Holy shit they might as well use their RQ-170 stealth drones like Iran uses their Shahed 136

How are things looking in terms of the US build up for a surprise attack? Does it still benefit Iran to wait for the US to strike first rather than take the initiative and preemptively destroy tons of US aircraft currently sitting out in the open at various air bases within range?

I think maybe they are lamenting that rich "leftists" (neoliberals who are not explicitly, outwardly racist, misogynistic, and queerphobic) have taken control of large social media companies and are imposing advertiser friendly rules on right wing spaces, and they see it as the woke being forced upon them?

Regardless of nuclear war, having a theory of quantum gravity is looking unlikely in this century. The conditions needed to run useful experiments are far beyond the capabilities of human engineering. Without experimental data to constrain the theory, we're going to be perpetually stumped messing about with math and making claims about quantum gravity in universes that are not our own.

The problem is similar in scale to trying to derive quantum field theory from Newtonian physics without having electricity or advanced metallurgy.

Perfect comedic timing that the plane comes to a complete stop just a few seconds after the pilot ejects and suffers permanent, possibly career destroying injury

Were you also blindly parroting the Bush administration's lies about Iraq having WMDs and killing babies in incubators? Or was that one before your time?

Do you have anything of substance to say? Other than the people of Iran deserve to be bombed for being Muslim?

The US and Iran cannot both lose this war, those two things literally cannot be true at once. The US winning entails them gaining a vice grip on the entire Middle East and the total collapse of civil society in Iran. Iran would absolutely not come out of that with a progressive government, we would see the entire country splinter and fall into the hands of warlords.

Iran winning entails the expulsion of the US military from much of the Middle East, and it severely degrades the empire's ability to protect Israel and enable the extermination of the Palestinian people. It is extremely crystal clear that Iran winning is the best outcome for all of humanity.

Also how the fuck did you even come to the conclusion that Iran fighting in this war is theologically motivated after the US started the war by murdering their head of state and hundreds of school children in an unprovoked attack during negotiations?

Yeah but what I mean is are the treatlers largely buying the official story?

They did not necessarily pick him up from the temporary base, right? Could be they landed there after deciding it was a more defensible position and sent helicopters out to grab the pilot

The Isfahan operation was a scandal

I haven't been paying attention at all to US public opinion on the "rescue op", is it widely considered a failure? I thought both chuds and liberals would be screaming victory from the roof tops just for getting the pilot back

Did she spend the whole 3 days on the run in the handcuffs or did she manage to get them off? If she wasn't able to get the cuffs off then this is incredible she made it for so long with only like a minute head start

 

It's happening on every post and I'm wondering if I'm missing a lot of discussion elsewhere due to it.

 

Haven't actively listened since 2020 but I think I remember they had good takes on Trump's murder of Soleimani

 

Am I meant to assume a_i is defined the same way as a_n for each of 1<= i <= n-1 ?

If so, I think I see the proof by induction on n, but the question just says a_i is defined for each 1<=i<=n-1, not that it is defined in that way. Is the question just overly vague or am I missing something obvious?

If only a_n is defined as the greatest integer such that the sum from 0 to n of each a_i/k^i is <=x, then I think there are counterexamples to the hypothesis, right?

Like if x=0.32, k=2, n=2, then a_0=0, and the inequality is satisfied by a_1 = 2 > k-1 = 1 and a_2 = -3 < 0.

I don't even use a VPN. It still allows me to view subreddits and my own account, but this happens when I try to enter a comment section. Fuck reddit, I hardly ever post there these days, but damn it I do need access to the information in their comments sections pretty often for a variety of reasons.

What's more, it's only happening on Firefox. I downloaded and installed chrome and everything is normal on that browser.

Edit: Clearing cookies fixed it. Leave it to reddit to give you a page that's like "lol fuck you we banned you piss off" whenever their site has a bug and shits the bed

 
 

Every laptop I've ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I've ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.

Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It's not just me being bad at computer or something?

 

I also appreciate bumps very much!

Sorry for another repost, comrades. No idea what I would do without my online commie friends as I affectionately describe all of you to the people in my life. Still need help with this one from yesterday, though:

Still job hunting, I can't wait to find myself a new small business tyrant to exploit me various unacceptable ways in return for the ability to live a somewhat more dignified life.

Last one fired me literally within the first month in November after a schedule misunderstanding wherein I missed two shifts because somehow my piece of shit boss had literally just put me on the schedule for the next two weeks, but still expected me to be literally on-call to do my part time job of working the register at a convenience store on days not on the fucking schedule.

I can't drive, and I'm autistic, so this finding a new job thing has been taking a lot longer than I had wished or hoped.

If anyone wants to help me out on this, my cashapp and venmo accounts are both under the handle cosecantphi. DM me for paypal or zelle information. Any little bit is very much appreciated! Bumps too!

 

Literally did it on impulse without even thinking about it so I wouldn't chicken out, so I blurted it out.

I said "I'm bisexual. I like both men and women. No more anti-gay stuff from you, ok?".

He said, "oh go away, you don't know what you like". I think he'll understand eventually, he needs time to think.

EDIT: Showed him this thread.

I said: "Look, this is what I said to you, these are my online friends who are happy for me that I came out as bisexual."

He said: "Oh you don't know what you're talking about, you've never had sex with a man or a woman before, until then you'll never know."

And yeah, I am still holding on to my v-card at 26. I was insecure about that years ago in high school, but I'm honestly glad I've waited to mature first.

 

Like what is the ultimate fate of the voyager probes and others on escape trajectories? My understanding is that space is far too sparse for these things to ever hit anything by coincidence, so their eventual fate is probably to be ejected out of the galaxy at some point.

They are then unlikely to be moving fast enough to actually cross intergalactic distances quickly enough for the expansion of space to not outpace the distance covered, leaving them in this void forever.

How long would they be recognizable as technological objects before the eons worth of stray hydrogen atoms erode everything away?

From where I'm sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can't perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you're just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

 

I'm not at all exaggerating when I say this. The bar is so incredibly, incomprehensibly low everywhere else that I'm about ready to call literally anyone who can join this community, be genuine, and still not get banned an actual saint.

And that's no diss at the admins for being ban happy or whatever, that's literally just how you create an online community full of good people and somehow Hexbear has been the first to realize it
