  • The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

    This was said by the National Security Advisor of the USA, the only country in the world that used nuclear weapons … on civilian cities … twice … for no militarily objective reason.

    Watching that shit unfold really got me into politics. Being disillusioned with Obama’s 8 years got me into real political economic theory though.




  • This seems more like just a reality of LCD / LED display tech than anything. CRTs (remember those?) can do a lot of resolutions pretty well no problem, but new stuff not so much. I remember using a lower rez on early LCDs as a ‘free AA’ effect before AA got better/cheaper. This just seems like a response to folks getting ~4k or similar high rez displays and gfx card performance unable to keep up.

    I was just playing around with gamescope that allows for this kind of scaling stuff (linux with AMD gfx). Seems kinda cool, but not exactly a killer feature type thing. It’s very similar to the reprojection algos used for VR.

    mostly just folks very resistant to learn some quite simple things due to their overly propagandized worldview

    I’m talking about people that have trouble with basic understandings of political economy like:

    leftism : anti-capitalist :: liberal : anti-communist

    I can only imagine the shock they are experiencing

    we’re mostly pretty chill if people can be chill with each other, unfortunately some folks are just uncomfortable with understanding the complexity of the world I guess


  • I mostly use index trigger shifters, but I’m open to trying non-indexed friction shifters. Supposedly less maintenance due to cable stretch with them. I guess those are both considered manual though.

    Oh you mean on automobiles?

    I learned to drive stick in a very hilly and traffic congested city. It was pretty intense. Haven’t driven a stick vehicle in a while though.
