Was genuinely thinking of them here. Hail To The Thief released in 2003, and it kinda sounded like they were winding down. Imagine blinking and then having In Rainbows, The King Of Limbs, and A Moon Shaped Pool dropped on you all at once.

I'll also say Foo Fighters. Based on the 2004 criteria, we would only know about what's below the red line here and then suddenly have a ton of other, evolved stuff.

Why even bother with the premise of whether it's a valid military target or not? Russian attacks don't discriminate based on that. Equal retaliation would mean that Ukraine could invade Russian territory and attack civilians in Russian cities, but they don't because Ukraine is a nation of decent folk.

That's not true at all. Watch the video I linked. You can control CPU fan, GPU fan, and any case fan from this one elegant piece of software. And you can establish fan curves based on thermostats. So for example, with high CPU load and low GPU load, normally your CPU would hotbox your whole system; with this you can tell your GPU fan to ramp up based on CPU temps to get ahead of heat soak and start ventilating more before the GPU ever sees that heat.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but Fan Control looks incredibly promising. I keep going back and forth about whether it makes sense to build a desktop, so I'm just gathering lots of info for whenever I finally pull the trigger lol.

Did you expect better from SatansMaggotyCumFart?

Think of the children's rape babies!

fubo is a buttjones. Dispatch and neutralize.

I know that it's not what you're asking for, but I thought I'd chime in with a lateral solution. My wife and I live in an apartment building and neighbors can be pretty loud, plus I have rotating shift schedule so my sleep schedule slides drastically to support that. If the noisy environment is mostly outside, thick blackout curtains will also dampen a lot of sound. Otherwise, a fan will do a lot in terms of soothing white noise that also kinda masks other sounds. And finally, for the actual reason I started leaving this comment, there are pretty solid Bluetooth sleep masks that are designed to be comfortable and have battery that can last all night. My wife has one and it has really helped her out. You can also remove the electronics to wash the mask as needed.

Again, I know that this isn't what you were explicitly asking for, but it could solve your root concern all the same. Good luck!

That's not even close to what I said. I was saying that we don't dare stand up to anybody who has nuclear weapons, meaning Israel and Russia. We don't even dare give (conventional) weapons to Ukraine to take back what Russia stole from them solely because Russia has nukes. We will bully any other country as much as we want because they don't have nukes though.

Or what? Israel ain't stopping just because somebody said so. Slap them with real consequences.

You're right and I hate it. Bullies will fuck with smaller kids all school year, but not the kid who has a gun at home. My country is just a nepo baby rich kid bully on the world stage.

We're cool with Israel using our weaponry to do a genocide but we're on the fence about whether Ukraine can use our weaponry to take back the land that Russia invaded and stole?

We really fucked up when we decided to form societies larger than tribes, huh? We could've basically just had community gardens and leisure, and instead we chose this. If I were an alien, I would consider Earth a flyover shithole not worth visiting.

Wait, you think that racism is new? Where were you during pretty much every history class ever?

As seen on TV, until used on the press.

9 out of 10 fascists choose Lockheed Martin to cleanse their regions of targeted scapegoats and the media.

Inb4 "Biden is paying college students to organize antisemitic protests at campuses!"

It's a shit take, but we have to assume that they'll at least attempt that one on Fox News or similar. They might even somehow find a way to include Soros in the chyron.

And there's just so much lore to keep up with. Can't watch the new DEI until you've gotten through all the episodes of CRT. I think they need to slow it down before people get too much outrage fatigue before the big blockbuster drops later this year.

All fair points that I didn't want to hear lol. At the same time, it's been proven that a man of color can win the presidency and that a woman of color can win the vice presidency in this country, so I'm hesitant to jump right into thinking that only a white, Christian, hetero, cis man can beat trump. It might even get more excitement out of people to come vote for something that isn't yet another old white guy, which is the only real reason I was hesitant to mention Newsom.

Idk, it's all speculation on a hypothetical situation, so it's impossible to say how well anybody would've done in this scenario. Just interesting to hear others' thoughts and see a more thoughtful take than usual. Cheers :)

there's really nobody I could see on the Democrat side of the aisle who's both ready and able to take down Trump this year

I think it's probably too late to even bother speculating, but I think that there are a few who could've been better picks if Biden had chosen to not run for reelection and we got a full primary. Adam Schiff has proven to be organized and effective. Katie Porter might need more experience, but the way CA districts got adjusted it might've been a good time for her to shoot her shot. Hakeem Jeffries has proven his ability to unite the party. Gavin Newsom ain't perfect, but I wouldn't be surprised by a Presidential run in 28 or 32; he could've been a solid pick for this year too. I know he's had an unsuccessful attempt already, but Pete Buttigieg is charismatic af, speaks laps around everybody, and now has more experience than in his run years ago; he's much more ready now.

I'm certainly missing other rising stars, and each of these people has their own baggage as everybody does, but I'm confident that these all would've been good nominees right now. I didn't bother renaming Raskin, but I think he would've done fine this year too. Crockett is great, but I think she might need a little more time before she can realistically hope for a successful Presidential run. I'd love to see her do more in committees, go to the Senate, or even get a cabinet position before she tries for that level. I like her passion and no nonsense approach, but I want to see her capability for calm unity over clapback, and I think that will come from further experience.

Idk, I'm kinda excited for up and coming younger Democrats; I'm also terrified of the dogshit up and coming younger Republicans who are basically just professional twitter trolls.

Damn immigrant children, taking all our children-jobs. /s

It's never a bad time to say ACAB. Occasionally, one does something decent, but even a serial killer might occasionally hold the door open for somebody at the post office or whatever.

Every time I see a positive police story, I suspect copaganda. They are class traitors, restricting our liberties in order to protect capital, and it's by design.
