  1. That would be one of the founders of the proud boys
  2. That dunk was allsome
  3. Holy fucking GRAND SLAM GET REKT TECH
  4. "seek out a support group which is actually a bunch of white supremacists using political beliefs as an excuse for how they feel" baw gawd she nailed it. Feels are what's the real thing to these weak little men.
  5. Consumer protections are woke, duh. It would be communist if we didn't let your personal information be bought and sold by 3rd parties to the detriment of your daily life. This is the actual reasoning used by our legislators why we don't have this sort of protection
  6. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-offers-political-asylum-elon-musk-over-trump-feud-2081887 Love to see the trolls fighting trolls
  7. See: leopards eating faces
  8. He's more like GDGD than Strong. Had everything he needed to get endzone damn near every play, but instead ran bubble screens for YEARS
  9. Idk man, consumer financial protections sound pretty woke
  10. I am getting a kick out of all these Cerveza Cristal memes
  11. My toddler is gonna be pissed
  12. What a wild way to end the game if it works out that way lmao
  13. ICE stormtroopers are dressing as public utility workers to gain entry, and then illegally arresting those inside https://tucson.com/news/local/border/article_e949f7c5-d339-4546-804c-cbb3c970af38.html This is straight up evil cruelty. Someone is gonna have to buy a shitload of Haitian orphanages to pay off this stain on their soul
  14. CVN's aren't a defensive weapons system - they're power projection. The US policy for the last six or seven decades has been power projection as foreign policy. Since we're giving up on foreign policy the CVN's were a bad investment
  15. hooray, they've created paypal with extra steps and somehow even less guardrails! It's specifically breaking the trustless model of BTC to require trust in a 3rd party and the sidechain you set up with them to enable lightning network payments. And it requires up-front funding of any escrow lightning side-chains you set up, which is a considerable barrier to onboarding.
  16. Great, and why is putting a 30+ minute transaction confirmation timer into a tablet a panacea for any of the previously covered problems with actually conducting commerce with this so-called currency? And yeah no shit finance goons are figuring out ways to financialize the BTC and to do what, pray tell? Oh yeah, secure ACTUALLY USEFUL currency against it as loan collateral. None of it is actually useful - or to your rhetoric - freeing. It's just putting your financial life into the hands of profit extractors that definitionally do not have your best interests at heart
  17. The OSint YouTube community is allsome. New satellite imagery dropped to get better plane casualties from the attack. Crazy that's just a consumer service now It seems the attack was only 60% effective, with a few targeted airbases getting significantly less than maximum firepower effect. Another interesting wrinkle is that when compared to pre-attack footage, a number of their aircraft haven't moved in over a year and are missing components like engines or props
  18. What you're doing right now is what he gets out of it. He's a contrarian troll that enjoys disagreeing and getting people spun up. There's a reason he works in the death panel industry
  19. It's just funny, because you can't buy food, shelter, diapers, formula or medicine with BTC. We've beaten this dead horse over and over, and simply saying another protocol that is unused for commerce doesn't fix that either
  20. I'm running a 24B parameter model locally on my 5070ti and I get completely acceptable results with it, but it doesn't have the context window of a cloud hosted model and responses aren't as fast. I use ollama and chatbox as my local stack and it's a pretty capable solution for doing note summarization and other personal tasks. Heck, I can even power Cline with an ollama-hosted (local) model and it's been a lovely coding companion for helping fill out unit test coverage and fixing python version upgrade compatability things. Intel's newest B50 and B60 GPUs ($300 and $500) are really well suited for locally hosted models, 16GB of memory and 170TOPs at 70W of power is pretty compelling
  21. The amateur historian in me can't help but draw some similarities to the Battle of Taranto, in which Britain conducted the first successful naval airstrike that downed combat ready battleships and cruisers. The British pulled it off because nobody thought it was possible - they only had rinky dink wood and canvas Swordfish biplanes. That attack in 1940 is what proved the concept of naval aviation, and directly inspired the IJN attack on Pearl Harbor. I feel like another military tectonic shift happening with the success of these drone strikes. This is a victory that could have tipped the scales during the Cold War, or at least caused the USSR to significantly back off due to a leg of its nuclear triad getting kneecapped. Ukraine did pulled it off with fuckin QUADCOPTERS! The weapon efficiency seen on the video is wild - "that one is burning, next one, next one, oh I'll hit that one that isn't burning yet"
