@thendrix It essentially means racism being used to sway public opinion to commie fallacies. It was the same with the AWB or the stupid import laws.
Inexpensive firearms are polarized by the public. The Glock shouldn't be considered an SNS as it is not inexpensive. Oddly enough I think their first try at the US market was in 380 but it was deemed not safe.
@PawelK @amoroso I'll have to look into that. NASA just successfully tested a Rotary Detonation Rocket. It's like 4% more efficient but the velocity of the exhaust gases is supersonic. It uses Tesla Valves too.
Pulse jets could potentially be used in a similar arrangement for an absurdly sturdy jet engine. A Rotary Pulse Jet would be pretty cool. Something about harmonics and dampening. I'm just speculating but it would seem to have two power levels available. It can be off or it can be used at full output with the timed pulses blending together for over lapping pulses.
@PawelK @amoroso If it was written in a VLIW assembly language like that of Hexagon, it could be much smaller. Then again the Hexagon example was from the manufacturer and compared it against the alleged RISC equivalent.
There's a reason why x86 is used to teach ASM, it stays mostly the same and it is useful. VLIW is a savant with some variants running RISC code as a means to be useful. RISC would be fantastic to learn the importance of assemblers and compilers.
The reason why x86 can do all of this is that it has code back from when computers computed things and had to do it efficiently.
@thendrix Perhaps not that definition.
@PawelK @Viking @Therealdcgirl@noagendasocial.com I just saw that it was Америка. I laugh at Romanian memes while remembering the pot holes on our highways.
I remember a video about dysfunctional Ukraine breaking road surfaces to fix other important road surfaces. In the US we use concrete. A couple of new bridges were built near me and they immediately failed inspection requiring demolition and building new bridges.
@thendrix Plasma and Vector Force warnings are in effect but not understood. Idiocracy might have predicted the future.

i liked transformers as a kid. you liked Transformers as a kid. we are not the same.

talked to a friend today about maybe designing a stage keyboard, but it's me who knows how to do that stuff, so he'd have to fund prototypes. and he's not independently wealthy, sooo...
@thor Impulsivity is what screws me over the most.
@thor Plus the nutritional value of the skin is important. Out of context I sound like Buffalo Bill.
@thor It's free real estate.
@thendrix It would become bottom heavy so the problem would be resolved.
@thor ALSO the old synthesizers just sound amazing. Like caveman make fire. New fire is not like old fire. Old fire better.

this resurgence of everything analog and 8-bit wasn't something i expected. you shouldn't underestimate the power of childhood nostalgia, i guess. i have a lot of knowledge about how all of that stuff works and could easily design new electronics that makes use of it. i had just never expected there to be a market for something like that, but now there is...
@thor I remember Pico 8 being on my Pocket CHIP. At the time I was intrigued by such a concept. I've seen it even extend to PS1 and N64.
One positive part of the masses taking a hit from a nostalgia pipe is the concept of minimalism. Seeing a Raspberry Pi blinking a LED light as part of a project is infuriating to me. Using an Arduino UNO is at least 4 times better.
Furthermore, projects like Mister utilizing a powerful FPGA actually recreate systems is reassuring. It only devolves to a state where actual innovations are made. All of this provides access to young programmers so the ends justified the means.
@PawelK It could become another Russia. I don't think the end will be the end.
@PawelK Damn war. Ukraine will have quite the military after this ends. Hopefully they will not try to annex other countries.
