“In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung,” Gosar wrote.
I’m sure a lot of people engaging in sodomy would enjoy their partners having large penises, but I’m not sure how that’s relevant. Or how or why Representative Gosar knows how big General Milley’s dick is right now.
Linking this to just Biden is disingenuous and really buries the lede. This meme just divides us further in service of ignoring that the problem is the entire fucking system and not just one politician or one party.
Pretty much. All US veterans who have died in Ukraine were volunteers. Just about everything we’ve given Ukraine is old military equipment we don’t need, and it accounts for such a small amount in the total budget while absolutely fucking the greatest threat to Europe at the moment. It might be the best ROI we’ve ever gotten from anything ever.
This is coming from someone who is extremely anti-war, but that doesn’t make me anti-defend yourself.

I always loved it when metal shows would come to the bars I worked at.
Not like, here’s some disturbed MU-WHA-HA-HA or anything on the radio, but Black/Doom/War/Poli/Sludge/Thrash really subculture shit. As someone who played a lot of punk music in life, I always could appreciate metal like that. The scene, talent, devotion and in some cases being fucking out there nuts, was always rad. Played tons of cross over shows, too. Made great friends.
That years later, can still bring a tear to my eye every time I think of the “tiny thank you’s”
Like the singer is guttural as fuck. Blood is coming off the finger tips of the guitar players as he’s hitting the reverb tank for nightmare juice, the drummer is fucking sober and the perfect specimen of what the ideal metal killing machine would be and the bass player is still like, “yeah, i’m in a metal band making the bass go brrrrrr” and being all bass player.
Ten minute wall of metal pounds those in front like an assault. Every long hair looks like a hair dye commercial as their locks and beards are sonic-ally blown behind them as the final verses come to an almost shit educing growl at the end being forced from the most darkest evil parts of the bowl that makes women inexplicably become 6 months 6 days and 6 fucking hours pregnant. And the loser boyfriend who wasn’t even there is still the daddy.
As you see the titans of rage and petulance gather themselves back to gather, the nineteen foot tall product of satanic science, his demon parents fucking and hard fucking drugs brings the mic to his mouth and says… in a very well mannered, often kinda high pitched and nerdy toned voice waving and pointing at people smiling all big a dumb… he squeeks…
^ Hey guys, thansk everyone for coming out. it’s been great. Shout out to milos dad and uncle for making it out. Super cool guys. So uhhhhhh, agin, we’re ILLITERATE GOAT PORNOGRAPHERS OF PLANET FUCKING DEATH and this song is called "We gotta nuke something. thanks again everyone! babe, grab me a beer ^ ONE TWO THREE FOUR and back into the face melting talents i will never in my life posses.
But going from apocalypse to accountant thanking the fam back to doom train always had me laughing endlessly. Even knowing it was coming, it will still make me giggle. What they do is professionalism and courteous.
Fucking Metal.
Youtube the death metal vocal trainer. the videos with the old woman and Devin Townsend caliber singers makes it all come together.

Perseverance has started to core the top of the ‘Mount Meeker’ target, its coring bit is placed a little to the left of the ‘Dragons Egg’ abrasion patch that the rover has been inspecting for several sols. For scale the diameter of the drill bit is ~25mm (1 inch). Processed F-L HazCam image from Sol 862 (July 25, 2023)....
These are Fiducial Markers (or fiducials for short). Fiducials basically allow the rover’s computers to measure itself.
The markings are a staple of engineering that can serve two parallel purposes, to calibrate cameras and to calibrate various mechanisms on the rover.
They’re a common feature in high-tech photography and robotics here on Earth, but the use of fiducials on extra-terrestrial robots is relatively new.
The technique started informally on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission, which landed Spirit and Opportunity on the Red Planet’s surface in 2004.
JPL engineers noticed that, over time, the accuracy of the MER robotic arm was degrading, and they weren’t really sure why. So some of the JPL engineers came up with an algorithm that would just recognize a circular feature on the end of the arm. Then every day, it could track where that actually was versus where the robotic rovers thought it was. The idea blossomed into more than just an engineering hack with Curiosity. JPL engineers came up with the design for the fiducials for Curiosity, as they needed something that would be easy for either a computer program or a person to accurately pick the center of. Having that intersection in the middle makes it easier for a person, as they can zoom in on the image and click exactly on that intersection, and the design also makes it easy for a computer, because it can compute the center of a circle. From there, basic trigonometry lets engineers piece together the positions and orientations of the various parts of the rover.
To measure all of the mechanisms on the rover, fiducials are installed all over the turret, on the end of the rover’s arm, as well as on the tops of the steering actuators and on the top deck of the rover.
They were so useful they are now installed on the Mars Insight lander and the M2020 rover.
M2020 also uses the smaller ‘April Tags’. They’re fiducial markers for machine vision systems and are “robust to lighting and viewing angle”.
Working hard on it! Can’t wait for API to go live to make it widely available.
I wrote an API adapter layer to be able to support both kbin and lemmy in the app. Want to open source that as a package, so hopefully more apps can easily add support for both 🤞
