Republicans Will Try For Third Time To Pin Ukraine Corruption On Joe Biden

Reply in thread

Closed door meeting with no transcript. As far as I know we still don't know what was discussed fully, but we can make a guess by what happened after the meeting and what the GOP started peddling. Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.) and John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas). A report came out shortly after confirming russia had interfered with the 2016 election to aid trump in getting elected

Helldivers 2 is now PlayStation's biggest PC launch by a factor of two

The kernel level access anti cheat is a pass for me, the company running it has had breaches before proving it isn't secure and there have been instances where breaches like that allowed a bunch of people to get ransomware on their PCs. I would only play it on playstation 5 if I had one but there is zero chance of putting that on my PC that has all kinds of sensitive information like banking and personal ID stuff. Real shame because I loved the first game.

How social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit

Reply in thread

Left reddit recently bc of the toxicity, massive noticeable uptick across most subs. Blatant racism, homophobia and hate in general with next to zero moderation. The ads were just cancer(without a blocker) with the sponsored "he gets us" ones being unblockable and funded by a christian hate group prominently showing up constantly. Kbin has been an alright replacement minus the server issues recently

Evangelical leader accuses pope of creating "division" with LGBTQ+ views

Punishment for heresy is excommunication, used to be a fine and or imprisonment and sometimes to be burnt alive. Bible says to warn them twice then ignore them entirely ostracizing them from society. If they were real christens they should be canceling each other for biblical wrong think. Its hilarious that people who dont follow the faith, regularly know more about what the bible says then people who are adamant "followers".

The world's semiconductor industry hinges on a single quartz factory in North Carolina

Reply in thread

I used to work for a foreign company in the US that made this stuff. All the crucibles were made out of graphite, never saw a quartz crucible, maybe they are used in the making of them via ingredient or mold, or maybe they produce a different quality of silicon. We "grew" the silicon into these big (ranging from 2-4ish ft long) cylinder like crystals where they would be shipped off to another area to be sliced into thin wafers for chips. The crucibles were good for maybe I think under 100 runs before they needed to be replaced if they didn't fail before that.

Las Vegas campus shooting leaves three dead, one in critical condition

Reply in thread

They are in my yard regularly with their young. We have had them give birth in my backyard repeatedly and its not uncommon to have these huge animals wander into the city outskirts sometimes. Not everyone lives in a city that is devoid of large wildlife. There are plenty of people who live out on the edge of wilderness who also need to worry about bears that you totally skipped past (had a few wander through where I live a couple of times I'm aware of and I would say I'm closer to city outskirts then wilderness proper). There are also several communities in my state who rely on local hunting and fishing for food, something else you are ignoring. Realize there are other people living vastly different lives then what you know instead of making outlandish personal attacks like a child

Declassified US Intelligence Reveals Massive Russian Losses in Ukraine

Reply in thread

Some are lost, buried under collapsed trenches/bunkers or sink into bogs/marshes. The rest, if Ukraine controls the area loads them up into train cars to ship back to russia for identification and burial though russia isn't accepting them last I heard, would look bad for them. Russia controlled areas they leave them on the ground to rot or pile up the corpses and burn them making later identification next to impossible.
