“Makes ok symbol”

Many rulers have made drug dealing punishable by death based on "slippery slope murder". If the logic of that was applied to everything, what's the most peculiar possible implication you can think of?

You could call this a sequel to my last question, but I was genuinely curious. Question inspired by someone I know joking about being arrested for selling donuts to someone who died as a result because they didn’t need junk food.

keepcarrot ,

Everyone dies since everyone is guilty of at least one crime. Fortunately there are no prison guards or cops, since they’re all awaiting trial in jail too.

I feel like I’ve taken the slippery slope in the other direction.

For odd outcomes, every birth results in a death down the line, so banning mums or something.

In the 40k Infantrymans Uplifting Primer, the penalty for attempted suicide was death by firing squad.

Why is seeding a torrent helpful?

I keep seeing in forums and sites like these that say it’s frowned upon to not seed torrents that you use/used. I saw a post on here or Reddit (I don’t remember) with a guy ecstatic that someone started seeding his download he had been trying to get done for months. I know seeding lets someone download something using your...

keepcarrot ,

I am keeping some torrents alive and have mad seed ratios on some of them. If it goes under five seeds and I’ve downloaded it.

To OP, the more seeds a torrent has, the easier it is for everyone to download it, and the less each seeder has to contribute. Think of it as a sort of giving back to the community.

Obviously, the latest episode of popular TV show doesn’t need your help, but obscure bits of media can actually die out. Or stuck at the same 40% for months.

Since the files are just kept on everyone’s computer, if no one has that file while online, no one can download it. No central file repository.

The Once-Dominant Tank Is Getting Humbled on the Battlefield (www.wsj.com)

Of the 31 Abrams tanks the U.S. sent to Ukraine, six have been destroyed, according to Oryx, an independent analyst group that tracks casualties. The rest are now used only occasionally. At $10 million apiece, tanks like the Abrams are not easily replaced. Among other Western tanks sent to Ukraine, 12 of the 18 latest-model...

Huh, I can only speak from my experience. I have a couple of thermometers in my room that give decimals, but my air con doesn’t give decimal options and the government meteorological service doesn’t either. I certainly don’t think I can tell the difference between 39 and 39.2.

I find it interesting that there are apparently true believers out there who think the Abram’s is an ontologically godlike tank and that it’s historical record is not the result of overmatched technology and overwhelming air superiority

Politicians were paid around the middle of the income scale in the Soviet Union.

Unless you’re talking about like the occasional free beer or taxi ride for competently administering your job, which I gotta tell you, however much you think Communist party members did it… Like, have you had a job and talked to your boss and their inter-business negotiations? Holy shit

keepcarrot ,

I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you think that a random party guy in Siberia can just say “Nope, the USSR cannot get any oil now” and nothing would be done and he’d be showered in women and coke? Or… Yeah, what the fuck are you talking about?

I'm new to using things like qbittorrent, and I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if the magnet link I used is missing required files.

I paid a one-time fee years ago for Adobe Premiere Pro, but when they moved to subscription-based service I lost access to my old edition of Premiere. It’s like pulling teeth, I get so close but I’m so far.

I think like… Rocks aren’t political, until communities of humans arrive and start talking about rocks and using language to describe rocks. A rock that humans have never interacted with isn’t political, until people start using it as an example of what is and isn’t political. Sort of like quantum but for concepts and relationships being perceived by communities of people.

Why did I write this?

Rocks are dialectical when they bash against one another, just as I bash my head against every other leftist.

Do you value high fidelity (audio, visual, or other)? Do you notice a difference?

It often surprises me to see people with time, money, and knowledge settling for subpar experiences that have night and day differences to me. Even at my brokest (pretty darn broke), speakers, headphones, and glasses were always worth researching and some saving up, and the difference between what I’d end up with and the...

Do you consider the concept of honor to be self-explanatory? Why?

When I say honor, what I mean is the idea of every individual being called to answer to everyone else. You know, the kind of thing you see from the Klingons. “You are thirty and unmarried, you bring dishonor to us” or “shame on your family for eternity because you were arrested for terrorism” or “what a disgrace you...

keepcarrot ,

I feel like you’re talking about multiple things that are only loosely related, some of which could be called honour. It’s varied enough that I wouldn’t call it self-explanatory.

Certainly, I could see someone defining honour as, at some point, the respect of military peers. This still exists with honourable or dishonourable discharge, but reaching back in time one could imagine an honourable knight treating his peasants poorly (and certainly less well than how he treats other knights), to say nothing of women specifically.

Likewise, Japanese culture is said to be an “honour culture” but it could be said to be a particular form of Japanese Machismo that has evolved from the Japanese martial classes (an elite) to the modern proletarian salaryman.

But in common modern usage, I see enough “honourable klingon” memes that use honour as a sort of earnestness and respect amongst everyone.

Not saying any of interpretations are correct (or wholly wrong), just that there’s enough of them that are plausible that saying any of them is self-explanatory is a bit of a reach.

What's your most profound "small world" moment?

This refers to when two or more people encounter each other in completely coincidental fashion.

You might notice two people who you know from completely...

I met my first primary school bully two decades later at the Estonian consulate, who coincidentally also has the name of a local politician.
