Maybe to expose the utter uselessness of "papers".

Do you mean most of uses of grep are backreferencing? In my 30-yr career I did not use regex backrefs once except for learning them.

"average people"'s means of production is their brains. which they have all the chances to own but often reject them.

I sat before a second-hand 20" 1280x1024 monitor in 2001. And it was old (as in >5 years) at that point.

then there was Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 with 140-ish kHz horisontal scan

FreeBSD 4 was big in early 2000s.

train is the wrong approach. you earn respect with them, and then they defend you.

lol moment was when we with a girlfriend playfully fell down on sofa, but the then master-of-house siberian 6kg cat considered that a threat to me.

he jumped ~3m claws open, smashed a desk top lamp, shredded the gfs' top and basically opened up her back before I could stop him.

3 lb housecat can shred your face so fast that your arms would be late arriving.

do not underestimate cats.

^^ Behold the religious belief in "peer review" "field experts" and the attempt at argument reversal at the end.

This is what middle ages were famous for, and it took Renaissance to get rid of this.

edit: Giordano Bruno was burned at stake for challengin people like you.

About 3-5 seconds depending on plumbing.

pointing to a "consensus" which is antithetical to science method.

but ye, who I am to persecute people based on their beliefs, this is for religious people to do.

there is this thing named "Single Lever Wash Basin Mixer Tap".

bury them in 10m of sand and nothing short of close hit by a 150kt warhead will do anythin.

it is also cheaper than risking tankers

what a silly notion.

Long term impact of Iran war is that they expand UAE-Oman pipelines to bypass Hormuz.

Yup. I think my xubuntu install dates back to early 2010s. I upgrade to 04s, it works.

there's also more fun stuff like https://www.electricalvolt.com/cvt-constant-voltage-transfor...

I thought it's about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransformer

idk why you think "nation states" are any better at corporate governance than poster examples of bad like f/ex Boeing. Or Facebook. Or Microsoft. Or Enron for that matter.

I assure you, in "nation states", that is in gov agencies it's an order or two of magnitude worse.

Did you ditch nginx for the same reason?

I remember the time when I did not need any fancy frameworks, webfonts, tons of JS and effin cdns to present my thoughts to the world.

This time is now. Your bickering about how to more efficienty bloat a page is... pitiful.

Doesn't matter. They're instututionally incapable to rising back to the art of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", so it's all water under the bridge.

Radioactivity has nothing to do with it.

Was solved in Mi-6/Mi-8/Mi-26 blades without it.

Spy vs Spy touch is very nice. Thank you.

What's the point though? If you got the stuff it's better run in UAE. If you have none I don't trust you and therefore think the Amiga name is misleading. To gain trust here show some code running in UAE.

There is no point in "porting to Godot" because either you port Amiga stuff to UAE-likes or FPGAs or you in fact advertise "AN AI REWROTE MY CRAP GWBASIC GAME FROM 93 LOL". Lol. Which is riduculous.

and people will just laugh.

also 68k asm is actually human-readable compared to x86.

At this point we must have a drink to that.

But serioslly when IPOs were not a sad joke? In early 1990s? But I think never.

Well, IF. If you have enough skill you can a do stoppie in a turn, turn around and shoot off the way you came from. But this is bordering on stunt riding, not something to be relied on for day-to-day riding where you have to have enough margin to account for being not very focused, road having various low-friction crap that fell off a truck, crazy pedestrians, car drivers asleep etc.

I just adjust the brake handle light switch so that lights go up before there is any brake force applied, so that you can float it just by feel. Idk, this is what 90s japanese bikes did right from the factory. Then train that "drop throttle" is equivalent to "pull front brake to ready" and light comes on.

It's motorcycling basics really.

What he names "fishtailing" is what is known as "highside" in motorbike circles. When the rear wheel loses grip, it and the entire frame except the front fork moves sideways. When the rear wheel inevitably retains grip, the resulting force violently flips the whole. On a bicycle this is rare and survivable, on a 200+kg mc not very much so.

In a turn you either apply energy if that is at all possible (usually), or just steer. It is recommended to accelerate inside a turn, because that way you can better control grip on the rear due to not accidentally engine-braking (not applicable to bicycles), and because thrust on the rear wheel helps the bike into the turn (applicable to bicycles).

Braking in a turn is a last-effort thing, taken only if you are certain that it'll lessen damage from otherwise imminent crash.

Biking is traction/grip control at all times. Traction is always shared between steering and brake/accel. You do not want less control in a turn, and loss of traction means loss of steering.

So you do not ever brake in a turn.

You decelerate on a straight before it. If a turn goes bad for whatever reason, that means that a) you made a mistake entering it at the speed you did, and b) now you choose what to crash into, and then execute the crash while hoping that your protection holds, which might include hard front brake and a steering input so that you lowside feet (and bike) first into the obstacle. But not before.

So the first lesson of bike-riding is being aware at all times of available traction.

95% use of fronts follows: you only use them on straights, and there they are much more efficient than rears because the whole mass of you and bike enhances front wheel traction. cf. the wheelie.

That's a lowside. Turn very gently if weather invites ice (or wet autumn leaves which are about as creepy as ice), never use front brakes.

Locking and then suddenly reacquiring grip on the rear wheel causes highsides on motorbikes, it's when you fly out of the seat and into the oncoming 18-wheeler. But it's quite hard to do on bicycles.

Fronts are useful when you have to decelerate rapidly while travelling in straight line, but in turns you just don't touch them ever.

edit: and on a decent motorbike/scooter you learn to not use brakes except in emergency, 95% of all deceleration is handled by just dropping the throttle.
