FFS you're just cherry picking your way through anything anyone says.

Argue anyone's whole comment in context or just go be a fanboy. You don't really mind if you don't like it but you're retorts are weak.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

The first three statements in my post support the fourth. Just because you don't like my conclusion doesn't make it unreasonable.

From the light details in the article, here's what's not in question: He came on to his nanny. He came on to his fan. Two separate unrelated people. They are both half his age. They both have unsubstantiated but like stories.

Now any of three things could be lies or deceptions or something else. That's why if he has something to say he deserves to be heard.

We don't have any form of denial from his side. No claims of I don't know these people or you don't have all the facts. No statements of collusion. I would assume his lawyer said don't say anything. Well this is fine and does not make him guilty it also doesn't give us even the slightest indication that any of this is a fabrication.

The next problem is when I say it's reasonable that is my subjective opinion. If you know him and have a long personal knowledge of his history maybe you have a different opinion than me.

Based on the information that's brought forward substantiated and unsubstantiated I'm saying that this is a reasonable and likely direction that this will head. That is unless they settle out of court and what you won't hear about it again.

I tried slackwear in '94. Getting it running was no big deal, but I had zero experience and documentation / help guides were thin. Installing applications or getting peripherals to work was prohibitively difficult without having a pretty decent amount of knowledge about it.

My high school had a rather large dose/novell Network but there was no internet yet. BBS's were a thing and you could get a lot of installers and information from them. But they were all running in dos for the most part

My college had a VAX, it was more or less there just to get email and power a metric ass load of terminals in the library for research purposes. They really tried to keep you out of the CLI, everything was menued. I figured out that you could go for it to a South African University about seven times in a row and it would explode and give you a telnet session, but even then I wasn't really working with an OS shell. The school had a computer lab. It was all Windows 3 and Novell, No internet for the longest time.

My ISP had options to dial up into a terminal session. My home dial up line was awful. Trying to FTP over PPP was a fool's errand. I started getting used to connecting to my ISP and FTPing files down to their local node on with their T1 and then switching over to z modem to download the files to my house with the ability to auto restart on failure.

I didn't try to run a Linux based OS again until Gnome came out.

I've been Linux in the desktop for years. You really don't have any choice other than to be a little bit flexible.

More times than not it turns out to be a plugin that screws over the site. Here's my general path:

Won't load in Firefox? Disable privacy badger and ublock origin

Still won't load? Try it in a private window with no extensions loaded

Still won't load? Move over to brave.

Still won't work? Disable Shields

Still won't work? Straight to a vanilla copy of edge, (a vanilla copy of Vivaldi would also be reasonable)

Just last night I ran into a problem with my ADP work portal. Things worked fine for ages, All of a sudden my password wouldn't work. I went into private mode My password now works but loading the actual page netted me a blank page

I opened it up in brave and it just worked outright.

Two separate unrelated people.

Both in their twenties

Invites them into second/third base consensual relations and then it turns into rough sex.

I think that it's an absolutely reasonable assumption that he is into younger women and doesn't stop after he gets the green light.

But the article is light on details, and he at least deserves to have his say in court over it.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

They're only allowed to have 7.62 cm, so from a legal standpoint it's almost twice the legal limit.

If the law doesn't make sense you don't challenge it by breaking it.

The police don't carry guns there so yeah they're concerned.

Running around twirling a clearly illegal item in public is pretty good logical grounds for police intervention. If the law says 3 in when do you actually stop them is it 4, 10, 12? If he was just transporting it from one house to another they might have let it go. But he's walking around fidgeting twirling it in the open. I suspect he was performing twirls and dagger tricks. So the general public is probably also a little concerned. If he's walking around his neighborhood twirling it around all the time it might even been a neighbor that called the police on it.

The fine is reasonable, getting locked up for 4 months is probably a bit much.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

True, I'd still give them partial credit for the dumb statement.

Law says you can't carry a knife bigger than 3 in. He carries a knife twice that size.

Does he carry concealed in his pocket?

No, He's walking around carrying it openly pretending he's a blade master, oh sorry that's he claims it's a fidget toy.

4 months in jail seems a bit excessive, but when the law says don't carry a weapon and you carry a weapon...

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

No choice. If only one side is violent, the other side will lose. It's a slippery slope, but play even or lose.

Approaching 50, use SUS regularly, skibidi usage is dropping off, I'm aware of rizz but don't really use it.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

That may be a better way to weed boomers from Gen X. Especially SUS, among us had a very wide appeal to multiple age ranges.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I mean if we're going to the store you might as well get a cart full right?

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 54 points 5 days ago

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I've had more than a handful of people bitching at me that it's impossible to make a new, open web browser in this day.

Statue of Unity - Wikipedia (en.m.wikipedia.org)

The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres (597 feet), located near Kevadia in the state of Gujarat, India. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), who was the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India...

The project was first announced in 2010, and construction started in October 2013 ... with a total construction cost of ₹27 billion (US$422 million). It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.

High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

spoilerDamn they got down to business right away! Loved the humor. Love the story, Cheezy streaming refs went on a little long. Fry, Leela and the Professors Voicing had a few rough spots that wouldn't have happened in the last incarnation, it honestly kinda reminded me of some of the early voicing in season 1. John DiMaggio's performance was flawless. I love that they kinda mixed in a small anthology, had most of the people make cameos.

Tom Scott has relaxed his release schedule, so it's kind of special when we posts a new video these days.

This house rotates, plumbing at all, the owner is kinda fun and very forthcoming with details.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bronze-age-sword-germany-180982399/

archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

it's research!

I honestly found this one googling around, but XyRow666 presented a far nicer collage than anywhere else I could find.

Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

The Rainbow Mountains of China within the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park are a geological wonder of the world. These famous Chinese mountains are known for their otherworldly colors that mimic a rainbow painted over the tops of rolling mountains.
