I expect they had some or mostly legitimate clients. Really hard to hide a drug distribution network in the open without legitimate traffic to hide in.

Purebred mutt. 100% good boy.

Care to elaborate on how? or what could have been done differently? For a free video on the internet, I’d say it’s pretty good.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 4 months ago

I mean, they DO site their sources. It’s in the description.

Satan has amassed an impressive list of biblical scholars ready to reveal the “standard stuff” taught in Christian seminaries: Bart Ehrman (UNC Chapel Hill), John J. Collins (Yale), Dale Allison (Princeton Seminary), Susan Niditch (Amherst), Ron Hendel (UC Berkeley), and Hector Avalos (Iowa State). This is established seminary curriculum about biblical history, biblical morals, authorship claims, and early Christianity — a curriculum never shared with the congregation.

They even show clips of those experts reading from well-cited books like Fighting Words: The Origins of Religious Violence or The Apocalyptic Imagination. You can go read those or others of multi-hundred page books shown if you want the definitive evidence, but in this case this wasn’t about “here’s the hard evidence”. Especially since people don’t change their minds if you present evidence like that.

It’s supposed to consolidate information and help people start the process to questioning some things that maybe were once set in stone. Not fully change change minds or be referenced as a resource.

FY2024YTD is from October 1, 2023 to now, so that doesn’t mean 7 days, it’s more like 3 months.

EDIT: Added YTD because I derped.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 5 months ago

My mess up. I didn’t add YTD. So for us right now, pretty much nothing.

But look at where you got the numbers from.

Total CBP Enforcement Actions

Numbers below reflect Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 - FY 2024.

Fiscal Year 2024 runs October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2024.

Probably not. But remember that ~4% of all death row inmates are innocent, so it may be that he didn’t kill anyone.

Also, shouldn’t the state be better than a murderer? Shouldn’t the mere fact that we believe we, as a society, are civilized mandate allowing a death row inmate respect before they die?

I’m not religious, so I don’t think praying and final words will do anything. But it won’t harm anyone, and if it makes him more comfortable as he goes out, especially in light of the likelihood he didn’t that to his victim, I’m not against it.

There have been some news pieces put out, but most importantly

… the Physicians Committee (PCRM) said records it obtained for the 23 monkeys used in the experiments reflect a “pattern of extreme suffering and staff negligence.” The committee said that the letter to the USDA is based on nearly 600 pages of what it calls “disturbing” documents released after the committee filed an initial public records lawsuit in 2021.

Now, CNN did link to Nueralink’s site, but not to PCRM. That, to me, says a lot about who you they’re supporting.

If you want to read PCRMs report, it’s here. Because reading the sources is always a good idea.

Not really. After working with CentOS (RIP) for a half decade, that Firefox version was so out of date I was practically in diapers when it came out. Getting the latest version of Firefox was such a pain that my org didn’t bother even if it would have given us some niceties.

LTS and other “enterprise” distros don’t push the latest version precisely because of dependencies.

Backup cameras, at least in the US, are a legally mandated feature. Cars cannot come without them.

If anyone ever tries to sell you a car based on ‘it has a backup camera!’, be very skeptical of what else they’re trying to upsell you on that’s legally required.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 10 months ago

I don’t think so. You can put your own money into running a political campaign.

However, the IMPLICATION that he uses campaign donations for his legal defense is there. And stupid MAGA donors will believe that’s how their money could be spent and that it’s OK.

Yes, the problem is production capacity, but it’s very difficult to get that capacity up and running. For example, Intel started building 2 factories in Ohio last year. They won’t be up and running until at least 2025.

This stuff is complicated and nobody predicted the rise of covid, crypto currencies, or AI, or if they did nobody was convinced enough to dedicate potential billions of dollars to building capacity to capitalize on it.

This makes sense, from both a manpower and long term stance.

First, Colorado is going to survive climate change much better than Alabama will. Not having to do PT at 2am because that’s the only time it’s cool enough is kinda nice.

Second, since Alabama keeps rejecting and making things illegal that the majority of Americans want (e.g. Abortion, porn), moving there doesn’t make sense for the military. When you have to ship people to other states for medical care, it’s better to just build in other states in the first place.

i mean, 5 to 10 megabyte (40-80 Mbps) is better definitely. 25 Mbps is absolutely terrible for my partner and I if they’re watching a show and I’m trying to game.

It’s all a way for the CCP to gain power over other countries. “Oh, you’re using OUR infrastructure, you need to do X thing that’s bad for you or we will turn it off/fuck you over with it”.

The CCP cannot be trusted.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 10 months ago

Why would they spell out that sort of requirement? You are assuming they are operating in the open, in good faith.

They have a history of doing this sort of thing.

I don’t think the IMF or anybody should be screwing over borrowers but at least it’s in the open where you and I, the concerned public, can do something.

You gotta link, brah?

Community can’t grow if you don’t tell people where to go.

For right now, I believe there is no way to move a user account so you will need to create a new one. Can be the same name, tho!

I believe there is a feature in the works to be able to move accounts between instances but I am unsure of where in the development pipeline it is.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 11 months ago

Yeah, Lemmy being in a very “alpha” state makes some of the things a user wants to do difficult.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 11 months ago

Not really - it only matters if the instance where you have your account (e.g. lemmy.world, in your case) is not federated with another instance (e.g., beehaw.org).

As long as your instances are federated, you’ll be able to see everything on the other instance and vice versa.

There are weird states, such as instance A being federated to instance B but B not being federated to A. This means that users on A can see, comment, and (potentially? I think?) create posts for communities on B but no other instance (B, C, or otherwise) can see those comments/posts.

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 11 months ago

Lol somebody else replied above with this, but I figured you should definitely see it too: An infographic explaining how Lemmy is like Reddit, but with different communities on different servers, users can use one account to access all of lemmy, and how Mastodon is similar because it uses the same underlying framework

OptimusPrimeDownfall , 11 months ago

I pay the $20 a year for full access to the other like 4 models, mostly because I want the programmer to be able to eat so they can keep putting the app out.

At what point do people start protesting?

Also, in what world is ‘modify’ not an equivalent word to ‘transform’? The literal DEFINITION is “verb. [‘ˈmɑːdəˌfaɪ’] cause to change; make different; cause a transformation.”

OptimusPrimeDownfall OP , 11 months ago

Its got a team doing active updates, too. Been playing for a couple of years now and its only gotten better.

OptimusPrimeDownfall OP , 11 months ago

Definitely scratches the itch my friends and Ihadd

OptimusPrimeDownfall OP , 11 months ago

They called it like “alpha+” or something. But yeah, I think I’ve only had a couple of bugs over the two+ years I’ve been playing. I’ve had more bugs in fully released AAA titles.

OptimusPrimeDownfall OP , 11 months ago

Yeah, i’ve only recently started watching some 8v8’s but there is so much to keep track of
