Hikikomori··on Tanker attacks in Strait of Hormuz surge to wartime high, Iran tries choking oil
With the other strait closed boats need to go around Africa taking an extra month, this is already causing a shortage as trips take much longer.

Edit: tanker hit a mine today in Hormuz, going great

Hikikomori··on Trump lifts sanctions on Russian diesel
What they're producing is already used. We're lacking at least 10-15m per day now. Also don't have enough boats now that they need to go around Africa. Russias refineries are also under drone attacks and they even have internal shortages on fuel.

It's a triple whammy that is about to hit hard as china started buying oil again but decreased diesel exports.

Hikikomori··on Scam American companies are using to manipulate ingredient lists
Works pretty well in Europe as well. You could try adjusting the rules, start testing products and dining the shit out of the ones not following the rules.

Hikikomori··on Iranian campaign planted fake articles in real U.S. publications using ChatGPT
I think it's rather obvious that it didn't start with israel killing negotiators.
Hikikomori··on Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court
They didn't. But they're big mad that ICC put out warrants for Netanyahu etc.

EDIT: forgot the peace prize, trump likely mad over that again.

>Israel and Iran were attacking each other in 2024 and 2025

Reality: Multiple surprise attacks launched by Israel, including killing Irans diplomatic negotiators while actively negotiating.

In about a month we'll see if dementia don and goons are able to kill off the oscillation and cement their power.

I heard China is just distilling the frontier models, so if they stop so will China.

The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World

Maybe this one? Haven't read it but I think a machinist youtuber recommended it.

Hikikomori··on Why were Victorian elites so effective?
Man this is dumb.

Ireland produced more food than it needed, even if we don't count potatoes. It was exported, mainly to England, as other markets could pay more. Plenty of other things the victorian's did to make the situation worse. Mainly thanks to free market idealists.

Pre colonial India had famines and many ways to handle them, the British did away with them. The system they set up and replaced made it a lot worse and whatever small trickle of help they provided clearly wasn't enough.

I don't know why you're trying to whitewash colonialism. That it's immoral is pretty simple, they let millions of people die for profit.

Hikikomori··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
I know and I can't use cloud gaming myself in part because of the games I play and because I'm used to 240fps PC latency so no game can feel good, I can barely stand using steam link for couch gaming. But there are loads of people that wouldn't notice the difference if they're used to 30fps consoles and loads of games where the latency doesn't matter.
Hikikomori··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
It matters in almost every game I play as well, but for some it doesn't really matter like Baldurs Gate 3, Blue Prince, etc. And I think if you're used to 30fps on console you might not notice a difference in most games, but if you're used to 240hz/fps on a PC any game will feel atrocious until you get used to it.
Hikikomori··on Paramount Skydance has completed its $111B merger with Warner Bros. Discovery
There's only 21% because of the nakba, which was done in part because the ideals of democracy was incongruous with the ethnical composition of the land.

>Zionism isn’t religious for a large number of Jews, it’s just a practical response to centuries of pogroms and genocide

And the response is to do your own to another people? Great.

Latency isn't great, but it doesn't matter for many games.

More importantly he's a zionist and put bari Weiss in charge. It's pretty clear what they want to do.

Hikikomori··on Example.com just launched the biggest redesign in decades
Don't see why this is relevant, ping is not traceroute or http. If you just want to test if packets can leave your network then its a good enough test and anycast doesn't affect that.

Hikikomori··on Nearly 200 people under observation after Irkutsk lab worker dies from plague
I'm just using your argument against you. Both are unreliable, China is authoritarian, America has been taken over by an authoritarian and science denying regime.

>China is an authoritarian, autocratic state.

As opposed to current America?

Scientists can still asses information and evidence with that in mind and still say which option is more likely to have happened. Or even say that China has faked evidence if they did so.

>In these situations we rely heavily on intelligence services

I don't think intelligence services are equipped to do this. But if we go by who has the better data, better equipped and resource I would assume that America wins on that, so should we believe them more?

>The National Intelligence Council and four other IC agencies assess that the initial human infection with SARS-CoV-2 most likely was caused by natural exposure to an infected animal that carried SARS-CoV-2 or a close progenitor, a virus that probably would be more than 99 percent similar to SARSCoV-2

Hikikomori··on Denmark data breach exposes 8.8M people's personal data
Not in full as it doesn't have the last 4 partly random digits, though personal numbers aren't that useful even if it was the full one.

>"it's so friggin likely it came from the lab", even after they published a paper

This particular was over a month before it was published, who's lying again? But this is discussions between colleagues as new evidence was coming in. If the investigation was tilted in the direction of the wet market we would have seen evidence of that, instead we see different people having different opinions on early and incomplete evidence and eventually coming to an agreement on what is more likely based on evidence they had at the end.

>"now we know the wet market was not the source, it was an amplifier"

Doesn't exclude that it was from natural origin. Amplifier meaning where it entered the human population and started spreading widely.

> The evidence it came from the Wuhan lab is overwhelmingly strong

There is a lot of conjecture for the lab leak theory, no real evidence. Meanwhile there's plenty of actual evidence that points to the wet market, such as the initial spread was clustered around the market.

>to the extent that anyone who believes otherwise should be suspected of motivated reasoning.

This sentence alone is rather telling...

You do realize the ICC issued warrants for Hamas leaders as well? They're not taking sides.
