Using dry bags inside the pack means you:

* Don't need to stop/remember to put the pack cover on.
* Can use them to organise different things. e.g. separate clothes from sleep kit.
* Can use them to roll/squash the air out of clothes/bedding to take up less space.
* If you need to remove things from the pack to look for items lower down they'll stay dry in their separate bags.

The trade off is a little more weight but it's generally < 100g-ish compared to a pack cover.
Banning alcohol pushes it into the black market, as both the US and the USSR discovered.

What works better IMO is educating people about alcohol and moving away from hard liquor to beer and wine.

Garry's Mod never had any offical way of selling addons. There are have been thirdparty platforms to do so and Garry has officially approved of them. I felt when these platforms got popular I noticed this need for obsfucation of Lua scripts in Garry's Mod. I've also heard of servers getting ddosed if they are known to pirate paid addons.

I've made one popular addon for Garry's Mod that lets you create custom avatars. It's a bit like a game engine where you have a scene graph with different types of objects you can add to your default avatar or override completely. The modifications can be "worn" while playing on a server so all the other players can see it.

There's also a market to sell and create these avatars.

If you have access to run Lua on the client (which is by default turned off) you can easily steal avatars by poking around in the Lua client state. There's a big demand from the community to make this more difficult.

For reasons due to how the addon is designed as an WYSIWYG editor and all of this being Lua I don't think it's feasible to obfuscate avatars that are worn. The only solution that seems to work for those who are worried is to have a whitelist/blacklist system that decides which other players can see your worn avatars. Of course that won't stop malicious servers from snooping on the network traffic, but these people are skeptical of wearing their avatars in servers they don't trust.

Personally I'm a huge advocate for free software and I always encourage people to share their avatars, or at least parts of them so that other players can learn how to make things. I also made many myself that are public.

Universal Function Call Syntax goes both ways, Rust only offers to treat all of the things that seem like "methods" as free functions but not the reverse.

Under UFCS I could extend your Rust type by simply writing a new free function which matches the type, and this is in fact deliberately forbidden. (I can write the free function, but, doing so does not extend the type and I can't call it using the "method" syntax).

Conventionally you fill the hole with mud with the same density as the rock, avoiding this problem. You couldn’t drill into the inner core that way because it’s liquid, and maybe at some shallower depth you’d run out of candidate mud materials that will stay liquid at the relevant temperature, but given the right mud I think you could pass the Moho. So far, though, the problem is breaking drill strings.
It really depends on the style of music being played and the quality of the DJ.

I’ve heard some DJ really elevate tracks with the way they’ve mixed them. I myself would typically have two or more tracks playing at once (more than 3+ deck mixes when playing on vinyl turntables or up to 5 channels when playing from Ableton) and using that to layer percussion loops over older electronica and industrial tracks to make them sound fresher and more club friendly.

I’ve also heard some DJs completely ruin songs by badly mixing a sparsely engineered track (ie something set at a particular tempo but sounds a lot slower) after something heavier and more pounding, thus sucking the energy out of the second track.

Even with pop songs where there isn’t a whole lot you can actually do with them, I’ve heard some DJs take average or even bad pop songs and drop the hook between some really good songs and do so in a way that really compliments both. Resulting in the otherwise average pop song sounding better than it normally would if it were played in full.

Not to mention there’s DJs who spin their own remixes of tracks. DJs who seek out bootlegs. DJs who bring fx and synths to gigs. And all the other creative stuff going on beyond just spinning other peoples records.

I remember spending a few weeks trying to track down a song I’d heard on a mix tape one weekend, only to discover it was actually two different tracks. an instrumental electro with an a cappella layered over it. It sounded perfectly mixed as if it were originally released like that.

I also remember spending months tracking down a remix of Leftfield’s Space Shanty, which I heard then play on a Radio1 essential mix. Turned out that was a one off pressing they made for a few gigs in ‘93.

DJing is a really diverse scene and those that play the in bars of your local high street pub or the guys that entertain your drunk uncles at your sisters wedding are really only the upper most tip of the iceberg in terms of DJing.

This exhibits many of the classic signs you are in a cult - believing "crazy" things that non-cult-members would not believe, suspending rational thought processes and deferring to charismatic leader(s), and blaming objects of persecution for an unfeasibly wide range of issues (e.g. blaming the Fed for everything from the "breakdown of the family" to "the depletion of the soil of its nutrients").

The rest of the article exhibits many more classic indicators of cult membership - extreme obsessiveness with leader(s), any criticism or questioning characterized as persecution, special persecution of former members (Musk in the original article), denying it is a cult, etc.

> Nope, but they are important for the functioning of a society.

> but even the flawed ones are better to live in

Easily disproven by contradiction, specifically if by democracy you mean today's Western definition of it where anything is up for voting by any fool from the street. The Islamic Golden Age is a shining example of a prosperous nation that did not abide by today's Western definition of democracy. We have something called "Shurah" in Islam, which is a restricted form of opinion seeking and consultation of experts on the subject matter, a much more superior approach.

What's ironic is that today the West doesn't even follow its fabled democracy and freedom of expression. We've literally just witnessed the double standards in what happened in Canada in the past few weeks. Rules for thee but not for me as they say.

> the downsides for a wrong court decision become enormous

That is why in Islamic Law, punishments are fended off with any ounce of doubt. Today, the West threw out the baby with the bath water, where even in clear cut cases like the Boston Marathon bomber, or the countless other cases where confessions were had not under duress, the killers and serial rapists are left to live.

Fornication is having sex outside of marriage. Normalizing this behavior, as we see in the West today, leads to many casualties like the spread of STD's, teen pregnancies, destruction of families, call for so called "abortion rights", mixing of lineages, even siblings who don't know they're siblings grow up separate from each other and get attracted to each other, and countless other messes that are causing a decline in morality and dragging down society with it. It's known that sexual immorality produces new diseases that did not exist in previous nations, HIV being one clear example.

We don't have marry your rapist laws in Islam, so it's a non issue for us. As a matter of fact, a rapist is severely punished, and can be executed depending on the situation.

Yes, we value purity and virginity, not just for women, but for men as well. Honor killings are not part of Islam, and in fact, the punishment for and honor killing is to execute the killer.

> there were a few recent cases in countries as supposedly developed as Qatar and UAE of foreign women being convicted of it.

I heard about some of those cases, and they were not clear cut. e.g. the woman was drunk (another thing that should be prohibited and punished), so the testimony is difficult to prove. Ideally in such a scenario, both parties involved are to be punished.

Reported. This repository is clearly aimed at discriminating the whole nation of Russians who are a victim of dictatorship as much as Ukrainians are.

I know what I’m talking about: I’m Russian who has been protesting for 10 years. That resulted in nothing. If I keep protesting I’ll get in jail until I’m close to my pension. I don’t desire to sacrifice my life for nothing.

The fact that you think that Russians need a push to protest demonstrates that you’rea naive entitled person who was lucky enough to never face a dictatorship.

All Russians I know are against war. We can’t do shit and we feel hopeless as fuck.

> The issue is that the entire financial market is a bubble now, not only crypto, but stocks, credit (mortgage, student loans, all private debt really), real estate, etc.

That's correct. But that's nothing new. Major economic crises are a feature (not a bug) of the capitalist system and were already quite common in past centuries (plural). Remember when 1929 was supposed to be the very last crisis?

I agree with you it may have dire consequences but it all depends on the scenario. Economics (money + private property) is just a lousy/leaky abstraction to extract value from certain people are redirect it into other pockets, but if the entire system collapses, housing will not tear itself apart and fields won't stop growing.

If we as popular classes (those who produce value for the system to waste) are ready to organize without higher management and without greed (and without transnational supply chains who may be harder or undesirable to keep flowing), we may all well be better off in the medium term.

On a micro level, the VioMe factory in Greece is a good example of a destructive industry run for profit turning into a "greener" (all things considered) self-organized factory after the 2008 crisis. On a macro level, the spanish revolution of 1936 also showcases the power of the proletariat and what Graeber calls the "caring classes" (see CCC talk) to operate a radically-different society in a situation of crisis (in that case, a fascist coup d'état in some parts of the country).

So i agree with you we're in a bad place, as our dependence on fucked-up/polluting centralized processes and abstractions, and repression against autonomous/struggling communities have only increased in the past decades... but that's a cultural bias and there's in absolute no reason humanity (and the rest of the planet) can't fare much better without industrial capitalism, given a painful transition period.

It's also interesting to realize just how fucked up we are if we keep going in the same direction. "End:Civ" is an interesting documentary in this regard, although it's starting to be dated and the climate change situation has definitely gotten even worse since then. In that sense, and given that collapsing the entire economic apparatus looks more and more to be the only way to save literally millions of species, i think not all hope is lost if we were to crash the whole system.

My point was that you can have a conversation with a candidate instead of using arbitrary trivia that is irrelevant to the job and potentially irrelevant to the human you’re interviewing. If you want to find out about someone’s diversity of knowledge, I think “what’s the most esoteric tech you’ve worked with” or “tell me about a project that taught you the most” are vastly superior conversation starters than meta-tag trivia.

Calculating a road cross section area with a planimeter would take 5 minutes top, while doing the final analytical calculation manually (but already with a programmable calculator) took - including writing down the set of operations and partial results - more like 15-20 minutes (or even more, depending on the number of points in the section).

The set of axioms the theorem is about isn't even mentioned in the article. This is very important. If you pick the empty set as your axioms, most statements will be independent of them.

Not really sure how we got from there to here, but I continue to hold this up as an examples of how polite and rational conversation would have been a much better bet rather than calling me names. It isn't an argument, it doesn't have evidence behind it and it is drawing the conversation away from discussing the very real non-fictional issues. It also isn't true. Argument by allusion isn't reasonable.
I'm in the same boat and switched to Aeropress. It has marginally reduced my cholesterol in 3 months. My diet didn't change significantly in that time except that I started eating oatmeal regularly in the morning instead of granola. So totally unscientific, but I'm going to continue with the change.

Just be sure to use the paper filters and not the reusable metal ones. Only the paper filters remove the oils responsible for raised LDL.

A side benefit is that Aeropress coffee tastes great! I highly recommend it.
The problem with brinksmanship is that you have to be prepared to go through with the act you threaten and accept the consequences of it. Take Snake Island for example where the response was literally "fuck you". There were only 13 people defending the island yet Russia spent an enormous amount of money to level the place by naval bombardment rather than attacking by landing troops. Because ultimate the threat isn't hollow and the island itself is pretty worthless.

With threats of nuclear weapons it:

- Makes Putin and Russia look weak, they have to threaten literally the worst weapons they have to beat Ukraine.

- Actually using them might cause nuclear retaliation.

- Actually using them is going to absolutely cause an enormous international response and almost certainly remove any allies they have in the US etc.

- Actually using them is going to ruin a portion of the country you want to take owner.

Nuclear brinksmanship is a non-starter.
I very much agree that just blocking western IPs is far from a perfect (or even at all _good_) way, and I'm not saying that anyone there thinks that. I don't even think the goal is to perfectly block all westerners.

It's just enough to stop the average Joe from reading around out of curiosity, whyever they want that. I mean, it's still a public facing website after all, it's not like they're going to put anything of significant strategic value or whatever on there.

Also, to me the theory that they're doing this on purpose makes the most sense, because everything else would imply that somehow the IT team of the Russian military is somehow not able to fix this, and that some error or hacktivists caused this scenario, where western IPs get an almost unused HTTP status code and Russian IPs don't. Both just seems very unlikely to me.
