KillingTimeItself,

idk man, gog already has it pretty fucking good. Maybe it’s not as nice as steam, but DRM free games that just fucking work is about as good as you’re going to get really.

That fact that i can just stuff terabytes of games i own onto a disk and then fuck off is awesome. BTW, if you want a good gog interface, i’ve been using heroic games launcher for a bit with epic, it’s pretty good, do recommend it.

KillingTimeItself,

i wasnt even aware they had a partnership prior to this, that’s really cool actually. Hopefully that goes somewhere.

KillingTimeItself,

sorry, im just trying to figure out how the fuck someone gets a cybertruck stuck on sand of all things.

KillingTimeItself,

how? Or more specifically, what?

KillingTimeItself,

i mean yeah, but like. You can literally dig it out in most cases. Regardless of that fact, airing down tires is a good idea, though im sure the tire deco would’ve mauled the tires in this instance. And sharp turns is just a bad fucking idea.

KillingTimeItself,

i mean, i suppose so, but that’s not a flaw. That’s marketing.

KillingTimeItself,

i think a big part of that weight with teslas is how they design drive units. Not having a mechanical drive train would help quite a bit, and free up a lot of otherwise unneeded room for changing up the platform handling. Also not being a cybertruck would probably be beneficial, im sure the body is pretty fucking heavy.

KillingTimeItself,

russia is producing artillery for ukraine? How nice of them.

KillingTimeItself,

they are SO close to having f-16s, it’s really a matter of time at this point.

The biggest problem for the US is the government, naturally.

KillingTimeItself,

i mean, it does also kind of matter though, if those shells miss they’re just going to hit civilian locations. Which in it of itself could technically be considered advantageous.

KillingTimeItself,

technically, to be accurate here. The USSRs inability to shift from an industrialized economy into a services economy is what led them to not having money. Then followed by the amusingly high oil prices of the 70s and 80s, which gave them a shit ton of money. So they were able to coast for some time. Also a significant portion of the USSRs economy was directly involved in the military.

Economics are hard man.

KillingTimeItself,

well. They aren’t technically wrong, ironically, it’s not the high value cost items that are a terrible value. Just 2 trillion (?, i dont remember the actual value) to develop the f35 is a fucking STEAL.

The problem is all the small shit. Tiny drone? Thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. You sell software for arty to the military? You bet your ass that shit costs a fortune and a half. You sell something to the military and it needs maintenance? Oops, you need to be catered ALL the way out to where that problem is now just to fix it, because nobody produces repairable things anymore. (this one is actually a big issue now)

The biggest problem with the US opening up to a war economy would be the distinct lack of any existing industry in a significant capacity to support itself, im sure that could be fixed, but we already have issues with it today. Let alone if we were to double it for instance. Correct me if im wrong here, but we have dubious levels of industry for the existing shipyards as is, let alone any significant refit, although im sure that will eventually be fixed.

not everything that people say is “fighter mafia bullshit” or propaganda, the single biggest way you can fuck up, is by being wrong. We should be careful of these things, because this is the single biggest target during a time of war, after all. We all thought that one funny soviet jet was a “super fighter” and then it was made of steel, and it turns out we had accidentally 10x’d it already. Whoops.

KillingTimeItself,

i love using sarcasm on the internet, it’s funny.

KillingTimeItself,

yeah, i suppose that’s true. Even then there is still probably marginal benefit. Just less.

KillingTimeItself,

yeah, that’s true, my main concern is less that we wouldnt be able to pull out, but more along the lines of we shouldn’t have this problem in the first place, given how much money we spend on our military.

KillingTimeItself,

i’ve never understood this tbh.

Just check it before you use it, and adjust it if needed, unless you’re hyper conscious of the particulates that tend to result from flushing, in which case fuck it, close it everytime.

KillingTimeItself,

those don’t have water bowls, no micro particulates to be thrown about.

KillingTimeItself,

america under trump is better than uh, iran, probably. any place that actively seeks out it’s citizens to silence them. Yeah.

For now.

KillingTimeItself,

i wont trade mine for yours but perhaps we can conglomerate into one person with both canadian and american citizenship?

KillingTimeItself,

i feel like housing shortage is probably the most generous phrase you can use for what is really a real estate crisis at this point.

Also you have weird animals. I’m good, i’ll stay over here.

KillingTimeItself,

trump getting elected would certainly change things.

I’m not sure how, and im not sure that it would be good, but a candidate using facist-esque rhetoric in their campaign is not exactly my favorite thing ever.

KillingTimeItself,

forget brain drain because of leaving the US, it’s brain drain from the lack of local industry. Nobody here knows how to do anything in regards to manufacturing lol.

KillingTimeItself,

ok, i’ll just take the canada one then.

KillingTimeItself,

my ass is installing linux on the first machine capable of having linux installed on it.

You are not safe, there is nothing you can do to stop me.

KillingTimeItself,

are you not familiar with houses having attached bathrooms in the master bedroom?

Its a thing here in NA for suburban homes, and for houses in europe to some degree im guessing.

KillingTimeItself,

leave, performing a mercy kill on the laptop.

No associate of mine is going to be using windows xp.

KillingTimeItself,

you think me, a linux user, is leaving home without a handful of bootable drives?

KillingTimeItself,

THIS is a classic.

KillingTimeItself,

damn, guess that’s a green flag then.

KillingTimeItself,

free and open source software is inherently sexy!

KillingTimeItself,

one step at a time my friend, one step at a time…

KillingTimeItself,

as long as i can make it do my bidding for me!

KillingTimeItself,

the biggest problem with prepping, ironically, is other people.

The more prepared you are, the more of a target you are, the more someone else will want you dead, in order to take over your equipment.

Unless you are quite literally nomadic, you simply cannot be ready.
