It would also mean “firing” all those who are not deemed necessary for profit generation.

Buy up as much of the real estate in my city as I can/finance the construction of new, Soviet style apartment blocs, rent it out for maintenance prices, crash my local real estate market.

Pairing camouflage with probably the most visible clothing item possible is certainly a choice.

The worst aspect about Tucker Carlson is that he’s actually intelligent. Compared to, say, Hegseth, Carlson is able to appeal to people beyond complete hogs.

Das mit der freien Presse ist spätestens seit der causa Hüsseyin Dogru einfach nur ein kompletter Witz. Aber ja, technisch gesehen sind du, ich und Friede Springer absolut gleichberechtigt bezüglich dessen, was wir in unseren Tageszeitungen veröffentlichen.

YouTubers who did shit like sneaking into a CIA base in the Australian outback, travelling to the DPRK for haircuts, smuggling a pro-Palestinian sculpture into an art expo, showering with a whistleblower who blew the lid on Australian war criminals, stuff like that. Always accompanied with the appropriate political commentary, of course.

I mean, a proper wheel is worth around a thousand bucks and stores very well, in fact, it might increase in value due to further aging.

I recently tried using an LLM to find out whether a niche issue in my thesis had already been discussed in the literature. I fed the LLM extremely specific prompts, specific enough, in fact, that it could actually cough up a result that looked similar enough to my problem that I first thought that it had actually found literature on my question. The problem: the literature either did not exist, even though the authors it was attributed to are contributors to my field, or it does exist but does not contain the answer the LLM gave. I know because I had read literally every paper the LLM spat out that actually exists. These machines are ok at some simple tasks like giving a general overview over the current literature in a field, but miserably fail anything more specific than that.

I also find it funny that during the protests in january and february, the IRGC violently suppressing demonstrations and killing protesters was treated as a transgression that merits regime change but now that Israel has done it, the attitude towards it is far more lax.

‘Inconsistent with international law’ is one of the euphemisms of all time.

You had a Nazi tattoo?

 

Since October 7th, my mother has on multiple occasions brought up the claim that resistance fighters supposedly r*ped and murdered civilians, in particular women and girls, on October 7th, filmed the process, and then uploaded the footage to the victim’s Facebook profiles. The ludicrous logistics of this claim aside: has anybody here ever heard of this particular piece of hasbara? Because the only person I ever heard make that claim is my mother and I would at least like to know where she got her brain worms from.

 

Short version: So, the gist of this is that I want to truncate list by numerical value and can't seem to do it. I've been looking for solutions by myself for a bit, but since this project is a bit time sensitive and I am a total noob, I've come to you for help.

Long version: I have a data set from a poll, in which answers are coded by 1, 2, ..., 7, 99 with 99 being the value assinged to people who did not answer a particular question. The data was provided as a .csv file, from which I was able to extract the answers in form of a list of the form

data = [ [ 2.0, 3.0, ...] ],

thus a list, which contains the possible values as floats within a list. To solve this problem, I tried to remove the undesired 99 values using the list.remove command, however, since data is a list within a list, I can't use that command and for some reason, I can't use *data.remove(99.0) either, as starred expressions are not allowed. Any ideas how to either turn data into something like

data = [ 2.0, 3.0, ...]

so the list.remove command can do its magic or how to truncate data as it is?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Thank you, Hexbear, for being a helpful community even to total scrubs who might ask redundant questions that can be solved by a quick google search!

 

Seriously, if you can, just do it. I decided to work on my hip mobility and splits after a very long time and my god, I feel so much better. It relieved pain in my legs, back and a little bit of my desk-borne headache. If you have trouble getting started, find one particular stretch you would like to be able to do, preferably some tangible goal like a full split, and hyper focus on that.

 

More precisely, I remember reading that the Red Army had issued the death penalty for r*pists in its own ranks and would like an academic/“serious” source to corroborate this and possibly even how rigorously this was enforced. Thanks!

 

To clarify, this is about Lebanon, but the UNSC resolution that the US blocked yesterday isn’t even mentioned. xi-plz

 

Smdh my dick head

 

Just doing research over here. Also by "good", I mean quotable in an academic context.

 

Most of the historic record of the GDR has been set by FRG historians running victory laps and is based on anecdotal evidence at best, mythology at worst. A lot of people also attempt to equate the GDR with the third Reich (which is insane to begin with, but that's what people are taught here).

Preferred languages would be German and English. I could make Russian work, but not very well.

Edit: I know about John Green.

 

According to her it was only used a handful of times and rinsed thoroughly. Which begs the question WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

 

Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like 90% of the work) but as I don't see them quite as often and I would like to be a little more self-sufficient this time around, I implore thee, Linux users of Hexbear. So here are some general questions:

  1. Which distribution is right for me?

I have some experience with MINT and kubuntu. I really liked the KDE environment of kubuntu and generally preferred it to MINT. My friend uses archlinux, but they also warned me that arch requires a bit of expertise and isn't necessarily user firendly. It looked really cool, though. I am willing to learn, but I generally suck with computers. I will mostly use my PC for basic programming tasks and data analysis (mostly python using jupyter, but I would like to learn some basics in C++), similar work related tasks (using TeX-Studio, the pdf editing functions of programs like okular, Libre office on rare occasions etc.) and the occasional Minecraft session.

  1. Where can I find useful resources for learning about a given distribution?

Keep in mind that I suck absolute shit at computers. I know how to access/use the basic functions of the terminal and how to superficially navigate the PC, but anything beyond that is magic to me.

  1. Y'all got any good wallpapers?

A FALGSC themed wallpaper that doesn't burn your eyes out due to being perdominantly red would be cool.

 

Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?
