Hospitals have special protection under the rules of war. Why are they in the crosshairs in Gaza?
  • I think Hummus didn't go to war school. They're just regular folk that have been pissed off too much and now want some payback. They're evil and such, they just happen to know nothing about rules of war.

    Until recently I, myself a total war removed, did not know that you couldn't use certain weapons. Like nuklier weapons seem generally not an option since the attacker can't even fly away fast enough to leave unscathed. But cluster munitions sound like a reasonable thing to use if you want the best chance at hitting something. However that's illegal to use for whatever reason. But again hummus would use those in a heart beat if they could. What about really powerful lasers, yeah those are illegal too. But for very little money they could be using them to blind the opponent from great distances. Koreans used powerful green lasers to blind security cameras during their protests. And now ruzzia seems to really want to drop a nuke somewhere. Like that's gonna help end the war. Instead doing something like that would force the hand of the US to take the war to moscow in a really shock and awesome fashion. I would expect for absolutely no building to be standing there in just a few hours of constant barrage.

    Anyway, just to summarize, hummus has no clue what rules there are about war. And they probably don't care from what we can tell so far.

  • Something almost exactly like that happened to me. I bought a house so my money wouldn't be stagnant and didn't wanna live away from my parents yet so I rented it. They totally fucked up everything in it.

  • I got my ballot this Monday and half of the spots to be voted on had only one candidate.... maybe remove that shit from the ballot and add things like..."would you like Toyota to know where you are when you send emails about your period?" That would be useful.

  • What do ruzzians do when they know they need to loose a few pounds? They go to war of course! Did you know that a bullet hole can make you loose anywhere between one and fifty pounds? And that's not including the actual brass or lead. Larger motion tends to remove pounds fast! Way fast. Many of the same ruzzians will start with just one and then gather a bunch of weight loss really quickly. Others like to get the one shot and gradually, over a period of several months loose a lot of weight. Like a lot. Some are not even flesh and bones, some are just bones.

  • Biden Wants Arms Deals With Israel to Be Done in Complete Secrecy, Without Congress
  • Biden is president. Things went my way. But let's imagine that this was how you got lunch.

    Hmm, Josh! I want a hamburger!... okay buddy I promise I'll bring you a hamburger. I'm just going to be your food delegate in the food acquisition team.

    Josh! I want a salad! .. and I want a spoon full of extra virgin olive oil!. Josh I want an apple! Hey Josh can I get some Doritos crushed in a bowl and mixed with jalapeno and chicken nuggets!

    Then Josh goes to the big food acquisition meeting... My team wants a spoon full of extra virgin olive oil!

    Then you wait half an hour and you get a turkey sandwich but you're vegan so you eat the three onion rings.

    70 percent of the office was vegan too, but only 5 of the food delegates were vegan. The other 20 were old timers that have been ordering the food for the past seven years. They like turkey sandwiches. So you get turkey sandwich.

    I hope you enjoy your turkey sandwich 🥪. 😂 LOL. At least it wasn't a lump of lard with a tupee.

  • MS Edge browser wants really hard to stay
  • You know, there was a time when people used to go to sears for the good stuff and to Kmart too. Then they screwed up big enough among their competition and now there may be like one or two of those places still open somewhere behind a MacDonalds on a refurbished MatCo truck that used to be a Taco truck too.

    I can't wait for the day Microsoft is finally just some shitty ass UPS truck painted over with their logo still showing a little and three guys in it repairing the last known laptops to ever run windows. I'd adopt a dog just to walk him by and let him pee on the tires.

    Microsoft, you've done everyone wrong too many times one last time.

  • They used reddit because it has corraled dumb users. Users a no longer around anywhere else in the Internet, just here on social media. And yes, what better place to find dumb users than on reddit!

Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

    Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

    If reddit banned you permanently, do you still have the right to be forgotten?

    I write this because I have several accounts on Reddit and I really want them deleted but I can't delete them now that I'm permanently banned. I can still go into Reddit and browse. How does that even make sense?

    3D stereography adapter

    Check this out. I spent a couple of weekends designing an adapter for a Canon 40mm lens that I have. The stereography lens has a 52mm thread so you can adapt it to other lenses. Today I opened a simple PayPal store with payhip to see if I can start my way into something interesting. I'll probably end up with just five bucks in my pocket but it would be pretty cool to actually sell a product of my own. So anyway, if you got ideas for other thread sizes I could make it happen. I'm thinking up other options too.

    A bunch of automated cars appearently blocked traffic somewhere.
    laserdisc.party Mr. Q The Pizza Demon (@radicalrobit@laserdisc.party)

    in news of how self driving AI will solve traffic congestion, 10 automated cars in san francisco all froze at a busy 4 way intersection last night because of a nearby concert overloading the local cellular system. this happened a day after california decided to allow these fucking companies to run ...

    According to this news, automated cars suck just as much as normal cars suck:

    Attached: 4 images The #stereoscope #photos are just wild. This camera is almost 10 years old and it's a great setup. I bet you can make a stereoscope out of cardboard got glued together. Just steer the mirrors using some tape and you're on your way. The biggest problem today was shooting against t...

    Unfortunately I can't repost here because there's no option to reduce the photo size. So I put a link to my mastodon. Appearently you can buy these things from eBay and Amazon but I made my own for a few bucks and a 3d printer. The results are fun lomo 3D. Well not really that lomo at all actually. Pretty cool photos in my opinion.

    What is your favorite password manager?

    I started digging into opensource password managers and found that they all suck major ball sack. I ended up picking nothing. My two runner-ups were bitwarden. It works on Linux, Android, whatever apple's shit runs on, and even runs on PC's with the OS that you usually delete first thing. But the major drawback is that I can't trust it. It's got a "premium" version, and that has always meant a slow steady spiral into "you must pay now that we have you by the balls" situation. Another drawback is that it's centralized, kill the company and so go your passwords I suppose.

    The other runner up is called liso. This one comes with two major drawbacks. One is that is browser only so far. The other one is that it doesn't work on Linux yet. Such a shit shit option. Everything else out there wants you to pay for encryption.

    I did end up learning about pass on Linux. It creates encrypted passwords and there's some compatibility with guis and maybe available on Android??? Big question mark. I've tried nothing yet. My password list seems to grow daily.

    So what's your favorite one?
