I would have answered Shelley Duvall or Sigourney Weaver… then again, we barely had a phone we I was young.

Well wait a second, they found out what caused the pharaohs curse? That’s awesome!

Well I guess I’m one of the lucky 10.000 then.

I read one paper behind these claims, and it is interesting? Definitely a wild rabbit hole if you are so inclined. Some highlights:

Paedophiles also have lower self-reported height than do hebephiles or teleiophiles (Cantor et al., 2007),

The paper then asserts absolute height is a measure of health.

The distinction they make is interesting. They discern between:

— Right- handedness

— left- handedness

— mixed handedness

and — ambigous handedness

In summary, paedophiles demonstrated high rates of non-right-handedness, … whereas those who had a sexual preference for pubescent children evidenced increased ambiguous-handedness. Analysis of LQ scores indicative of ambiguous-handedness demonstrated that this was the correct classification as opposed to mixed-handedness.

Results support a view of ambiguous-handedness as less pathological than previously hypothesized, …

Rates of left-handedness in most neurologically typical populations are at or below about 11% (Perelle & Ehrman, 1994).

teleiophiles [offenders targeting adults(17+ in this research] were not entirely typical. … with a rate of … 7.4% left-handedness.

Paedophiles, however, demonstrated an accentuation of atypical lateral preference, with an elevated rate of … left-handedness (14.6%) …

Seems like solid research, but some of the results and assertions are … well. Let me put it this way: I would like to see more research. It points to an interesting direction (criminal offenders beeing developmentally delayed), but I would like to know if a differently sourced population exhibits the same traits.

Wait you can tag people here? How?

Archive.org has you covered.

Nothing really interesting just a user stating it has happened to them.

I would call that a collapse of communication, but I understand what you mean. I agree that stopping to work on oneself and/or disassociating from your partner in a relationship is a huge betrayal and all around shitty behavior. Thanks for clarifying. I’m totally with you on that.

BTW I once woke someone up to their behavior during a screaming match where I shouted “Why are you like this, we a supposed to be on the same side! Both of us against the problem, not whatever you’re doing.” Well at least I think these were my words, there might have been a lot more swear words … But that was successful only one time, so …

Well I dimly remember after the 30 year war (? It was a long time ago I learned about this, could have been the restoration after the Napoleonic wars) the church gave up vast swathes of Land in exchange for a set amount of dividends from the state.

But given that was after a drawn out tumultuous war, so I see your point.

So… more deceit? I’ve had uhmmm enough contact with all sexes in my time, and found “a relationship is a means to an end” type behavior in too many of my fellow humans. Also when they will not stop sliding into shittier and shittier behavior it usually means they were shitty from the start, but their mask is slipping.

Still amazes me, the many, many people seeing felationships as purely transactional.

Edit: lol, the typo stays.

Just last week I was re-patching some nasty piece of business logic at a client for a day and remembered the application “Filter Top” from the nineties, where I solved a similar (but slightly simpler) problem on a far inferior less advanced platform in a few minutes with a GUI even.

Return to monke. I’m with you.

Well like all lunatic right wing theories this has a kernel of truth. He just needs to strike Jewish, and the purpose is even more money.

From personal experience the "you’re overthinking it, its just class warfare nothing else and that is bad enough " was to me the more effective way of pulling well meaning generally liberal/left leaning people back from the edge of the lunatic to fascism pipeline. I once made the mistake of doing “yes and (the Jesuits and the Medici)” in an ill advised attempt at humor. That person is not in my life anymore. It was far too comfortable being a hateful lunatic around me.

Wouldn’t the shareholders, who profit far more off any company than any CEO be a better target? Of taxation and eventual deposition (taxing them out of existence), of course, I do not care about violence.

Wouldn’t something like a T1000 (50w/8GB) be okay? I know I use a much older matrox card (30w?/ w/ even lower TDP) for this purpose. It’s not great, but it transcodes in hardware.

Just a possibility: Check if the m2 slot is for disk. There are many boards where there are WiFi exclusive m2 ports. For disks there are also m2 sata and m2 nvme port variations. You need to find out what yours are. Consult your motherboards technical documentation if in doubt. If the BIOS can boot from it, Linux can too.

Edit: that beeing said I never encountered problems with a similar setup ( I boot from Linux on nvme m2 then there is a combined windows /data disk)

In typical MS fashion this might be very hard to debug with the hundreds of interacting components./s

In all seriousness they reviewed their internal docs not even the code (likely because it’s extremely complex) and said fixing this would brake existing functionality. I think “some cases” is doing heavy lifting for “we know many cases, but won’t tell the bad guys out there”.

“We originally looked at a code change for this issue, but after further review of design documentation, changes to code could break compatibility with functionality used by many applications.”

Year of the Linux (Server|Desktop). Seriously. If you are in IT pls look into this (and hide your RDP server behind some VPN. No not MS RDP Gateway.)

I used a Fairphone 4 with /e/ and it was good. Not great, but useable. I expect the hardware bugs I ran into (using the camera only worked like 20 times before the phone needed a restart, Bluetooth randomly not working) to be ironed out by now. Currently on an old Samsung and it is more solid, but I also liked the environmentalism with the fairphone. Anyone with a Fairphone 5 and something like a glucose sensor thats in constant use?

Yea thats how my spouses laptop ended up with fedora and our main/gaming PC ended up with Nobara. For some reason certain distros and certain configurations do not go well with each other.

4090s are what price now? Didn’t keep track, I’m astonished. never thought I’d see the day when Apples RAM pricing is seen as competitive.

Just FYI: The “Mac Studio” when equipped with 32-core M3Ultra processors can have up to 512GB of RAM.

It costs like 15k after taxes, so not exactly the scope of this thread, but it exists.

Sorry to burst your bubble but there is quite a bit of sewage on crop action
