Isn't ice the implementation of exactly what you're suggesting a new force be? They're already federal law enforcement.

This advice is not for everyone.

Categorizing yourself in a way that may purposefully stunt your growth and reduce opportunity for growth is a wasteful use of life.

No, what they're saying is what they said, what you're implying reveals a strange bias. Web scraping through residential proxies? Please think through your thoughts more. There's much more effective and efficient ways to do so. Multiple bad actors, like ransomware affiliates, have been caught using residential proxy networks. But by all means, don't let facts and cyber threat intelligence get in the way.

This is a stunning false equivalency and is an irresponsible comparison.

You need it to be 200ms not 2 seconds

Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) is the term you need to look into. Playing back what someone says to you back at them with a 200ms delay is literally a brain Denial of Service.

New comment by Craighead in "How Tube Amplifiers Work"

Craighead — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 08:20:40 +0000

Let me rewrite that without the condescending tone: Artists that output sound invest time and money into crafting how they are heard. Is there tube amp elitism? Absolutely. Do tube amps "sound better"? I dunno. But clearly the market for them and the demand for inefficient circuits that sound different than more efficient circuits stays seemingly consistent and may even go up.

Please stop doing: "They all do this it's normal"

No, they don't "all do this". No, it's not normal.

the vast majority of the law systems surrounding the global west are rooted in Christianity. you need to pause for a moment and stop equating religion with evil.

see how you have to pivot into a false binary equivalency in order to make your point?

these people are boring, words spent talking about nothing is akin to throwing fresh food away, I'm not a psychologist and I have my own problems, why should I have to listen to others drone on about nothing when we could be working together to fix either or both of our issues.

Yes yes the boring and repeated argument of "why improve anything when things will fail on their own"

Please try something new, I'm so curious as to why this logical fallacy gets repeated ad nauseam

/24 means that the first 24 bits are the subnetwork mask, ie: xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.NNN, where the x represent the network and the N represent hosts on said network.

192.168.1.x/24 and 192.168.2.x/24 are two separate networks.
