[wooden pulsar]

I guess I did word it wrong. 🤦

[manic torrent]

The best thing to do is to not get shot at

[steep girder]

Yeah but I mean it's not a luxury everybody's guaranteed all the time. That's why in certain states, people might be of the opinion that one should shoot back to protect themselves 😛

Everybody agrees that the police should do it if anything though. Interesting how nobody really disagrees that you forfeit at least the legally guaranteed right to not get shot at... as soon as you shoot at somebody

[wispy marsh]

We once had a police officer who shot themselves in the toilet because they lost 10k (about 7k in usd)

Firearms are contraband for citizens here

That was a cold slap to me about how our realities differ from another's

[steep girder]

But legally guaranteed means at most just 'supposed to be diligently enforced; certain individuals have that due diligence also legally'. So, ideally, nobody who has to actually try protect your life breaks the law by idk... intentionally letting you get killed. If that happens, ideally it gets discovered and proven with a result where the law did its job in this regard as well.

Having said all that, if all goes perfectly so far, hopefully the officer will succeed in arriving within like 5 min drawing and shooting 1 or more perps

[steep girder]

I mean tbh before the shooting themselves in the foot part... what were they doing with 10 gs out in cash in a stall lmfao

[wispy marsh]

They shot themselves in the head. The 10k was the amount lost to job scams.

Officer's about the age of a fresh grad, too

[steep girder]

Here in Canada, pretty sure certain firearms are literally impossible to shoot legally. I could be wrong but AK-47 or anything AK-based

[vapid smelt]

i thought some where grandfatherd in

[wispy marsh]

Nah, it was a revolver i think

[steep girder]

This includes I think knockoffs and also derivs as far as even a dragunov (makes sense I guess if you're gonna do that). This is regardless of clip size and having a restriction on auto mode.

[wispy marsh]

You can survive a small bullet or buckshot with lower velocity, but a revolver? Ain't coming back from that one

[steep girder]

Well idk what there is to grandfather in. The earliest model was the ak47 itself in its full glory. It's from 1947 right?

[vapid smelt]

yup

[summer folio]

I once got a diploma in school(högstadiet) for being the most annoying/trolling.

[steep girder]

Idk how the ak based classification works but there has to be one. Could be action + automatic mechanism being somehow the same by certain parameters. I mean it was quite revolutionary because of the way it reloads. The second barrel below is connected somewhere to the main one and the gas expansion is responsible for cocking it back automatically

For some reason that feels wrong though. Was ak really the first gas-powered automatic system?

[steep girder]

Do both Norway and Sweden have universal healthcare or just Sweden?

[young moon]

Dragunov is manufactured by Kalashnikov so i think they’ve banned anything to do with Kalashnikov

[unkempt widget]

wtf that exists?

[unkempt widget]

i'm pretty sure you can use hunting rifles in canada

[steep girder]

Yeah. I mean, again, if you're banning all firearms because of something AKs are considered dangerous enough to do that, it makes perfect sense to ban a dragunov. It's just as deadly lol. Not sure about manufactured but I heard it was made on the AK platform and has some modifications to it

But still, it's a rifle which is outright banned regardless of semi auto restriction and any of the usual others like clips, barrel length whatever

I was told it's just because the AK is too bad-ass (dangerous)

[young moon]

Any weapon manufactured by kalashnikov is built up from ak’s

Or has like similiar parts

[steep girder]

But am I wrong or was AK actually the first design to use air pressure from combustion by diverting it?

[wooden pulsar]

side note: It was FreshBooks

[young moon]

That i dont know but could be possible since its very old

[steep girder]

I've looked at these things for time and realized that the weapons that get banned eventually are the most effective ones that don't suck, are affordable by ordinary folk, are practically available along with their ammunition. In other words, you can use them lol

AK tbh is bad choice over AR if you live anywhere in Canada. Not sure but are there even 762 soviet sold here?

I think there are nato 762 aks as well actually so there's that.

[young moon]

Yeah theres an Ak-308

Modified version of the Ak-12

[steep girder]

But all in all, nobody pays attention to how they're focused on the AR15 right now (they already restricted it to a mutant in some states). Before that, a bunch of similar things happened with rifles like FN-FAL.

[manic torrent]

Police, certainly in America, do not have to keep you safe at all.

[steep girder]

FN-FAL was supposed to be used as US military standard issue but they went with something else. There were already a bunch produced though. I think it was insanely easy to get one.

[young moon]

Americans have made their own version of the AK which is pretty cool

The CMMG Mk47 Mutant

[steep girder]

So yeah the motive is standard issue, they manufactured a craptonne of them, you can easily get ammo and the firearm itself, it does its job at protecting / taking out target threat because it's... for military use lol

That usually gets banned. Which begs the questions:
Why?
When is the purge?

[manic torrent]

Wrong. Many bullet wounds are not deadly, particularly if you get care ... But yeah directly in the head will do.it

[steep girder]

Aren't standard NATO rounds actually designed to maim and not kill?

[unkempt widget]

has anyone here seen a rubber bullet wound

[steep girder]

Like 556. That's what I heard. I mean you only have to incapacitate somebody on the battle field lol. Killing isn't necessary.

[manic torrent]

No, that's crap.

[steep girder]

Fair enough. That's a part of the same thing I heard where the soviet one, on the other hand, is supposed to kill or something

[manic torrent]

That's just 5.56 vs 7.62

[steep girder]

That would explain the AK ban. Honestly, I gotta check but if NATO chambered variants of AK are also banned in Canada (pretty sure they are)...

[manic torrent]

... plenty of ak style rifles in other calibres

[steep girder]

Probably the rifle design itself is too dangerous I guess

[golden talon]

now tell me there’s a difference between 308 winmag and 7.62 nato

[steep girder]

But, again, too dangerous? What does that mean? It's too effective at what it's intended to do?

308 winmag sounds like it's not yet rifled 😛

[wispy marsh]

Yeah, it was revolver at point blank

[steep girder]

Rubber bullet to the head tbh should have a wide range of severities when it comes to wounds

[golden talon]

FMJs are designed to penetrate, hollow points are the ones designed for hunting living things

[steep girder]

Point blank temple I think is death. Maybe the rest of the head. Depends on the gas pressure of the gun too lol.

Any range rubber bullet to the eye I'd bet is unfortunate

[unkempt widget]

it could kill tbh

[golden talon]

the real debate is

[steep girder]

Yeah so AK style comes down to what?

[golden talon]

45 ACP or 9mm?

[steep girder]

9mm is cheaper

[golden talon]

45 acp penetrates more

and is arguably more satisfying to shoot tbh

9mm is a faster round but 45 acp is a big boy

[steep girder]

Nah not sure about any of that

Faster is probably up to the gun

[golden talon]

9mm is tiny compared to 45 lol

[unkempt widget]

9mm > 45 acp

[golden talon]

i’ve shot a lot of both and 45 acp is just better

it’s so much fun to shoot

[steep girder]

Penetration idk but you can have different loads ammunition which means different muzzle energy. Both probably penetrate like crap compared to most rifle rounds because they're pistol cartridges lol. With pistol bullets.

[golden talon]

sure but pistol to pistol difference you’re gonna get way more results with an acp round

[steep girder]

It depends. I mean you can go into some serious rated armor plating and maybe some caliber/load/weapon managing to penetrate it at x meters away

But honestly, why? If you're facing somebody with armor vest, I'd forget the point blank ranges and leave just the farther ones

Because who with a kevlar vest and helmet or something would let you get a couple meters away lol. If a guy is wearing a vest, probably has a rifle at least drawn. They're not messing around

[fossil frost]

the thing is, its turned from "lets make a simple robot" to "ok, here are all the tools for the robot, the robots friends, the upgraded version of the robot, the AI that controls the robot, and then the config tools to tell the robot what it can and cannot do... plus a list about 3 pages long of other stuff it needs, before it can actually take a single step"... feels like ive jumped into a project hole, and im still waiting for the bottom 😄

[golden talon]

a well aimed FMJ 50 AE shot would probably knock him over

[steep girder]

(or reporter I guess -- they have no weapon maybe but you're trying to penetrate the vest of a guy who's just there to document lmao)

You always can tell apart the doc crew guys because if their vest isn't uniquely colored, they have some sweater over it saying REPORTER or whatever

Holding a giant telescopic lens and camera and running through desert dodging minigun rounds + missiles because they were mistaken for rpg guys

Which btw nobody would see if not for wikileaks maybe. I haven't heard about Assange recently

[fossil frost]

still being held without charge in a horrific prison in the uk, waiting to be extradited

[steep girder]

At one point I considered that Snowden could actually come back to US and get full pardon. Now I'm starting to think more and more that Snowden should stay in Russia lol.

[fossil frost]

personally signed every petition ive seen calling for his release, written to my MP and written to the PM too... not that my voice on its own means anything, but if enough of us do it, they will realise how pissed off they will make people if they do send him to the USA where he will disappear down a black hole forever

[manic torrent]

Blah.

He evaded charges from Sweden and pretended it was a conspiracy

[fossil frost]

even if snowdon did get a full pardon and go back to the USA, some glory hunter will kill him so they can brag about how they "killed the traitor"

[manic torrent]

While.doing so worked with the russians

Then the Russians were like... Lol thx bye

[steep girder]

I mean you agree that he's absolutely done nothing wrong right? Like Snowden did break serious laws technically. If you were to do the exact same in his position with the same information but change perhaps just one thing somewhere, you would literally be morally on the very opposite side.

Imagine Snowden told some anti-US power that people are getting spied on and they used that information to hack into like NSA and spy on US citizens as well...

[dull granite]

amyone like Hershey's here

[steep girder]

Pretty sure it's literally the same exact crime but with just one physical circumstance changed (apart from intent).

[fossil frost]

technically, Snowdon is the one who released the documents to the wild... Assange published documents that were released to him... same as any other journalist (ie. the woman who was given all of matt hancocks whatsapp messages to help him write a book, and immediately released them to all the papers). Assange is the posterchild for getting rid of whistleblowing in the USA right now, so they are going to stop at nothing, whether he has legally done anything wrong or not

Australia could fix Assange's issues by remembering he is an Australian national, claiming him back, and extraditing him to Australia, and then refusing to allow him to be extradited to the USA... but they have made a point about being very quiet on the whole thing

[steep girder]

Russia is a pog move because

1. They don't have agreement for any extradition with States; I'm not sure about even agreements with anywhere else that would ultimately wind up indirectly extraditing to US
2. They have no real interest in penalizing anything he did
3. He might be seen as a useful asset on the other hand

[fossil frost]

Assange has already been used up and spat out by Russia. Snowden will stay there for a while now, because 1. he cant leave with whats going on. 2. he will be killed if he does go anywhere near the USA. 3. while the thing that is going on with russia and the country im not sure if we can say their name for some reason... is obviously horrific, its only the same amount of horrific as what the USA does all the time. 4. russia didnt blow up the gas pipeline, the USA did...

[steep girder]

To be honest, he technically committed crimes which exposed information about the very portion of national security that was malfunctioned. Now that I think about it, it wasn't quite black and white like you'd think at first.

Espionage without permission I think has actually led to stopping real domestic terror plots in action. You can't really enforce a terrorist's constitution and spy on their plot at the same time.

[fossil frost]

and im saying all this country X == arsehole stuff, living in the country that is historically, probably one of the bigger arseholes... given that we and our navy took over about 3/4 of the planet at one point

[tired glade]

Why so political?!

[steep girder]

Idk but in Russia you just gotta not act out. They're not shy to use the batons or decent force. If you genuinely can't breathe, you'll stop at some point I imagine. It's bad but you risked it in the first place. The scariest thing atm I hear is bribes. Back in the fully bribed days, you were supposed to put like 5g RUB in your documents and registration please. The full procedures can be annoying to deal with. Not too long ago, some fight actually began against corruption like this

But idk if it's finished even still. In the end, you're left with traffic stops where you're not sure if you give passport with money inside or not.

[fossil frost]

isnt Alexei Navalny the one who had the balls to stand against everything that was going on? and is now currently in some really bad jail (and by really bad, i mean really bad even by russian standards) , after putin tried to have him assassinated several times

[steep girder]

Bribable officer = usual amount less than 100 dollars and you've paid your gold; no money and you could even get into some trouble you didn't see coming. They could always expand on the report lol

Unbribable officer = give money and now you have additional charge; don't give money and who knows

[steep girder]

Navalny was against Putin. I mean that's hella balls. If I did that, I'd do it outside of Russia or Belarus and never come back. Putin sends FBI raids on people without even hiding it

The news reports about a lot of terrorism are memes there. One time a suspicious package found in the subway was reported on like chan 1 news before it was called in to police lmfao

Literally news reporter saying they apprehended the package; they're pulling up in the background. Manufacturing consent for wars: everybody does it

[fossil frost]

Putin sent 2 russian spies to the uk to kill some dude, and didnt hide it, i cant imagine how much he doesnt hide it when its within russia... and those guys looked like if you went on amazon and typed in "russian spy costume" or... what russian spies would look like in a comedy movie about russian spies... they were so stereotypical looking, it was funny (funny except for that they killed a dude)

[steep girder]

US and Russia often have the war in the same place where one backs the opposite of two sides

[fossil frost]

because thats how they make money, and justify their own military spending

[steep girder]

Well actually that one was sus. Didn't read up on any updates after a short few months or something actually. As it happens with a lot of these stories, they just stop getting updated for some reason.

[steep girder]

Wasn't the guy traded with Russia for its own spy? I mean killing a guy you already discovered spied on you + knew where he's taking refuge... I think it was years or even decades after. Why?

Then it was an outlawed neurotoxin which was banned from use worldwide... but everyone still has some lol

[fossil frost]

we (UK) hear a lot about the russian ones like this, because... russia... we dont hear much about all the stuff the CIA and FBI and NSA does in the USA and how many people disappear into a black hole, or, just go missing...

[steep girder]

You know when they ban a lot of chemical weapons, they actually allow a certain quantity still?

I only have a little bit of super-sarine liquid lol... it's for research

[fossil frost]

actually... its happened twice in recent memory... Sergei and Yulia Skripal in 2018 and Alexander Litvinenko in 2006

[steep girder]

A bit of whatever novichok is kills upon touching it. If you get treatment, you may get better and unlikely it's full recovery without any lasting effects

Then apparently it still causes cancer a lot of the times. Definitely should be banned from use ever. But apparently right where it happened a chemical plant produced it allegedly. Everybody said Russia did it. US I wouldn't be surprised if they had some (or even more than what's agreed limit)... but if it was Russia, at least they didn't use it on anybody

[steep girder]

Yeah that was the very thing. Yulia wasn't even meant to get poisoned with it. She just happened to also touch like a door knob or something. That's after she found Sergei on the bench barely responsive. I don't remember but it was messed

[fossil frost]

the 2 russian guys tested their novichok on 2 english people before they went after Skripal. all recovered, even the police officer who became seriously ill after he searched Skripal's house wearing a full hazmat suit... the perfume bottle it was in, was later found, and was found to have enough novichok to kill 1000s of people

[steep girder]

Spies get insanely disproportionate cruelty whenever there are attempts to assassinate them lmao. One guy by the name Litvenenko was poisoned with polonium. Tbh it was quite popular amongst intelligence agencies at a certain point. Polonium = no real cure either.

[fossil frost]

yep, mentioned it a few messages ago, he died over the course of several weeks, in a very painful death

[steep girder]

You can maybe inject stuff that absorbs most of the radiation inside them.

Yeah dude it's cruel beyond comprehension. That very same thing when they showed chernobyl firefighters burning up. Idk about the charred part irl. That I never even knew about. But the worst of was unwatchable.

[tired glade]

It's still going

[steep girder]

Chernobyl? I think the gov is still paying people out in like Kiev not sure.

[graceful burrow]

[steep girder]

The damage to people's lives is still going on. Forget the exclusion zone. Which by the way not sure if we can stop the cleanup either.

[tired glade]

They starting to loop, I am more about that

[steep girder]

They're already building or finishing second dome around it lol. The first dome has to be covered up I guess. There's nothing else more practical they can do.

[fossil frost]

there are parts of **__Wales __**in the UK that you cant go because of Chernobyl....

[graceful burrow]

It's cringe either way

[tired glade]

Let's see in what trenches they sitting

[steep girder]

Wait ok that I'm not sure about. I mean all of Europe must have felt it (but it's hard to prove to a certain small extent). But where in Wales is this lol?

[amber cairn]

still a lot of places in northern sweden where you can't harvest any berries/mushrooms or hunt animals because of the fallout

[amber cairn]

[fossil frost]

many studies have been done on it, and its the exact isotopes from chernobyl

Like the elephant foot: what can they do apart from building domes around it? The only alternative is to put it somewhere out of all biology's reach where it won't be able to come back. Idk what the first guaranteed depths are but...

You just tow it outside the environment

[fossil frost]

only way to get it "away from biology" is to throw it into the sun... but... expensive and super dangerous to try

[manic torrent]

Is it.... Good?

How does it compare to a train, for example

[steep girder]

Yeah I realize that. It's exactly why I'm amazed that today they decided to build just another dome around it. In other words, they don't want to touch it for some reason

[graceful burrow]

That seems pretty sensible.

[steep girder]

Yes. And I think won't decay to safe non-killer levels in at least a couple decades. But I'm pretty sure it's one of those thousands years grade

[graceful burrow]

I was gonna talk about ai work and the potential of Intel's one api

[steep girder]

Could be wrong but even 30 years of building domes and making sure it doesn't sink through into aquifer is serious work lol

[manic torrent]

Because the kind of idiot that would do that also wouldn't check it.

[steep girder]

Physics is weird. Nuclear physics is something that usually kills everything or leaves it. Every result in between is mostly damaging in a way uniform to all biology. Since the dawn of life on Earth, we had basically the same thing as chernobyl damaging us randomly but once in a blue moon, it's survivable and somehow favored mutations.

[steep girder]

Well yeah. But that's the simplicity behind it all. Biology also survived one way or another as what tolerates occasional sun rays, etc. It's scary how most of the time, DNA damage kills the cell or stops it from reproducing into a living one, etc, etc. Then you're still left with somehow the opposite: a faster growth of usually life threatening tumors.

[manic torrent]

Can someone tag mods, discord is a piece of shit.

[steep girder]

    Trisomy 21: About 95% of people with Down syndrome have Trisomy 21.2 With this type of Down syndrome, each cell in the body has 3 separate copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual 2 copies.
    Translocation Down syndrome: This type accounts for a small percentage of people with Down syndrome (about 3%).2 This occurs when an extra part or a whole extra chromosome 21 is present, but it is attached or “trans-located” to a different chromosome rather than being a separate chromosome 21.
    Mosaic Down syndrome: This type affects about 2% of the people with Down syndrome.2 Mosaic means mixture or combination. For children with mosaic Down syndrome, some of their cells have 3 copies of chromosome 21, but other cells have the typical two copies of chromosome 21. Children with mosaic Down syndrome may have the same features as other children with Down syndrome. However, they may have fewer features of the condition due to the presence of some (or many) cells with a typical number of chromosomes.

some company near me who installs them, does 0% finance on them, and, negative % finance if you let them claim the feed-in-tariff from overproduction. so im paying almost nothing for them compared to how much i was paying for electricity before them

[full fossil]

Why do I get mod bing I'm not a mod

[steep girder]

Ah right so the thing where you give back to the grid?

[timid meadow]

That happened to me for like 6 months or more then just stopped. No idea why

[fossil frost]

and im still hooked up to the grid to be able to feed into the grid, and, if my batteries fall below 20%, they charge from the grid to maintain a 20% minimum

[full fossil]

It's been happening for a while now

[steep girder]

I heard here they don't pay you some first years. Not sure. They like raise your bill per how much energy you give back

Pretty sure in ON it's not even worth it. Never bought solar panels and converted house though so idk lol. Wherever I've seen solar panels installed by people I know, it's off grid lmfao.

[timid meadow]

Dude this amoled mode in the discord app looks sweet wtf. Love this new screen

[summer folio]

Nordics

[steep girder]

Solar panel cabin + LTE antenna and sim card lol. Then a few cameras with their own solar panels in various parts around property. So cameras on 24/7 and connected.

Everything else = power by diesel genny

Which actually was the first time I'd seen a brownout glitch out something digital. It was an RCA TV. It was stuck for a bunch of seconds with weird menus and stuff. Basically froze with jumbled things but they were clearly software looking. So that TV I guess didn't have any protections in power supply like computers do lmfao

[unkempt widget]

damn you must've trolled a lot

[steep girder]

Thank god pc power supply shuts down when it's not getting enough power lmfao

[unkempt widget]

my physics teacher is the biggest troll

[fossil frost]

tbh, if the UK government stopped subsidising the power companies (owned by themselves and their friends) and started using that money to install solar panels on all government buildings and government housing, and then paid for panels to go on private buildings and housing... we would be less reliant on their russian friends gas and oil, less reliant on their friends north sea gas and oil, and, be helping contribute massively towards reducing climate change

[steep girder]

Picture power flickers or brownout but your pc stays on and writes a bunch of shite to ssd.

[unkempt widget]

he just randomly asks my classmate "what was the last thing i said" and then my classmate said what he said word for word

[steep girder]

Or starts flashing bios somehow lol.

[fossil frost]

anyone else remember the "net send" issue in windows xp, where you could force display a message on any machine on a network running xp? 😄 had so much fun with that in college 😄

[unkempt widget]

my teacher then insisted my classmate was wrong

and i saw my classmate being so scared

[steep girder]

CLI means command line interface. Literally anything that prompts for a text command

Bash/ksh/etc is a cli but they call it shells

[unkempt widget]

and then he said, "the last thing i said was i asked you, 'what was the last thing i said'"

[steep girder]

Windows shell is not cli

CMD is the one and only cli but some people think power shell is good

[unkempt widget]

"see, you're not paying attention"

[fossil frost]

powershell is good... as is windows terminal

[steep girder]

Which it is tbh because dos isn't compatible w gnu

Except line endings sort of. DOS line endings are the only ones that work on mac and linux as well

But both of them also end up with an extra character which might not get ignored. Line endings there though

[unkempt widget]

whenever my biology teacher notices that someone isn't paying attention, he just randomly starts talking about a fruit and then interrupts the class by asking what fruit he was talking about

[steep girder]

Wow did anybody notice how both Linux and Windows have regular keyboards. Mac doesn't

[fossil frost]

tbh, the stuff you are doing now to teachers is nothing compared to what we did to teachers back when teachers knew nothing about computers in the early 2000s, when they were literally just reading out a textbook at you, and you already knew more than they did

[unkempt widget]

it's the funniest thing ever lol

[steep girder]

But one thing people might not every come across anymore is regular keyboard with everything on it except no windows keys lol

FN yeah that's another one. Function is a weird one they made it.

Tbh FN might be bad. I think FN has its own key code but usually it modifies the key signals themselves. I could be wrong

[unkempt widget]

NOT IN MY SCHOOL

[steep girder]

But basically you might have a key which modifies the other keys coming from hardware and yet you can still poll and everything like a normal key

[fossil frost]

we would go round the class and swap keys on keyboards... not ALL of them... just a few, so at first glance, the keyboard looked fine, but then people started to get confused when they actually looked at the I and L were swapped over, and the M and N were swapped over

[unkempt widget]

OOPS CAPS

[steep girder]

Plus, in BIOS, there's sometimes a setting to default function keys in reverse. HP came like that for me. I was sitting there hitting f9 wondering wtf it's not working

[unkempt widget]

bruh that sucks so much

[steep girder]

Then I remembered oh yeah! Laptop! Held fn for every f* key

Then rebooted into bios in hopes of having setting to turn it back to normal. It was the only place I could think of to change this kind of crap

[polar steeple]

Alright I'm at the airport with a flight to catch in 30 minutes who wants to talk some shit

[past egret]

what plane

i need to know

[polar steeple]

Some shitty canadair commuter jet

[steep girder]

Oh nvm I was wrong: Fn key usually doesn't have a keycode or event. This is good 👍 👍 👍 👍

[past egret]

damn.

[polar steeple]

It's a bombardier crj900

[steep girder]

Wtf is Canadair

[polar steeple]

Honestly don't mind because my suitcase gets gate checked so I can just stow my laptop bag and keep all my legroom

[steep girder]

Does bombardier even still make aircraft?

[polar steeple]

It's like a sub brand of bombardier I guess

When I fly American It's bombardier when I fly delta it's canadair but it's the same plane

[steep girder]

Oh wow yeah. Dafuq why did my friend always berate Canada for this

Maybe we were talking military aviation. The Arrow or whatever

No I feel like I've been through this. There are more still.

[polar steeple]

They're honestly fine

Kinda slow for a jet

[steep girder]

Whenever anybody takes the Toronto subway, they're on bombardier

...trains

xD

[polar steeple]

Yeah bombardier made all sorts of shit

They make like, gondolas too

[steep girder]

Lol true. Where the f do you take a gondola in Canada

[polar steeple]

Ski resort

[steep girder]

Oh those gondolas

[polar steeple]

Yeah lol

[steep girder]

Right ok. I was thinking Venice gondolas

They take those there because every road is water lmfao

[polar steeple]

Indubitably

[steep girder]

It's on stilts and sinking apparently. Most places the water is just rising lol

Maybe since we have artificial islands, we can put one of those underneath Venice. Boom. Disaster avoided.

Then again they like vacuum pumped and launched the sand for the arabian ones pretty sure

For Venice, gotta snipe it underneath...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_1ze5LbV0I

Yeah idk. They should do something about Venice if they haven't planned it yet. That and volcanos. Stopping volcanos from erupting or some sort of protection would be nice for Honolulu and stuff... or maybe stop building near/on volcanos

But before all that tbh also gotta figure out how to deflect or destroy asteroids the size of NFL field or bigger... after figuring out the 100% detection

Literally things man kind has to do in order to not randomly roll bad rng and die unexpectedly. Something to do I guess...

[polar steeple]

Volcanoes do be crazy though

Gotta tell you

For someone from, as you describe it, near Estonia, your English is impeccable

[nova siren]

First message I see on joining:
"Volcanoes do be crazy though"

Love it

[polar steeple]

Oh I got zapped

Tell me your thoughts on volcanoes

Volcanos?

[fossil frost]

volcanoes are both amazing and terrifying in equal amounts

[nova siren]

Volcanoes* are cool and scary

[polar steeple]

They're like nuclear bombs that live inside us

[nova siren]

XD

[polar steeple]

Why do people stand up before they even call to board the plane

It's not that serious

[fossil frost]

"it might explode anywhere between now... and 10 years from now" 22 years later... "it should have already gone.. when it does go... we are fucked" 10 more years later "this is really going to suck balls" ...volcano goes off like a small fart... "wtf was that?"

or... "this eruption is nothing to worry about" ...10,000 people die... "fuck"

[polar steeple]

Someone needs to teach these volcanoes a lesson

They can't keep getting away with it

[fossil frost]

the USA has had plans (similar to all of its plans) to drop nuclear bombs into volcanoes to force them to go off at safe levels, rather than these super eruptions

[steep girder]

Exactly. Those prehistoric craters are beyond reasonable doubt exactly what they look like: giant meteors which cause world wide disaster. Probably at least a couple of those events like the Triassic extinction were caused by them. And yet we survived all of it. However, we never know when a large enough meteor will hit that wipes out all life on Earth right away. It's possible.

But they say an nfl field size meteor is enough to affect the whole planet pretty badly. This is a problem right now they're trying to solve because that's still too small to detect with a decent enough success rate. Sadly, it's already big enough to lead to even our extinction.

A really massive one maybe we can see from far away... but we still have to stop it lol. Just like in that movie where we plant nukes in the hopes of breaking it into meteorites (they'll burn up). We only got half in the end but even that was a win lol. Some cities got day after tomorrowed, etc. But it would have been worse

Volcanoes too. Krakatoa erupted in like the 8th century AD and supposedly cased a decade of nuclear winter basically. Without the radiation I guess... that's already a good improvement. Still, a lot of vegetation likely died. Probably some species extinct we'll never see again.

Think of critical level endangered species we're holding in enclosures because there are like hundreds left in total lol. Not a good number to face famine + ashes in the entire troposphere idk. So volcanoes are a pretty real natural disaster for the environment.

[unkempt widget]

lol i would join in but i don't know much about volcanos

[steep girder]

Global warming is bad but if it turns out to still be a couple inches when super rock hits... would be unfortunate. Capping CO2 emissions was not a good priority lmao.

[steep girder]

Well out of what we know, pretty sure the worst of it is still not predictable 100%. And you need that 100% lol. Then again, what can you do. Not sure if it's practical to stop a volcano lol

[unkempt widget]

build a wall smh, how hard can it be

when a volcano goes off, just use your iron bucket smh

[steep girder]

They don't mess with it. Where it's really dangerous for certain populations nearby, they just monitor always as much seismic activity as possible.

[unkempt widget]

wait guys

[manic torrent]

"we" survived? My dude, your take on history is absolutely cracked

[unkempt widget]

nvm that's stupid

[steep girder]

Well yeah, or again, don't build beside volcano lol. Whenever I think of the most recent disaster in Japan, I can't help but wonder why an atomic station was built right on the shore of a known Tsunami area. Somebody said that it's for aux power which they need... but hydro dam can be built in continental river lol

[unkempt widget]

i was kidding lol

[steep girder]

You know what doesn't ever get Tsunamis btw? Continental rivers

[unkempt widget]

btw isn't krakatoa 1883, and it caused a year of horrible harvests because the summer was actually winter

[steep girder]

Well I mean I'm talking about it like a meme but irl it's actually a real problem we have which wee need to solve... if we want to survive guaranteed. I mean we survived the Krakatoa 1st millennium eruption along with whatever else is here today.

[steep girder]

I read about one that was longer I think and just before the story of a certain flight from Mecca to Medina took place. By a hundred or so years. That's how I remembered it lol. Honestly, I think Krakatoa erupted more than once and caused something massive scaled.

[unkempt widget]

i can't find anything about krakatoa erupting before 1000

i did find 946 eruoption of paektu mountain, in korea and china

nvm there is one in 546

[fossil frost]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_St._Helens <<< went full beans in 1980

there are videos too

[unkempt widget]

lol

[steep girder]

Yeah mb maybe it's not Krakatoa

[unkempt widget]

anyways here's a fun fact: the bicycle was invented in 1884, during the year following the krakatoa eruption, where a lot of horses died due to the cold

[steep girder]

Honestly though best we can do is monitor and dip as soon as we think there might be an eruption (whoever is near a volcano). I think there are even signatures that are very faint at first which can point to an eruption ahead of time.

Like that movie where they realized slowly that the volcano is about to blow but they couldn't get to the right channels and evac on time lol

In the end, he was like on jeep driving through jungle away from fireball lmfao.

[unkempt widget]

here's another fun fact: mary shelley's frankenstein was written during the year, there was actually a competition for writing horror books (i'm pretty sure, please don't fact check that)

[fossil frost]

mary shelley's frankenstein was written during the year because there was fuck all else to do, and it was just dark most of the time

[unkempt widget]

i'm pretty sure during the year, cereal prices in new england went up by 4 times or smth

[steep girder]

I mean I guess all the accounts say there were hardships. Still... some say apparently snow in the summer lmfao. Like bread shortage. Still pretty bad.

The meteors I feel like we can solve though.

[unkempt widget]

didn't veritasium make a video basically explaining the small meteorites are the ones that we have to be afraid of

[steep girder]

Until a certain size. But I guess the bigger it is, the earlier we have a chance to detect it in theory. Just apply thrust on one side to divert it. Hopefully it's somewhere safe in the end.

[unkempt widget]

didn't we send a satellite to a meteor and made it change course like a lot

[fossil frost]

the bigger it is, the more inertia it has, and the less we can do about it

[steep girder]

Tbh if a giant rock misses and slings past Earth's gravity, you still know it's out there somewhere in solar system potentially. On the upside, there are certain things that protect us from significantly large bodies. Apparently Jupiter is a god send. Jupiter protects us somehow

[fossil frost]

jupiter is the vacuum cleaner of the solar system. our moon is so large compared to the size of earth too, that acts like a pretty good shield

[steep girder]

Yeah. I mean then there's extra solar stuff that comes in from somewhere else

What I wonder is where did it come from and how fast is it flying given that it escaped another system likely

[unkempt widget]

it's not just about it's inertia

it's also how fast it's moving towards earth

[fossil frost]

yes, and you need to overcome its inertia to alter that

and you can do that with more mass, or, more speed

[steep girder]

No but stars move at various velocities relative to each other. Our whole galaxy actually consists of orbiting stars around its center lol.

[fossil frost]

but we have a physical limit on both on what we can build

[steep girder]

Stars aren't fixed either. They're just on a big enough scale where it's irrelevant for one life time today. But dinosaurs in the Jurassic times would actually see the night sky quite differently. It did change quite a bit within the entire time life was on Earth

[unkempt widget]

so apparently dart hit the asteroid at 14k mph which whould be 22,530kph which would be 6,258m/s

[steep girder]

Earth itself is more than one galactic year old too I remember

[unkempt widget]

dart is 610kg

which would mean a momentum of 3817380kgms-1

[steep girder]

When I was interested about how significant the stars change is to us, I recall even figuring that perhaps in our recorded history there were some noticeable differences here and there. Like stars did in fact change since we began recording them I'm pretty sure

Look at all the earliest copies of the constellations on paper we've found. They look all messed up lmfao

[unkempt widget]

apparently the average asteroid would travel at 12,000kph which would mean 3333m/s

[steep girder]

Lol SI units 3333

[unkempt widget]

so the meteorite asteroid we could stop is just above one metric ton (1,145kg)

hmmm that's lower than i thought tbh

[steep girder]

What a beautiful number. Almost like somebody typed it into box in Universe Sandbox

[unkempt widget]

12000/3.6 is just 3333.3333333333333333333

[steep girder]

Like what am I gonna make this black hole the size of in rsun? 3333333333

[unkempt widget]

i hate it when it's just like that

[steep girder]

Yeah but the 3.6 is from 60*60 no?

[unkempt widget]

yep
60*60/1000

[steep girder]

Yeah the minutes and hours come from second. Not the other way around

[shrewd jacinth]

What is this conversation about?

[unkempt widget]

the most common meteorite would be between 128-256g

[unkempt widget]

meteorites hitting earth

[shrewd jacinth]

Alright

[unkempt widget]

actually no, half are smaller than 283g

[steep girder]

How a meteor or volcano can wipe us out but one of them is unsolvable. Jupiter protects us with its gravity from the really big meteors. Volcanoes might have no real solution

[unkempt widget]

90% are smaller than 5400g

which is 5.4kg obv

[steep girder]

Did you guys see even the meteorite? It burned up alright... but got low enough to blow out every window in a city lol.

[unkempt widget]

correction: meteorite, not asteroid lol

although an asteroid hitting earth would be quite bad

[fossil frost]

ha.. that abusive trolling dick hole from earlier on who got muted, started sending me abusive and racist DMs... reported to discord... fully banned from discord now 😄

[unkempt widget]

nice

[steep girder]

Some are small enough to touch down but not do anything big right? Like a meter deep hole and it's steaming. Apparently that's when you cue the feds + military and they hide it. So they say if they also believe in aliens...

[unkempt widget]

can you dm me some screenshots? i wanna see (also delete that message before mods come in)

[steep girder]

They should have responded that fast like in the mythos to the balloon lol. That's a UFO

[fossil frost]

yep, i own a couple of those (found 2, verified too, and bought 1)

all 3 about the size of a thumbnail, about half an inch (were probably bigger when they hit the atmosphere)

[steep girder]

It's unidentified, it's flying, and this time, it's actually technology... clearly

Like exotic outer coating texture or not... it's an unidentified balloon flying over USA

[fossil frost]

UFO is exactly that... an object, that is flying, and you dont know what it is... UFO isnt a synonym for aliens

[steep girder]

What do we know about aliens? Nothing. This includes nothing that could mean they hold a grudge against us lol. What do we know about certain other countries? They aren't allowed to be in that airspace and might be spying lmfao

[steep girder]

Yeah my point exactly. A secret air base might actually have UFOs or something under high classified status. Although they quickly drop the U once they read the soviet writing lmfao

Oh lol phew it's old soviet satellite that everybody forgot about. Thank god it didn't hit anything but desert...

[fossil frost]

they drop the U as soon as they see the "Made in china" sticker

[steep girder]

Yeah lol that's another possibility always

[manic torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/aliens-history-history-channel-meme-gif-10744300

[tired glade]

Totally them

[steep girder]

But some with the made in china can be identified by everyone and still pose an immediate threat lmfao

We've seen that recently. They lost control. I remember that time of panic where they weren't even sure which hemisphere it would land in

[fossil frost]

most stuff crashes at point nemo, by design

[steep girder]

It turns out that when satellites crash, we always control the crash and sink it in one place like south pacific

[fossil frost]

yep, that place is called point nemo... furthest place away from any populated landmass

[steep girder]

I don't remember but might be right around point nemo. It's the farthest place from all land on Earth lol

Yee

Makes sense tbh

[fossil frost]

there are parts of the day where a ship will be around that point, and the closest people to them are the people on the ISS

[steep girder]

Lol that's pretty weird to think about

[shrewd jacinth]

Where should i message to ask questions about a 3d printer?

[steep girder]

Well I mean apart from pirates. You never know if there's somehow a south pacific pirate closer. They don't identify or send out beacon signal

[shrewd jacinth]

Like which channel

[fossil frost]

there are specific 3D printing discord servers which are better suited, like the marlin (for firmware questions) or the general 3D printing discord

[shrewd jacinth]

Ok thanks

[steep girder]

Lol south pacific pirate. The closes thing you can board and rob is ISS

[fossil frost]

wtf... fucking bot

[unkempt widget]

i mean to discord servers

[young root]

my birthday present was sending floatplane 5$

[steep girder]

httpz://www/,www/http:com.yeet/index.gif

^ invalid

[steep girder]

This is a discord server. Not sure what your url was but I can do valid and invalid ones

file:///C:/

[unkempt widget]

i mean discord server links

[steep girder]

Oh. Ok.

Those can be just links. But tbh I think it automatically converts it into those invite boxes or whatever. Yeah I think most servers block invites.

Imagine a giant server where it's not blocked. Everybody is bot spamming invites. You don't want that.

Also posting your own ip or somebody else's. That's against the rules in a lot of servers. I think here too.

You're not supposed to see any user's IP on disc. If it's possible, that's some bug. Xbox live did that for a while in lobbies which gave us those hilarious prank call videos with the african warlord tho

[unkempt widget]

i wanna make a joke but i'm afraid i would get banned

[steep girder]

I mean most stuff just filters out and you get a message saying it got removed

As long as it's not illegal and doesn't involve the aforementioned 👍

Just read the rules lol

[unkempt widget]

i was gonna say that my ip was 255.255.0.0

(because that's the subnet mask)

[plush rivet]

Even if you say your ip it wouldn’t make much of a difference

especially if it’s by a DHCP server

[steep girder]

VPN average user be like:

Use vpn
Microsoft Windows TM 11 Service Sends Telemetry
You're on MS Edge which also sends telemetry of their page you're on with some session-type unique ID
Microsoft figures out it's you on VPN IP

You can hit new location in Nord but you didn't realize you were pwnt yet

The whole day you surf on VPN but ads keep personalizing lol

[unkempt widget]

me who uses a vpn to bypass china:

[steep girder]

Ultimately it was just marketing information about you so whatevs

[steep girder]

That's fine. It's the other way around that's dangerous

[unkempt widget]

wdym other way around

[steep girder]

Because if you're using VPN in China and they find out, they can walk to your house

[unkempt widget]

lol

[steep girder]

And it's against Chinese law. Idk what punishment is but could be bad. Fun game on newgrounds turns into pretty bad decision quickly lol

[unkempt widget]

lol don't worry about me

[steep girder]

Well I mean we're not in China so... at least I'm not. I've been to Russia; the federal government orders individual ISPs to block certain 'illegal' sites

[unkempt widget]

i am in china

[steep girder]

Torrent sites and trackers are blocked but just the Russian ones.

[steep girder]

Oh! Is Discord not allowed?

[unkempt widget]

yep

basically any website where users can say anything they want is banned in china

[tired glade]

Not all of Discord banned in China

[unkempt widget]

what

[tired glade]

Some servers un acceptable, that's all

[full fossil]

Can I run blender on a celeron cpu

[unkempt widget]

what the fuck

where in china are you living

[unkempt widget]

it will run, that's for sure

[steep girder]

It's Microsoft. I imagine they're not banned in China lol. The server is also I think actually Discord's. Servers on Disc doesn't mean the owner hosts. I wonder how they get around that. Let's say there's something illegal China or whichever country wants to ban in a specific disc community. The server itself might not be telling of which community you're in.

[tired glade]

Technically

[unkempt widget]

the entirety of discord is banned
and discord isn't owned by microsoft

[full fossil]

I keep getting an error message that I don't have a GPU

And I need a driver

[unkempt widget]

that's a gpu issue then

[steep girder]

That actually happens pretty sure. Like entire services get in trouble because of third party. Then it's on the service provider to deal with it because they get cease and desist or DMCA whatever.

[unkempt widget]

download it then

[full fossil]

I don't have one

[unkempt widget]

microsoft isn't banned in china lol

[unkempt widget]

what the fuck

[full fossil]

Tell that to my family who got me a laptop without a gpu for blender

[tired glade]

Some apps work differently

[full fossil]

It won't even launch

[steep girder]

So like twitch.tv having record company bot automatically detect its copyrighted songs and automatically mail thousands of DMCA to twitch.tv webmaster email in DNS record. This is twitch themselves. Now they have to somehow get rid of whatever is supposed to be copyright violating content in a link.

[unkempt widget]

a celeron processor has an igpu lol

also don't run blender on a celeron laptop, you'll probably overheat it

[full fossil]

I know but I can't find a driver for it

[steep girder]

People always complained about the careless bans in places like twitch. IRL it's the DMCAs sent by copyright holders in such masses that you can't possible check each one with a human and decide if DMCA is bogus or not

[unkempt widget]

search it up

[steep girder]

In the end, everyone gets banned lol

[unkempt widget]

wdym
also my audio is gone, does that normally happen while updating audio drivers?

[full fossil]

Stop making shit worse man if you don't have a solution fuck off,
My parents have been shouting at me for hours now I specifically told them a gtx 1650 laptop but they bought a celeron garbage

[unkempt widget]

holy shit i understand you're impatient

[steep girder]

YouTube actually was pretty neat with their idea. You get strikes to kick out repeating offenders; the video gets taken down so they technically complied. But if you appeal and they verify that it's fair use, you get video back + strike removed.

Sadly, it's still abused though 😦

[full fossil]

I'm not impatient I've been waiting 4 fucking years for the laptop and they did this

[steep girder]

One hour hidden tweet can be like millions of views lol

[tired glade]

Windows China edition exist,even tho Windows mostly removed from offices,and apps like calinder syncs with Chinese servers

[full fossil]

And they made my birthday horrible

[unkempt widget]

but i don't think a celeron laptop will be able to run blender
definitely not with an igpu
although you should search up which processor you got, and what igpu you got

[steep girder]

Dude Lenovos came at some point with a tunnel to china built in or something

[tired glade]

VPNs banned on paper with timer on them

[steep girder]

It was in the firmware I think. So... yeah. Unless they released another version of the firmware for chinese NIC, you had chinese access

[steep girder]

Tbh is banning all known VPN blocks still a thing? I mean you can just do that. Also geo ip for Russia, Ukraine and like a few other hot zones lmao

Russian and Ukranian IPs attack you without VPN a lot. Literally shamelessly showing address because it's empty apartment paid in cash with internet subscription paid from yandex wallet

Idk like you know the ip and maybe even location. Nice.

[full fossil]

It's this thing celeron n4020

[steep girder]

It can run blender

i just got a call from my land lord, and he said he never ever seen someone use so much water/electricity in his life :V and said "god help you" xD

it was around 20000 liters lol

[trim robin]

Do you actually do something that uses a lot?

[fossil parrot]

Yo guys any just good tip when putting in a gpu witch is 9 years old 💀

[full fossil]

i like to take hot shower for usually 1h xD every day OwO
i also, i just use a lot of it when cooking or washing hands, i just hate limiting myself xD
plus i have really op pc, which uses a lot of electricity, also electric radiator, and i keep lights on everywhere,
everything just makes life easier lol

[young bloom]

no

[young bloom]

thats a waste

[full fossil]

you're a waste >:[

there a lot of water on earth :V

[young bloom]

you are the direct cause of climate change and water shortages

[full fossil]

[full fossil]

[gilded plinth]

water cooling from a tap?

[full fossil]

lol

[night heron]

i also take hour long hot showers

but we have no separate water bill, it’s lumped in with general city tax and you can use as much as you want

[unkempt widget]

wtf did you even do OwO

[full fossil]

i shower! xP

[unkempt widget]

wtf you shower for this long???

[full fossil]

yes!

[unkempt widget]

the last time i showered was like 3 days ago
i'm lucky i don't have any bo

20,000 litres

how much is that

[full fossil]

lol, i just like it, so warm

[full fossil]

idk, like 1/3 of a pool

[unkempt widget]

so showering does 10 litres per minute

[night heron]

i feel disgusting if i don’t shower once a day

[unkempt widget]

so you showered for 2000 minutes in 1 month

that's 83 hours a month

or 83 hours/720 hours

wait what

[night heron]

i can’t get in my bedsheets without showering man

[full fossil]

what maths are u doing XD

[unkempt widget]

so you spent 11.5% of your life showering

[unkempt widget]

i added an extra decimal place oops

[full fossil]

probably more like 7% cuz i use water for other stuff too xD

[unkempt widget]

you don't get to talk to me, i get an A* in math in grade 10
i wonder where you were in school in grade 10
that's right, you weren't in school in grade 10

[unkempt widget]

how are you gonna spend 5000 litres+ on other stuff

[full fossil]

lol, if i went to school, i wouldn't have time to study :V

[unkempt widget]

you think i study?

did you see my discord usage during exam week

[full fossil]

idk 😭 im gonna go do excel sheet one day just for this

[unkempt widget]

i sent the graph remember?

[unkempt widget]

ew use google sheets

[full fossil]

yes xP

[unkempt widget]

actually, meh, it's up to you

[full fossil]

i like studying 😭 but only things i care about,
im not gonna waste another second of my life writing essays about history of door nobs xD

[unkempt widget]

you don't like history?

i find great offense in that tbh

[full fossil]

i really dont, but im kind of forced to know some, because who dont know history, are bound to repeat it XD

i want my world domination plan to be perfect

[unkempt widget]

as someone who loves history, that's bullshit
it's only an excuse to for schools to teach history
the real reason they teach history, or at least at first, was because it was easy propaganda

[unkempt widget]

lol

i bet lithuanian schools still milk the hell out of the grand duchy of lithuania and the soviet occupation

[full fossil]

lol, wish world could have been different xP

[unkempt widget]

the easiest way to get people to become patriotic and nationalistic is by making your own country seem like a victim - the us does it (they're always defending, never attacking), japan does it (never goes into detail about wwii, unless it's about the nuclear bomb), everyone does it

it's called revanchism, an ideology based off of retaking lost land

where you rile up the masses by blaming another country for the state of the economy, for the state of the military, etc. and you promise to deal with it by being hostile towards the country that did it

[full fossil]

they literally repeat soviet occupation like in EVERY class, not even history class XD like almost every subject has something to do with history about Lithuania occupation by soviets,
they force everyone to read books and watch movies about it constantly,
and even generals from the military come to talk about it and to join the army xD and at one school where my friend goes they even said "you wont escape the army"

[unkempt widget]

i mean soviet occupation was quite bad, but yeah

i get what you're saying

ope, there goes my laptop, i just factory reset it

[full fossil]

lol, makes perfect sense xP

[unkempt widget]

bruh the chinese translation is so weird
you know how it usually says "your computer may restart multiple times during the installation of windows?"

[full fossil]

i just wish they finished the job and executed everyone >:[ fuck this country, i hate living here

[unkempt widget]

here it straight up says, "it might restart up to a thousand times"

[unkempt widget]

even the soviets knew better than that

they needed cheap labour

and cheap materials

poland got majorly fucked because they had to sell coal to russia at 10x less the price

[full fossil]

fuck them too xD i hate everyone, why must world be so fucking stupid >:[

[unkempt widget]

and that means all the local mining cooperations couldn't afford to pay their workers without falling apart, and polish standard of living was lower than of the ussr

[unkempt widget]

pick your poison, there's clearly one side that is better than the other

[full fossil]

ye, ireland xP seems good enough to me

[unkempt widget]

why not switzerland

hmmm their militias might be an issue for you

but don't act as if irish people don't do crazy stuff in schools to make their schoolchildren proud of ireland

[full fossil]

conscription laws xP
im not going to ANY country that has stupid conscription laws,
i dont want my family (if i ever have one) to deal with nonsense

[unkempt widget]

you won't need to be conscripted, unless you were a citizen

[full fossil]

what choice do i have 😭
buy a island?

[full fossil]

i meant my family :V if they were born there, they would be citizens, im just thinking ahead XD

no blood tax xP

i prefer supporting with money, not dead bodies of my friends and family

[unkempt widget]

i mean they haven't been involved in a war since napoleon was a thing, and their militias only activate when they get involved in a war

also switzerland doesn't milk the hell out of an injustice that happened to them

(ahem ireland ahem)

also you will be much more vulnerable in ireland if ww3 comes than in switzerland lol

[full fossil]

then why is it active >:[ why do people have to spend a year running around in forest

[unkempt widget]

it's not, the active one is only for volunteers

you can also choose civil service

[full fossil]

google says they have conscription law and every swiss who happen to be born with a dick has to do military :V

[full fossil]

ill choose different country thx xD

[unkempt widget]

you want neutral country that doesn't have conscription?

hmmm you could move to ethiopia

do they have conscription?

nope

although they're close to mobilization due to their civil war

[full fossil]

whats wrong with Ireland? XD it was neutral for ww1 and ww2, and never had conscription OwO
seems pretty safe

i can finally play minecraft in peace

thats all i want man

XD

[unkempt widget]

you do realize conscription for neutral countries is good right - it eliminates the risk of being invaded

[full fossil]

by who, we have atomic bombs 😭

[unkempt widget]

fuck
anyways
the nono german guy tried to invade ireland, but britain was able to protect it because they controlled the english channel

[full fossil]

oh ye lol, i tried to type that name before XD

[unkempt widget]

bruh

what did you think lol

they're not part of nato or any major treaty organization, so nobody will protect them

[full fossil]

i mean Europe in general OwO

[unkempt widget]

at least switzerland has mobilization in its pockets, and nono german guy was afraid of invading them

speaking of all of this, in what circumstance would ww3 happen

and in what circumstance would it not be over within 3 weeks

the second best military in the world has been demoted to second best military in ukraine

and china's military is literally a clown fest

[full fossil]

why? XD

[unkempt widget]

controlled by the corrupt party

the army serves the party lol

[full fossil]

idk how things work XD

is that normal?

[unkempt widget]

you know how in most countries, the army serves the nation?

[full fossil]

it was a typo :V

but lets assume that yes

[unkempt widget]

imagine if a party in a democratically elected country had a paramilitary wing

if you don't know the consequences of that
imagine if nvidia had a paramilitary wing

and just straight up raids amd and kills them all

that's the consequence of a military serving the party
it's like the ss

[full fossil]

lmao XD i see

[unkempt widget]

so the military would listen to what the party says, not what the state says

[full fossil]

doesn't the army have a bran? cant it see who to serve? OwO

[unkempt widget]

the problem with that is that the ccp is somewhat corrupt, and they're filled with people that are there who are loyal, not because they are competent

[unkempt widget]

wdym

[full fossil]

oh OwO

[full fossil]

i meant like every solder could just not do what the party says OwO

[small zephyr]

🤨 fuck signal rgb

only nvidia gpu's

[full fossil]

What to look out for on buying a used GPU? Seller is willing to run it and run benchmarks. Anything specific to look for

[unkempt widget]

if it's performing within expected range
if it's hitting its advertised clocks

why is signalrgb bad

[small zephyr]

i dont know but tf do they even have support for my cheap ass mouse but not ANY amd gpu

they even support 1060's but not a single amd one

[unkempt widget]

you know venn diagrams?

[full fossil]

Okay thank you I do know to check for general cleanliness of the card as well make sure it hasn't been collecting dust forever. If I do pick it up I was planning on getting some more thermal paste and ordering some thermal pads and repasting and repading the card

[small zephyr]

now i need install fucking amoury crate just to controll the fucking rgb on my 6650xt

[unkempt widget]

if there's a venn diagram of people who decide what gpus are compatible with signalrgb, and the people who administrate userbenchmark, it would be a perfect circle

[small zephyr]

🤨 i swear i hope microsoft will make an software that detects all rgb stuff instead of having 7 resourse hogging rgb softwares in the background

[neat gull]

windwos 11 will be adding that

[small zephyr]

worst ofender in useless resource hogging is icue tho

🤔 i saw icue sometimes use over 1gig of ram

[neat gull]

Yeah fuck corsair and their stupid non standard rgb connector

[small zephyr]

just to controll the lightning of my mouse

[neat gull]

yeah u need one of their controllers to control rgb

[small zephyr]

yes without their 90bucks comander pro's everything from em is basicly useless

[unkempt widget]

there's also glorious

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i now use an speedlink orios cuz i dont wanna deal with that stupid launchers for logitech,razer or corsair for example

[clear creek]

ik

[small zephyr]

speedlink makes the controll software for single devices so its neither taking gigs of ram and storage

i think armoury crate is supposed to suck hard as well

[unkempt widget]

it blackscreens whenever i click into my keyboard settings for me

[small zephyr]

and dont say asus i cant controll my fucking rgb of my gpu?

[golden talon]

rare microsoft W

[neat gull]

asap and stability dont go together

[small zephyr]

holy fuck armoury crate is nasty on uninstall

[golden talon]

can’t tell you how many times Asus armory crate stopped working after i installed icue

[small zephyr]

my screen is constantly flashing cuz it opens many many comand prompts

[mint yacht]

Armory crate is basically malware

What other programs make you install something else to uninstall it?

[neat gull]

Norton im pretty sure wont completely uninstall without downloading a 3rd party app

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i just want to change the fucking rainbow puke direction but im being tortured

🤔 lets see and trz

[neat gull]

open rgb would be better if it was more user friendly

its a pain in the ass to navigate

[small zephyr]

its so triggering that my gpu flows in the opposite direction of the rest of my stuff lol

[neat gull]

integrated graphics 🗿

[small zephyr]

openrgb wont find mine as well

[manic torrent]

Signalrgb is more likely

[neat gull]

open rgb was the only app that could find my gpu

[small zephyr]

no these dicks only support nvidia gpus

there is not a single amd gpu on signalrgb

[manic torrent]

Ah see I get around that with hardware. All my RGB is supported because I made it supported.

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ open rgb is useless for me

[neat gull]

signal rgb costs money i thought

[manic torrent]

Because this bullshit is absolutely fucked.

[neat gull]

im never gonna pay money just to control my rgb

[small zephyr]

i dont find anyways be it armoury crate or something else to controll my gpu rgb....

i tried wont find it

[manic torrent]

I mean, I have over 1000 LEDs in a whole room setup and use it to do real time visualisations, but sure, "just to control RGB"

[neat gull]

some of us arent rgb freaks and dont have 1000

[vapid canyon]

What’s the point of that many anyways

[neat gull]

intentional headaches 🗿

[small zephyr]

is there an aura sync without fuckign armoury crat?

[manic torrent]

https://youtu.be/7Ey0ElrVMn8

[manic torrent]

[small zephyr]

finaly... i needed to install the standalone old af aura snyc to find my gpu

[neat gull]

ok then sorry, let me rephrase, turn them all white ans see how bright your OFFICE is

[small zephyr]

i swear amd gpus just dont get any love from the manufacturers and software creators

[manic torrent]

Very.

Although it's not all set up at the moment because I moved it around

[small zephyr]

🤔 but dang its extreme how even an 6650xt is a tripple slot gpu nowadays

[vapid canyon]

At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter aslong as it fits in your computer

[small zephyr]

🤔 sadly my strix 6650xt aint got rgb on the backplate

not that bad condering my aio tubes lay on the backplate tho

[vapid canyon]

It’s better it having an overkill cooler to be silent and not sound like a jet while being hot enough to cook something on

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ welp msi just did a bad job designing my mobo

both small pcie slots are covered basicly even with dual slot gpus

[vapid canyon]

Dual slot cards for the mid and higher end have been common for a while

The only single slot cards you’ll find is something like a gt 1030 or worse

[small zephyr]

🤔 or an quadro rtx 8000

[vapid canyon]

Those aren’t much better

[small zephyr]

an quadro 8000 is the pinacle of non gamer gpu tho

[vapid canyon]

No the upper end quadros are good but not for gaming

[small zephyr]

🤔 1080p raytracing should be usable with an 6650xt right?

[vapid canyon]

Probably

As long as you use uh

Whatever amds upscaling is called

[small zephyr]

fsr

[vapid canyon]

And don’t crank the settings too high

[small zephyr]

🤷‍♂️ i rather have mid settings and higher fps in the first place

[vapid canyon]

I would rather have the fps of my monitor and no higher with the best details with smooth performance

[small zephyr]

🤔 and if i upgrade my cpu i may be able to play minecraft with raytracing xD

🤷‍♂️ my display is only an 144hz 1080p display

[vapid canyon]

75hz 3440p 🫣

[small zephyr]

at least its an upgrade over my old 5500xt for sure

[neat gull]

does anyone know how good ankers wireless phone charging docks are?

[small zephyr]

im gonna miss my silver colorsheme of the cooling shroud and backplate tho

the rx5500xt nitro+ saphire looks gorgeous

saphires nitro cards all look nice with that silver/metal color

🤔 i bet rtx5000/6000 is gonna be as big as an series x considering the 4090 is around the size of a series s lol

i think ltt should start using xbox's for scale instead of bananas

Any particular steps you would recommend on this or just yolo and try

[trim robin]

yolo and try, if it fails just put the old gpu back in and install the drivers

[white siren]

I keep my older GPU's incase my current one goes good bye

[full fossil]

KK I am going to download the drivers to have them saved is there any big performance loss I have a 3.0 riser cable and the card is 4.0 compatible my motherboard is 4.0 should I just pull the vertical card for now until I update it with a 4.0 riser?

[plush rivet]

It will work fine, just not at 4.0 speeds

[full fossil]

Any performance loss or not enough to really care

Ok in liking this. Went from a OEM 1650 super to a rx 6600. Jumping the settings from low to medium and Hogwarts legacy is a completely different and much better looking experience went to a couple of areas that the old card would stutter on absolutely no problems. Now I am in the process of trying to figure out how to get games to reconfigure graphics settings automatically

[polar steeple]

6600 is a good ass card

[stoic beacon]

What would you call games that "never end?" Not necessarily rogue likes or rogue lites, but endless dungeon crawlers, MMOs, etc.

[dull granite]

It runs most AAA games at 1080 without getting below 1% 60fps

[stoic beacon]

Is there a specific game for that, or just "neverending games"?

[polar steeple]

Not in pure output but in value

Hi, I don't know what happened to me, but today I'm drinking a lot of water

I feel thirsty all the time, why?

it's first time in my life feeling like this

I did drink +2 litters already in 7 hours

and maybe +4 in the past 24 hours
