Blame James Carville for Biden.

Bernie was gonna take it in 2020 so Carville convinced Clyburn to endorse Biden in South Carolina, flat out stating that he did not care if there was electoral interest past the current election.

Yep, 2004 is about right, going through terminal emulators and reminiscing on old protocols that no longer mattered because of broadband and TCP/IP. Time flies, that’s for sure.

Probably incremental, but I’ll tell you this: I certainly remember the benefit of ZMODEM-90 with MobyTurbo over YMODEM-g.

I haven’t thought of that protocol feature in about 20+ years. Saved so much extra time transferring over long-distance ($$$).

The expert sounds like they are hoping that there are some adults within earshot that may suddenly wake up and rein him in.

It don’t work like that in the really-real world unless it’s extrajudicial.

There’s an example at the top along with the instructions.

This ain’t exactly the Mississippi.

I never played the latest one, which may be for the best?

Me neither, I feel the same. I remember passin up DXMD on release to give it time. 7 years should be enough, right?

Hbomberguy’s video made me realize exactly why it didn’t feel that way to me.

All of the glaring issues are coming back vividly as I am watching this. I remember the frustration with the forced narrative. It was a decent looking game on release though, I do remember that.

Unrelated… If I could recommend another,

I’ll be sure to watch it, thank you.

I was a believer. I wanted DXHR to be a worthy successor to DX, as DXIW certainly was not. I was preloaded and ready to go at launch.

If you haven’t seen this

No I haven’t… I know what I’ll be doing for the next four hours. Great catch.

my no-kill run…

And on the opposite end, if you wanted to be an efficient killer, the laser targeting system weapon modification with the sniper rifle renders the scope innacurate—and apparently it was never fixed, even in DXHRDC!

This was reported on DXHR launch… that’s just nasty.

As an original Deus Ex player I really enjoyed the game and setting, but the endings felt so lazy and dumb to me.

I had the same reaction and I couldn’t believe it. Of the original, the “easiest” ending made sense, and the other two were obvious strategic encounters with very different paths of engagement.

I couldn’t bring myself to finish DXHRDC because I was certain that even after the additional strategies were added to the bossfights they wouldn’t bother with endings. Maybe I’ll go through it one day to find out.

@19m58s - Noah Efron

…the outpouring of grief has been universal and completely undifferentiated, I mean, to be really crass about it, the thousand people who were killed are—almost all of them are the kinds of people who you would see at a protest on a Saturday night. They’re almost all leftist, they’re almost all secular…

@26m24s - Noah Efron

…people will be judging every move that the army makes and every move that the government makes: is it humane or inhumane, is it effective or ineffective, is it too weak; and they will be screaming one at the other, they will be dissatisfied, they will be angry, and then within the country as well it will not be long before—and in fact we have already begun to see some of this—before some people in the government say, you know, the reason why Hamas launched a thousand people with handheld rockets and with automatic guns to go house-to-house and murder children and their parents is because those left-wingers who are protesting every week gave them the idea that we are weak…

Thunder is so much better.

Is it though?

I use Liftoff as a secondary to Sync exclusively for its Nerd stuff data. The polish is mostly covered, the raw underlying data is what matters to me.

I remember when ReiserFS was prolific as ‘a beowulf cluster of’ and stage1 Gentoo cred, which are also likely all but forgotten.

Hard to believe this is old time trivia now. Time flies.

Orthography Etymology and meaning

The English word orthography dates from the 15th century. It comes from the French: orthographie, from Latin: orthographia, which derives from Ancient Greek: ὀρθός (orthós, ‘correct’) and γράφειν (gráphein, ‘to write’).

Isn’t that its nominative declaration?

Decentralized myself

That’s the way I see it.

I’ve got several identities spread across different regions, interests, and TLDs in preparation for varying levels of interference all the way from defederation to government intervention.

This appears to be the new way forward, and I’m down.
