US must be ready for simultaneous wars with China, Russia: Commission
  • America is more than ready, considering how much we spend on the military. This article is a few years old, and definitely sensationalist, but is still an interesting read-

    And on top of that, the US Army just started deploying robotic troop carriers, and is finishing up remote combat vehicles for the front lines so that first contact isn't with soldiers. Yes, we're going to have killer robots on the front line. And soon.

  • How do you clean your glasses?
  • I found these cloths years ago, and they clean extremely well and go a long time before needing to wash them. Then I'll just throw them in the laundry with my clothes, take them out and air dry instead of throwing in the dryer.

    If I my glasses end up getting particularly dirty, like grease spots from cooking, I do the dawn dish soap method and dry them with one of those cloths.

  • Elon Musk?! What are you up to!
  • Oh stop pulling an OP. Unnaturally high levels of CO2 can be dangerous after long term exposure - hours in an industrial environment that already has a bunch of other crap in the air. Carbon Monoxide from your home furnace at high levels knocks you out and kills you in 30 minutes. Still not the same.

  • But first they would need to invent some tape
  • The animated films had a segment of when Sam had the ring and was going to rescue Frodo, and it tempted him that he could use its power to set the world right. I kind of wish Peter Jackson would've done something similar.

  • 'You're fine. You're vaccinated': Anti-vax Fox News host goes dead silent after co-host calls her out for vaccine status
  • Because it exposes that someone who is making a living capitalizing off of extremist views that spread mass harm to the populace is a hypocrite that made sure to protect herself while telling everyone else that protection is a hoax, or at the least untrustworthy and harmful. Calling these people on their bullshit is a good thing to do. It's not the same thing as "OMG did you hear Taylor Swift broke up with her 35th boyfriend?!", it actually has real world consequences.

  • "Taking over another sovereign nation was just a 'special military operation'! It wasn't a 'war' until they started resisting and defending their homes and got assistance from the West! I mean, we all see how that works, right?! They should've just laid down and taken the beating, it would've avoided this whole thing!

    ...also it would be great if people would stop making fun of our military, it's making recruitment hard. There's only so many people we can imprison and conscript through Wagner."

  • The Internet tells me it takes 30 to 60 minutes for edibles to take effect, but I don't feel the full effects until almost 2 hours later!
  • Yeah, that's normal. For me gummies do start having a bit of an effect around an hour, and really settle in around 90 minutes-2 hours. My state limits the THC content to 10mg apiece so I just pop two.

    You really want to find live hash rosin gummies, preferably solventless. Most gummies just extract the THC and you don't get as much of an effect. But the live hash rosin ones also extract the CBB and terpenes as well, which makes it more bioavailable to your body. The reason why different strains have different effects on people are the CBD and terpene content, so they're important. Hits harder and a little bit earlier.

    I did see a dispensary nearby selling some gummies that claimed they found a new way of extracting everything, so they're supposed to hit much faster at like 15-20 minutes. But they were $70 for just a few gummies, so I declined.

  • Nintendo Switch emulators Yuzu and Ryujinx can already run Red Dead Redemption on PC
  • It's not that hard, but definitely can be daunting if you're not too into computers. Really the little RCM jig is just a plastic piece that slides into your right joycon rail and jumps two pins together that basically put it into developer/diagnostic mode. Then you need either a PC, android, or one of the portable payload injectors to get it into the hacked system. From there you can set it up so that it runs a virtual hacked operating system off of an SD card, and you can still boot into the stock firmware without altering your console at all.

    It's relatively easy if you follow instructions and have an early switch. The later model ones do require you physically solder on a modchip, which I wouldn't have bothered with if I hadn't bought one of the early switches.

  • Arbys food is good
  • Their Turkey Ranch and Bacon sandwich with a bit of Arby's sauce is S-tier fast food. And their curly fries, while not the best fries around, definitely beat McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. Plus their horsey sauce is a nice take on Horseradish if you're not in the mood for a lot of spiciness. So yeah, Arby's is pretty solid.

  • Religion is a trilogy
  • That's how I understand it, as well. Muslims hold Jesus in high regard as a holy prophet, and even have more stories about miracles he performed that aren't in the New Testament. But he's not considered the Messiah.

  • Is America Really That Bad?
  • While I do think we need to enact much stricter gun control, people touting this website about "mass shootings" always gives the outside world the idea that all of them on that list are like the Vegas concert shooting, which people think of when they hear the term "mass shooting."

    From their methodology page on how they characterize a mass shooting-

    In that, the criteria are simple…if four or more people are shot or killed in a single incident, not including the shooter, that incident is categorized as a mass shooting based purely on that numerical threshold.

    If you click through the incidents and read the reports, almost all are isolated incidents. Gang violence, mentally ill people murdering their family and committing suicide, other terrible things like that. Which is tragic and very much strengthens the argument about needing stricter gun control. But people keep linking that page, people go there and see a wall of reports, and assume all of them are crazed gunmen firing indiscriminately into a crowd at a shopping mall or the like. It's not like that at all, but curating the data with their methodology and saying the details don't matter and all mass shootings are the same as long as 4 people are injured just paints a disengenuous picture to people who don't live here. I've seen plenty of people that post they refuse to visit the US because they think they'll be randomly shot for no reason while walking down the street, which isn't at all a normal occurance. Sadly I'm more afraid that if a cop wants to stop and talk to me that I'll get shot much more than I am going to a festival.
