Brainsploosh,

I use Newpipe, it’s not as good as Vanced, but better than reVanced. And good enough that I recoil in horror at the stock app.

Brainsploosh,

And the everyone burst into a “hallelujah, lord!”.

Brainsploosh,

Assuming the same density, about three times as much gravity.

Gravity scales linearly with volume which scales with the cube of the width, (3/2)³ is about 3,4.

Brainsploosh,

As a non-native speaker, wouldn’t falling in the hole be the act of crossing the opening, and falling down the hole be the rest of the way?

Brainsploosh,

I would have guessed that into and in are interchangeable for this case, at least in US English. But in other contexts into is a direction, in is a position.

Falling into it includes the travel time (potentially from a great height), whereas in mostly pertains to the end state?

That would mean into and down refer to different parts of the falling timeline.

Brainsploosh,

One percent relative what the market was at the starting point.

The market today is 237 % of starting point (probably 1990).

Brainsploosh,

Head zaps are only meant to be around for the first 2-6 weeks, if it sticks around longer you should consult your doctor.

That’s also about the same time it’s supposed to take for you to feel some relief, and through that be able to actually improve your situation and learn resilience and strategies to manage your symptoms.

Make sure you take your dosage as prescribed for the whole period, it takes time to build up the ssri levels in your body, and the sooner they get up to par, the sooner the zaps stop, and you can get started getting better.

Brainsploosh,

Yes, both change roles, industries, even fields. Some have reeducated, went into business for themselves.

It’s seldom been easy for any of us, but the change is empowering, the suffering lessened, and the potential for betterment great.

Brainsploosh,

What a well reasoned and well described set of posts. You are a credit to our community!

Nerds, I need ideas for my college project that should resemble the below GitHub project - Event Planner. (github.com)

I’m looking for a good idea that should be easy, but unique, and never existed, or maybe not. The web application ought to resemble the GitHub project, however, it should incorporate a distinct concept. Using Next.js and MongoDB....

Brainsploosh,

For programming, you should probably be able to copy that project design.

If you want to make it difficult for yourself, you pick a user or use case to optimise for.

Maybe you make it a wargaming centered booking and matching site (for ladders and weekly games type tournaments)?

Maybe you make it conference centre based, giving appropriately sized suggestions and showcase the rooms?

Maybe you make it for yourself and add schedule sync, or notifications, or whatever you’ve always been missing from your calendar app.

Border standoff between Texas, feds intensifies as governor defies Supreme Court ruling (www.pbs.org)

This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is...

Brainsploosh,

Have you seen the numbers? Could you link them?

The only thing I’ve been able to find is 2,2 million “encounters” in a high year, over the whole country.

Germany takes in a million immigrants per year by itself, and has at least a handful of encounters per immigrant to process them. Also has a bunch of encounters with illegal immigrants.

Germany is smaller than Texas.

Abbott doubles down on border ‘invasion’ declaration after Supreme Court blow (thehill.com)

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ® on Wednesday accused the federal government of breaking the compact with the states following a Supreme Court ruling on Monday that cleared the way for the Border Patrol to remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border....

Brainsploosh, (edited )

I can’t find direct data on how many illegal immigrations are happening in Texas every year, but the undocumented population is estimated to be about 1,5 million, and stable. [source]

Between 2022 and 2023, the legal migrant population increased by 10k, and eligible migrants decreased by 50k. If we assume that the whole difference is only due to illegal immigrants naturalizing, that would mean that the Texas yearly influx of immigrants is 60k. [source]

That would mean that the “invasion” requiring armed self defence/martial law is for 60k civilians.

About 10 million Texans yearly travel over 50 miles, [source], does that mean Texas is invading most of the US annually?

(also, it’s ridiculous that you don’t have clear data and statistics on this exact question. Sometimes I love living in the EU)

Brainsploosh, (edited )

True, but it might get you far enough that you aren’t “home”, and might be “invading” a neighbouring city.

But I agree, it’s a weakly relevant datapoint, but the only other travel data I could find was that 250k texans fly for Thanksgiving, which was even less useful.

I’m honestly baffled, how do you set policy, have informed debate or even identify business opportunities with so little reliable data?

Brainsploosh,

Texas is about the size of Ukraine or France, not the whole continent.

Brainsploosh, (edited )

Yeah, it’s quite interesting, but it measures encounters without defining them, and it’s very hard to get anything specifically useful for Texas.

The data does more to show that Texas are being whiny about it, than what their criterion for invasion is. I fully expect a ComiCon or similar to drive as much tourists as the whole illegal immigration thing, and that Texans travel in similar sized crowds for any holiday. But there aren’t any clear data on either, pointing to dangerous ineptitude, and emotionally motivated (or “hysterical” as it was called in the olden days) governance.

Brainsploosh,

Enough to cover my living expenses, working expenses, retirement fund, savings, etc. at about 8-12 hours of work/week.

Brainsploosh,

For varying levels of retirement and savings, this is what non-agricultural humans have done for most of the history of our species.

Brainsploosh,

If only there was some way to leave traces and/or study left traces. Would definitely cut down on all the time travel pollution

Brainsploosh,

Wasn’t the story that the light gun set off the explosive armor attachments to blind it?

Brainsploosh,

In several countries you can add your number to a no-marketing list, making it illegal.

Brainsploosh,

Which essentially means that either Putin is bluffing, or believes that he could get away with it.

With Ukraine, even with operational disaster, it would seem he’s quite apt at getting away with stuff, and has prepared both political discord and the flexibility to capitalise on the shifting world stage.

Gearing the informational landscape is a commitment of resources, much more than the random blusters and threats they’ve been throwing around. Russia traditionally has had the capacity for large scale feints and diversions, so I guess we’ll have to see what more they’re doing and where.
