  • I don't think it is outside of the realm of possibility that in 30 years we learn that the Mossad knew about this and were ordered to let it happen. The intelligence fuckup was so enormous that it seems plausible they at least knew something was up. And the Israeli government has proven itself cynical enough to lend such a thought possible.

  • To be fair, it was the largest cavalry charge in history. Between 30 and 40000 horsemen charging is insane. To put that into a comprehendible context, the charge of the rohirim you see in the Return of the King had 5000 horses. The largest charge in the Napoleonic wars (iirc) was Murats desperation charge at the battle of Eylau with 11000 cavalry, which somewhat won the day and is considered one of the great cavalry charges in history.

    This charge was 3 to 4 times larger. It was truly a hurricane of vengeance.

  • At the risk of angering the Canadians on here, who are surprisingly touchy on the subject, I stand by my statement that Lance is out of his depth in F1. He's a decent enough race driver, but decent is not good enough in F1.

  • Jokes aside, it's all about confidence. If anything, fake it 'till you make it. I was terrible with girls for a long time until I stopped caring and just went for it. Then I was amazed how easy it was.

  • I can imagine they don't want accountants or IT people looking at porn while they work though. Their own websites are probably not filtered, but whether the work is for a porn site or a car manufacturer, you prefer them focussing on their work. For a content reviewer though, it's a different story.

    That being said, there is not enough money in the world that would convince me to become a content reviewer. The shit they have to sit through is often utterly vile and traumatizing. Here is an article about a facebook moderator as an example: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57088382

  • I seriously hope this doesn't go through because F1TV is brilliant and I don't want it to change (although I still wouldn't mind an Android tv client. I know there was one, but from my playstore location I can't install it, so not sure if there still is a client. Also, I tried sideloading some apps, but those never worked. I just cast it from my homeserver now, which is fine).

  • While true, with this 180 it seems he has abandoned trying to work with the freedom idiot caucus. Not sure what the implications of that would be for the impeachment inquiry, which has 0% chance of going anywhere anyway, but I think we could see more bipartisan measures if he really abandoned the madness of negotiating with the moron squad.

  • It's inconvenient, but not scummy. Every business tries to increase its bottom line and this is not high up at all in the scumminess scale. And a heat map can be created without actually monitoring people but just by looking at sales vs placement. It can be done in a completely unobtrusive and privacy respecting way.

    Just to be clear, I also get upset when my grocery store changes things up. It throws our shopping routine completely out of whack and causes more people in the store because everyone spends more time looking for their regular stuff.

  • Migrated from Digg to Reddit to Lemmy. And just like with Digg, I sometimes check in again to witness the wreckage. I think I spent a total of 10 minutes on Reddit since the api changes and at least 5 of those minutes were work related.

  • Hippos are crazy territorial, so my money would be on them. It's hard to imagine a rhino losing the battle, but the pure unfiltered rage of a hippopotamus when you trespass his territory will frighten even the boldest of rhinos.

  • I'm a sync user and pretty tired of these pointless statements. Don't want it, don't use it! I pay for ultra to support the dev and that's my choice. Again, if you don't want it, don't use it. But can you please stop this sync bashing? It's not as if the torrent of anti-sync memes forgot to cover what you are saying.
