bro survived 2 assassinations, ran for 40 minutes and jumped a 2 meter wall in negative 3 degree weather livestreaming the entire time at like 2 am to defeat an incel coup attempt

the only logical conclusion is that we are npcs living in lee jae myungs isekai fantasy

theyve likely been getting assistance on the dl from russia/china/iran for years now, missile manufacturing doesnt just happen in sixth months or ukraine wouldnt be in as deep shit as it is

to quote netizens, "the last unlock on yemens agricultural tech tree lets you grow guns in the desert“

til american procurement really is ass and a single iranian salvo will take out an entire years worth of sm6s lol

edit: this might actually be the wrong link but the point is that theyve been making just 125 of their workhorse antiair missiles per year since 2023...

listening to some pretty wild theories about how nato/us is going to majorly escalate in europe before elections because the us is unwilling to directly intervene in the middle east and, other than israel, doesn't really have any proxies in the area that can reliably go to bat for it. unlike in europe, where you have the baltics and the rest of nato baying for russian blood. best part about the prediction is that once the escalation happens we'll get to see a dprk intervention in belarus. cant tell if the dude is serious or is just manifesting finno korean hyperwar energies. michael-laugh

wat do (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

i'm trying to improve the soil quality in my yard, it's hard and clay-like and roots have a hard time going down below like 4 cm. i have cow patties, rice hulls, rinsed coco coir and some cardboard.

currently the plan has been to mix up the patties and rice hulls and bury that below ground (completed already), then mulch with the coir + hulls + patties, then finally cover with cardboard. the yard is small so not much cardboard involved. i'm growing cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and beans this year, they should have been in the ground already but i wanted to grow from seed and my cats got to the sprouts. so i gotta get new ones agony-acid

please tell me what i am missing or what i could do better.

recently there has been this problem that has been getting more frequent, my computer just randomly freezes up/blackscreens and then fails to post when i do a hard restart. this doesn't resolve itself until after i open it up and play musical chairs with the ram for a bit.

shit that i have tried:

  1. swapped the ram around to different slots. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
  2. cleaned out the case
  3. wd40'd the ram pins (helped with the posting but seems to have increased crash frequency, not enough data to tell for sure)

no idea where to begin with this one, can't tell if it's a motherboard or a ram issue or something else entirely. the sticks are of differing sizes and manufacture so that may also be an issue. would give specs but the thing just died on me in the middle of posting this and i can't boot in just yet. motherboard is a supermicro x9 something server board.

pentagon defense procurement paper from last year


conclusions:

  • no commercial application for missiles makes them unprofitable
  • china makes everything
  • nobody wants to invest in domestic manufacturing
  • nobody wants to work in manufacturing, much less for the DoD

entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion

why would any foreign political entity waste its valuable english proficient resources on astroturfing an online backwater filled with politically illiterate nobodies? peak liberal solipsism

the GLF was economic policy made in response to withdrawal of soviet technological and financial aid during the sino-soviet split, one of the primary motivating factors of which being soviet insistence on china essentially allowing the soviets to recolonize the port of dalian to build a naval base from which to deploy its pacific fleet.

on top of being under sanctions from the west, the sino-soviet split further deprived china of markets with which to support its all-important capital intensive industries and so china was forced to resort to agricultural export as a method of making up the shortfall. collectivization was also pursued simultaneously to pool domestic capital for internal consumption, but due to various geographical, technical and political considerations, internal consumption was not sufficiently stimulated to support manufacturing, and so agricultural export became the primary way to finance china's continued industrialization. most accounts that are not hysterically anti-communist (including liberal darling amartya sen) of the period around the 1958 famine have records of aggregate production being more than sufficient to sustain the overall population, with the primary points of failure being overzealous local governments in highly productive areas, as opposed to popular western conceptions of overbearing central government mandated directives.

all this to say that hitler and the holocaust's relevance as a point of comparison to mao and the GLF as anything beyond 'people died when he was in charge' is laughably superficial and mostly only functions as a thought terminating associative fallacy for juicing your dopamine receptors in order to immunize your brain against more correct opinions.

this was my garden a few weeks back. i'm basically totally new at this despite having done this for a few years now and this is gonna be a sort of lessons learned kinda deal.

the story so far is that i decided i was too busy to fuck too much with replanting seedlings this year and figured that i would just go straight from seed, hoping that the unusually cold weather we were having in spring would kill most of them so i would have less work to do down the line. that was a completely unfounded and stupid assumption on my part and i had to replant/uproot a bunch of plants (see above) because i ended up just haphazardly scattering seeds everywhere and the distribution of plants was totally fucked.

a lot of them started flowering last week-ish so i decided to fertilize this week. this was initially impossible because i hadn't really done any maintenance on my little guys since i replanted them and so the place was basically a jungle. after two afternoons worth of effort the garden now looks like this (didn't really do much to the guys in the planter, there's a drainage layer but the big drainage pipe is above the drainage layer for reasons outside my control and i really need to get on that...):

all this to say that for anyone starting out, just bite the bullet and start your seeds off somewhere where you can keep track of them and replant them (IN AN ORGANIZED FASHION) later on. you'll save yourself a lot of trouble and won't end up spilling fermented soybeans all over yourself because you tripped over a potato while trying to maneuver yourself around your poor man's tomato cage.

they literally sit on top of the rest of the body, account for 25% of resting body glucose consumption by themselves, and don't actually do anything except order other parts of the body around and infecting themselves with idealist constructs like 'language' and 'consciousness' just so that they can better convince themselves and the rest of the body that they're the most important organs around.
