  • Brother, you can't say "Iran and Russia have a defense pact" and then laugh and pivot to China after I point out Russia is not going to be able to make good on that pact. You haven't earned the right to be arrogant if you never mentioned China in your first comment. I wasn't talking about China. But now that your mention China.....

    China is not currently interested in a proxy war to defend a middle eastern ally of convenience. They're gearing up to invade Taiwan. They will leave Iran to fend for itself, like how Russia let Syria collapse.

    In all likelihood, Iran is gonna be forced to just take the L and do a bit of posturing.

  • Russia is incapable of coming to the aid of Iran at the moment.

  • That is literally what the argument is caused by, adaptive perception to lighting conditions.

  • Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya

  • Others have discovered that Gamboa has carried his rifle at other "non-right" protests while dressed in a similar manner. They may be a case of the shooter being jumpy.

  • Me. Porn is fine. Teach your children how to handle it. Teach them that it's not realistic and some of it is straight-up dangerous. Put a filter on your internet if you're too scared to talk to your kids about uncomfortable topics.

  • Unironically, the provider of the chat bot should be liable for anything the chat bot says. Don't fire humans so youn can hide behind a neural network.

    But this ain't suicide encouragement.

  • Added sugar to peanut butter is an affront to the mighty peanut. Just grind that shit pure and smack it in your mouth like nature intended.

  • The way statistics work, 1000 people is more than adequate for a population the size of Israel. It's honestly overkill, if anything. The real question is "are the respondents a representative sample?" That is, is the way you chose who to question and how to question them introducing any systemic bias in your results? For this survey, if everyone lived in the West Bank, that would be a clear source of bias in the data. But if people are randomly selected by, say, phone number, then you would have to worry about more subtle biases before agreeing that the data is sound.

  • We gotta change to proportional representation if we want different results from our government.

  • The first check I got from my first job was for $0.00 because I hadn't worked enough to pay off my uniform. I still have it framed. I was also being paid a sub-minimum training-period wage. America's labor laws are fucked.

  • It's my understanding that ecologists generally agree we could eradicate human-biting mosquitos and it wouldn't cause any real problems. Yes, other species eat them, but they're not a critical species in any ecosystem, apparently.

    You know how there's those stories of scientists introducing a species into an ecosystem for one reason or another, and all sorts of unintended consequences happen? Ever notice how those stories are all from around the 1950s and earlier? It's because we actually got pretty good at thinking through all of the possible significant impacts. We only introduce/eradicate species now when we know doing so is a good idea and have worked through the consequences. But I want to be clear that I agree with your sentiment. You shouldn't intentionally change an ecosystem without serious planning and consideration for what will happen when you do.

  • Modern UX is all slip-on shoes. Not even Velcro.

  • Same reason software will make pointless UI changes. Keeping things fresh gives their users the "exciting" feeling of novelty without having to switch platforms.

  • Paint trick would leave the option for higher quality, a screen grab leaves you at screen grab resolution.

  • I once encountered a system that truncated your submitted password if you logged in through their app, but not through their website. So you would set your password through the website, verify that the login was working (through the website) and then have that same login fail through the app.

  • Oof

  • They're a very small minority.

  • I literally only use it when a how-to guide explains exactly what to do and why. Then I forget what I did and look up how to do it again six months later. I'm fine with this arrangement, though I will prefer to have to use it less.

  • No complaints so far! What did the reviews say? I'm using a 16 with the graphics module.
