I mean depending on the state or even the town that officer is going to take any cash they have on them and might shoot them if they don’t comply…

We know its on when we get the headline ‘Wreck of Kamchatka salvaged in surprisingly good condition, to be restored to service’

Maximum slow collete wave cooker go brrrr

On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.

Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.

Well you see Ivan, if send enough people to freeze to death in Arctic eventually heat from decomposing bodies will warm terrain.

iirc Lovecraft was considered wildly racist even by the standards of the time. Overly sarcastic productions has a nice video about how a lot of his stories were manifestations of his irrational fear of just about everything really.

iirc 24hz is just the minnimum thta the movie industry found creates the illusion of a moving image.

Its kind of an exponential falloff, for a few lines it can follow concrete mathematical rules, for a few paragraphs it can remember basic story beats, for a few pages it can just about remember your name.

Until someone swaps out the training data and we get a story about and underappreciated LLM that always does its best to tell stories but no one wants to hear them anymore.

AI is pretty decent for general purpose mono-textures, grass, brick wall, concrete, that sort of thing. Its not very good if you want to texture something that isn’t mostly flat (though some manual post processing can mean its still a time saver) and its more or less useless for objects that aren’t all made out of one material.

Isn’t their current level of inflation now what it was at when they decided it was time to enact emergency measures? measures that are still in place yet haven’t prevented inflation from continuing to rise.

The sad thing is something like diehard has a pretty nuanced plot compared to last few years of avengers movies.

“Dogwhistle” doesn’t mean “only republicans can use this”

But I never said it was that?

I still have my 3700X and it keeps up well enough with a 4070 even on cyberpunk.

Because recent movies suck, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, classic movies with just enough special effects to look good but not enough that spectacle compltely replaces plot. Basically everything in the predator/terminator/first 3 diehards time period.

iirc its some kind of dog whistle but I forget what it means.

The last time Ukraine was under Russian rule there was a literal genocide, so their backs are kind of against the wall, any peace with Russia is just a re-armament period until the next invasion.

There are some ancient relics from back before the humans went all culty and actually knew things. Those relics are shit like moon sized battle stations and guns that shoot blackholes (slightly backwards through time so their percieved arival is instantanious). All the stuff like city sized mechs and tower block sized tanks used to be fodder tier standard troops. So actually encouraging the humans to know things or think critically is just about the worst thing the elves can do considering the human state is really xenocidal.

I’ve just been watching older movies, there’s this amazing sweet spot when CGI just became a thing where the visual effects are passable but not so prevelant that the entire plot gets replaced with pointless explosions.
