Yeah I've always wanted to practice with sim rounds. The best I ever got was blanks.

It's definitely not a school course haha. It's a military/police training course that focuses on close quarters combat and escalation of force.

Simunitions are a type of round that has a small bead like an airsoft pellet instead of an actual bullet. The weapons are outfitted with a smaller barrel to accomodate.

The benefits to this is you can have the real weight of the weapon with real cycling of the slide or bolt as you fire. It's non-lethal and leaves bruises similar to paintballs.

I think they leave a mark from dust when they impact (hence the "paint" part)

Oh how cool would it be if it could sync regions of the world as the ISS flies over and you get a projected image of what it really looks like

“This update reinforces our culture that fosters discipline — and discipline equals readiness,” Michael R. Weimer, the sergeant major of the Army, said in the statement

Threatening to kick out 40,000 people doesn't equal readiness.

A 2021 study in the journal Military Medicine said that grooming techniques and topical medications could be effective in treating mild-to-moderate cases of pseudofolliculitis barbae, but more severe cases responded best to laser therapy. Long-term shaving exemptions “may be needed for treatment-resistant cases,” the study said.

I saw many cases first-hand that did not resolve with topical treatments and would have led to scarring unless a permanent waiver was granted. Laser treatment is a terrible compromise on this issue - would you permanently alter yourself to conform to the standards or would you say "Fuck that" and get out when your contract ends?

With how bad the military as a whole is hurting for people, I'm surprised they're threatening more bullshit like this.

haha no

I'm surprised Chernobyl isn't on here

Is this intended for non-steam installations? The workshop is already super easy to use

Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.

I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

I had some weird issues with my 3080 Ti on Fedora 41 and 42 and have recently switched to a 9070 XT.

Most games ran fine, but other programs acted strange while games were open. Space Engineers, Escape from Tarkov, and a couple other titles wouldn't allow me to use other programs. The cursor would stay the same as in-game, even when alt-tabbed, and the Discord UI would become unresponsive.

I had several strange issues with my monitor flickering that didn't resolve until I uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers.

I had a horrible issue with Minecraft and other OpenGL games that caused a strobing white screen while playing. I forgot how I resolved that one.

I had to reinstall drivers several times. I don't know how much of it was self-inflicted or just how it goes on Linux.

None of these issues have come up while on my 9070 XT.

Just stock Firefox with the most up to date uBlock Origin (your version) should be sufficient. YouTube has been experimenting lately with some work arounds lately, so maybe you're one of the few unlucky ones.

If you're not opposed to doing it yourself, you can sign up for a free trial to Tidal and rip it.

It could have been an estate sale and changed hands a couple times, considering how old these are

I built a Tasker program that blocks unknown numbers if toggled and allows back-to-back calls through. It uses a Minimalistic Text widget for control.

I also built one for background images. Every time I turn my screen off, my background changes to a new (blurry, gray) picture of my wife. Double tapping will unblur and color it. I can toggle switching if I like a particular picture.

Ah, didn't realize it was so demanding

• Pihole
• PiVPN
• Docker stack of arr programs (Sonarr, Radarr, etc)
• Lyrion Music Server host/client
• Home Assistant - nvm you need a pi 4 or better

Haha I came here to link this. One of my favorite videos.

I've never heard of xpipe until now - I just set it up and this is amazing

As far as my understanding:
Repositories are like lists of available programs. F-droid will update periodically, but will not catch a fresh update or new program until the repo is updated.

I scolded my squad leader at one point for not getting seen. He stopped during a hike to stretch his back because his legs were going numb. He still didn't go to medical lol.

Most of the people I know getting high amounts of disability are retiring after 20+ years and have many physical and mental issues. It's becoming more common due to accessibility of medical care, including mental health services.
