4·4 days agoSo what are they doing with the data? Is this all being fed into the LLM or image generating AI to create ultra realistic porn? To what end? I don’t see their endgame unless it involves sexbots.
3·6 days agoB.C. copper mines should naturally only be called Ea Nasir Copper Mines.
This meme template would have worked better if Marge’s hair stuck straight up above the bed.
66·13 days agoDuring the last sale recently I was looking for an open world racing sim. Ended up getting Forza Horizons 5 over Ubisoft’s The Crew 2 because they killed off and removed my copy of The Crew from my library, so they can get fucked.
8·15 days agoI’ve encountered a few roads in my time driving where the speed limit doesn’t match actual driving conditions at all.
I think by now we should have the technology to do statistical analyses on actual road data (currently observed speed vs. speed limit speed) to more accurately assign speed limits that are safe enough that enough people actually follow them.
5·15 days agoNaval invasions are a lot more difficult, armored units aren’t easily transportable, and you still need good beaches as well. Lacking the hard power of an armored push makes assaults difficult in general, soft power can only get you so far.
Controlling the Panama Canal is a crucial lynchpin though as it allows you to easily reinforce a navy on one side with the other without going all the way down past Tierra Del Fuego.
What really bothers me is that when a person is recalled with the payphone, they just let the handset drop and leave an empty tone. This is inconvenient for others who want to use the phone.
This is a pretty non-serious post, I’m not actually advocating an invasion all the way down to Panama. This is video game logic.
Increased coastlines do increase the “front” but holding territory grants victory points, but not the sea. Coastal fortifications can prevent Marine landings though, but you’d need substantially less manpower to defend compared to a land border.
I don’t think the locations are all correct.
1st: Honolulu, Hawaii
2nd: Lake Palanskoye, Kamchatka Peninsula, Russian Federation
3rd: Wheeler Ridge, California
4th: Mount St. Helens, Washington State
5th: Mount Meru, Tanzania
6th: Salt Lake City, Utah
7th: Meseta de Somuncura, Patagonia, Argentina
8th: Wellington, New Zealand
I usually can do stereograms pretty well but for some reason I had to tilt my phone about 10° counter-clockwise for the stereo images to align to get the 3D effect.
Like this? Unrelated but similar in concept.

This is in contrast to it’s arch-nemesis agency, the Defamation League (DL). When those two organizations collide, it results in a catastrophic explosion like matter-antimatter.
3·28 days agoInteresting. It has structure. Magnetic phenomenon perhaps?
What a waste.
