Hyperfocused nerdism does that to a mfer. Whatever coding aspect people are interested in, will get improved, while all the rest stays untouched.

They are worlds apart yes. Russia actually has an amazing academia network that is suffering greatly from Putins politics. Most recently seen by hundreds of academics having to stop their collaboration with CERN because of the war. Compared to NK, Russia is just a normal country with lots of IT and science nerds.

However if you look at the US and their rural MAGA population, it shows that there can just be a massive rift within the population. And thats what you have in Russia too i would assume.

Kinda fucked for the people that didnt sow, but yeah, the ones that did shall enjoy the reaping.

Stop giving insane people hope that they will ever be able to realize their insane ideas.

Is it not? I have only ever seen it used like this.

It is chemically indistinguishable. This is usually not the case for imitations or knockoffs in other market sectors. So it should be highlighted to prevent a misleading narrative.

Oh i see, so you wanna look at your insides. Nice. I mean depending on which hole you wanna look at, i would be concerned about sharp edges on the tip of that thing in the image. Its also probably not water tight.

Reminded me of Adam Savage swallowing a camera robot (Pillbot) very cool video, can recommend.

What is a borescope tho?

Damn that sucks :/

Middle mouse clicking posts to open them in a new tab, when? Mastodon web is unusable for me until this gets implemented.

I dont really endorse this blog, but this is an interesting post about the compounding pharmacy situation:

These are not civilians, they are clearly armed and usually trained in combat. They are active military combatants and they should be called that. Replacing "settlers" with "militias" seems like a good start.

Yeah because they dont want their families to go to reeducation camps, so they stay silent.

The source is at the bottom of the picture. I would just assume its a US study, because its a study about idiots.

The Y axis seems to be absolute numbers with the highest around 75 total. So yeah, small numbers.

They dont have brooms, they only have bulldozers. I would prefer my living room un-bulldozed.

And how does that have anything to do with the current political siuation mr troll? People declaring independence is a thing that has been happening everywhere since forever. You think the US should be taken back by the British?

This is what i never understand about attempts at P2P hosting of copyright content. It only works BECAUSE its obscure and irrelevant. As soon as it gets popular, all of these people and their VPN providers would get crushed by lawsuits.

Dont get me wrong i love P2P tech, but it will never solve these issues unless the laws are fixed.

C418 my beloved <3

Eh i wouldnt worry about it too much. That number would change very quickly if it came to an actual situation.

I think generally most people are willing to defend their home against foreign invaders if it is at all realistic/possible. I have heard people say about refugees "Why dont they defend their homes, then they wouldnt have to flee". But this obviously only makes sense if there is a chance of winning. When your enemies are overwhelmingly more powerful and you have no allies, then what is the point in dying for nothing.

With Taiwan they know that they have a decent military and worldwide support. So this makes sense to me.

Well unless its some vegan drink like almond milk, it most certainly is breastmilk.

The old apk should still work tho right? I was always offline at school and was still playing it, so if you find an old apk archive it should work.

No thank you. I would prefer if they had as little influence over anything in the world as possible.

The obama thing in flint is when i realized almost all politicians are fucking empathy lacking sociopaths. You just have to figure out and choose the ones that plan to win by doing the things that are the least deranged.

After officials briefed Obama on the federal government’s response to the contamination and he addressed the news media, a reporter asked if he would drink the water in a glass on the table. The president said he usually avoids publicity stunts. But he took a drink, saying he wanted to show the water must be safe if he’s drinking it.

“This used a filter,” Obama said of the water. “The water around this table was Flint water and it just confirms what we know scientifically, which is, if you’re using a filter, if you’re installing it, then Flint water at this point is drinkable.”

The second part is technically correct but its still a very clear attempt at trying to make it seem like things were fine. And now we are where we are, many years later, and the pipes are still all fucked because it wasnt taken serious.

Yeah good point. When things arent easily sorted into "good" and "bad" then getting people to put together an organized resistance is much much harder.

Oh i see, i havent had a playstore on my phone for almost 10 years so i dont really remember what the UI looks like.

If you are lucky yes, if not they come over every sunday to throw eggs at your house. (Technically still not talking to you so hey...)

Second time i see this, still funny :)

But maybe you wont stop it in time for some of them, so then the families of those few in the front that died will forever hate you for not stopping it slightly sooner.

Checkmate. Monster fucker wins by default as always.

This would never have not been news. Its sad that it has to be, but it does need to be on the news.

I mean historically it was founded on the basis of a genocide, so from that point of view sure.

Reminds me of Lee Miller. Started as a model and ended up as a WW2 war photographer.

Can highly recommend the 2023 movie "Lee" about her. Not for the faint of heart, as it amazingly captured the horrors.

Uuuh no. They would just have to fuck one of their own kind to reproduce. Thats what i mean by getting it from genetics. The other commenter hit the nail on the head calling it werewolve eugenics. But yeah, being able to bit people to infect them sounds much more fun.

I love that we were able to decouple this meme from peterson even tho he popularized it iirc.

Its a good science meme.

There are honestly much worse groups he could be selling weapons to yeah.

Maybe there is a limitation of purity. Like the ones that got it from "infection" instead of genetics are not pure, so they cant infect more themselves.

I mean it was definitely a mistake to occupy the area and establish Israel, but now its too late to dissolve it. We just gotta figure out how the people living in the region can coexist.

Or it only applies to this specific one breed.

I dont really care what people post, as long as its on a free and decentralized network. And as long as bad posts are in their respective community (as is the case here) its fine with me.

Lemmy is not about "good posts" its about removing central authority.
