As a kiwi, I’m sorry you guys only have a binary choice.

My 2 cents without really knowing much: much:

Harris- only good by comparison Won’t make the major changes necessary not very funny

Trump- Orange Hilarious Has some good ideas on bringing jobs back

Is the direction of rotation in the room with us right now?

an active, intentionally orchestrated attempt by Trump and his supporters to violently overturn the results of our Presidential election was “basically the same thing lol” as a bunch of people who were protesting police violence and racism.

Yes, that’s exactly what I said. -_-

I get your /s but I don’t think anyone should be dying in a protest, regardless of how small that number is relatively speaking.

Sounds exactly like CNN’s headline “fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting” after the George Floyd protests where like, 30 people died.

You might like this one too where I gave an explanation on what happens at parties:

Do you want to know how old I am, or which aristocrats I’ve eaten 😘

It’s personal preference, but basically edge limits that increase over time, like at 15 you’re looking at ±6 months, at 20 it might be + or - 1 or 2 years. At 30 you’re probably at looking at 5 years either side of 30.

Once you hit 500 the attraction window is so large it becomes mostly irrelevant, and you’re judging more on aristocrical lineage and/or aristocrical diet.

It’s only a few more years til 1000 (which usually turns out to be a very dull party with no surprise guests) and by that point you’re lucky to find anyone attractive.

There’s obviously the old ‘hurr durr he’s over 2000 so he must be gay now’ stereotype, but as far as I can tell, attraction isn’t cyclical.

Hope that helps!

Was going to say that… the headline is missing

" 's right to exist "

Wait, what happened to f-droid??

Semi-permanently, otherwise known as permanently until shit breaks catastrophically (in the IT world at least).

Obviously you’re going to need to set up a cordon. No one gets in. Limit the food supply.

This thing is cunning so we can assume that it knows what’s going on. So actions need to be coordinated and rapid. Use satellite and IR drones to track the thing’s location.

It’s likely that live bait is required, so a few death-row inmates get to draw straws. Stick them in cages around the perimeter of the thing’s active hunting area.

It’s cunning, so it knows that the cages are traps. … But I’m cunning too.

Now that the creeper has determined that it is in an area that is monitored, and it’s being hunted, it will try to escape. We let it escape. Then we move the cages a few hundred miles out.

The creeper escapes again. A show is made, jets flying over etc. We move the cages.

Repeated enough, the creeper ends up in Canada or Mexico, and voila! Problem solved!

…well… problem moved to someone else!

I’m not talking about exchange to premises, this is between ISPs and whoever is routing between cities and countries. Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house, but there’s the whole internet backbone that ISPs hook into that requires maintenance.

Refresh our memories, what powers did this one have? I remember the chick running it over with her car a bunch of times and that’s about it from the movie.

because they’d rather have all those CDNs pay them for using their fibre than not use their fibre and make things more efficient.

Ah. I see. That’s what’s going on.

Is that what is really going on here??

Hmm… yes actually, those are good points…

I got the numbers: https://wachee.co/blog/internet-traffic-used-by-streaming-services/

Streaming in general is over half of internet traffic, while (in the US) Netflix alone is 30% of all traffic.

I get where you’re coming from, but there is significant maintenance required. Cables and equipment break or need upgrading, routes get changed, loads change over time in different areas due to population and service movement…

We are likely going to see more of this kind of thing.

Services like Twitch, Netflix, etc have had a long time of using the pipes for low or no cost, and contributing nothing to the network except congestion.

No one expects the roads to be maintained for free, and for businesses that use the roads, they gotta pay.

EDIT: I retract my statement, barsoap gave a pretty detailed explanation of what’s going on here.

I don’t think this is solvable… Unless general images of children are excluded from the training data, which is probably a good idea.
