Stop talking.

Please. You don't get it, you're not Venezuelan. Then shut up.

Your comment was awfully racist, xenophobic and classist. Just stop.

If you disagree about the US dictating what Venezuela does through violence and threats. Then lead by example and stop being the dumb gringo that pretends to know what foreigners think and do better than them. Stop.

Well, she already announced she is ready to cooperate with the US to ensure peace.

I could argue that he is just as horrible as Hitler but just to a smaller set of people and that it is justified. But I also bet that wouldn't change your mind. That's the problem with crimes against humanity, suffering can't be quantified. And it never would feel justified until it happens to you.

I like that line of thinking as much as the next guy, but it strikes me as wildly misguided that the US politics has reduced to that. Like, I get the symbolic aspects of the Epstein's files for politics, but still think it is mindless engagement.

An indisputably genuine video of Trump raping a literal toddler could be released tomorrow and nothing would change. Their support base and the gears of power are already too deeply entwined to his personality. No amount of public rage or national indignation changes governments.

"I didn't say it, I declared it!"

But seriously, declaration of war is a legal term specific to each country internal law system. War, as a legal term, hasn't actually been a thing either in international law since the 50s. It was changed to armed conflict. Which, before you think is stupid and why not call a spade a spade, is actually not that stupid. It created a well defined but much broader concept that (this is the important bit) is independent of a country's internal law standing or diplomatic declarations thereof. If a situation fulfills the criteria, then it is an armed conflict whether the countries involved like it or declared it. It gives tools to nation states and international organizations to do certain things on the international stage more freely in these situations even when the countries involved don't want them to.

OK, I disagree but raise you one more. Chocolate covered popcorn and chocolate covered bacon are treats sent by the gods as the secret food of the initiated in the misteries of taste.

It's all about composition

It sounds like you're trying to do too much manual stuff. Anything self-hosted is rather complex by default. But, it is designed to be simple to manage and install, as long as you use the tools intended for it. Jellyfin is packaged in all sorts of ways, and each way aims at different use cases. If it's going to run on your daily driver, best use docker to keep your desktop and the server separated, else it might complain of that sort of library compatibility issues.

I hate graphs that don't start the Y axis at zero.

That said, fuck ubisoft.

This sucks but it is a hard lesson about dealing with large companies. If any company wants anything that doesn't comes off the shelf of the store, they have to pay upfront. Pay has to be by a certain amount of days in advance of delivery date or the date is not guaranteed and will be late. Work doesn't start until payment is done. If they want to pay after delivery, sign a contract, require an advance of at least half of the bill or materials cost (whichever is highest), non-refundable, include a cancellation fee. Put this shit up as terms of service on a website and direct everyone to that page whenever you are contacted by a new client. The larger the client company, the more important it is to be this strict. For you it might be a bankruptcy inducing amount, but to them it will be immaterial pocket change, so you have to hold your ground.

No matter how expensive a home sim you make, it won't ever get be even a quarter of what an actual entry amateur plane costs to buy and maintain. It's not even the plane itself either, it's all the recurring costs like storage, maintenance, spare parts, fuel, certification fees, taxes, etc. The only cheap flight option for a recreational pilot is bushcraft light planes. And they will still cost more than the sim setup, while you'll only be able to fly it on certain places, during certain weather, at certain times of the year. The rest of the time you'll still have to pay all the storage and maintenance fees. Planes are incredibly expensive.

Wanna get even angrier? Since the cease fire was agreed, Israel released 150 Palestinian people. In that time, they have also made 133 new arrests of Palestinians for the crime of…celebrating the release of Palestinians.

If this were done by a movie villain, people would criticize it for being too cartoonishly evil and unrealistic.
