Oh my goodness. I wanted to let our grandson enjoy his birthday week without having to work at our house. He was hesitant but I told him we had everything under control. Today, I grabbed the, too tall for me battery weedeater, and attacked the weeds around our raspberry patch like they were weasley politicians. I worked until both batteries were depleted and my arms felt like jello. What started out as a smaller project just kept getting bigger and bigger. This happens to me sometimes because I can't leave well enough, well enough. Summer supervised the work and now she is directing the rest period. I was going to resume when the batteries charged, but maybe not. Tomorrow, is install the new front door day and I will need steady arms. #Summer

my lib friends are going apeshit over late show being canceled, "its the top rated late night show!" I am sure you're right there are multiple reasons for the cancelation but they probably had an absolute financial performance number that even as the "top show" it wasn't cutting it.
@jeremiah Yeah, a TYT commenter said this and I think it's accurate: "Got cancelled because 2 million viewers is basically less than what YouTube creators get and they do it without all the promotion, production, writers or the big staff."
I think that's a big part of it, but I think it's also not quite the impact these people and programs had in the 2000s.
To mention The Mentor briefly: Stewart's 2004 crossfire appearance was era-defining, his return and podcast together are barely noticed by critics, and I've not heard someone start a sentence with, "Jon Stewart said" since before 2015.
@istvan The Late Show and The Tonight Show are different programs. Colbert replaced Letterman on the Late Show.
I don't think it was the same audience all the way through (for any long running late night shows) precisely because of the changes in culture, host, etc. The Tonight Show been on TV for about 70 years with other hosts, including Conan O'Brien through the current host, Jimmy Fallon.
We can see an analog of this in The Daily Show that lost a lot of its viewership when Trevor Noah took the chair.
@verita84 @istvan I saw him when he followed The Daily Show, which I occasionally watched with friends. I didn't think too highly of him, since (at that time), his running gag was about Bill O'Reilly.
@verita84 @istvan that's the one. I seem to remember The Daily Show spinning out a bunch of redundant news commentary shows. There was a show with a chick, too.

I thought about doing a preliminary half year games of the year roundup but man it's not a huge list so far: Lies of P: Overture (A fucking DLC) AI Limit (A second fucking Soulslike lol you guys are gonna run me out of town at this rate) Hundred Line Tetris TGM4 Dead or Alive: Xtreme Venus Vacation Gal Guardians 2 (scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel)
It's probably going to be very hard to argue COE33 escapes the list but I have yet to actually play it. SURELY it's good, right? I've seen enough of the writing and presentation to know both of those are really good. Maybe COE33 runs away with it?
The main point is that the strongest release with fewest weaknesses I have on this list is a DLC. I don't supposed anyone is hiding a Gravity Circuit tier indie game in their back pocket?
The Dead or Alive game cannot actually be bought. It's region locked. Maybe a brownoid like you can access it. Plus it's just a photo taking game anyway so it's probably not even close to lewd enough or thrilling enough for normal people or even you.
Gal Guardians 2 is... it's tough to recommend but also tough to say anything bad about. The entire thing feels like they had no clue what the final game design was going to be like until probably a couple weeks prior to release. That said, it's Inti Creates, they have been doing this since the GBA era and while they have had to be whacked with a newspaper to stop being stupid MANY times they know what they're doing generally, so the game itself is good and if nothing else it's a solid Metroidvania that gives you Black Panther about halfway through and makes it even more absurdly OP.
So you have to pirate the first and the second is buy on sale except if your tolerance levels consider that stuff perfectly fine to deal with.
I gave Citadel 1 a shot and I will give it to you: This is Hideous Destructor but only the good, cool, fun parts minus the gay slow autism impenetrable bullshit. Which is high praise to all of the two people who played HD. Great shooting.
But what I cannot get over is this is a deeply UGLY fucking game. The only thing that doesn't look ugly are the crying anime girl half-face gibs, which means the ugliness is both physical and spiritual. And also aural, those death screams feel like retarded comedy sound effects. I can't even be aroused looking down in such an unsexy state of mind. I will try the second one but I honestly don't think it can make the list.

I think the real precedent isn’t the Nazis but Stalin’s brutal ethnic deportations after WW2, which killed at least hundreds of thousands, in some cases the majority of the deported group.
Stalin did. Forced population transfers were a favored tactic. Ukraine hasn't forgotten about the forced transfer of the Crimean Tatars. Pre-WWII, many thousands of Jews were deported to Siberia from e.g. Lithuania and Belarus. Post-WWII there were different forced transfers in different directions. It goes without saying that this killed people, a lot of people.
You underestimate the “can do spirit” of Americans, perhaps. Efficient disposal solutions will likely become quickly necessary just to cover up the nuisance and bother. I doubt many supporters of the regime have serious qualms about this. It will be cheap, politically.
I think asking “how do you know that?” whenever people try to handwave things away.
This will, of course, inevitably piss off the person you’re talking to, both because the dismissive ones don’t care enough to find out and because people don’t like their knowledge or faith being challenged, but you’re not talking to them. You’re talking to the audience, and planting that seed of doubt. How DO you know what’s happening if there are no records, and what does that mean?
I really fear that as a society we’ve slid so fast into mass deportations that mass graves wouldn’t be that shocking.
And I’m not talking about executions, I mean the mass graves that we hear about at Irish or Canadian orphanages. People are gonna die, especially if you concentrate them in a disease-ridden marsh. Then what?
You're right, it's simply not possible to deport millions of people. When the logistics of trying to move that many people starts to break down, things get really dark.
That's how concentration camps become death camps.
Hitler went after wealthy Jewish people, taking everything they owned, right down to their gold fillings. If the rich think Trump wouldn't go after them, they're fooling themselves. He has no loyalty but expects it in return. On any given day Trump would trade Don Jr. for a bucket of KFC.
This would be on a similar scale as the deportations and transports to concentration camps in Nazi Germany (some 4 million people interred in total, in a population of 80 million).
This was logistically a huge task and stretched the system and it only worked because it didn't matter how the people were treated or if they died during transport or in the camps from disease and starvation (I don't mean extermination camps here).
It was Timothy Snyder's book "Black Earth" that opened my eyes to the reality that deporting people at scale is impossible, that keeping people alive in captivity is difficult and expensive, and that it was incompetence in addition to evil which caused the Nazi concentration camps to become death camps. I have these screenshots from the ebook that I keep on my phone so that I can share them when the topic comes up. (These screenshots are collages combining different passages).
Was done in Pomerania. Was done in east Prussia. Was done in Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Was done in Moscow. Was done in Ukraine. If you include Refugees, it's done in every other war. Syria, Afghanistan, Irak, Central African Republic, Ukraine, the list goes on and on. Even constructing whole new cities is certainly possible. Takes some time, but is possible. Look at the Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank.

Im trying to reinstall cachyos using the iso on the usb like ive done in the past but the iso and the ventoy usb its on dont show up as options, theres only cachyos (alresdy installed) and snapshots as the options
I guess it doesnt detect a nonventoy (used impression) usb with the iso written to it either? A bit confused I dont mind limine but It not being able to boot from a recovery usb is a bit of an issue
NVM it did end up working off impressions and not ventoy? I think it ended up detecting my ssd which also has ventoy installed in the boot manager too, the name wasnt there before, odd
Like limine itself has no option for it, but bios wasnt showing one for my ssd or usb either, now it is after restarting a few times
To boot from external drives, you need to open your UEFI boot menu (press F11 or something like that at boot, it differs for each manufacturer). Limine is the loader installed on your hard drive that comes with your OS, it is for loading that OS.
Yep very odd it wasn't showing my drives, now it is and ventoy works, I unplugged and plugged them while restarting a fee times, guess it was just some weird error, still doesn't show up in limine itself but im assuming that its not supposed to

Take illegal immigration—remember the 10,000 daily illegal entries under Biden? Recall the only solution was supposedly “comprehensive immigration reform”—a euphemism for mass amnesties. Now, there is no such thing as daily new illegal immigration. It simply disappeared with common-sense enforcement of existing immigration laws—and a new president.

The Bill Barr (and his father’s) connection to Epstein is overlooked. Barr was successful in jailing Epstein, but stabbed Trump in the back soon after the 2020 election was stolen.

Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza with entire towns and suburbs - once home to tens of thousands- levelled in the past few weeks Large swathes caused by planned demolitions, to already damaged buildings and ones that appeared largely intact bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-3…
Investigation by BBC Verify using satellite images and verified footage to show the extent of destruction in Gaza, where the Israeli military have carried out demolitions to raze entire towns and suburbs
People around the world call for massive mobilization this Sunday the 20th of July, to denounce the severe famine and forced starvation imposed by the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip amid the brutal genocide.
The director of the Palestinian NGOs Network, Amjad Shawa, described the reports of starving people arriving at Gaza hospitals as evidence of the failure of the so-called American aid centers (GHF) to meet humanitarian needs while criticizing it for serving Israel’s "political-military agenda" calling the centers a "mechanism for killing".
“..Everything is run out,” Shawa continues to explain how desperate Palestinians are forced to make dangerous journeys to its distribution hub where many have been killed.
The "anti-gluttony door" is found within the Alcobaça Monastery in Portugal. The door was designed to be so narrow (around 12.5 inches wide) that monks who had gained too much weight due to overeating would be unable to pass through it to access the kitchen for food.
The story goes back to the middle ages, where this door stood a doorway that offered no forgiveness for excess. It did not speak, nor did it judge—it simply measured: two meters tall and only 32cm wide. Known as the “fat friar’s door,” it was situated between the kitchen and the dining hall, silently enforcing the discipline that a monk didn't eat if he couldn’t fit through it.
