Truly, dinosaurs with guns ! Glocks to stave off the extinction of the species ! What a wonderful idea, I would have never thought of that, somehow I must have heard about it somewhere before, surely !

I told the truth and people downvote the truth. It is sad. Somehow pushing “The Message” absolves people of any responsibility to what they are supporting and doing causing problems.

Won’t this cause nicks and dulling as sudden heating and impact lead to both knives becoming extremely useless ?

Also replacing one of the knives with a sharpening rod, I can sort of suspend disbelief enough to believe it “possible”.

Why Dodos never get a fair shake I’ll never know.

I rest my case when people say:

baseless fear mongering

In xenophobic Japan, a foreigner especially an African is allowed to massacre Japanese people with zero consequences. The same problem will exist if a westerner enters Japan and massacres Japanese citizenry with zero consequence.

It was a very anti-Japanese ( replace Japanese with Jewish or any other ethnic or cultural or minority group ) game centered in Japan. ( Butsu buddha statue is expressly forbidden in Japan from pictorial / digital / non-real-life representations but Ubisoft decided to make a digital 3d model and place it in AC:S) with blatant disrespect and cultural-dissonance.

If it was Yagyu Juubei and Naoe or some similar Japanese main-characters there would be almost no backlash . Edit2: complete rejection as non-immersive and non-Japanese behaviour.

Edit: Listen to gamers and sensible people who actually care for a good Ubisoft game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUu7-i1kMyg

Edit2: Listen to a Japanese perspective to the problems Ubisoft has caused Japan. An entire country offended for greedy corpos and fake DEI messaging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GYauJy9fJ0

Putin is paranoid and insane.

If he ever pushes the button and the Russian soldier “following orders” all of them will stand trial at the ICC for war-crimes against humanity and the entire-planet earth.

The first nation that attempts at launching nukes success-or-failure will get crushed by the rest of the world.

Nuclear-Mutually-Assured-Total-Destruction is not a joke. It is reality we live in everyday.

It is the same/similar problem that Nokia/Maemo and Sailfish/merOS have all had.

Some things are binary-blobs + NDAs and many things are still locked, the OSS community can only do so much before they hit the commercial roadblocks.

We need a complete CoreBoot + OSS silicon-chips + OSS firmware + all-community / all-commercial dual production lines.

The open-source-based company should be able to sell both the commercial locked-version and the oss-all-unlocked-version with the ability to switch infinitely between the two models.

But the world of electronics rarely will ever work or reach that level of interoperability , repairability or recycling this way. Not for a long time maybe in some distant future.

Any sanitation worker, sewage diver, drain block remover, in most of the third-world countries.

We need city drainages to be repaired, cleaned, maintained, and managed with draconian safety, extremely well-compensated, hazardpay up the wazoo workers comp and complete-healthcare all covered for life. So many workers are just abused for the lifeline work that keep a city’s arteries from getting clogged and flowing smoothly.

I saw how Korean drain-workers do it with high-pressure water jets and incredible efficiency and knowhow talent of their vital job. I wish we didnt have the corruption that prevents this type of training, trained worker, worker pride in the essential labour that they do.

Same goes for recycling and reducing waste. We humans don’t do nearly enough and the Top-20 major corporations that cause 80% of worldwide pollutants go unchecked and unpunished.

Is that Food Reviews- Running on Empty - Report of the Week guy?

Orville is a return to the ST:TNG formula that made Picard and Riker so famous and much loved.

I actually like Seth and Adriana as CiC and FO. They play off each other without seeming disingenuous.

Now it is up to Kamala and the DNC to hold their promises and keep fighting till election day.

1. Keep campaigning in key rust-belt states.

2. Stay on message.

3. Pass as many executive orders to be finalized after Jan 6 2025.

4. Keep fighting for the middle-class families and get people like Bernie Sanders and Katie Porter and Tammy Duckworth to front-run every possible middle-class campaign and draft bills for congress, house and senate.

DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSIES OR SIT BACK IDLY!

Get Elected and then do whatever PR statement, controversy, bs etc.

3 billion from StarLink is not even remotely believable. StarLink does not have a customer base of 100+ million yet.

8 BEEELLION USD per YEAR for a Private Business Owner … PLEASE SIGN ME UP ! :-D

Are you seriously thinking that SpaceX can generate 8 BILLION USD revenue ???

StarLink probably brings in about 30 to 50 USD million per year … thats not taking into account the cost of StarLink satellite launches … so that is probably break-even or a small loss-leader. ( there are maybe about 80 million StarLink customers ? paying 50 USD per month … )

Please give me even 1 MILLION USD ! :-D Let alone 8 ! EIGHT ! VIII !!! BEEELLLION DOLLARS !!!

SpaceX can’t survive without govt grants upwards of 8 billion USD ? per year?

So thats coming out of NASA… which means not self-sufficient …

So, since this is related to your course and a required part of assignments, get things in writing,

1. Let the Dorm and ISP know that you need an exception due to coursework.

2. It might be in your best interest to temporarily invest in your own internet,I think 5G might have low enough latency to manage the connection.

If all this is for one semester until you move back ? Just get a cheap mini-PC install pfSense or any other firewall/router software to isolate all your devices and Wifi router from the rest of the network. I believe some people have mentioned MAC-spoofing and TTL-reset as ways to bypass detection. And if anyone asks, you can show your written communications and your course requirements.

Always be on the safe side when it comes to dealing with academics and private orgs.

There might be a Dept Counselor or Rep you can discuss about your requirements. Even professors can help with some of these kind of things.

Downright idiotic to use “Northern India” as a known climate. During COVID the air-pollution cleared up enough to photograph the foothills of the Himalayas from New Delhi.

Can you imagine HOW much Indians have screwed up the entire climate of India ?

It is not even funny the deaths caused due to man-made pollution in India.

And Indians are the majority causing the man-made pollution not “foreign” entities.
