    US Election Day 2020

    I'm not saying that both parties breed the same kind of people - far from it, especially in recent years. However, I *do* believe that there is a big...sort of stigma associated to the concept of changing parties in the US, be it as a politcian or as an actual voter. And there is a *lot* more...

    US Election Day 2020

    Because of course they will be trying to legally fight the result if they lose. Not based on evidence or suspicions, but principle.

    US Election Day 2020

    As has been stated before in some thread: US politics in general has become such a competitive, Us-VS-Them, Team-VS-Team, Army-VS-Army sport/battle/competition/totalwar that it does not matter if your side is doing good things or not. It does not matter that Trump is incompetent or a liar or...

    US Election Day 2020

    Twitter? Try a speech. From a section in https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/election-results-and-news-11-03-20/index.html Just let that go through your head. He declared himself victor and wants further voting to stop. It's so absurd, it's just beyond all my evens.

    2020 U.S. Presidential elections

    The very fact that, at least so far, almost half of all voters - after these years of stupidity, misbehaviors, fanning of racial hate flames, lies, embarrassing utterances, neglect for science and the environment, mishandling of the pandemic, narcissistic egoism and international aggravations -...

    Presidential Debate

    I couldn't sit all the way through it. This had to be one of the most undisciplined, childish political 'debates' I've seen - mostly on the account of Trump, who is behaving exactly like a small child trying to win an argument against its parents by constantly interrupting and pointing out But...

    WTF Climate Change News

    Yeah, but...the scary thing is: Nowadays it would take us about 160 days to make up for that net loss he caused. If a catastrophe killed 1 million people instantly, you could start a 96 hour timer and go "Alright, we made up for it" once it reaches zero. Including the usual average deaths in...

    Region Crossings Revisited

    Acaaaaatually..... It's along those lines how live migrations of the running RAM of entire Virtual Machines gets copied between cluster nodes in, say, Hyper-V and VMWare. You know, where you have an *entire OS and application* running while it all gets migrated between two physical host machines...

    Coronavirus Updates

    Counterquestion: If it could lead to saving thousands and thousands of lives in the future, *and* the participants are doing so voluntarily and with full knowledge of what they're getting into, then why. The. Fuck. Not? Also I think he shouldn't underestimate older people willing to take part in...

    Region Crossings Revisited

    That kind of suprises me, really, as attachments are also purely sim-side. Mostly noticable from the fact that if you make any changes to them and the sim crashes, it's all gone unless you logged out or detached them. And most vehicles these days have way less scripts and geometry than the...

    Math problem

    Deeepends. Do the percentages get applied one after another, or do they get added up first and then applied? i.e. do you lose 10 percent, then lose 5 percent of the remainder, then lose 5 percent of that? Or do you lose 20? (10 + 5 + 5) In the latter case, the formula becomes 1 / (1 - 0.2) =...

    netflix Umbrella Academy season 2

    On a sidenote, I love how they set up the 'Title Image' for each episode differently, but always with an umbrella and the text in it. I love creative stuff like that. But yeah, binge'd the first Season when it came out, binged the second one hard. It's one of my fave series.

    New PC: Beyond frustrated

    Actually have you tried plugging in your monitor into the motherboard's GPU port instead of your dedicated card's to see if an image comes up? If yes, try re-seating your GPU card. Also, before that, see if you need to enable the GPU PCIe slot in the bios settings. (You normally don't though.)

    WTF Mask rage

    They do both here, of course. To identify the vehicle, and to actually prove the cases of somebody else driving it. As I said, I personally think the rules here need a simple updating that, if the driver cannot be verified NOT to be the owner of the vehicle (like when wearing a mask) it just...

    WTF Mask rage

    Well, essentially it's illegal to wear a mask as a driver, because of speeding radar stations. Since those snap pictures, and the driver of the vehicle has to be validated...yeah. They need to update that rule for Corona times.
