Reminder that Jacobin immediately started defending Russia when they launched their full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The fact that we're still doing it is frankly a big clock-up.

ARMA realizations

McD triple cheese meal with large fries and drink, $12.32, includes tax.

Hesburger (national chain) double cheese meal with large fries and drink, $12.67, includes tax.

And America is literally the land of subsidized beef and dairy. I am rather confused how yours is so expensive.

Had to look, damn they really put takeout food in the general category huh. Even here in Finland where we now have the highest rate in Europe of 25.5%, fast food is in the 14% reduced category.

"Why would I want to go with you if you aren't looking for a relationship"

... Brother, get some fucking friends in your life before you start worrying about other forms of relationships.

That's an entirely different thing from a vaccine that uses mRNA to cause an antigen response towards one very specific family of proteins. The mRNA cancer treatment involves taking a sample of the cancer and developing a payload specifically for it.

Got a feeling the survival rate comes down to people who got vaccinated caring about not dying and not being an asshole, rather than the vaccine itself.

Bit like saying people who don't drive recklessly are less likely to die in car crashes.

Fully recommending installing Wotsit and setting up a hotkey combo for it, and just using that for stuff like this.

Bonus points for making teleporting not suck since you can just type in where you want to go and hit enter.

Could, but it's a rather small difference. If the app doesn't have fine grain tooling for this, it's time to export to a computer and either grab Handbrake (available on Windows and Mac both) to squeeze it down, or download the free edition of Davinci Resolve.

Not exactly the most crisp video, but I did render it at 60 FPS. 30 or even 24 would be sufficient for most things.

Here's what I did in Davinci Resolve for the export, but things will depend on what you're using.

Took random video game footage, cut it to 2:17, and crunched it to 5.5Mbps AV1, works fine.

Should work. The one annoying thing is that Bluesky actually literally uses 100 megabytes as the limit, instead of 100 mebibytes like sane people. So the video needs to be less than 95.3MiB in size. You'd have to drop the video down to 5.5Mbps to hit that.

I sure hope the 5-year plan includes something more than making a lot of popcorn and watching it happen

but I do expect that to be a large part of it

If it feels any better, looking it up, .gay is owned by GoDaddy who seem to have previously donated to the Republicans, and have spent $6.6mil in total on lobbying

Worth noting that Docker in an LXC container can break backups, so you do indeed want to just run Docker straight up in a container.

Thankfully containers aren't VMs, and VMs are pretty light too, so it's not that heavy on resources.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.
