It must be serious if they are risking putting Khamenei in a Russian aircraft
On the plus side, it’s not a Boeing aircraft.

your MD believes you’ve healed. book says you should have years ago.
If your doc thinks that, change doc.
In my neck of the woods, doctors are so aware of phantom pains that I can literally walk into any doctor’s office, even one I’ve never met before, and ask for a prescription of Gabapentin or opioid of any denomination at any strength no questions asked. If I was still addicted, I would have no supply problem.
- Comment on Put the shoes on 1 week ago:
Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂
My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.

Or get amputated.
The first times I went to the swimming pool in rehab, I remember feeling “more than 100%” naked in the changing room - if that makes any sense - because bits of me that used to be deep down inside of me were now only skin-deep. It’s a very strange feeling to feel even more naked than naked. Hard to describe.
- Comment on If Programmers are wizards then what are Computer Architects? 1 week ago:
Most computer engineers are only engineers in the original sense of railway engineer: they throw coal in the fire to run the engine.
Real engineers (with an engineering degree) are called “senior software engineer”
- Comment on If Programmers are wizards then what are Computer Architects? 1 week ago:
Computers architects are like real architects: they’re paid more to design buildings but they don’t know how to lay bricks.

Do we have to take side?
The “American values” of 2026 are about as nauseating as the fucking Iranian clerics’, and both the US and Iran can shove their values where the sun don’t shine.

Damn right. There would be no war if the orange pedo in the White House wasn’t trying desperately to make everybody forget he’s a fucking pedo.
The Ayatollah really need to give an interview and ask “So… How many times is Donald Trump mentioned in the Epstein files again?:

“Mexican food”…
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 4 weeks ago:
Not really. It’s just that only a lunatic fringe in the US calls it the Gulf of America. They can also call the country the Uber Stupendous Amazingistan, if nobody else ro-ro with that, it’s as good as nonexistent.
Point being, while there is no legitimate authority, usage is what makes it official.

It hasn’t.

I have a security camera at my house. Not for security, but to watch the nature at the back from inside the house.
I specifically did NOT install a SD card in it nor an NVR, so if it’s ever removed as evidence for any kind of reason, it will have no story to tell. And of course, it’s on our LAN and firewalled off the internet.

haha you can’t use them, because you don’t pay, but the government gets a free universal pass.
Well, same for ICE: the fuzz is generally supposed to work for the good of the community, but ICE is working against it, yet you pay for it in your taxes.
The camera too works against you, but through Amazon, not directly.
Shit working against you is a theme these days…

I don’t have a doorbell camera, but I have to go past at least 2 of them every time I leave my home
A spray-paint can goes a long way. Just make sure to approach the damn camera from a blind angle.
The thing with a spray-paint can is, it takes you 2 seconds and a fraction of a penny to disable the camera, while it takes the man beaucoup bucks and a lot of time to fix it.

Today’s world is so weird: online “services” are forced unto you even if you stop paying for them, and visiting kidnappers caught on camera look like ICE officers…

- Comment on French MPs demand explanation over tech firm’s contract to help ICE in US 1 month ago:
Said another way: the French discover that late-stage capitalism and cronyism knows no border.
How quaint…
- Comment on What if the Epstein files are the distraction? 1 month ago:
You think too unilaterally.
Everything is a distraction for everything else. The entire Project 2025 strategy, summed up perfectly by that tramp-looking lardass Steve Bannon, is to “flood the zone” - that is, coming up with such a volume of such outrageous shit constantly, relentlessly, that nobody has time to follow up on anything.
When the media latches on Epstein too much, suddenly it’s war on Venezuela. When Venezuela raises too many question, oops: now it’s murders in Minneapolis.
Etc etc.
Ad nauseam. - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:

I’m paying for my open source preference and the support / community instead of the most modern fancy features. I want both, but I’d still choose the former
I try to apply the same logic whenever I can too.
For instance, my laptop is a MNT Reform: it’s a very good laptop, but it’s literally 6 times the price of a comparatively-specced laptop from a big-box store.
And my cellphone is a Fairphone 5 running Ubuntu Touch. I chose the Fairphone for the repairability and increased openness, but it’s also 2 to 3 times the price of a more common brand cellphone with similar performances. And Ubuntu Touch itself comes with its own set of restrictions, but that’s the price of trying to be as free from the Android ecosystem as possible.
So yeah, you can do open, but the choice is very limited and you pay a lot for the privilege.

I have a Prusa XL, and the reason is, Prusa is (still) mostly open-source. And quite frankly it’s the only reason why I stick with Prusa, because technically they’re behind the curve.

Surveillance capitalism and the fascists always find a way to debase everything good that people like.
