It made the controversy over Russians meddling in US politics all-the-more bizarre and hypocritical when you consider how many politicians, lobbyists, journalists, donors, etc have (or could quickly and easily obtain) Israeli citizenship. It's not Russians we need to worry about, it's [you know who]s.
It's amazing how much you stand out. Two brief comments from this complete stranger on the internet and I already know you're Jewish.
Actually, yes, it would seem to correlate strongly with the influence of Jews in politics, media, academia, etc.
They hadn't yet figured out that surgeons, insurers, and society will bend over backwards to facilitate mutilation and amputation of their genitalia. So brave.

Why does Rust attract this drama, pettiness, and immaturity? It's hard to take it seriously when these public tantrums are so frequent, I can't help speculating about the potential psychological disorders of those involved, and wonder how/why Rust, in particular, is a magnet for such people.

You're first cousins?

I agree, my point was that the state is coercion/violence, not that it should be avoided.

(I am a fascist, for the record.)

Yes, coercion of any kind is anti-capitalist, yet you advocate for coercion by the state.

No coercion (voluntary transaction, no state involvement): "I'll sell you this widget, but only if you agree to bring it to me for any repairs." "Ok."

Coercion (state intervention): "Hi, I see you are about to sell your widget to that other guy who would like to buy it, knowing only you can perform any future repairs. If you go ahead, I will use the full force of the justice system to punish you, up to and including death."

I realise this is unrealistically ideal. The language is very important to get right though. You are advocating for coercion for the common good, not the absence of it. The state is impotent without violence, you don't need to shy away from it. State == force.

Freedom is the key component of capitalism, in the purist sense. Including the freedom to trade the "right to repair" for other benefits, such as a superior vehicle due to higher integration, reliability and peace of mind knowing that any work will have been done by authorised repairers, lower up-front cost afforded by vendor lock-in, etc.

If people wish to voluntarily trade vehicles without the "right to repair", that's their choice, that's capitalism. The state intervening in transactions one way or the other is a violation of the capitalist ideal.

It's hard to imagine that if a huge number of Swedes were dumped in close proximity in Somalia, that they would sit around collecting benefits, forming gangs to beat, rape, and rob the native people, and blame it all on the Somalis and their government for not giving them enough handouts and advantages to succeed.

There's some other cause (which can't be said aloud).

Grenades are just one of many symptoms, one which does seem oddly specific to Sweden. There are unprecedented (by modern European standards) problems everywhere they go. Germany has some shocking reports from their Christmas festivals, for example.
You have a lot to learn about immigrants in Europe if this is surprising to you.
>I live in the middle of the biggest bar/club neighborhood in a major (usa) city

This is the modern-day equivalent of Sodom or Weimar. Most of the world, or even the West, is not nearly this far gone.

God, this thread makes me even more grateful to live in a small, 99% White town. I'm pretty sure if I left my bike somewhere, it would still be there a week later for me to collect (probably having been moved under cover), if someone hadn't already recognised it and returned it. I haven't locked a door since moving here.
Distinction without a difference. Just because we give our unhappy youth's misery a name and send them home with a bottle of pills doesn't mean they're not unhappy.
With a charging cable like a tree trunk, that doubles as a space heater?
What is the appeal of this game? (Beyond exploiting addictive personalities with a very thinly-veiled gambling simulator that is rightly being banned.)

It looks so boring. I can't tell if the reviewers proclaiming this as an "innovation" in the "roguelike" (?) genre are trolling or not. It's an ugly slot machine game where you click a buttonn to spin. This would have been uninspired trash in 1993. What am I missing?

Well, what do you expect? These are verboten for any kind of reliable embedded system.

From the Google doc, he had COVID in 2020 and made a quick and full recovery.

On May 6th 2021 he had his second vaccination and, almost immediately, all of his bizarre health issues began.

Search "COVID-19 January 11th 2020" to jump to this section.

That vaccination timeline is... interesting. But it would be a wild conspiracy to say more.
Did you misread my comment? I agree, the only reason these people don't have beautiful communities to enjoy is socioeconomic factors and racism.

I've been trouble shooting a dodgy 5G connection the last month or so and have entirely abandoned fast.com now. It seems susceptible to wildly inaccurate results when the connection is "bursty", the way 5G can be. I've got some very impressive screenshots from it though, next time anyone wants a measuring contest.
Re:Low-cost Smartwatch powered by ESP32 module on Tuesday August 08, 2023 @10:28PM (#37058053)
That would be while the radio is active. I would expect 30-50mA with the radio off, 1-3mA with automatic light sleep enabled (the CPUs will automatically enter and exit light sleep as required, even with WiFi connected), and 5uA in deep sleep.

Cheap boards like this may use external components (eg. voltage regulator, LoRA) that add tens of milliamps in quiescent currents, but a well-designed ESP32 device can achieve impressively low power.
