Archaeology in good at giving us clues about the living thing. References to people existing is almost purely based on text people wrote. The proof would be someone writing down “Chrestos, popular among the poor was crucified for his crimes for spreading heresy” as a contemporary. But since the earliest reference we have is a century after his death it’s not necessarily accurate or true.

I remember that one miracle closely resembles CPR. He put his hands on a body and brought it back to life.

Sorry, meant to reply to a Zionist comment justifying the Genocide. My sincere apologies.

To actually answer the question:

The war with Hezbollah is in my opinion likely. It has popular support among the Israelis and Netenyahu has been doing whatever to stave off an election. It’ll still be an enormously costly war which will fill people with regret a couple of months after starting it.

There’s another angle where he’ll say “If you vote for me I’ll get rid of Hezbollah once and for all like I did with Hamas” and then delay until he can say “Circumstances have changed” which I think is a better move.

PLEASE ASSUME EVERYTHING BELOW THIS LINE IS OUT OF CONTEXT AND MEANT AS A RESPONSE TO A GENOCIDAL ZIONIST BECAUSE I’M AN IDIOT

What kind of bubble do you live in? If you take 2 million people, close their airspace, ports and land borders they’re not going to be happy.

On top of that Israel does the following:

  • imprison kids for throwing rocks at soldiers wearing armor
  • take people’s houses, most recently in Sheikh Jarrah
  • Ban farmers from using water, promise water from other sources and don’t deliver.
  • Close West Bank Airport
  • Settle lands in he West Bank.
  • Make Palestinians go to Military court with 99% conviction rate instead of a civil court.
  • Administrative detetention without giving any reason. (Because classified)
  • Withold evidence from courts that’s used to convict them. (Because classified)
  • Settlements are both within the 1948 borders and even within the Olso accord Green line.
  • Beat people up and throw tear gas that go play at Al-Aqsa mosque.
  • Don’t convict any settlers of violence.
  • Fondle women at check points when they open the trunk of their cars.
  • Limit imports to single item per pallet.
  • Limit work visas.
  • Limit family reunification as a way to immigrate across the border.
  • Random checkpoints that destroy tourism such as in Jericho.
  • Open policy of disproportial response to every reaction the Palestinians have.
  • Raid refugee camps and destroy their roads like in Jenin.
  • Kill journalists that cover the story such as Shireen Abu Akleh
  • Don’t even convict the murdered because he was a soldier.
  • Oh and kill/wound 5% of Gaza, half of which are children, for good measure.

When people are suffocating because someone has their foot on their throat they react. Nobody should be surprised that Oct 7 happened. Especially after Israel was warned many times that they would do something if they continue raiding one of the holiest sites in Islam.

Shower thoughts are wasting water.

My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet. I also shut the water down when I am wet enough so I can scrub myself without having unneeded water flowing then start it back...

olafurp ,

To absolutely minimise the water usage you could do a more old school “shower” by just putting some water in a bucket with a sponge.

  1. Put some water on your body with a quick sponge rinse.
  2. Apply soap.
  3. Use sponge to rinse off soap.

Then later use the bucket as toilet refill.

I’m going to provide a counter-example to disprove. A slot machine is a video game that is not a puzzle since there is no solution.

I agree with “Most video games are puzzle games” though. There are exceptions like Rail Shooter. Button mash only game. Bullet hell games don’t really have a puzzle element since solution is already shown by areas having no bullets in them.

I feel like this statement also hinges on “all video game strategy is a puzzle” people might disagree with.

olafurp ,

According to his interpretation of the genre it would be an action-strategy game which arguably fits tetris better. Your underlying point implies that all strategy games are puzzle games which this guy doesn’t agree with I think.

Beauracracy is one big puzzle of locks and keys where applications are keys and passports are keys to border control locks etc.

olafurp ,

The cookie clicker could still be a puzzle as long as you make it impossible to win without using some power-ups because you’ll die sooner of old age. That’s assuming there is a win condition in it. Other clickers are genuinely not puzzles since they’re infinite and not winnable. Not winnable makes them not solvable so they can’t be a puzzle.

I use steam and I can’t tell which is which usually.

I mean, if you’re really good at SQL these requests are doable in 10-30m + the time it takes to run and export.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Palestinians bring the their homeless numbers down. Helping people in need is a very cultural thing over here. See Jordan right next to Palestine.

Well, investing is technically always a gamble including buying assets like a house or gold. A better question would be “When does gambling become investing” and in my opinion that’s when the expected return is positive.

Expected return for most crypto is negative, some are positive but they’re always a gamble.

MIT team took an approach that has guaranteed success if played enough times by using math. It’s not gambling, just playing a game.

Stock markets are always a gamble and investment, but buying index fund stock is less of a gamble than selecting individual stock because it’s less risk.

Another question to ask is “when does a gamble stop being a gamble?” and that’s broadly when the potential downside is very unlikely. Think buying treasury bonds, housing after housing crash, stocks after stock crash etc.

People also have very different views on “What is very unlikely to go down” so depending on who you ask stock, crypto and real estate can all be both gamble and not depending on which person is looking at it.

What does the world think of India?

I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the...

olafurp ,
  • Massive potential
  • Nationalistic
  • Somewhat racist
  • Unfair caste system
  • Not enough bathrooms
  • Poverty and hunger
  • Extremely rich people
  • Excellent food
  • Food poisoning
  • Nice people
  • Misogynistic
  • Rich history
  • Modi vs INDIA election
  • Smart pivot to service sector
  • Tata steel
  • Lots of languages
  • Diverse nature

Going to be a superpower soon if they manage to create a robust middle class and get some nice institutions up and running. India is doing good but it’s hard to manage a country on that scale without being, like, China.

olafurp ,

Categorically wrong since Gaben lost weight.

With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....

olafurp ,

Yeah, if one height/weight class gets dominant that class should be nerfed like in every competitive esport

olafurp ,

Linux Mint is ready for mainstream.

Warhammer TW 3 “Native” mode sucks ass. Running Direct X on Proton is much better.

What part of the label didn’t make it obvious that it’s not for filthy casuals?

I like the bugs. The Giant Space Program was nice

olafurp ,

It’s a tricky balancing act. They need to recover the investment as early as possible to pay less in capital costs but doing that will mean that later on when the product is sub-par it will cause problems and extra work.

Since the engine, game logic, art, story, testing is so heavily coupled together changing the engine a little bit could cause a month of work down the line.

I think personally the best way is to start by making an engine or taking one off the shelf and then write a mini version of the game with shit art that has a lot of bugs.

At the same time making models with hitboxes that all have the same physical properties otherwise, dialog content and recordings and all other content that can be done separately.

Once that is fun to play then you can start working creating a slightly bigger system with a single short storyline to have a cohesive experience and will have the genaral feel of the game.

Once everything above is done setting up a closed beta is the way to go. Take some feedback, add features and redo the small story to be more fun.

Then once everything is a fun experience but people just want more you do the whole everything.

olafurp ,

Yes

And set the bar super low for other tech companies

Apple is from the walled garden of Eden.

I usually go on protondb and try whatever people tried until it works. Right now I’m playing on nvidia geforce 1050 ti with proprietary drivers on Bazzite and somehow it just works. For games that run badly natively on Steam I switch to Proton.

You might have a different experience than I do since I only play games that are at least 3 years old and never online competitive games.

Does anyone know what EU political group the 30% party belongs to? Fidesz is unaffiliated but I’m hoping that this 30% voted for S&D or at least Renew.

The result basically ends with Ukraine being top priority but climate is in the backseat. :/

olafurp ,

results.elections.europa.eu/en/hungary/Here are the results, you need to scroll down to see party-by-party details. They are members of the EPP (standard EU center-right conservative)

olafurp ,

I’ve been running Bazzite based on silverblue on my desktop for remote gaming and dockering. Everything was amazing until I started doing some mid-level docker stuff because of the rigidity of the distro.

Podman largely works but since it’s rootless it won’t have access to mounted drives easily due to SELinux.

Mounting a drive automatically wasn’t intuitive either and I ended up editing the /etc/fstab manually.

Setting up a swapfile was also tedious, I needed more than 8GB so I made a 32GB swapfile but I still had to run a sudo command on startup since I’m not really confident with creating a systemd service on an immutable distro.

All in all I should have just gone for Nobara or a regular Fedora but that’s because I have a really edge use-case.

That being said I still highly recommend it. It’s stable, easy to “rebase-hop” and everything just works well and it’s very stable. I’d recommend it for pretty much anyone unless you’re going to do some heavy self hosting with multiple HDs.

olafurp ,

Silverblue and Kionite are both Ublue distros, one has gnome and other KDE. One nice thing is that you can just swap between gnome and KDE without breaking anything via rebasing.

olafurp ,

It’s a command provided by the OS to distrotop between ublue distros. You can basically hop between silverblue, Kionite and Bazzite with a single command.

For a proper answer you’d have to look up the plastic type and check for conditions where it would degrade. Plastics vary a lot by type and conditions of storage and exposure to sunlight.

As an example you could probably keep a container of polypropylene (code 5) or HDPE (code 2) with salt for at least 5 years in a dry dark place without any concern. Salt can still scratch the outside of the container and cause minor plastic pollution if shaken every now and then for 5 years.

However, if you want to make the salt last for your whole life then a glass/ceramic/stainless steel containers are the way to go. The life of the salt would then be mostly limited by moisture in the air so if you manage to make a design of the lid to allow airflow around a package of silica or rice you’ll have your forever container.

You do the entire process with OBS studio. Is case of gaming there might be some limitations such as graphics or Internet.

Graphics would need hardware acceleration to not take CPU usage. But to avoid using up GPU I would recommend using the embedded graphics if you’re able to set it up so the game uses GPU and OBS the embedded GPU.

olafurp ,

Some civilians get killed unfortunately. When you already killed 2% of the population, half of which are children, it’s genocide.

olafurp ,

Yeah

olafurp ,

I know it’s 2014, but getting a used PC is a good way to get a “gaming” pc for $100. Although the quality jumps significantly with $300.

olafurp ,

I bought mine in a pricey country for around $350 and upgraded the RAM for a $100. Since I play mostly discounted games that are at least 5 years old it’s been great. Highly recommend giving the devs some time to finish the game after it’s released (looking at you Cyberpunk)

olafurp ,

I agree, they simply put all the blame on the West for the world’s problems no matter what it is and to be fair I often agree with those statements.

It’s just purely idiotic to support another country going the same thing and denying facts such as Russia invaded Ukraine.

I’m a socialist, somewhat left of a standard social democrat in the EU, but fuck, these guys are giving the whole ideology a bad name. There are still some recent movements that are good such as solarpunk, degrowth, minimalism, third spaces and tool libraries. I hope the Gen Z and Alpha get in on those so they can vote out our generation of rampant consumerism and privatisation.

It’s called the milky way because of Heracles since he bit his mom’s tit so hard the milk sprayed all over the sky.

FF is doing great. All the have to do now is the Steam strategy. Do nothing and wait for the competition to fuck themselves over.

olafurp ,

Yeah, it’s been a huge waste of resources trying to reinvent everything.

How easy is it to switch back to windows?

I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.

olafurp ,

You can always reinstall Windows and the license is registered to the motherboard so it’ll be fine.

You could alternatively buy a hard drive and keep your entire windows system for later just in case. :)

That’s like 50% ads on your screen

The AfD’s obsession with the Third Reich is driving a realignment of Europe’s far right | Mariam Lau (www.theguardian.com)

Massive change is afoot within Europe’s far right. Just as voters across 27 countries prepare to go to the polls in EU elections, a split over the German far right’s allegiance to the Third Reich is driving a realignment....

olafurp ,

Yeah, they weren’t all criminals because genocide was legal in the third reich.

Those are nice. Services that manage data are an example. Having the class also declare how to interact with the data is nice.

My most OOP pattern I like using is implementing an interface with an abstract class for “standard” implementation. Then implement abstract methods for a concrete thing.
