No one is talking about immigration and customs enforcement here.

Are we sure she wasn't working with ICE before this photo was taken?

You like math jokes and guys with fast cars? Well, you're in luck because I drive a bmw √-64

Edit: I know nothing about cars. Don't judge me.

Weird. My wget gives full resolution. No redirect options or anything. Only difference is the IP resolve for you is in Korea and mine is in the US. Likely just closest server resolve.

Try curl with -L set?

Or I'd be curious if something like gallery-dl resolves the image in finding the higher resolution and what the difference is if it does.

Maybe it's a DNS issue if not a redirect issue.

My guess is DNS. Try with another provider?

I can relate. I shave in the shower. Prevents the ingrown hairs I get with my facial hair type. It's an additional struggle though when I'm IN the shower deciding if I feel like shaving in addition to washing myself. It's for some reason an additional step once I'm in the shower. Not sure why.

In Korea almost all homes have heated floors and the entire bathroom is basically treated like a shower. Which I like in some ways. But I really think they should more directly separate the toilet from the design in a separate closed off area. Most of the time it's just a small divider between the showering area and the sink toilet.

But I guess the point of my comment is that the heated floors are awesome and basically standard. Where as in the US that's a luxury and something you have to specifically design into the bathroom. It really avoids that nasty feeling of stepping onto a cold floor. No mat required.

The crossover though is pretty common. There's always money in the banana stand.

Would love an "explain like I minored in Maths"

Doesn't need to be dumbed down too much. Maybe someone wants to explain it. I understand the basics of Chaos.

Or just on a scale of how fucked is modern encryption on a scale from 1-10.

Which part? The ratio implied or Israel killing its own soldiers and civilians?

Unfortunately, Israel did not allow investigation by third parties on October 7th.

Israel has admitted to the Hannibal Directive being issued on that day. That day will remain unclear for the rest of time. But the party that made that so was also the party that issued a policy that allowed for specifically targeting Israelis if they were at risk of capture.

The same party that went onto use the attack as justification for two years of genocide.

The same party that was offered full hostage transfer in October 2023 for the transfer of preexisting Palestinian hostages and not attacking Gaza. Instead of getting their people back. They killed hundreds of thousands in response.

Seems like they might not care about their own people either.

Hyperbolic statements like the OOPs are spoken in frustration because they know these facts. They make counter extremes to make a point about the narrative that everyone is told to believe. Do I do that? No, but I understand that human emotion of some random poster and don't hold them to the same requirement of evidence that I would an apartheid state. I give their statement charity and make a conclusion on it based on the frustration and emotions they feel.

We have no idea the ratio of deaths caused by Israel that day. But the narrative and media place all trust and charity towards the country that has proven time and time again to lie about everything in order to justify their apartheid and genocide.

The criticism and "good faith" should not be given to the apartheid state. That's the reason for these types of understandably frustrated statements.

The idea is that all that critize Israel use perfect evidence and perfect morality and charity when doing so. But Israel and the media that has supported its genocide can talk about "babies in ovens" two years later and still have that lie believed.

Your criticism is not without context. And everyone here (I hope) understands the above that I have explained.

But we need a long multiple paragraph comment to explain that. When you hear "October 7th" you already have chapters worth of Israeli propaganda giving you context to justify their genocide.

So, no, it's not bullshit. It may not be a precise statement but it's definitely accurate.

Ok. Making this a text post. But if you just want to hear song here it is.

https://youtu.be/DUDtFdnn9oQ

Ok. Hear me out. Some context first. Guthrie grew up without cars primarily (given Oklahoma at the time); and his parents likely being one of the many in that time that hated cars taking over their streets; and most of all polluting the environment with their noise; he likely grew up experiencing that transition and also his parents likely criticism of it. Ok, bad run on sentence but that's his basic background.

I think even we today take for granted how peaceful, calm, and better a world is without cars. Guthrie apparently wrote this song for an album for kids. But given his always "tongue in cheek" style and very strong left leaning political views. I think this song is literally mocking (1) the kids of rich "well off" people from Guthrie's generation that were using cars to 'show off' and (2) the obsolute absurdity of anyone thinking the car farts were cool.

Just wondering if anyone listened to this song and thought the same. I can't find anyone actually taking this song seriously since it was written. But Guthrie has other songs written for children that people have taken double meaning from.

I was convinced of this by the time I heard him make the horn sound of the car. Maybe listen to other Guthrie songs. But that almost "dying/obnoxious" noise he made was telling.

I know people joke around about this a lot. But I was blown away by a recent switch to I did from using cv2 with python to using cv2 with C++.

I had literally hundreds of thousands of images to analyze for a dataset. My python script would have taken 12 hours.

I ported it to C++ and it literally destroyed it in 20 minutes.

I'm sure I was doing something that really wasn't optimized well for python. I know somewhere in the backend it probably was using a completely different library with multi thread optimization. Or maybe turbojpg is just garbage in python. I'm still not even sure what the bottleneck was. I don't know enough to really explain why.

But holy shit. I never had that much of a performance difference in such a simple task.

Was very impressed.

Landlord said to me "property tax has gone up. This is my only form of income. Will need to increase rent"

Told him "yeah, everything has gone up and my paycheck is still the same".

Like, these types of relationships are so parasitic. This is the "nice" mom and pop style landlord too that every liberal seems to want to give a pass too.

Sure, are they less bad than the big corporate faceless landlords? Yes. But the entire relationship is the problem.

They get to justify forcing me out of my home because the value of the house that they own WENT UP.

That's why their property tax is more. They literally own something that is more valuable and making it further impossible for me to ever buy a place of my own.
