Not being able to function independently, and existing in a world where the average person in good health struggles to survive and find gainful employment is more like killing a person slowly in a very cruel and torturous way in many cases, like with anyone living in the USA of the present.

Actually look at the way Discord works in your network, like all the raw IP addresses and and connections with no clear ownership or human readable name, with dozens of changing connections to get any of it to work. Then go try to ask questions about what is going on and who you're connecting to. Discover that none of it is documented or described anywhere. Then realize that this means no one running Discord is doing so on a fully audited and logged host. You simply cannot be without a bunch of effort. I made it to the 6th layer of whitelisted raw IP addresses, and still nothing worked while trying to connect to Discord in a fully logged and documented network. I am simply unwilling to write a script to annotate that many connections so that all of my logs make sense. I seriously doubt anyone on Discord is doing so, and they certainly lack any understanding of what they are connecting to, why, or the protocols. So the Discord user is telling me "my opsec and privacy awareness is as nonexistent as a pig in a herd running off a cliff, and my system should be assumed compromised with no idea of what might be connected." Everyone else doing it is a garbage excuse. That no one appears to have gotten hurt – has tissue thin merit, but also reveals that the user runs blind in herds while hoping for the best. Such information infers a lot about a person, their depth, accountability, and ethics – in certain scopes.

Population of Aspen was ~1200 at the time. Total vote was 377 people (173/204), or ~31.5% turn out. Someone with good charisma and a mini van would only need 7 car loads of 5 people to win this election.

In reality, if people want to take back the world, it doesn't take millions of dollars. It just takes some charisma a solid day of work and a minivan. Knock on doors, tell people you'll take them for free to a place with short lines. Check that they are prepared to vote, toss a cooler full of drinks and snacks in the back, and win.

I have a small hard drive that is making a constant high pitched sound that is typical of the drive, and not very noticeable to the average person, but I have pain induced noise sensitivity. I am curious about how to calculate damping potential. As an initial guestimate, the frequency is very near to my maximum audible range and likely around 12kHz-16kHz. It is a little higher than the switch mode power supplies that I can also hear if it is dead silent in the room, although the drive is a higher amplitude. Addressing the noise with a solution is probably beyond the scope of anything I would actually do, but knowing how to solve it is far more interesting to me. (ELI15 )

 

Porn is up right now with trolls and ~50 down votes in 2 posts. I don't recognize any of the mods. I don't care to take over, but I will catch any flags in these off hours as I stay up late most of the time in California stretching into this time of day when peak evening hours are over the empty Pacific.

Banned shitpost from LW bc some islamiphobe called this islamiphobic to faceswap Trump with bin Laden in a satirical context of calling Trump's actions terrorism. His policies have and will kill far more people than bin Laden ever did. He caused the largest stock market drop in history. That is stollen money and potential. He is a criminal and belongs on such a poster. Still I removed anything potentially harmful. It is not even "Wanted" or any call to action.

Perhaps explaining things in stupid level depth is required here for the proliferation of children and those adolescent of mind.
