If everyone in a town has a house, could you say that town is homelessnessless?

Karyoplasma ,

So, you are saying I should ask my representatives to focus more on achieving homelessnesslessness?

YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead

Generally medical professionals do not vouch for using milk for tear gas despite it often being touted. The research seems to suggest they are largely the same in providing relief...

Karyoplasma ,

They should try beer. Capsaicin is not soluble in water, but it is in ethanol. I don't think it will help relieve the irritated membranes tho.

I suspect beer to carry a similar infection risk as milk.

Karyoplasma , (edited )

Beer doesn't have a high enough alcohol volume level to be a disinfectant (recommended is 70+% ethanol, beer has 4-5%), just high enough to get drunk after the fermenting process comes to a halt when the sugar in the wort is sufficiently depleted.

Karyoplasma ,

Nitpicking: the fermentation is done by a fungus, specifically a yeast strain. The fermentation process stops when you introduce oxygen, aka open the fermentation tank, or when the sugar in the wort is depleted. The yeast then just becomes inactive and you can potentially restart the fermentation at home by putting sugar in the beer and sealing it airtight. Most commercial beers remove the yeast through filtering or pasteurizing or both tho, so that would probably only work for craft beer. And it would make the result taste terrible I assume.

Some bacteria do not tolerate alcohol at all and will die from beer, but generally beer is not a disinfectant. Vodka isn't either by the way, still too low levels of alcohol. But it works better than beer.

Karyoplasma ,

Not really, no. It was more a tongue-in-cheek comment than an actual suggestion.

Karyoplasma ,

Semi-related question: I have a bunch of pseudointellectual philosophy bullshit that was posted on 4chan around 2005-2007. Would the community appreciate those?

Karyoplasma ,

The companies aren't "hip" or "cool"

I believe the industry term is "agile".

My last job offered free beer after 4pm on fridays.

It was smart as fuck if you think about it. For the small price of a few crates of beer, you got 20+ people talking in their free time, and on the weekend, without additional pay. It was officially off-work but since most of your coworkers were there, there was a lot of work-related exchange going on.

"That 8-year old is definitely a militant for letting Hamas hide behind him."

-IDF targetting assistant AI

Now the question of the day: was this a "legally killed child" we should not be outraged about because war is war?

(/s for the idiots out there)

The glide ratio of a Cessna 172 is about 9:1, video is from a T210N Centurion II, a similarly sized but heavier plane, so its gliding capabilities are worse.

The glide ratio of an Airbus A320 is 17:1.

A huge Airbus is much better at gliding than a small Cessna.

Maybe a bush pilot. There are many remote areas that don't have airfields big enough to service large planes and if medicine, food or people need to go there, they have to be brought in by smaller planes that can land on those airfields.

Here is a YT channel of a bush pilot in Papua New Guinea if you're interested.

  1. Sonic booms are cool

  2. Could have been a part of the incidence investigation to rule out that the crash was caused by the wake turbulence of the fighter jets going supersonic.

Karyoplasma ,

It's happening because people allow it to happen. I recently unsubbed from a channel because they were beginning to use community posts to promote sponsors. Like a giant fucking post with complete BS like "I always wanted to do X video and now thanks to RAID SHADOW LEGENDS include huge pic it is now reality. Thank you RAID SHADOW LEGENDS and with code BullshitPromoFromYT you get 10% off the newest hat or whatever shit they sell in that game". Some people complained and asked the creator not to do this, but they were quickly flooded by the hordes of "they have to make money somehow"-drones. Despicable.

Karyoplasma ,

You know, I've always wondered why people substitute ß with ss if it's not available in the typeset. The name of ß is literally "Eszett", so it should be substituted with sz.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information ( futurism.com )

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Karyoplasma ,

"We do AI now". Shareholders creaming themselves, stocks going to the moon. New yacht for PichAI.

Captcha was implemented to stop bots and now they are so fucked up that bots are better at solving captchas than humans.

For example the captcha on this site (it's a google search proxy). It took me 4 tries and last time I checked, I was human. To be fair, they call it an intelligence check, so maybe that was the problem.

Karyoplasma ,

I somehow have the feeling that before Putin goes down, he'll just push the "send all nukes" button.

Karyoplasma ,

I don't think the button was ever pushed. Cuba crisis came very close and the false alerts were automated messages that were correctly deemed as false by the commanders. As far as I know there has never been a direct order to fire that got denied.

Karyoplasma ,

Click on article, see that I require a "free account", leave site, block 404media.co on my DNS.

Karyoplasma ,

It looks worse than the cars I built with Lego bricks at the age of 5.

Karyoplasma ,

bing itself is unusable tho. I get a full page of "sponsored links" before any tentatively relevant search result pop up. DDG at least removes the sponsored bullshit.

9 years later, I finally played fallout 4

Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I've played through (Skyrim and Oblivion)...

Karyoplasma ,

Do a Child of Atom playthrough, if you haven't already.

Rush to Far Harbor and acquire the Robes of Atom's Devoted and end the DLC by destroying FH for the perk. Wear the robes, get irradiated until almost dead (above 900 rads) and congratulations, you now deal double damage, are immune to radiation and ignore the effects of rads on your HP bar.

Israeli war cabinet votes to expand Rafah operation area, amid growing U.S. concerns ( www.axios.com )

Amid growing U.S. concerns about the humanitarian situation in Rafah, the Israeli security cabinet approved last night the "expansion of the area of ​​operation" of the Israel Defense Forces in the southern Gaza city, according to three sources with knowledge of the details....

Romanes eunt domus!

Link the part of the Hamas founding charter that says anything about America. I'll wait, good luck.

On the other hand, "from the river to the sea" (the feared slogan) is a direct reply to the Likud's election manifesto from 1977 which stated: "Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."

pizza with anchovies, olives and capers.

Karyoplasma ,

Good, I'm very territorial about my food. Want a bite? Get your own.

Karyoplasma ,

This reminds me of a legendary thread in the forums of the German gaming magazine GameStar:

https://www.gamestar.de/xenforo/threads/world-of-warcraft-2.337502/

Karyoplasma ,

The OP replied a few time as well, reiterating that this is a serious project. They even uploaded some of the "photorealistic" models, but the pics are offline, sadly.

I don't think it was ever truly revealed whether it was an elaborate troll or just a spark of adolescent folly.

Karyoplasma ,

My suggestion would be:

Kruti pedali poka pizdy ne dali!

They use version control that creates schnappsshots.

They’ve been able to blow up planets since the days of 9000 power levels, probably even with 1000, yet with power levels of 1B the fights are largely the same. Explain this as some sort of ki concentration, where your energy has…more energy per energy, or something?

To be a planet killer, you need a power level of around 2500. So 1000 is not sufficient, 9000 is overkill.

It's stupid if you think about it. Instead of fighting and potentially losing, you could just blow up the planet and killing every strong fighter on it because being able to breathe in space is not a learnable technique. It's kinda like the "why use any spell other than Avada Kedavra?" in Harry Potter and the answer is, there isn't really a point.

The Dragon Balls take a year to charge, but are often usable pretty much right away - the RR army get them 8 months after they were used, and despite being used to revive Goku the Earth balls are used basically a month later because Kami is revived. Maybe just explain it as Kami needing time to revive them as they’re intrinsically linked? It Kami goes on bed rest, you’ll have Dragon Balls in a few weeks…

The Dragon Balls source their power from the guardian that governs them. So, each set has different rules set by their guardian and the guardian can also arbitrarily change those rules. When Kami was revived, he apparently changed the 1-year recharge (if I remember right this is also said by him but I might be wrong, been I while since I've watched the early arcs). A definite change occurred when Dende took over guardianship over Earth and restored the Dragon Balls and made them about as powerful as the Namekian ones.

The biggest plot device in Dragon Ball are the zenkai boosts and how inconsistent they are in both power and occurrence. The one Goku got on Namek just prior to the Frieza fight was astronomical because they made Frieza way too strong even for SSJ Goku to defeat without an asinine boost. At the end of the regular Dragon Ball, Goku had all his limbs broken and a huge hole in his chest just above the heart, certainly a terminal condition, but he received no zenkai boost at all. When Radditz showed up, Goku was just as strong as in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai which makes absolutely zero sense. You cannot even pull the "it was just a showmatch"-card on that one because the finals were not a showmatch and Piccolo Jr fully intended to eradicate Goku to avenge his father.

Bears usually don't attack unless they are startled or defend their cubs. Which is why you wear bells on hiking trails where bear encounters are likely, it makes them fuck off back into the woods. They don't want to meet you, you're too dangerous to be prey and a bear has to be seriously emaciated to even consider hunting you. Unless it's a polar bear, those absolutely regard you as prey and they will hunt, kill and eat you (on the pro side you won't see them coming until you as good as dead, they are excellent stalkers).

Karyoplasma ,

They won't learn anything. They only nulled their bullshit because it would hurt their financial quarter because their biggest cash cow game at the moment is bombing. They only way to maybe make them learn would be if every single one of the "outraged gamers" would just uninstall and never play it again, but that won't happen and Sony knows that (which is why they can try pulling that shit in the first place).

Good for the peeps in non-PSN countries tho. For them, this is a real win.

Karyoplasma ,

I don't get ads in general. They don't work. I never bought something that got presented to me from an ad because I know ads are deliberately lying to me, so the product they show is the first product I don't consider purchasing.

Karyoplasma ,

Boeing deliberately only hires people with suicidal tendencies. It's a non-negotiable character trait.

Karyoplasma ,

The same company that gave out free baby formular to poor African families and then, after a couple of months, went "nuh-uh you now have to pay so your babies don't die lol"? Surprising.

Karyoplasma ,

Guess why France has a some pro-consumer laws that wouldn't fly in other countries. It's because if the government pisses the people off, they instantly respond with rioting. It works.

Karyoplasma ,

It's a wild animal caged for display. As in: may act erratically.

Karyoplasma ,

Cheddar is well worth a visit. It's a cozy, little town and the gorges are gorgeous (huehuehue). There are also awesome hiking trails around there.

Karyoplasma ,

American cheese often does contain actual cheddar. It's basically a cheese blend that is mixed together with sodium citrate. I live in Germany and American cheese cannot be sold as "cheese" here, the industry usually calls it "Sandwichscheiben", but maybe Switzerland is less strict.
