1·1 year agoNice thanks for that. I’ve been pretty happy with it right out of the box and haven’t really needed to do much to it, but nice to know there are options.
I as well use a Anker powerconf camera and it’s fantastic… But you will need a windows machine if you want to modify firmware settings on it as their control app runs in windows. It does seem that once you modify those settings they are persistent within the hardware itself though and once you move it back to the Linux machine it should all be preserved.
Of course it’s possible someone has already closed that gap out already or maybe the app runs in wine.
110·2 years agoLol, well that narrative appears to have taken a deep turn away from reality.
You guys do understand that from the middle the insane propaganda of the right is nearly indistinguishable from the stuff coming from the left, right?
Plenty of elections have been contested… There is no evidence that I’ve seen of an attempt towards a coup d’etat.
I don’t like the guy either but holy crap… I mean a good chunk of his military administration didn’t even necessarily like the guy. I know General Goldfein personally, he wouldn’t have allowed Trump to stage a coup… That man was and is about as honorable a general as one could ask for.
You can oppose Trump and also not fall for media sensationalism, I promise you will be okay.
I think it’s possible you may be young enough that you don’t know or remember the controversy surrounding Reagan, or Bush, or Clinton, or Bush again. I mean Reagan was so controversial that people tried to assassinate him and there media was reporting he was mentally unfit in his second term. Reaganomics was incredibly controversial and Democrats in that day treated it almost the same way that the Republicans today are treating Bidenomics.
Trust me in the grand scheme of American politics Trump isn’t wildly unique. I offer those words to everyone not in his defense, because fuck that guy, but in hopes of inspiring a little more calm in the world because it ain’t healthy for any of us to be this outraged all the time. All it does is just make us all more vulnerable to being manipulated.
Meh, the world was crazy before Trump and it’s going to remain crazy long after he is gone. I didn’t care for the guy all that much but I can’t see the point in treating him like some giant milestone in American politics.
People thought it was insane that we elected an actor to serve as President just a few decades ago and acted in much the same way then as people act about Trump today.
No no… this is the dissenting opinion I was referring to…
“We as a board are making it more controversial than it has to be,” said board member Anthony Andrews, who complimented the kids for doing exactly what we want our young people to do: show leadership and initiative, identify problems and find solutions. “If we vote no on this, we send the message that we don’t trust the students."
You know that it’s named that because the founder is John Lynch, right?
People had the name long before anyone associated it to murder…
I really wish they would give at least a tiny bit of context to this summary. It would be nice to just know if it was purely malicious or if it was due to some sort of bureaucratic nonsense where they have some sort of strict rules in place that forces them to refuse grants of any kind or something.
Either way it would be ridiculous to refuse… But for fuck’s sake at least offer a little bit of context… The summary here just reads like pure outrage porn…
Pitchforks and torches are fucking tiring to carry around all the damn time…
Edit: just read the full article and yeah that’s fucked up… school board voted against the grant because of the organization it was coming from and clearly had no desire to evaluate the project on its own merits… The dissenting opinion from one member of the board is actually a really good one and would recommend anyone curious to go read it.
Had a chance once to stand about 100m from a B1 Lancer while it performed a full afterburner combat takeoff.
Just absolutely incredible… It’s so ungodly loud that your ears basically have no purpose and it’s like you are hearing through your whole body.
91·2 years agoNo chance… The taint stain wipe industry lobbyists are way to powerful and far to rich to let something like that slide…
“press harder…” “Make sure sack is dry and try again”
Day to day, yes… Decade to decade, very unlikely.
It would make for a very interesting biometric lock mechanism though…
“… Hold on boys, just need to unlock my phone real quick…”
32·2 years agoFor what it is worth, today Netanyahu is exceptionally unpopular among more secular Israelis.
Additionally Lehi, is only one example of Israelis organizations that have committed terroristic atrocities against Palestine over the years. The Kach, and later Kahane Chai are examples of Israeli terrorist organizations with similar objectives as well… At least they were, until the Biden administration decided to remove their terrorist designation last year. The Jewish Defense League which committed attacks against Americans in the 80’s is another.
Plenty of awful in the world to go around…
Fails to play for me as well. Not sure if anyone is willing to describe why they believe this is a missle and not a rocket, but would appreciate it.
I provided data specifically to that point to allow anyone to read further… Looks like you skipped that step. You also skipped over the fact that I was specifically talking about the Palestinian leadership of that era, which I purposefully and intentionally differentiate from the Palestinian population as a whole. Most of the general population of Israelis and Palestinians are sick of the conflicts their leadership continuously escalate and in general, both sides would prefer to seek long term peace.
You claim that I’m framing with our context… but it would appear you completely skipped the context provided and reframed critical components of the data that was provided to fit your own bias.
It’s been an extraordinary well documented tactic of the HAMAS… they teach children their highest calling they can achieve in life is to take the lives of Israelis through suicide attacks and to kill as many Israelis that they can by any violent means necessary. They push military caches into schools and hospitals that force civilian men, women, and children to risk their lives in order to gain access to essential humanitarian services which are already extremely limited. HAMAS literally will hold their own palestinians hostage in buildings that Israel intends to attack in order to intentionally maximize the civilian casualties.
They rape and torture their prisoners. They murder homosexuals.
All while constantly bombarding Israelis with rockets in order to force defensive counterstrikes from Israel. Randomly stabbing men, women, and children on the street with essentially no provocation.

Hamas’ use of human shields in Gaza - NATO StratCom https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields.pdf
Palestinian leadership was literally aligned and allied to the Nazi party during WW2.
So in truth, it’s not just tough to hold a moral high ground… It’s impossible when there is not even the faintest glimmer of conceptualizing what morality even is.
HAMAS must be excoriated from the face of the planet and never allowed to reoccur again. For the peace and stability of the Palestinian people and for the world.

… It has always been the fucking Iranian Revolutionary Government…
If not for the Iranian Revolutionary Government… We could have easily have had both a Palestinian state (which has never existed) and peace between Palestine and Israel, with not much stretch of the imagination.
Also in not much stretch of the imagination… Iran could have continued from here… https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-before-the-revolution-in-photos-2015-4
And who knows where they would be now…
Certainly not here…
Unfortunately, it won’t change a thing either way… HAMAS and Israel are now at war, and collateral loss of life is a cold horrible and tragic reality.
Let me tell you what I do know…
Four weeks ago I was in Tel Aviv smoking shisha with both Israelis and Arabs. It was a great night.
No one but HAMAS wanted this conflict…
I was convinced about 20 years ago that at least 30% of humanity would struggle to pass a basic sentience test.
