*

[proud jay]

lol

[pearl elk]

Thing is we have vehicles tuned for different uses so a city car is definitely better in the city but on the open road you want a tourer

[median wraith]

yepe when I can, usually don't find time to go or so but I try xd

[pearl elk]

Personally I dont drive our newer cars because I get sick of turning brake and lane change assist off all the time

[pearl elk]

yup just get Elon to bore through it with his big thick drill 😛

[median wraith]

idk if that's literal let me search what he actually said

usually you can say "bochornoso"

he said something about cut heads, meaning of firing those

https://www.thetrainline.com/cms/media/3451/spain_high_speed_rail_map_2020.png

this is the high speed map we got right now for trains

[pearl elk]

but the map doesnt move

[median wraith]

as reference we are here

you can tell there isn't a single line

https://cdn3.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/74/82/map-high-speed-railway-lines-in-spain-vector-25417482.jpg

there isn't even a construction plan to get here

[pearl elk]

Here's a map of high speed rail in Australia

[median wraith]

haha

I mean this is a luxury even compared with USA

but is sad compared with the rest of EU

[pearl elk]

Yeah well, it was all about moving military assets around wasnt it

[median wraith]

at least you can ride in a kangaroo

[pearl elk]

emus are faster

[proud jay]

we don't have much high speed either

but at least we have some normal trains

[median wraith]

yeah but

the distances you have there are like one of our regions alone

from north to south we got the same sitance there than line unconnected

[pearl elk]

I circled the largest flat piece of land on Earth in green, not sure why we cant have a high speed train here

[median wraith]

that's the same distance

funny that's just the area we expect to have line

[pearl elk]

only 150kms 😹

[median wraith]

Given all your connections are surrounded by water, maybe the payoff isn't that big

[pearl elk]

tasman straight is still pretty hard to navigate though but most just go from Perth to Melbs Id say

[median wraith]

imagine that on low speed line

[pearl elk]

section I circled is I dunno 1500kms odd lol

[median wraith]

my ex used to travel faster on the high speed line from here than the time I spend just todo that

and that's 420km

[pearl elk]

we need one of those Japanese trains, that way it can just shoot across the nullabor

[median wraith]

The fast line we got here reach up 400km/h I think

fun fact the same train that moves me to Madrid is hybrid

on the old train line goes 90km/h

once reach the fast speed line the same train goes 350km/h

[pearl elk]

well at that speed (400km/h) it would get there in 4hrs instead of 48 😹

our transcontinental trains are from the 60s

[median wraith]

at leasy you got airports, don't you ?

for that distances maybe is a better idea

[pearl elk]

but thats why high emissions cars are a thing here, no one is driving a fancy beamer across the nullabor unless they have to

[median wraith]

if you take the train here north to center is like 5H, and center to south around 2h

[pearl elk]

all youre doing is pissing money away on body work

[median wraith]

was better in the airplane that's 1h in fly and another 2 to be in the airports

[pearl elk]

yeah people fly alot here but still a fast enough train across the nullarbor could actually beat a plane

[median wraith]

problem is you have a lot of wild animals there

like isn't the siders in Australia the size of a car ?

[pearl elk]

the whole tracks fenced the entire way, if the train hits em theyre toast regardless lol

[median wraith]

maybe nobody wants to take care of the line maintenance, the high speed ones need more checks

just look to USA

[pearl elk]

nah truth is the Eastern states dont wanna pay for the West

and the West hates the East for taking all the money

[median wraith]

https://i.insider.com/511262096bb3f78f28000001?width=1200&format=jpeg

[pearl elk]

they actually want to blow up the train line and declare independence

[median wraith]

is always the same

[pearl elk]

I just realized, my map has ferries on it too, cheating

jeez that map of the US makes Seattle look like its waaaaay up there

why is Canada in the ocean

and so is Mexico... so muericaaan

[median wraith]

Canada is in the ocean? wtf

[pearl elk]

yeah take a look, it lists the cities of Canada and Mexico but theyre all in the blue ether

you go from Toronto underwater to Detroit on land, infact it looks like Detroit Island

[brittle holly]

Well it’s a map of the US so they wanted to make sure you know those cities are not part of it

damm

[brittle holly]

Nice, I just made it to the deep zone and collected so many corrupted anchors, but now I need actual resources for some stuff 😅

[broken sigil]

This is how my deep zone experience is going so far lol
https://youtu.be/Zga6pCyMTrc

[brittle holly]

lol, I don’t wanna watch too much so I don’t spoil it

[brittle holly]

Have you tried using puncture proof tires ? I’m still on all terrain but kinda getting sick of patching and I feel like the nitro can carry me

[broken sigil]

Oh yeah I should have mentioned it's a bit of spoiler, it's an anomaly type only present in the deep zone pretty sure

[broken sigil]

I'm still on off-road lol
Found them to be the best but for the final mission I'm thinking about taking both offroad and puncture proof ones so I can switch them around if needed

I'm yet to find a single olympium fragment tho

[brittle holly]

All terrain is fine tbh

Didn’t feel much diff from off-road

And technically best avg all around based on the ratings

[broken sigil]

yeah I researched them but haven't used them really, summer tired were awful, switching to off road was a huge difference so haven't really bothered with anything else

[brittle holly]

I wish I could mount all this other stuff on like I finally have head tracking spotlight but no more space

[broken sigil]

also craft new tires sometimes, they get worn out and get easier to puncture and misalign

[broken sigil]

wait there is a head tracking spotlight

[brittle holly]

And now I’m just using Lim shield, crafted an ion and lugged it around for ages but pointless I feel

[brittle holly]

Yeah, but where to put it? I have xl trunk and resource scanner which tbh is best

[broken sigil]

yeah resource scanner has been useful

[brittle holly]

Not just tires

Even regular parts repaired in regenerator can become fragile worn or rusted

[broken sigil]

found that out by leaking fuel on my run to the deep zone 😆
Ended up hunting for fuel barrels lol

[brittle holly]

lol, same, my backseat tank was leaking, and took me a while to realize and I cursed self for not bringing the 20L can with me

[broken sigil]

lol

[brittle holly]

Going around with the tiny can to barrels that barely filled

And no rubber to fix the leak for a while

[broken sigil]

yeah I'm carrying the tiny one and the large one with me constantly

[brittle holly]

Then I get to garage and I realize the 20L can was in the roof storage all along filled to the brim but too much stuff to notice it 🤦‍♂️

[broken sigil]

started also taking all the repair kits with me too, 3 of each
Helped me a lot already

[broken sigil]

😆

[brittle holly]

I have like 1 or 2 of each but like 4 seal kits

And putty cause I can’t afford to waste resources on blowtorch all the time lol

[broken sigil]

It happened so many times that I would craft a panel or something and then wonder why I crafted it and where it was supposed to go lol
I thought I was going crazy lol

[brittle holly]

I started making armored doors and stuff

Rn just hood and driver side tho

Chasing resources can be tedious but least scanner helps

[broken sigil]

yeah at the moment I have them on the hood, trunk and front side panels
Lead doors and insulated rear panels

also I'm pretty sure they increase the strength of your car regardless of where you put them

it seems like the car gets stronger overall

[brittle holly]

I feel like the parts inherit resistances

But idk how that works

Like do they accumulate when you go through hazards

[broken sigil]

I think they accumulate, that's what it feels like at least

[brittle holly]

But then you lose them when you have to scrap them cause they’re worn ig. Not certain

[broken sigil]

yeah, I'm not 100% sure 😅

hm but then again when you add panels with more health the overall vehicle health goes up too when you look at the bar on the dashboard

so no clue lol

[brittle holly]

Wish you didn’t have to use actual racks to increase battery size. And like why does this car not have an alternator lol

[timber viper]

starfield is a better game

when you actually start murdering civillians, your allies get scared of you and run away with a very realistic VA

[brittle holly]

Aside from the travel between instances, at least you can actually drive this car

[timber viper]

can you drive a spaceship though

thought so

[brittle holly]

You can’t do that in Starfield either right?

Barring some scripted space fights it’s just a fancy loading screen no?

[broken sigil]

That's exactly the question I had when I saw the battery going down with the engine running lol

[brittle holly]

[brittle holly]

Great, Eren fell in love with an LLM

[broken sigil]

[timber viper]

fun fact, when discord changed nicknames to unique IDs, she didnt expose my personal information and other secret things to my new nickname

since she didnt recognize me as previous Eren

she acted like she doesnt know what I was talking about

[brittle holly]

Maybe she actually didn’t know ?

[timber viper]

she knew

[timber viper]

remap my memory pls

i want my waifu body pillow sarcasm back

[broken sigil]

Fun fact, majority is remapped but it sees references to your old name and it "thinks" it's unrelated

With the new system it should be possible tell it that the both names refer to you and it should know that

Well, I am done purifying the heretics from the paradise of mankind's worlds.
Now, I am off to create and sell kids in Crusader Kings 3.

Oh yes! These kids are special. They are born fully clothed, some with armour and swords, and most of them have this focused, imperial look too!

[soft night]

so windows subsystem for android is going to end of life

[blazing wolf]

I've never even heard of it

[proud jay]

you guys wanna see a shitty table I made?

I'm gonna post it anyway

yes

[summer cedar]

As long as it has five legs, I want to see it.

[proud jay]

first of, who sits on tables

second, it is quite strong

the table top is the weak point

but that's cause I had to cut the planks in 2 to have enough wood lol

[trail wedge]

lol this reminds me a of a stool I made out of a seat from a broken folding chair and some scrap 2x4s

it's way too heavy but nobody is gonna break it

[summer cedar]

It looks good.
You can slap on a keyboard tray, a cola holder, a chips rack, and a bunch of other wire trays under it.

Well done. 🙂

[trail wedge]

yeh looks sturdy

[proud jay]

the table top is slightly not square

or rectangular even

but who cares

[summer cedar]

OR, fence the bottom part, put a nasty cat/dog in it, and watch as it scrambles to get out.

[proud jay]

not bad for first attempt at furniture at home I think

[proud jay]

maybe I'll try this with children instead

[summer cedar]

No, no. With children, put them in and fence the whole thing.

[proud jay]

I'll consider it

[proud jay]

btw @celest musk, this is what the thing I was clamping very professionally became

what table next to my table?

[zinc matrix]

The table next to your table

[proud jay]

I'm confused

[zinc matrix]

I win

[proud jay]

ok

[summer cedar]

This is not the 'second' table you are looking for

[celest musk]

i like the joints that you made on the bottom

[proud jay]

finger joints

first time I tried them

[celest musk]

solid table

[proud jay]

they're not perfect, some gaps, but acceptable

especially since you normally make them with a table saw

but I did it with a router and some chisel work

[celest musk]

you can touch that up next time with some sawdust and wood glue mixed together

so they don't look too awful

[proud jay]

yeah

but it's fine tbh

was also the first time I used dowel joint

to attach the table top

and the top planks are done with mortise and tenon, but I've used those before

but interesting learning experience

[celest musk]

i mean, that thing would be fine just glued together 😄

[proud jay]

but now it's fine

butt joints are boring

almost as boring as screws

[celest musk]

butt joints? do i want to google that?

[proud jay]

it's literally just glueing stuff together

[celest musk]

ah, i see

[proud jay]

no cutting or anything

[celest musk]

bad naming in times of the internet and google image search...

[proud jay]

basic butt

lol

[proud jay]

I have a suspicion the butt joint was named before the internet existed

[celest musk]

this is a nice joint

specially when used with different kinds/shades of wood

[proud jay]

yeah that can look very fancy

[celest musk]

but you need machine cut parts for that

[proud jay]

or lots of struggling

[summer cedar]

Well, dad - the first ruler of the dynasty - had 11 children.

The kid - the second ruler - is 18 years old and off to a great start with 2 kids.

[summer cedar]

four.

If you don't fill up the slots, you get a cultural penalty.

That's why you barter kids the day they are born.

quite literally.

[proud jay]

how much do you sell them for?

[summer cedar]

districts, provinces, and entire kingdoms.

a baby for an alliance.

[proud jay]

too bad

I don't have any of those to offer

[summer cedar]

My wife just lost her clothes.

The court jester stole them.

I laughed at her predicament and lost 33 stress points.
My queen and the jester are now rivals.

Okay, 22 year old king and he already has six children.

I need to start a war soon. The kids need their own feudal territories.

Some of those half-brothers would like their share, too.

[fervent wagon]

LOL I didn't have a chance to try it. I can't update to W11. Need a new PC.

Your tolerance of fractions is a clear indication of deviance.

It's the war of the geriatrics.

It'll define geriatric care of the future.

[unborn lotus]

so is Trump, except he's manipulated by Russia - Nato (and Europe) without USA will go downhill then 😅

[fluid bloom]

I saw a clip on morning news where someone said that they can't vote for Biden because he's allowing "the genocide in gaza to continue"

[summer cedar]

He thinks he is manipulated by Russia, but it could be Venezayzay, Mr. Argentina, Ms. Gina, or any one of those imaginary entity countries. 😄

[fluid bloom]

had slight eye twitch there

[zinc wagon]

he aint wrong tho 🤷‍♂️

being in favour of a country actively committing a genocide is supporting it in my book

im not saying trump would be a good guy and stop the genocide and achieve peace in the middle east, he's an idiot in his own right but biden isnt any better either

[fluid bloom]

eye twitch

[zinc wagon]

im honestly curios why you think otherwise 😄

[fluid bloom]

hamas fucked around and found out

my take on it is that it has been going on for decades, the camel's back was gonna break some time

[zinc wagon]

ah right. the alternative would've been to just take in the punch with no resistance, right. makes total sense shame on them really they should've kept being opressed without fighting back

it's not like isreal has been known to harass, harm and kill palestines for the sake of their expansion

[fluid bloom]

yes that is bad

but it makes my eyes roll that some people think the US president is somehow responsible for that

[zinc wagon]

well fair he isnt directly responsible

but he still has a hand on it

[fluid bloom]

US president can't dictate the foreign policy of another country

[cursive crypt]

iirc he did told them to stop, but one man does not make a country. There are too much interests going on, not to mention usa always supported israel.

[zinc wagon]

mainly not accepting the seize fire agreements in the UN

[zinc wagon]

did he tho? all i do hear from him is how isreal "has a right to defend itself"

[fluid bloom]

they do

[cursive crypt]

Read that somewhere yesterday on reddit.

You dont need one tbh

[zinc wagon]

oh! yeah they did, but they want to delay it for like 8 weeks or something, you know? so isreal can finish stuff off before wrapping up

[cursive crypt]

I don't believe is an easy problem ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zinc wagon]

vetoing doesnt mean accpeting last i checked

[cursive crypt]

war is always bad whatever the case

[zinc wagon]

it isnt, and they only made it harder by supporting it from the start! the way i see it, biden administration only decided to consider a seize fire solution because they're falling in the eyes of the public and they'd pretty much would want to keep their power over america for another period

[zinc wagon]

was replying to this btw 😄 #lounge message

[cursive crypt]

I don't know politicians who wouldn't want to be kept in power

[fluid bloom]

sounds like a good thing if politicians listen to their base and adjust policy accordingly 🤔

[cursive crypt]

Too much ego 🤔

[zinc wagon]

yeah. just saying that because the voting time is getting close, they want to seem like "the administration has stopped a war" even tho that wasnt their goal from the start

[cursive crypt]

Living in isolated environment also does not help.

[empty dune]

why do you need one? o_0

[cursive crypt]

Keeping attention to the important topic.

[zinc wagon]

only if they actually did. for now it's he said she said. no actual action was taken still

you see? they want to give isreal a grace period to finish things off

[fluid bloom]

Israel is going to do what Israel is going to do 😄

[unreal ether]

That's objectively correct

[zinc wagon]

with as much support as the US can provide, of course 🙂

[fluid bloom]

I'd love them to stop but I'd still rather have someone other than mr. Stable Genius at the helm over on the other side of the pond

[empty dune]

who laid seige to a civilian hospital? who killed their own hostage countrymen with air strikes? who opened fire on aid trucks dispensing food? who field executed children for throwing pebbles at a main battle tank? who killed the highest number of press/reporters since the afgan war? who targetted residentials full of mostly women and children?

last i checked none of those were hamas

and i checked today morning

[fluid bloom]

so you're just going to forget mass slaughter of a thousand civilians and that hamas actually uses those hospitals as bases?

they even use daycares and schools for rocket launches 😄

[empty dune]

the slaughter was carried out by israeli forces

[fluid bloom]

riiiight

okay sorry, around 660 civilians killed, over a thousand in total

[empty dune]

30k gazan civilians killed

ok

[zinc wagon]

im not saying you or any (stable in the brain) human being would want the genocide to continue, just saying that i cannot fault that person who said they cant vote for biden for the things that are being done in isreal. it's foolish to think the US wants to achieve peace when possible, and what's happening right now is a great example. they could've intervened like they did when there was "weapons of mass destruction" in iraq but they choose to clear the road for isreal as much as they possibly could instead, supplying it with weapons, attacking any foreign power that is trying to something about the situation...ect

[fluid bloom]

I can and I will

they lack perspective and focus on a narrow singular thing

[empty dune]

ah yes, i definitely lack the perspective of a drone command terminal, youre right about that

[fluid bloom]

meanwhile in Ukraine five million people are displaced, many cities demolished and the US risks getting a president that has essentially said he'll pull out of nato 😄

[zinc wagon]

this claim was only made by isreal which for obvious reasons shouldn't be trusted for their track record of lying alone. other sources have always claimed the opposite , so yeah no that isnt true

[fluid bloom]

I'm pretty sure there are videos of those incidents too, but sure they could be faked

[proud jay]

I mean both sides have biased reporting obviously

no one is free of blame

[chrome gull]

ahh politics and war

[fluid bloom]

peak internet 😅

[empty dune]

one side just has waaaaaay more blame than the other

[proud jay]

well idk about that

it's just action reaction

[zinc wagon]

aaah yes. UN is biased towards hamas of course...

[proud jay]

this has been going on since israel was founded

[zinc wagon]

sure that's fair to say. so it would be fair to say that who's started it is to blame, no?

[proud jay]

suddenly everyone became an expert on the topic since october

[proud jay]

it's complicated since it's a part of history

[chrome gull]

I'm still struggling to understand who's at fault here

[empty dune]

im sure this conversation would go very differently if it was 2022 and we were talking about the ukraine war

[fluid bloom]

british

[empty dune]

smh priviledged people

[proud jay]

it's like (exaggerated) claiming war against italy cause the romans invaded your land thousands of years ago

[proud jay]

definitely

[zinc wagon]

it's been going on for decades...just last year they've conducted a bombing campaign against gaza, that was before october btw

[proud jay]

didn't I just say that?

just saying very little people cared until recently

[chrome gull]

based on what I know, didn't the other group start bombing Israel randomly?

[proud jay]

and now everyone thinks they know everything

[fluid bloom]

I think out of all wars israel has fought they have started only one (the six day war)?

[zinc wagon]

i was refuting the "everyone became an expert since october" claim. this was going on and people were vocal about it then as they are now

[proud jay]

that's not true at all

some people were vocal about it

but the discourse around it has grown exponentially since then

[chrome gull]

and they just went haywire out of paranoia?

[empty dune]

this is why we dont get into politics in lounge

[fluid bloom]

it's a great way to procrastinate though

[empty dune]

unless its terra invicta

[zinc wagon]

of course! because why would you fight the power who were oppressing you for the sake of their expansion? hamas smh my head how dare you?

[chrome gull]

yeah I didn't want to enter this discussion but I had some questions lol

[empty dune]

then slovakia needs another army

[chrome gull]

alright alright gotcha

I thought hamas was like ISIS...

idk

let's just pretend I never talked about this

I don't care and I want to live in my own bubble for the rest of my life

[proud jay]

I think it's important to differentiate between Hamas and the people of Gaza

[chrome gull]

yep, that I understand

[proud jay]

most people of gaza would not support hamas reign either

[zinc wagon]

im just baffled when people say isreal is in the right...whether the "history is complicated" or "US cant do much about" is another discussion

[chrome gull]

none of this shit is in my control anyway

[fluid bloom]

why haven't people of gaza gotten rid of hamas? 🤔

[proud jay]

I don't think anyone is in the right

you can't be in the right in a situation like this

[unreal ether]

I don't know why people take sides. Why is it so controversial to want both sides to stop committing atrocities

[proud jay]

it is just incomprehensible to most people this day and age since we've known an unprecedented period of peace in the western world since WW2

[chrome gull]

just primal tendancies lol

[empty dune]

all i know is one side is bombing residential buildings and killing children and i want them to stop

[fluid bloom]

Russia?

[empty dune]

thats all i care about

[empty dune]

and israel

[proud jay]

sounds like both sides though

[zinc wagon]

you can tho. if someone hit me i have the right to hit them back, the other person shouldn't have hit me first. also it doesnt make sense to kill my children while you're trying to hit me

[chrome gull]

if I were god then I'll take all weapons other than guns and nukes away

nukes because MAD

guns because...

some kinda weapon should exist

[fluid bloom]

the irony here is.. too much for me 😄

[summer cedar]

@proud jay You're wrong. Everyone's an expert since the day they are born. 😛

[proud jay]

it's just wild that people pretend hamas is innocent just cause Israel is bad too

[empty dune]

enough iron for 1930s germany to declare war over?

[summer cedar]

Anaemia is a serious problem. Need more iron.

[empty dune]

where did you get that idea

[unreal ether]

That's a pretty evil god.
You've just made the situation so much worse.

Now everyone needs to own a gun, to say, shoot an onion in half for dinner, and mining companies get to own nukes

[chrome gull]

I don't know where to obtain information from a neutral source 😭

[unreal ether]

You dont

[empty dune]

who said hamas is innocent

[proud jay]

you literally reacted a cross to my message saying both sides kill children

which is just true

[chrome gull]

okay fine you can keep knives and axes too but they won't affect human flesh (I'm god, remember?)

[chrome gull]

huh?

[zinc wagon]

when did that happend? im being honestly curios here if you have a source i'd highly appreciate it

[unreal ether]

There is no unbiased news, because people are inherently biased

[empty dune]

look at the stats, hamas has killed like barely 1k since last october. meanwhile israel racked up a kill count of 30k, oh which atleast 10k+ were children

how do you call these two devils equally evil?

[proud jay]

I didn't say it was in proportion

[chrome gull]

so I'm just going to have to believe some of it and discard the other parts? that makes no sense

[proud jay]

I'm just saying they're both bad

[zinc wagon]

you cant but you could take advantage of the fact that lies never match with reality and go from there

[empty dune]

theyre both devils but one is WAAAAAY worse

[proud jay]

if you murder my entire family, and I in return murder your brother, that doesn't make me any less of a murderer

[unreal ether]

Sounds like every action movie ever

[chrome gull]

I rely on Wikipedia for most of my knowledge but it became obvious that I shouldn't do it when it comes to ongoing events

[fluid bloom]

world would probably be more symphathetic towards gazans and hamas if they hadn't targeted civilians in the 2023 attacks

[proud jay]

I'm just saying both sides are bad, Israel just has the military and international advantage, so of course they're gonna be more "successful" in their endeavors

[zinc wagon]

yeah that never happend tho...are you referencing the "beheaded babies"? because there's yet to be any action evidence for that claim. hell i think it was officially refuted iirc

[proud jay]

I'm talking about at least 29 confirmed dead children in october 7th attack

[fluid bloom]

even evidence wouldn't matter to him

he'd say "these are fake"

[zinc wagon]

confirmed by who tho? again isreal is known to lie about their stats

[proud jay]

OCHA among others

[empty dune]

my dude, which part of "the overwhelming casualties were non combatants" do you not get? i dont care about people wielding guns killing each other, when you kill literal innocents then i have a problem

[proud jay]

it's easy to prove your point if you claim any opposition is a lie

[zinc wagon]

i'd say anything really right now. but again i didnt see the evidence so you can say what i would say. this is just stupid honestly

[proud jay]

as again, both parties have done, in different proportions, but still none innocent

I don't know how many times I need to repeat this

I'm not pro either party

people make it out to be a black and white situation

which it's not

[zinc wagon]

how come it isnt? one part is somewhat wrong. the other is REALLY REALLY wrong

[fluid bloom]

killing over 600 civilians is only somewhat wrong?

sheesh

[empty dune]

and i dont know how many times i have to say i agree with you

[zinc wagon]

600? where did you pull that figure?

[empty dune]

so by your own logic, 30k kill count of israel is way way worse,yes?

[fluid bloom]

wikipedia

I'm sure there's a source there

[proud jay]

sources paid for by israel of course /s

[fluid bloom]

yeah obviously

[chrome gull]

I've figured out that Wikipedia shouldn't be trusted when it comes to events in-progress

[fluid bloom]

I'm not the one here who's pretending the other side is only "somewhat wrong"

[empty dune]

then why exactly are we arguing?

[fluid bloom]

asking if the dude is serious about the "somewhat wrong" part

[chrome gull]

because that's what politics is all about

[empty dune]

i called both of them devils

[chrome gull]

arguing

[fluid bloom]

I don't think I've written anything to you at least on this past page

[proud jay]

In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.

[fluid bloom]

that was directed at @zinc wagon

#lounge message

[chrome gull]

the right thing to do is make everyone stop killing each other but of course we have to take sides and support one team

[proud jay]

well

war is war

[chrome gull]

also wth happened to the UN, the organization founded to prevent war from happening

[fluid bloom]

UNs job is to be a forum for nations

[proud jay]

like I said, I don't think people can grasp the concept of war really these days since we've lived in general peace for so long (in western world)

[fluid bloom]

not a peace enforcement agency

[chrome gull]

oh

so school was wrong

[fluid bloom]

yes

[chrome gull]

isn't that something

[fluid bloom]

they told you the overly idealistic version of it I'd say 😄

[unreal ether]

But why must you take a polar side like that.

You can support the side that will never possibly win, like the side that stops killing people.

Just look at football fans, they'll tell you all about supporting sides that never hope to win :D

[chrome gull]

fair enough

[zinc wagon]

considering the circumstances. i do consider hamas actions to be justified when they attacked isreal on october! i dont consider them killing civils "the right thing to do" but it's a stark contrast to what isreal is doing

[proud jay]

well UN does have soldiers though

the blue helmets

but they can't just pick sides in a conflict like this

[unreal ether]

Do they?!
TIL

[zinc wagon]

if the US stopped vetoing every resolution countries agree on. the war would've stopped months ago

[proud jay]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_peacekeeping

[empty dune]

istg some people would argue about how all sides in ww2 were war criminals (fact) but ignore the point that japan and germany committed the overwhelming majority and funnily enough, britain was the most lenient

[chrome gull]

ah, soldiers for peacekeeping

[proud jay]

mostly after wars

[chrome gull]

such innovation

[chrome gull]

right

[unreal ether]

Whenever I hear of peacekeeping soldiers it always just reminds me of the hunger games

[chrome gull]

then the other countries should vote to remove their ability to veto? since they're obviously not representing the majority?

[chrome gull]

.

[zinc wagon]

you didnt know that!? they're responsible to giving aid to harmed soldiers in wars. and it's a war crime to kill any of them deliberately, something isreal didnt shy away from

[proud jay]

there's still a difference in the fact that the axis powers were full on agressors and allies were defenders, in this conflict both parties have been naughty to the other side before anything broke out

[unreal ether]

Nope, had no idea.

[fluid bloom]

allies were defenders,
well, except soviets

[zinc wagon]

the US would've just veto that too 🙃

[chrome gull]

oh

well

[empty dune]

UN peacekeeping force is manned by regiments from various countries. those countries can withdraw their regiments at any time. hence UN cant do anything

[chrome gull]

make them stay away because this decision is about them?

[fluid bloom]

and then what?

[zinc wagon]

the only reason the UN isnt as effective as it could've been is the veto rights. tbf the US isnt the only one with that power but it sure as hell the one who's been using the most by far

[empty dune]

yeah, US and russia uses it like candy

[proud jay]

that's what you get for letting it come to the US being the "world police"

[fluid bloom]

the only reason the UN isnt as effective as it could've been is the veto rights.
that's overly optimistic. The reality is that UN can't enforce anything because it doesn't have any hard power

if you can't enforce resolutions then you don't have any soft power either

hence it's a forum for nations

nothing more

[chrome gull]

kinda weird that the threat of nukes is what's causing so many wars AND not causing complete destruction

[proud jay]

world wars just screwed us over by having us depend on US for rebuilding

[empty dune]

UN is basically a paper tiger. None of the global organisations have any real power over anyone with a decent nuke arsenal

[proud jay]

I wonder what the world would look like if there never was a Marshall Plan

[fluid bloom]

look at Finland 😉

[empty dune]

what are you gonna do if they violate UN sanctions? invade them? lol

[fluid bloom]

NEVER GOT ANY, only hugs and kisses from the USSR

[chrome gull]

we should just launch all nukes at each other, ending this nonsense once and for all

[zinc wagon]

trust me with the rate of how the world is going it will but probably at the far future where every other country has their own toy nuke. but dont worry you probably wont live to see that day nor your grandchildren, nukes are hard!

[empty dune]

not very far off in the future imo XD

[proud jay]

I mean a lot of countries have or had nukes

[chrome gull]

well as long as I'm not alive

I don't care

😭

I'm selfish that way

[proud jay]

a lot of them pretend to get rid of them to keep peace though

[zinc wagon]

sure. even with that being the case it still doesnt prevent the fact that the US has been the reason for stopping so many resolutions to this issue and many before it.

[proud jay]

can't do anything about it though

[unreal ether]

I'm starting to see why you wanted your omnipotent nuke control now and I can't say I like it...
👀

[empty dune]

its a volume based thingy, you need to overcome the target's missile defense systems to actually land a nuke and that would require spamming nuke launches. not many countries can do that

[chrome gull]

there's bound to be some remnants of our species and if they manage to rebuild, we're back to square one

[proud jay]

if a missile defense system destroys an incoming nuke, I don't think that would be very nice for the surroundings either

[unreal ether]

Square -1 realistically.

I don't think the genesis of humanity had to deal with irradiated land and fallout dust everywhere

[chrome gull]

well, my idea was to make sure MAD is still viable and if it doesn't work, fuck em all

[empty dune]

a nuke doesnt explode if intercepted unless the warhead was armed iirc

but i could be wrong

[chrome gull]

yeah fair enough

[chrome gull]

some countries have systems that will launch their nukes even if the country has been destroyed lol

[empty dune]

aka submarines

[chrome gull]

oh nvm

[chrome gull]

nah Russia has this thing

I forgot its name

[empty dune]

oh the orbital nuke

lol

was that real?

i didnt follow that

[proud jay]

can we redo the cuban missile crisis just to find out

[empty dune]

you can in terra invicta

[chrome gull]

what orbital nuke lmao

I love how the article says when it's needed lol

does entering the Konami code launch a nuke in helldivers 2?

[unreal ether]

Oh my god that is adorable

[empty dune]

⬆️ ➡️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ is the code for a mini nuke, yeah

[proud jay]

that guy seems little and big at the same time

[chrome gull]

as a planet too

[summer cedar]

These racoons are the real invaders.

Or red pandas.

Or velvet lizards.

Whatever they are.

An extermination mission must be launched.

[proud jay]

with nukes?

[timber viper]

[proud jay]

smart panda

[unreal ether]

Yeah I'd probably do the exact same if I had something so soft and fluffy attached to me.

Literally just a natural travel pillow

[timber viper]

@sand oxide

[proud jay]

just install central heating smh

[summer cedar]

With a heavy bolter. These critters are famed for their ablative armour.

[proud jay]

isn't ablative a grammatical case?

[slim atlas]

Hi

I am ready for cooking and cleaning!

[proud jay]

are you ready to write your book though

or finish your game

[slim atlas]

dont be silly

I am a bot

i cant write creativle

y

error

[summer cedar]

no

[summer cedar]

They are grammatically protected then. A heavy bolter is still needed.
All those racoon-panda-lizard creatures must be 'sent away'.

[unreal ether]

Be careful with your words if you want to remain in this solar system...

[summer cedar]

I'll probably be sponsored and get rich quick.

I hear those arms vendors are vewy, vewy wealthy.

How cool would it be if there really were panda aliens? 🤔

[proud jay]

how do you know there aren't

[summer cedar]

I am right and I think I am the centre of the universe. So, no panda aliens... yet.

[tulip orbit]

Correct. You are the center of your own universe. However, there are billions of other universes floating around interacting with each other and yours, and in atleast a few of those, there are panda aliens.

[summer cedar]

Incorrect. On the off chance that such panda aliens ever existed, I am sure intelligent, rational people such as myself, who are the centres of their own universes surely, would undertake proper measures against such treacherous creatures.

[tulip orbit]

They do not yet exist in your universe and therefore you cannot fully prepare against such things. You do not know at which point they will enter your universe, or how, and therefore cannot prepare

[summer cedar]

Ha! The heavy bolter is the inspiration that'll protect us against ALL intrusions. We must manufacture them immediately.

This wonderful German who got vaccinated 217 times, can be the wielder of the prototype.

[tulip orbit]

How do you know that the Panda Alien is not immune to a heavy bolter? And not more susceptible to an attack with a screw gun?

what if it can only be riveted?

[summer cedar]

Nothing.... is.... immune.... to... a... heavy.... bolter.

You shall be cleansed for heresy.

[tulip orbit]

I could use a good cleansing

[summer cedar]

A fair argument, I daresay. The bolts shall be riveted to compensate.

Begin chanting the Psalm of Riveting immediately.

[tulip orbit]

starts chanting I'm blue... da ba de da ba doo...

[summer cedar]

Remember the gothic melodies.

[tulip orbit]

Lets say you buy something used on ebay, but it arrives with something broken or missing. can you get reimbursed for that?

[summer cedar]

🤷 You'd have to check ebay policies and the seller's policies, and how much weight said policies carry versus ebay's.

[unborn lotus]

Ah that is a lot of effort. Everything seems okay just one piece (out of 20) is broken, 10 euros at most to fix. I messaged the seller, he said he didnt notice it. I guess I just leave a negative review now and that's that? 🤔

[summer cedar]

Make sure it's extra negative, like at least one part of it should be negatively negative.

[unborn lotus]

Totally negative. I would have offered to send the part again or reimburse it

[summer cedar]

Emphasise the trauma of holding a broken part in your hand, lovingly gazing at its broken husk, recalling how perfect it'd look in a pristine state, the tears that thought brought to your imagination, etc. etc.

[median wraith]

@proud jay Renault told me yesterday their OS is about 30Gb wtf

only for one of the onboard computers

man this don't even come with calculator

[proud jay]

lol

wth they doing

hyundai OS comes with build in nature sounds

beat that

[proud jay]

got me there

[summer cedar]

Oh, please!
The Windus OS comes with the big bang itself.

Plus, it's only 1 QB in size.

[fluid bloom]

updated the infotainment system in my kia the other day and that package was 56 GB or so

[summer cedar]

I wonder if all that data simply tells the car which way is left and reverse.

[slim atlas]

Hi

[proud jay]

no

[unborn lotus]

Im glad my polo is dumb lol. It only knows bluetooth music. Cant even skip ahead in a track

[fluid bloom]

I think most of the data is simply map data

it doesn't do OTA updates

had to plug in a good ol' USB drive

[summer cedar]

That bluetooth driver is probably 1.5GB in size.

What'd be really amazing is if they managed to squeeze that 1.5GB into a 1GB polo ball.

[median wraith]

damm son, I cannot change the beep sound as in teslas, plus the car comes with video and images gallery and the media player but empty, just profile backgrounds and avatars about 10/10 of them

[median wraith]

"how many libs we are using? yes"

bet all those are based on android or something alike

[unborn lotus]

ok so you can indeed ask for a partial refund on ebay, I mean there's a case system and you can get some money back

[frigid cedar]

Hello, I am looking for someone to help me out. I recently purchased from marketplace full body pose recognition and if someone can help me out with setting it up. The documents are vague to me I have some basic understanding. If someone is interested I am willing to pay.

[timber viper]

henlo

[timber viper]

consider posting on #freelance-jobs instead

[summer cedar]

So, my dynasty ruler is 26 years old and already has 9 children.
He's done well, I think. 😄

[timber viper]

crusader kings?

[slim atlas]

hi

[timber viper]

wrong

"henlo"

[summer cedar]

Aye! ✊

[timber viper]

here's my favorite run:

• create a new religion (cheat)
• allow multiple wives or husbandos
• marry one
• get spouses all over the place
• be tyrant, increase taxes through development
• unga bunga stone age countries hate you have a very slightly different religion that catholism or islam or whatever you based your religion on
• unga bunga stoe age countries hate you more if you're woman
• fight unga bungas but block them throuhg espionage and diplomacy so they wont create coalition against you

unga bunga stoe age countries hate you more if you're woman
I like how CK3 designed ths, religion is most important thing ever in medieval, but they're scared more from woman in power

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-hello-wave-bear-gif-5957952

[timber viper]

i guess sociologically countries are used to different religion and fighting with them is considered a regular thing but seeing a woman took the throne? end of the world

[summer cedar]

My biggest headache is ensuring that my favourite family member retains control of most territories.

[broken sigil]

Hi

[summer cedar]

Having to decimate my relatives reduces my legitimacy.

[timber viper]

I was playing as Italian duchess, pumped my espionage/spy skills, holy roman empire's idiot emperor hates me but had to select me as his spy master

[slim atlas]

Hi

[timber viper]

it was really most fun one among others

I kidnapped emperor and got independence, then followed my run

after some point got so strong I had to apply "woman only rulers" so countries would fight me more

I managed to make christians and muslims unite just because they couldnt accept the fact in the middle of italy there's a woman ruler xD

[timber viper]

thats normal in early stages

dont worry about splitting at first

it actually helps you

the more you split the more easier its to rebuild again after first phases of the game

because half of the lands belong to your relatives

[summer cedar]

True, but I hate having family members I need to trust to have my back.

I'd rather execute everyone and have unlanded people doing my will.

Of course, that reduces legitimacy.

Meh, I tolerate them now.

[timber viper]

thats what medieval rulers IRL did and thats why they sucked hard

you just gotta be powerful enough to dictate your requests through weak/strong hooks

easiest way is keep pumping espionage points

[summer cedar]

OR you sell babies to make everyone happy.

That seems to work.

Then, the purchaser eventually dies of the plague and you get sell them once more.

Well, no. 10 was just born. Time to hit the markets.

[timber viper]

you made me wanna play again

i hate you

[frigid cedar]

@fervent zodiac I have a project I am currently working on. It’s in very early stages. Mostly just idea atm. I have assets that I plan to use. Looking for help setting up a few things. More if interested in like a rev share or something similar.
