  1. yeah ^^ I seent that this morning. holy balls man. I had to turn it off I just fucking can't. I understand they are a very small proportion of the populace and that helps me maintain a bit. fuck me that is hard to watch
  2. the hugh hefner on high!
  3. yeah man thats crazy that we see a bunch of lawyers eager to talk shit on social media
  4. look at all these assholes in one spot goddammit i'll drive you to kenny roger's house
  5. its amazing what a nice rack can accomplish
  6. re: AI. I tend to up the number of civs - like play with 14 on a small map (no city states) and this can be a freaking challenge. AI can wipe you out if you don't have walls. Once you get walls the AI never hits you with everything they got. They are always scattered, slow and just ineffective. That part I wish they could better bake into the AI gameplay. I feel like they do random war declarations but don't account for much, other than maybe my number of units. Maybe take that back 15 turns, make that decision for the AI, then have them build up their military over those 15 turns. I am oversimplifying this, but you get the point. The AI never really attacks you, they just randomly send shit at you and its way too easy to defend.
  7. peace pirate. thanks for making the football fun
  8. everybody chokes people, strangles people. I choke people, you choke people
  9. any fucking day America. arrest anyone. hello
  10. dammit @Brothahorn thats a yellow card
  11. strongly disagree. crazy is crazy does. They are malcontents. Whatever stupid shit comes out of a candidate's mouth must be deplorable - thats the entire point. The subject is actually not the point, just the blatant disregard to positive, forward thinking policy. A sane talking republican is not only going to do worse, its no longer available.
  12. the technology would be centered on microgrids and DERMs/community level generation, control and consumption. It would allow for the total interconnected nature of the grid to not be this huge failure point. People have of course been saying this is the solution for well over a decade, but mostly around weather situations. Nothing on these lines will change till the big one happens, whatever that looks like. Just hope its not July or August for you guys, because lots of people will die. Trying to incentivize this at the market level is just fucking brutally hard. You have to create reward scenarios more around up time and/or more penalty schemes around downtime, but good luck having a force majeure like terrorist situation trying to drive that legal ship forward. A fucking mess it is, and will be.
  13. thank you. privilege is exactly the right word. lets all not talk politics during thanksgiving. yeah ok. that will not end well in the long run.
  14. oh surely this will happen, but for now what is happening is worse. its going to be a gray area with some cover given by said law enforcement, which could end in inaction and confusion. the fact that this hasn't happened more often is absolutely shocking. same feeling I had when watching suicide bombers figure out how to use airplanes. utilities are a huge, poorly guarded target with a very high reward potentially. hell, i can't believe any foreign actor hasn't acted on this yet. and to be clear, we know (the US gov/state gov/utilities) that foreign actors have bugged just about everything. there are public audits on this very issue for utilities across the country and this was 10+ years ago.
  15. alright Simulation, I see you but you just look desperate now. Knock it off.
  16. good vid from our homie zeihan. more of the same here from him on end of China narrative, but more modern update with comments on what could happen next during/after protests
  17. China's zero covid policy is fucking mindbottling. I feel so bad for those people.
  18. good on them. I loved it there and one of the reasons is this. The level of respect they show for other people is amazing. Their following of Shinto to some extend explains their belief in respect to nature and others. Obv many other things contribute to this culture. Every time me and the wife unit depart a foreign country and head back to the US we always bet on when the ugly American will show up first. Its 100% in the airport of the country we are boarding the plane in. When this happened in Japan it was an American family screaming at each other in the airport terminal. Mom at kid, father at mom, etc and holy shit was it jarring after a just a week there.
  19. Almost everyone agrees on common sense gun reform and you still have these arguments that are on repeat for decades. Its really crazy to me how as a society America is paralyzed and can't do shit about fuck all.
  20. yeah AUD and it was $130 for one ~13 pounder. All food here is waaaay expensive due to continue flooding of farm and ranchland for almost 2 years now. on top of all the other reasons why food is more expensive these days all my non American friends are pumped to have a whole turkey and do it proper 🤘 hope all you homies had a nice Thanksgiving
