Also…my thought is that there are many conservatives who hate what they can’t have. Perhaps they secretly do like septum piercings on women, but because they can’t fuck, they hate.

I wouldn’t forgive, but you could always give the veneer of forgiveness in order to get them on your side. It sounds machiavellian, but sometimes using cult tactics like love bombing against people who are susceptible to such tactics, as magats have shown to be susceptible to, is necessary for a better world. You don’t have to forgive them in your heart.

Hmmm, my guess is that Valve is trying to keep onto their funds rather than sell at loss because they’re afraid of the lawsuits levied by other corpos, which are being weaponized against them.

What will likely happen is that when we finally get a Democrat in next election, all the bad shit Trump caused will just be blamed on the Democrats who just got into office.

You can cancel their stuff online if in CA.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Historically imperialism being bipartisan in the US has been shown to be true. You can still vote blue no matter who and still acknowledge that fact.

Even if used “correctly”, it can still cause significant collateral damage. I wouldn’t normalize even the use of tactical nuclear weapons, as it’s only one degree of separation away from use on civilian centers. I can see the justification now…“(insert group) terrorists have set up tunnels underneath the civilian population center! We must nuke the city!”

Supposedly the age verification thing that’s needed is the equivalent to a porn site verification. Just enter a birthday that’s in the 1800s, and you’re set. This is still a bad direction to go towards though, as it’ll set precedent for future bullshit.

Supposedly the article says that Motorola will be implementing “some” of the features from GrapheneOS in some of their other phones. So whilst not GrapheneOS proper, you still might see some graphenOS like/lite type stuff on budget phones.

Some people make their own barrels with electro chemical machining. But that’s usually for people who can’t get their hands on parts.

My guess is that any good Linux phone experience would need greater funding from some company or foundation…(Valve please?)

North Korea ain’t a good country. But it is a good example that having nukes prevents powerful countries from fucking with you.

That is bonded leather I think.

From what I know, Kanji can help with removing some ambiguity.

This seems about right. Progress was originally supposed to be 5-10 years. I’m not too sure on how effective these prototypes are. My guess is that their progress of EUV sources is quite far now, but that they’ll still need to have greater progress in regards to domestically created collector & debris mitigation systems, projection optics, mask blanks and other things.

Edit Addendum: Note, article agrees with the timeline of 5 years behind for China. Since their EUV source(presumably) works differently from ASML’s LPP EUV(many think China is going LDP route for EUV source), research may still go up to 10 years, as they will likely need to account for this when researching the other components in a full scanner. Alot of significant modifications or straight up new shit will have to be made. And even then, it’ll need to be commerically viable to compete with the West.

My guess is that maybe Valve was able to get a bunch of RAM before the price hikes.

I wonder if they’ll have a package with base stations? I know it doesn’t need it, but it might make for a better experience for those who do want it.

My guess is that they can slowly regrow lost enamel under fillings, slowly build back up later by layer until a filling is no longer needed. What would be amazing is a cure for gum disease.

Art classes can introduce you to new techniques that you wouldn’t have otherwise pursued and elevate your art to greater heights. Depending on the school, it also helps with networking. Lotsa famous animators at places like CalArts, Sheridan, Gobelins, etc.

I often hear AI enthusiasts say that AI democratized art. As if art weren’t already democratized. Most anyone can pick up a pen, draw, write, type, move a mouse, etc. What AI democratizes in art, is the perception of skill. Which is why when you find out a piece of art was made by inputting some short prompt into a generator, you become disappointed. Because it would be cool, if the person actually had the skill to draw that. Pushing a few buttons to get that, not so much.
