you know they deliver, right?

you'd hope so, but, i know some actual incurable tankies irl and this is how they talk.

"The Grayzone", Jimmy Dore, Scott Ritter, etc can seriously rot the brain.

it's normal for unstressed short vowels in English to all come out as a "schwa", which the most common phoneme of the language.

Fabric Bellard's body of work is fairly strong evidence for time travel having happened already.

Or just genius.

They would be liable to be sued for massive amounts for breach of contract of they just shut it off normally. The pipe destruction got them off that hook.

(i'm personally not 100% sure who did it, but there were realistic reasons for Russia to do it)

I see you post a lot, and it's normally fine, never an apocalyptically bad take like this before. So I hope you'll take this well.

The "West Taiwan" meme and the oft repeated thing about the constitution of the RoC still claiming the mainland is dumb. It's only because the CCP threatens immediate war - if Taipei changes their constitution to reflect post-1949 reality, that would be considered "a declaration of independence" and trigger a missile barrage.

Only about 2% of people in Taiwan identify as Chinese, and I can guarantee they're almost all old as rocks, maybe a lot of them went to school when schooling was still in Japanese. The vast majority of citizens identify as Taiwanese, the country has NO intent to "reconquer the mainland".

You can actually still find moss-covered old fortifications in the hills above Taipei with slogans like that, but they were built no later than the 50s, in the White Terror era.

Please let this "West Taiwan / Best China" stuff die.

this is why h264ify is a pre-installed extension in RPiOS' builds of browsers.

made sense, until the Pi 5 dropped h264 hw decode. still waiting for a good explanation of that.

It's a good thing projects like Armbian are steadily improving support for Rockchip-based SBCs, to open up the market beyond Raspberry.
