Israeli army strapped wounded Palestinian to jeep
  • I am not going to say which war this was but I have heard veterans tell stories of strapping the enemy soldier to their vehicle and driving slowly across a suspected mined area, usually the poor soul will quickly identify all the hidden explosive zones. Not saying this is what's happening, just reminded me of the story. Fucking wars

  • Trump denies mocking soldiers, says only "a psycho" would have called them "losers" and "suckers"
  • Wow thanks for elaborating further, now I know how I was the problem, you gave such a compelling argument and left no doubt in my mind I was the problem, and why other people like myself are sick trash and should get, as you stated, fucked. I apologise and clearly I should rethink my entire way of thinking and how I engage, by not following other people's opinions and trying to have a discussion was my error. So sorry.

  • At 11,000 feet up, scientists find Earth broke a scary record
  • The thing is, have you ever been to a coal mine. I am in the mining industry and have done multiple visits to coal mines, the magnitude of carbon they dig up, through underground or the cheaper dragline is jaw dropping if you realise that is going into the atmosphere. Like we have an exclusive club called a millionaires club for supervisors who in their section of the coal mine can extract more than a million tonnes in a year, they are greatly rewarded. This is excluding oil or petroleum products.

    To counter this you need to put the same or more carbon back into the ground, what technology do we have that can do it economically or even scalable, carbon capture is a gimmick in my opinion to give stupid people hope that there is an easy answer that is just around the corner. Maybe I have lost hope but my belief is that the carbon put into the atmosphere will not be extracted by humans, but will after 100s of years be absorbed into the ocean only if we stop our current emissions. Should we in the mean time lose our ice poles, glaciers and ocean currents, have heat destroy the fauna and flora while we do nothing. We have engineered this hot climate, can engineer it to be colder while we get our shit together.

    My country is the only developing country to be on target of meeting our Paris climate accord targets, how thanks to government corruption that led to the unavailability of our power stations where we have for years have rolling blackouts, or loadshedding as we call it. Fucks up our economy not having enough electricity, but great for the environment. I know there are green solutions to help alleviate our problems but our government has vested coal interests. So the best we can do is put solar power systems in our own homes

  • At 11,000 feet up, scientists find Earth broke a scary record
  • Why I feel Stratospheric Aerosol Injection will be the route to go, yes stop pollution now is better long term, but no one wants to pay the price if there is a chance someone else will. So we might as well put on a bandage to the festering wound and continue using our carbon based energy like a still addicted junkie.

    Up until a profitable solution starts making an appearance why would powerful selfish people make sacrifices

  • Tesla chair says Elon Musk needs $46 billion pay plan to stay motivated
  • Easy, tell him then the shares they want to give him cannot be sold immediately then, like 5 years of holding. But also include a section that says his current holdings must then also be tied to the new shares holding period, since he said he was first in and will be last out, should not be a problem and will be a great motivator.

  • Freedom!
  • Yeah it is a hard question, like can be argued that there are too many people for the society and they need to be purged. Yeah I do not have a good answer but I think my point is rather that freedom isn't freedom, just agreed confines in society that is ever evolving, that in my opinion should be based in reason, and it is society's duty to use the correct reasoning.

    Like you mention allowing human sacrifices in the name of reproduction. The question is a bit loaded but reasoning can be used, what is human sacrifices? We do allow the death of certain individuals in certain societies, soldiers in war, criminals in execution, children that do not have access to resources like, shelter, food or medication. Can smoking and drinking be seen as a violation of life, since it slowly takes it away, what about unhealthy food or even drugs, does any vices like gambling or sex seen could be threatening to the quality of life. You see how life actually is valuable to a certain degree in society but then there is also a freedom to throw it away. There are reproductive rights, should everyone have a right to have children? What if this person is 7 years old? What if this person already had all their children taken away due to incest and molestation on multiple occasions. Can you abort whenever like at 8 months or 1 week or is it when two gametes form an embryo. What if it is a non-viable embryo, what if this embryo implanted itself in a place outside of a womb and abortion in this instance will save the mothers reproductive organs to have future successful pregnancies.

    There are very few things that are black and white in this life, very very few, so I believe there should be an ongoing discussion and that laws should follow reason and compassion for the vulnerable, that laws must constantly change, especially the laws, decrees, holy texts that invested people say should never change no matter the reason

  • Freedom!
  • You aren't free to do anything unless we live in the wild. Society is built on the premise that we work together and place restrictions on certain things where we can live in harmony. But it is an ever evolving set of rules, and just because the law says so does not make it just, slavery was a law, apartheid was a law, the purge in a fictional America is a law. So I believe we must constantly evolve our laws with reason, to allow as much freedom in society even at an individual level, where society can grow and lead to the most benefit for the majority of people

  • xkcd #2940: Modes of Transportation
  • Are hot air balloon not like super safe, last accident I think was a guy that made his own DIY hot air balloon but before that it has been relatively safe. I think America has only seen like less than 800 deaths total.

    If the comic put in zeppelins...

  • Russia Says It's Assembled a Lithography Machine, Will Make 350nm Chips Soon
  • You are right, I am between believing Russian propaganda and thinking Russia's resiliency, the knowledge is available and they have a key partner like China that I believe will share expertise in such archaic field, these are the same Russians that stripped washing machines for their chips so the ingenuity is there

  • Russia Says It's Assembled a Lithography Machine, Will Make 350nm Chips Soon
  • That's cute if you think that analogy is sufficient to make you feel better. Make no mistake I hope western weapons will turn the tide but war is messy and even if you have the most advance quality weapons, quantity unfortunately still does damage even how basic, if I have 1 million soldiers with swords and bows descend on a thousand highly advanced soldiers the battle will be intense. If the west continues to drip feed support, low level basic weaponry in abundance will counter the support. The toilet training level technology has put astronauts on the moon.

  • Russia Says It's Assembled a Lithography Machine, Will Make 350nm Chips Soon
  • Not to piss on the party, but ATmega328p chips that we use in Arduinos, if I am not incorrect, is based on 350nm process, or you just scale to that size and accept the inefficiencies. People have been doing amazing stuff with worse chips in the past. Yeah modern features in modern chips are amazing but if I was a soldier my slightly smart (Arduino standards) weapon is still a deadly weapon in my arsenal

  • Japan seeks international coordination to thwart online manga, anime piracy
  • Also from a third world, but I am relatively very well off, and you are also correct, it is very expensive. Trying to do the beserk deluxe edition and one copy is worth like the poverty line income for one person. But still I pirated Berserk but I wish to support a now deceased author, rip Miura.

    CR only recently came to our country but is like 2-3 the price of Netflix, so why would I support something with less content

  • Need help with WiFi 6 mesh

    Hopefully I am in the right community.

    So I have a router, a TP Link Archer AX53, nice router. I wanted to improve the signal in my room and bought a TP link Deco X10. So CAT 6 cable to my room, connect my router and deco.

    I thought this might just be a quick tick to add the deco as a mesh device and boom problem sorted.

    Now I know this is not a simple WiFi 6 mesh setup, seems like the deco and archer modem does not work together, they make their individual network points.

    Does anyone know a solution or am I stuck with two networks. Not end of the world but would have been nice if it can be one mesh network

    Really Impressed

    I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the cmd tools being adopted by windows.

    But yesterday, after two years of seeing issues pile up and the system degrading, I thought how is the grass back on the other side, since I am sick of this shit. Installed my go to distro, Mint, and god what a fucking idiot I feel like. Even if Windows improved since I used it back from 8, but how much has Linux improved in these last two years, like eons compared to windows. My system is smooth and fast, hell my Cyberpunk 2077 runs amazing, even better and less crashing with nothing more than install and no other settings from steam. Chef's kiss
