I just hope Europe realises precisely how weak republics are and how easy they are to overthrow and their electorates stay vigilant and engaged in the process; else they will share the same fate as Rome, Germany in the 30, the USSR, and the United States. Apathy == death. We do have the advantage o...

What I do notice is that with SSL turned off (NOT recommended!) it's MUCH faster, but entirely insecure, and this tends to bolster my opinion of general heavy loading on a resource we likely share with hundreds of other sites (some of which no doubt dwarf us) and probably some "A.I." fool...

I know in my case I was confused for quite a while. Then during corona I got the courage to do one of the makeovers where you get dressed up female and get the whole makeup, etc done. I did that, looked in the mirror and thought: nope, that's not it. It was a turning point for me, since from that mo...

Fortunately I'm able to watch BBC1/2 still while not in the UK, and watched this last night. Though I can barely believe that the first time this guy ever wore a skirt was on national television, who knows, maybe it's true. He not only wore a skirt, but actually made a Versace inspired dress for his...

Interesting near coincidence: this year marked the 750th anniversary of the founding of Amsterdam, which would mean America was founded 499 years after Amsterdam.

It's not exact though, records weren't so great back then

What technology is that? How do you go faster than light - which you will need to? The energy required to bend space-time is estimated* to be colossal. You don't go faster than light, that's the point. At 0.05c it would take 2 million years to reach the other end of the galaxy. That's a long time, ...

Grok, I’d love to believe there are aliens, but space is just too big for interstellar travel Now that's not true. With only a little bit more technology it would be possible to build generation ships that could colonise the galaxy in a million years or so. Given the time frames, distance and evolu...

If they tried to tell me I couldn't wear shorts to work I may actually quit. It's too damn warm to wear long pants.

As for styling: my work is full of nerds, if we had to worry about styling our clothes they'd have had to fire the lot of us years ago

The best way to do that isn't with slogans plastered on a t-shirt or a sticker, but simply standing up, raising high the middle finger (or the Power fist), and OWNING the matter. That works for us, but what can the people who stand with us do? It's similar to the Pride flag. If you are actually LBG...

I really enjoyed that last episode. I mean, in what other program does a building suddenly sprout lasers to shoot giant walking dinosaur bone structures? Part of the fun of Doctor Who is the occasional absurdity in the way only the British can pull off properly. The utility kilt looked pretty cool, ...

Another site I visit has had similar issues in the recent past. It looks like bots scanning the site to gather data for LLM training purposes. They're usually pretty dumb bots that ignore any and all methods to tell them to bugger off. The robots.txt for example (though this site doesn't use that). ...

I can't stop this. It's up to you. Now that I don't believe either. Ok, your political system is setup so you're basically stuck for 4 years, or at least 2. I consider this a major flaw of presidential systems, but it is what it is. You always have the most influence in your local community, so tha...

[...] I'm not sure what it says about the other world's "civilized" nations when they can sit back and watch millions upon millions of innocent American's starve to death and then seal off their borders and offer no sanctuary in their nations, and then the citizens of these very same nati...

We live in by far, the most free country on the face of God’s earth. Tell me you're an American without saying you're an American. You probably believe it too. The fact that an individual was fired because his personal choices didn’t align with those of his employer - is unfortunate, but not trauma...

Be glad you're not in the US armed forces: Transgender troops will be removed from the military . Within 30 days, the Pentagon must identify service members who have “a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria, I think wearing a skirt right now would get...
