@fuknukl @ThatCrazyDude Well, it did last centuries.

@PNS The "Palestinians" that stayed in Israel during the 6 day war are very nice, and still Israeli citizens to this day. It is the ones that evacuated according to Arab demands that became homeless and progressively violent and unhinged to this day. (The very same Arab nations would not and will not take them in either.)

@PNS I'd speak at the church, and the message would be on "I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

@cjd I've been buying GL-inet devices. The cheapest are like $25USD. The most expensive I have sports 4G cell modem and a battery (hot spot for working from the woods).

At one point I used them for a batman-adv neighborhood mesh network. (All the members moved away...)

@fuknukl Why would anyone want to install Windoze?

@truthbait They're skeered of Islamists.

@PNS So that's where green ham comes from!

@PNS

The prevalence of 3, 6, 12 multipliers is why Thomas Fowler's wooden calculator used balanced ternary.

Irregular multipliers for place value actually leads to fewer mistakes. The problem with the metric system is that all the multipliers are 10 or powers of 10. This is a featureless landscape leading to misplaced decimals. Once it become familiar, the rugged landscape of 2,3,5,12,20,60 etc multipliers prevents this type of error within the covered value ranges. (Once you start talking about millions and billions and trillions of pounds/miles/etc you have the same problem as the metric system.)

@dwaem @troed @signalapp It matters when your services go down. The point is Signal should NOT be centralized. In fact, just use Linphone (or any SIP client) with cryptomesh IPv6 (cjdns/yggdrasil/pinecone/etc) for the equivalent of Signal. Your CGA IPv6 is your "phone number". With an actual decentralized protocol, it doesn't matter how many people are down - the ones still up can still talk to each other.

When matrix.org went down, the Synapse Admins room was discussing the issue - because matrix.org going down just means accounts on that instance (admittedly a lot) are down.

@Electronwarrior @PNS "Do not pollute the land where you live, for bloodshed pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land on which the blood is shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it." - Number 35:33

@PNS It's covered in detail - you might not like the provisions. If it's rape, death by stoning for the rapist. If the child was properly groomed and "consensual" and heterosexual, then the male must pay the full bride price and marry the girl - unless the father objects - in which case he still pays the full bride price but does not get the girl.

For male on male consensual - they both get stoned. Seems harsh, but keeps the abuse from propagating.

If the girl/woman is already married and it's consensual (guidelines on how to determine this are given) - then both are stoned.

In practice, they would only stone the woman, not the man. But the Law explicitly says *both* are to be stoned. Notably, the woman caught in adultery in John 7:53-8:11 was "caught in the very act", i.e. the man was right there, but they did not bring him in for stoning.

@cjd Big Endian is the Right Way™. It's how we write numbers. Intel and other Little Endian CPUs have always been very annoying.

@TechLibre Two swords.

“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.” So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

Luke 22:36-38

Part of the reason was to underline, "I lay down my life of my own accord. No man takes it from me." Also, swords were forbidden for slaves - carrying swords showed them to be free men.

@grimmy @pidgin With a smaller project (pymilter), no money for sure. But respect and contributions, yes. And that's what I expected.

@truthbait We certainly need a DOJ head far more aggressive than Pam Bondi.
