It is amazing how the Syria Test has never once steered me wrong, with regards to identifying idiots who have allowed Russian propaganda to melt their brains
One thing I have to point out because a lot of people don't realize it is "the Syria test" was never a tankie/campist ID test, it was an "are you gargling Russian propaganda?" test, it just picks up tankies and campists because of course it does
The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

this is really a Schrodinger's Woke attitude, where a fictional environment or context is important enough to argue over, but when one is put in a position they can't argue their way out of, they resort back to "WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT KIDDIE SHIT" or "REALITY CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT IT TO BE"

these had preroll ads you had to fast forward through
It used to be true that in the 90s you could buy a thing called a VHS tape with no ads and watch it to your heart’s content, ad-free. It’s also true we have 4K Blu-rays now that provide better picture quality. VHS was of course analog but 480p scans had ~300k pixels per image. 4K? 8 million pixels!
No commercials on (checks notes) 90s TV

130k was "living in a small apartment driving shitboxes and saving enough to maybe afford a small house within a couple years" money, and that was in a city nobody describes as desirable or expensive - Phoenix, AZ.

4-FINAL/ As I’ve said before the problem for Gen Z is housing costs but also housing location. Affordable housing for Gen Z is increasingly exurban and rural (aka not desirable). But outside the most expensive metros you don’t need $140k to be middle class.

actually unironically yes, i am in favor of steam power. give me a nuclear plant plastered with solar panels and you'll get basically my preferred power policy
Somtimes I think ppl are just basically incapable of nuance.
Are you in favor of steam power?
I'm against children in mines, railroad bubbles, violent strike breakers, environ harms
I'm for better transport, easing human labor, raising productivity
smart policy is necessary and hard

EV: A primer
Exposure Value (EV) is the fundamental unit of measure that photographic ‘stops’ are in. While it gets a bad rap because of locked exposure systems on vintage cameras, it’s actually useful to understand when working with any camera as it demystifies exposure choices.

Been wanting to find a group to discuss Eurorack modules and what would be cool to create for the scene but... just haven't found one and asking here is too often like shouting into the chasm. Though there have been good ideas for modifications put forth!

just a reminder that the current best explanation for why this was necessarily or desirable is that the President wanted to see some video of it
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

and people for whom things would have been far worse if they hadn't been wearing gear
If you're a motorcyclist you know someone who's life has changed for the worst after an accident.
there's a similar thing in motorcycles, wearing any helmet is 37% effective in preventing fatal injuries. wearing a good helmet is more effective but there's less data.

Hrm. I don't *think* a study on this has been done. I do know that the most common cause of death among cowboys in the "Wild West" era was head injuries after falling from a horse. I throw that at modern cowboys who refuse to wear helmets.

i feel like people don't appreciate how powerful Large Herbivore is, or how good modern gear is
Currently, horse riding is about 3.5x more dangerous than riding a motorcycle. My gut level feeling (without any evidence to back it up) is that widespread use of horses would actually increase this since there would be significantly more horse/bystander accidents.
