@littlebluespark A gatlin sentry is a great addition to this toolkit! I'm a fan of the Gatlin Barrage and the Orbital Airburst myself! I am the sentry!
Can anyone link me to a study or a chart something to prove to some paper pushers in my life that the average life expectancy for autistic people is at a set age?
I'm 46 now and I believe I am past the average life expectancy, and some paper pushers asking me to 'prove' my need for assistance, from a doctor, renewed annually... which'll cast off several years of my life in stressful experiences to upkeep.
@nddev@actuallyautistic You might be correct, asessing my family's longevity might be more accurate from lack of data in general. But..
I have tried the family avenue many years in the past with other proof-on-paper services unsuccessfully. I was required to provide death certificates I did not have permissions to obtain. When I asked grandpa for a copy of the deaths of his wife and daughter, I was told he threw those away because it depressed him.
But in reality it’s just someone with the body of an adult and the mentally of a toddler screaming nonsense and punching themself in the face while simultaneously blaming everyone else for it and declaring victory.

i don't know that anybody reads on Inkitt, tech bros like this kind of thing because they want to sell to credulous investors not because they think they're going to get any readers
AFAICT, nobody reads serial fic in English anywhere except wanna-be writers, so while Inkitt sorta does seem like a pyramid scheme, the writers do know what the (lousy) deal is in advance & it's on them if they publish there anyway
“It is difficult to picture the rich, hard-nosed advisors of James I being overly concerned about the rights of vagabonds and felons. But this was a period that was especially suspicious of arbitrary acts by the Crown against individuals. There was no law enabling the crown to exile anyone, including the baser convict, into forced labour. According to legal scholars, the Magna Carta itself protected even them. The Privy Councillors therefore dressed up what was to befall the convicts and presented the decree authorising their transportation as an act of royal mercy. The convicts were to be reprieved from death in exchange for accepting transportation. (71)”

As always with theory, we have to look at the relationship between theory and practice: Most of the authors of texts on #emdiplomacy had at least some diplomatic experiences themselves.
Moreover, these texts played an important role in the education of #emdiplomats, although it is usually difficult to pin down their influence on a certain individual diplomat. However, before the general establishment of diplomatic academies these treatises provided a certain guidance and generally promoted the need for adaquate training. (5/6)
We could not have found a better expert to write this article, as Fedele is research fellow at the university of Lille and focusses in his work on premodern #diplomacy and international law. His seminal study “Naissance de la diplomatie moderne” is available open access.
From @LineageOS install instructions - success is normal, but errors are also fine:
> Normally, adb will report Total xfer: 1.00x, but in some cases, even if the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success. In some cases it will report adb: failed to read command: No error or adb: failed to read command: Undefined error: 0 which is also fine.
@tubaruco It's from these installation instructions, which say "it might error, but that's fine". Usually error messages mean it's not fine, so I found it fairly amusing.
