Oh shit temu IDF Hasan Piker just dropped

My thought recently has been:

1. The universe is physical, ie made of material stuff. There is just stuff and the forces between stuff

2. Stuff is governed by physical laws

3. The interractions between things are relatively simple, but get much more complex and seemingly ramdom the more stuff you add

4. This seeming randomness is not true randomness because the interractions between things are governed by predictable rules

5. We are made of stuff, down to the neurons in our brains

6. Our actions and thoughts are ultimately directly caused by neuronal activity that is (in theory) predictable and governed by laws

7. Free will and individuality aren’t “real” in the way people typically mean. Our actions are determined entirely by the particles in our system interracting with the constituent parts of other systems.

My conclusion: this doesn’t matter on a practical level. We still experience free will and individuality. But those things are illusions caused by the interractions of many complex systems.

Yeah it’s a visual metaphor - the emptiness of his bowels = the concept of zero shit in bowels

Yeah líng 零 is pretty annoying as a learner of the language.

The top character is yŭ 雨 which means rain. Confusingly, this is the semantic component - the part that contains the meaning of the character. Explained below.

The bottom character líng 令 means order/command as a noun and verb. This doesn’t add meaning, it is the phonetic component: basically a pronunciation cue.

It originally meant “light rain”/“falling in drops, like rain”, actually. It began being used to mean “fragments” or “leftover part”, then as “remainder” in the mathematical sense. Then, eventually, to mean 0. Another form of líng is 霝 which means raindrops. It has 3 kŏu 口 (“mouth”) characters on the bottom to visually represent drops.

So, like a lot of Chinese characters, it really only makes sense when you understand the etymology - and even then it’s kind of a stretch

True. The colonel is not quite at indian levels of flavor town, but still pretty good tbh

Good point! Did add one.

Just made indian style (not british style) tikka masala. Let’s count em:

Just for the oil (throw away after oil’s hot):

1. cinnamon stick

2. cardamom pods

3. bay leaf

Marinade for chicken + the tikka “gravy”

4. ginger

5. garlic

6. chili powder

7. fenugreek

8. coriander seed powder

9. cumin powder

10. turmeric

11. Edit: a serrano chili

12. garam masala

11 spices + a serrano pepper. But garam masala has like 10 spices in it

Regarding ballistics evidence, I am talking about one very specific thing that they have explicitly refused to comment on: whether he actually shot that guy. Even in the charging documents, about him discharging a firearm in the commission of a violent attmepted crime or whatever it’s called, they still don’t say that he discharged it at the ss officer.

I take your point, but I am not wildly speculating. Them witholding evidence in a very specific way is itself evidence as it implies a possibility (that the shotgun was not fired at the ss officer).

I’m not yet saying that certainly didn’t happen, just that we’re hearing different things from different sources who were present, the charging docs, etc. that do not line up in the way you expect.

That opens the door for questions around what really went down. Nothing definitive, but it raises questions.

I don’t “know” for certain yet. But they have been really cagey about even answering whether Allen fired any shots. And the one guy they originally reported him as having shot with buckshot to the chest, now they can’t determine whether that was actually friendly fire.

These guys were all packing pistols. Iirc from photos there were some guys with ARs.

Do you think you could easily identify the effects of a shotgun firing buckshot at relatively close range from that of a pistol? I bet you could. It’s really easy. Bunch of little holes creating 1 really big hole if close enough? Shotgun. 1 small hole? Pistol/rifle.

I’m not usually in on conspiracies, but this one really doesn’t add up. Seems reeeeal weird to say the least.

Apparently they don’t actually have any proof the guy fired a gun (there was a spent shell in the shotgun, but the admin has said the shot ss officer was possibly friendly fire? You’d think they could tell a shotgun in bulletproof plate from 9mm impact…)

We don’t have a name on the ss officer that was shot or any evidence he was shot at all.

Response to move trump was real slow despite having had 2 prior assassination attempts made.

I wonder if it’s a regional thing? I’ve only ever heard it in movies or older TV shows. Where I live people are much more likely to just say “crippled” or describe someone as walking with a limp.

I was confused when I saw Pulp Fiction as a kid because I was like “why is this handicapped guy in a leather suit and what does him being hadicapped have to do with his apparent hobbies” lol. But like I said, never really heard it used in other contexts.

Gimp is really just a rare/archaic ableist slur anyway - like to refer to someone with a limp or otherwise a leg/lack of a leg that impedes their gait. I’ve never heard it used in my life.

The sexual usage is from gay bdsm subculture in the 70s that the large majority of ppl who are aware of it are only aware because of Pulp Fiction.

My vote is for pimp

This is what I ended up doing, and it works great. I knew about aliases, but didn’t really use them at all - I didn’t know about bash functions though.

So now I have a few functions in .bashrc for short things and am just aliasing shell scripts for easy access to more complex tbings I don’t want cluttering the file

Oooh ty that makes a lot of sense. I was unaware of that functionality.

This should be the next step for me. When you do aliased commands, can they take arguments? Like to download a playlist with yt-dlp, could i do download-playlist [URL]?

It’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new

Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it’d be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like… I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are

Can I share over usenet without having to port forward? My ISP doesn’t allow port forwarding. I’ve been able to download from usenet, but don’t really want to if I can’t also share.

NVM was confusing it with soulseek
