Also, how yhe hell does the Akashic record have no matches? Shouldn’t it at least return the query itself?

Disagree, mostly because half the time I WinR is when I’m trying to fix someone else’s PC, and getting to the settings is half the problem.

I’ve had the thought that if I were to design a psyop campaign, a pretty solid option for dominating the discussion would be to come out swinging and accuse everyone else of being an agent. That way, people have to either constantly defend against accusations, or they conclude, rightly, the accusations are baseless and decide to disregard the very idea that there is a psyop going on.

Ah, right, I got my acronyms confused.

VS? Wasn’t x86-64 originally an ARM creation?

Yes, fragility is disgracefvll veakness. To defeat the enemy ze men mvst be strong, zey mvst be heroes, zey must have vill to seize vhat zey vant. It vill to pover zat vill tvrn little boys into strong men. Zis is antifascism.

I mean, yes, but I fail to see how that’s relevant.

Do they, or did someone put a road through a bear’s outhouse?

Considering they had, IIRC, like 6 beaver suits total, I’d say it’s a production masterpiece.

…Sounds like you’re looking for “Thousands of Beavers”. Great movie.

Heh, the “Mike becomes a commie” series is his masterwork.

Pierson also does great work, I was some 200 in myself when I trailed off.

It’s a pity he didn’t carry on into Byzantine history. Though his Revolutions is also superb.

More like “tried to follow procedure, but the establishment broke it over and over to stop them until nobody had any faith in the system left”. “Storm before the storm” by Duncan is a great book covering it.

If anything mismanagement is a kindness - a word that inspires the same whiff of medieval buffoonery as “death by misadventure,” as though Haddad and co simply had one too many flagons of mead, stumbled into the wrong paddock on the way home and got several hundred people’s careers kicked in the head by a cow.

Hahaha holy shit!

it is the near-universal consensus among economic historians and economists that slavery was not "a system irrationally kept in existence by plantation owners who failed to perceive or were indifferent to their best economic interests

Well, I’ll be damned.

Frankly, it’skind of the opposite: the slavery part of the argument is obvious, simply because IIRC the model of chattel slavery the US south operated on was only viable through the constant flow of new people to feed into the meatgrinder. The “better off” part is kinda dubious.

Ethelred is doubly funny, because “unraed” actually translates to “badly counciled”. So it’s really “Ethelred the Ill-advised”, which is somehow even worse.

Oh, sure, especially if it’s the same few users. It’s just mildly surprising to not even run into them.

That’s actually a very interesting map! I didn’t know the gulf is just large enough to not be entirely divvied up!

Really? You never ran into the endless “…furthermore, .ml must be defederated” posts?
