Yes, thats the point of the movie - human beings' most banal desires can be and are weaponized against them. That you reject the entire premise of the movie because you can't "get over" this particular aspect, just mea

The difference is that one follows the collective/reactive order of things, and the other doesn't. "Everyone knows" is the greatest conspiracy of all. Its quite possible to be a 'nut' simply by referring to wh

I have two of these, near-permanently affixed to my Zynthian .. but now I think I want another one for the desktop. Anyone know of similar devices available currently?

Ah, very interesting! Here in Austria, we have a number of great tournaments being put on by various private clubs and enthusiast groups - but yes, machines are hard to find, if you don't join these clubs. I recently joined one (Flip

I'm in the middle of a DIY pinball project - all design work and analysis at the moment, including getting a BARRACORA table for a few months to serve as inspiration. Got any tips and tricks for budding pinball designers? Maybe some n

Fellow pinball enthusiast here - I didn't get into it because of SCP, though, but rather grew up with the machines being regularly rotated and maintained in my Dads hamburger shop in the 70's .. halcyon days indeed! What part of t

Ah, that does look like something I can work with - thanks for the legwork, I will check it out and see if its worthwhile converting to C/C++ for my device ..

Anyone got a handle on the algorithm required to do this? I've got a pocketable accelerometer-enabled device I'd like to try to implement this on..

Sure it is - we build a sphere around our planet to harvest every erg of energy hitting it, and then use that to create and flatten the disc that is one of many we'd need to build to construct the sphere ..

Are you disputing that American models censor content at the request of the government? "Context matters..."

Yeah, maybe you should, as a citizen, start holding your war criminals accountable for their crimes. You can't keep buying the worlds' love with trinkets while murdering its children, Americans.

Indeed, we are discussing the propaganda wasteland of Western media, more than anything else. American media are owned by the same people making profit from selling the bombs falling in the genocide - so, it won't freely and openly rep

Short time? No, the US has been losing its stance in the world since the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003, murdering a million people in cold blood on the basis of outright lies. It has been downhill ever since then. The support for the Ga

Hot take: We're in the first stages of building our own Dyson sphere and therefore comets are only useful in the context of capturing them for that purpose. ;)

So? Doesn't matter. Git in that case still provides valuable historical archiving and versioning that is still more useful than the option, without it. Plus, its chicken and egg. If the OS had a great interface to Git as part of its

Interesting that this was discovered after embarking on a journey to understand how widespread the use of Lua is, in the exploits realm .. I also wonder why they opted to make this an injectable worm and not just a side-loaded 'feature
