You can turn off a lot of the Civ 4 flash and it will feel more like Civ III. But to each his own. Civ 4 was the first one that really, really hooked me.

This also will end up in the courts and the Supreme Court has long taken the 4th amendment seriously. Conservatives included. I expect this to be struck down.

This is possible… but surely it will be Linux with a walled garden on top. The first clue will be a version of the Xbox running an OS with this model.

I don’t wholly agree with that statement. He repeatedly asked for people to remain peaceful in the run up to J6. Even in his infamous 70 minute speech on the day of (which by the way was still going when most of the protestors were already

The earths’ resources are finite and we are in a competition for them. Technology and AI make the race for energy even more intense. If your country was as large as the US or China it too would likely be a “bully.” France is still a bully i

Democracy is incredibly hard. If you start believing you can’t get along then society just turns into a rush to slam the Overton window shut on your opposition. Don’t give up hope.

Yes the US has the same rich people in charge but the President is willing to defy them. He defied them on tariffs and secure arctic access and mineral rights probably align with their interests. The US is unified with one military, one eco

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes, but they were morons No, not without an amendment allowing a third term, but even if there were an amendment probably still a No because he is too old and his very blunt and impolitic manner is not sustainable long-term

That’s not how physics works. The amount of energy needed to get two tons of vehicle to move from rest is enormous and that energy was transferred to a human body. The force of a two ton vehicle moving even a couple MPH is substantial.

The US would likely not have to fire a single shot. NATO would likely do nothing substantive. No economic repercussions. If anything this is a wake up call for Europe to come to grips with how ineffectual they have become. Any kind of finan

Of course it was in our interests to do so. No empire acts otherwise. We do not own the world, but we do own the worlds reserve currency, largest economy, are the guarantors of safe naval passage for most of the world, are the defenders of

The US wouldn’t attack in an invasion. It would simply start building bases - it doesn’t need the south of Greenland. Just southern enough for a port that can stay open. If we build a Rammstein- sized base the US would already outnumber th

Can you please leave this comment on all the posts that state “we need to protest” or “look at the mad king” I don’t see any explanation or opportunity for curious conversation. Why did you single mine out? Oh yeah, the default instinct to

It’s a pure political discussion. It will get flagged by enough people who don’t want to see politics to remove it from the page.

You illustrate my point exactly - we are all awful colonialists. No one has a moral claim on Greenland.

I appreciate you. People have become more anti-Vax because the Covid vaccines were at best ineffective and as you said anything contra-narrative is buried or ignored. If you push a shitty product and force people to take it to keep their jo

People have the right to believe things that could get them killed and the right to share their beliefs with others. Allowing the debate to be shut down is undemocratic and unscientific (science without question is nothing more than religio

There was at least one Multics server with users at RPI when I graduated in 1999. I wonder how long it persisted.

It may be easier for the memory controller to schedule two narrower writes than waiting for one 512-bit block or perhaps they just didn't substantially update the memory controller and so it still has to operate as it did in Zen 4.

cc65 did not support the tricks he needed to do to support relocatable code, or at least he couldn't figure out how to get cc65 to support them. From another forum: "I was going to do it all with cc65 but then couldn't figure
