2024.05.12 03:53 Free_the_Radical Aurora Watch for Sunday Night
Hi Folks, well that was quite the show last night. Just a quick update as I have to go out for Ma's day lunch.
There are still two large CME's that have yet to hit from Friday afternoon's X3.9 flare and yesterday's X5.9.
Solar wind speeds are very high and the X5.9 is coming in like a freight train andlikely to may catch up and combine with the X3.9. These two flares are not quite the direct hit we saw last night.
Given all that there is a chance that we will start getting activity after around10 9pm tonight, cloud permitting ofc. But that is a bit of a guess timing wise.
At this stage it is very hard to say whether it will be as strong as last night and things have subsided, but our Earth's magnetic field is still holding a lot of charge from recent events and it may not take much to kick things off again.

A note on the following link:
You want the blackline increasing (Bt) and the red line decreasing (Bz) for an aurora to show.
The purple line (Solar wind speed) should tick up prior to a storm arriving and is good indicator that things are about to kick off.
https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/real-time-solar-wind
Edit1: For those asking for locations I think you can gauge a pretty good idea from the shots people took last night. I was surprised at the shots that came in from the metro beaches. For optimum you want a clear view of the Southern horizon with as little light pollution as possible. Sorry folks but I am not going to answer where is the best place questions and will let other users pipe in on that one.
I only ended up at Aldinga early in the night because it was convenient and in fact then did a jaunt to Parsons but it was clouded over by the time I arrived, Doh! should have done my cloud research a little better out in the field and taken my own advice.
Cloud wise tonight is going to be hit and miss again, here is BOM's live sat viewer but also use the Ventusky link above for forecasts. Ventusky also has a pretty damned good satellite viewer.
http://satview.bom.gov.au/
As for timing tonight the X5.9 is racing to catch up with the X3.9 but may not make it in time. So the X3.9 will likely arrive after sunset and the X5.9 a few hours after. But again we won't know till we start seeing a rise in the solar wind speed and Bt values (particularly looking for strong -Bz values).
Edit2: Things are looking pretty dull out there, now it is just a waiting game.
This image is updated every minute or so, so refresh to get the current Auroral activity.
Lead time on the image is usually around 1/2 an hour.
https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/aurora-forecast-southern-hemisphere.jpg
Edit3: There is a pair of NASA satellites called STEREO A and B that give us a bit more lead in time, given that they are much closer to our Sun than us down here on Earth. A&B have just started to show positive readings.
https://stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov/browse/2024/05/12/insitu.shtml
Edit4: 7:25pm Solar wind speed has just started to pick up, summat's a coming.
Edit5: thanks u/AlembicRhymes for the update from PacMan Space Weather, see the comment below.
I'm gonna try and sign off for now (I had a rather late night last night). All the best folks.

2024.05.11 02:06 Claija79 Matjaz Kek, Slovenia’s CT: “Milan's interest on Sesko?: It's not a question for me. The question is whether he will decide to change clubs. Speed, physique and goals. Sesko is very Milan-like. What I can say with certainty is that whoever gets him gets a bargain. Sesko is not one to disappoint.”
On why Sesko is worth 50 million:”We are talking about a physically strong centre forward. And he is also making great progress from a technical point of view, month after month. In Leipzig he grew exponentially, becoming more mature in his game choices. His qualities remain two: physical strength and speed. And we saw that this year in the Bundesliga.”
On Milan's interest: “It's not a question for me. Let me explain: I am happy with how he is growing at Leipzig and as a player in general. In this way he becomes more and more important for Slovenia as well. The question is whether he will decide to change clubs. Speed, physique and goals. Sesko is very Milan-like. What I can say with certainty is that whoever gets him gets a bargain. Sesko is not one to disappoint.”
On the goals he could score with Leao and Pulisic: “I know where he wants to go, but I can only say that Benjamin is a humble, respectful boy with an incredible desire to improve. He doesn't leave the pitch if he hasn't completed an exercise. Milan is a colossus of European and world football. A team that deserves absolute respect. It doesn't surprise me that they are interested in him.”
Is he better as a first striker or in tandem with someone else?: “It depends on the team he plays in. For me he excels in both, he is an ambitious worker. In Leipzig, as well as in the national team, he has raised the level so much. And he's doing great. Although he is 21 years old, he has the maturity of a 30-year-old. In the European Championship qualifying matches he did very well paired with another striker, Andraz Sporar, for example.”
On who Sesko reminds him of: “He reminds me of... Benjamin Sesko. A 20-year-old who is making great strides in European football. A guy who I hope remains as he is, that is, that the world of football is still a passion for him, as well as a profession. Comparing him to anyone else doesn't seem fair to me, so let me say that for me he is simply Sesko.”

2024.05.07 15:45 inner1001 [Partially Lost] Team Fortress Classic Beta
Team Fortress Classic (TFC) is a first-person shooter game developed by Valve Software and published by Sierra Studios. It was originally released as a multiplayer mod for Half-Life) in April 7 1999.
Recently was discovered there also was the beta build, that was released several weeks before official release. In particular it was available for download on PlanetFortress/FilePlanet website (1, 2) in late March 1999. This files also spread on many other places, such as local ftp servers (3, 4, 5) and fan sites (6, 7, 8). But despite that, as we aware of, this build was lost.
But maybe someone else still has the files, even if they don't realize it. We looking for the either of one of the three important files:
Also, we have information that Valve had another leak in early 2000, and it went almost unnoticed. There are speculations that back then fans download a lot of games and assets from compromised FTP server and one of those includes a build of cenceled Team Fortress sequel called the "Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms". If you have any information about this leak, or materials from it, contact me.

2024.05.07 00:15 sufinomo A response to every deceptive argument that Zionists use against Palestine
- Zionists claim that the Nakba was not an ethnic cleansing, and that the current assault on Gaza is not an ethnic cleansing.The united nations has described both as an ethnic cleansing. The definition of ethnic cleansing is forceful removal of a certain group from the land, which certainly describes the Nakba and Gaza. The Zionists commited several attacks on Palestenian villages and killed many people. This all played a role in their exit of the land.

The first prime minster of Israel even said that his goal was ethnic cleansing of the arabs:
https://www.progressiveisrael.org/ben-gurions-notorious-quotes-their-polemical-uses-abuses/
5 October 1937, Ben-Gurion wrote in a letter to his 16 year old son Amos: “We must expel the Arabs and take their places…. And, if we have to use force-not to dispossess the Arabs of the Negev and Transjordan, but to guarantee our own right to settle in those places- then we have force at our disposal.”“We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population? ‘Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said ‘ Drive them out! ‘ “Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979.
“We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return.”David Ben-Gurion, in his diary, 18 July 1948, quoted in Michael Bar Zohar’s Ben-Gurion: the Armed Prophet, Prentice-Hall, 1967, p. 157.
In 1899 Zionists declared their goal to colonize palestine.
https://www.nytimes.com/1899/06/20/archives/conference-of-zionists-elect-delegates-at-their-meeting-in.html
- ZIonists claim that arabs have equal rights to jews in the land, and that for them this proves it is not apartheid. This is a lie from the zionists. Jews have a special right called the right to return, the right to return allows jews from any nation to get a free citizenship easily, and it even gives them a palestenians home that the person is still living in, this is known as settlers. The settlers could be from any country, but they not only get a citizenship but they are allowed to violently displace palestenians from a home they currently live in. There are many cases of this happening. OCHA reported, from 1 January to 19 September 2023, Israeli settlers and forces killed 189 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and wounded 8,192. This is not only legal but encouraged by the ISraeli government because it is meant to express their dominance.
- Zionists claim that Hamas is the only one at fault when any Palestenians die in the conflict. No matter what happens Zionists will never ever take any responsibility for any issues in this conflict. Their goal is to depict themselves as the civilized peaceful people, while Palestenians are the savages who refuse peace. They often do this by blaming Hamas for everything. The reality that Zionists will not tell you is that Hamas was irrelevant until the mid 2000s. They were not founded until late 1980s, and the group that they came out of had no military power. Israel saw them as a non threat to their goals, and they even decided to fund them because they thought itd be a powerful tactic against the more powerful groups.
https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/
The times of Israel even describes hamas as Netanyahus project.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
Thats why the people on this subreddit who are paid money to defend israel (becaause nobody would do that for free), will often use Hamas as the excuse for everything. Because the people that pay them obviously use the same rhetoric foundation that Netanyahu built which is to blame everything on hamas. Even though Hamas is a bunch of irrelevant random people with random weapons. Even if Hamas didnt exist somebody would aquire weapons to fight against the IDF.
The reality is that there is no hamas presence in the west bank, yet the people there live under Israels checkpoints and bullying by their IDF. You can read about it here, and other sources. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/22/how-does-israels-occupation-of-palestine-work
Israel treats people a way in west bank, that will show you that this all has nothing do with Hamas. They treat people so poorly in the west bank that it shows that Hamas is clearly just an excuse to justify any action taken against Palestenians.
In fact Israel was fully aware of the attack coming on october 7th but chose to ignore it. This is likely because they wanted it to happen, and were happy to sacrifice their citizens for the sake of justifying a total destruction and ethnic cleansing of the people of Gaza.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html#:~:text=Israeli%20officials%20obtained%20Hamas's%20battle,for%20Hamas%20to%20carry%20out.
This is why their rhetoric after oct 7th was extremely aggressive, they thought that the attack would be easy to use to justify any actions against Gaza people. They thought western people would be very happy to support the destruction of Gaza because the october 7th. They were surpised to find that people did not like seeing babies and kids dying as a payback for this one attack.
Lastly its important to mention that Israel uses the Palestenians election of hamas to justify ethnic cleansing. Their argument is meant to conclude that because Palestenians support an evil group therefore they must all die. The problem is that this election took place almost 20 years ago, and a Majority of Palestenians alive today did not participate in this election!
5- Genocide, Zionists dont like this term, but the thing about a genocide is that there is a process. There are 10 recognized stages of genocide https://museeholocauste.ca/en/resources-training/ten-stages-genocide/. I will be using these descriptions below:
- Classification
This is certainly happening. For example the Israeli government described Palestenians as animals, and Netanyahu compared them to Amalek who were genocided in the bible. The south Africa case against Israel included many of these sorts of statements, because they understand that Genocide begins with rhetoric, just like the Nazis started it that way. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/1/14/intent-in-the-genocide-case-against-israel-is-not-hard-to-prove
.
3. Discrimination
A dominant group uses laws, customs, and political power to deny the rights of other groups. The powerless group may not be granted full civil rights or even citizenship.
The right to return being an exclusively jewish right is an example of discrimination. This lists 7 laws that discriminate between Israelis and Arabs.
https://imeu.org/article/the-7-most-racist-israeli-laws
- The Jewish Nation-State Law
- The Law of “Return”
- The Admissions Committee Law
- Absentee Property Law and Land Acquisition Law
- Israel Lands Law
- The Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law
- The Nakba Law
Researchers have identified 65 laws which discriminate against arabs in Israel
https://www.adalah.org/en/law/index
The settlers taking peoples land is enough to prove apartheid.
4. Dehumanisation
The diminished value of the discriminated group is communicated through propaganda. Parallels are drawn with animals, insects or diseases.
I have shown you an example of Palestenians being compared to a disease and animals in the rhetoric. Netanyahu also called Palestenian children the children of darkness. The South African case has brought many of these examples to the court.
6. Polarisation
Propaganda is employed to amplify the differences between groups. Interactions between groups are prohibited, and the moderate members of the group in power are killed.
There are examples of jews who oppose zionism and they are typically bullied by zionists.
9. Extermination
The massacres begin. The perpetrators see their actions as “extermination” since they do not consider their victims to be entirely human.
the indiscriminate bombing by israel
https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/13/politics/intelligence-assessment-dumb-bombs-israel-gaza/index.html
https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-bomb-campaign-gaza-hamas-war-defense-army/
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/13/world/middleeast/us-criticizes-israel-for-indiscriminate-bombing-in-gaza.html
https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/13/politics/intelligence-assessment-dumb-bombs-israel-gaza/index.html#:~:text=Nearly%20half%20of%20the%20air,a%20new%20US%20intelligence%20assessment.
Zionists claim that Israel does not target civilians, but there is plenty of evidence of this happening. They almost excuseively target civilians. The United States themselves who fears Israel has critisized them for indiscriminate bombing. Meaning that they are not careful about who they are targeting.
Its important to note that there are some jews who were part of the Nazi army, and supported the Nazis. The idea that Arabi Israelis existence changes whether or not its genocide are apartheid is simply a debate tactic used by zionists.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-jew-who-worked-for-the-nazis-and-hunted-down-refugees-in-wwii-greece/
https://www.brandeis.edu/jewish-experience/history-culture/2023/february/holocaust-jewish-courts.html
Some jews even participated in Nazi army.
With these facts in mind, most accept as common knowledge today that persons of Jewish descent were the most endangered people under Htler, and when considering the Nazi definition of who was a “full Jew,” they would be right. Yet, what many do not know is that probably several thousand Jews—and more than 150,000 “partial” Jews—served in the Wehrmacht, Germany’s military.https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/hitlers-jewish-soldiers/
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-12-24-mn-12209-story.html
The michling were half jews, there were several that participated in the nazi party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischling
You can imagine a typical argument from nazis being "jews participated in the nazi army therefore it wasnt a genocide".
6- Claims that the muslims want to genocide all jews. First of all jews lived in the muslim lands for over 1000 years. They lived all over the muslim lands in various different countries. Sometimes there may have been issues between them but for the most part Zionists will try to exaggerate this to justfiy their own genocides.
For example Jews had a golden age of culture in islamic spain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_age_of_Jewish_culture_in_Spain#:~:text=The%20golden%20age%20of%20Jewish,cultural%2C%20and%20economic%20life%20flourished.
SOme jews still live in the middle east today despite the fact that they could easily go live in Israel and take a palestenians home for free if they wanted, and get good benefits paid for by US tax payers.
In fact the Muslims were the ones who allowed the jews back into jerusalem. This is a fact that Zionists will never accept.

Similarly, his contemporary Salmon ben Yeru]:lim, in his Arabic commentary toPs. xxx: wrote' ... as we know, th**e temple remained in thehands of the Romans for more than 500 years and they did not succeed inenteringJerusalem; and anyone who did and was recognised [as a Jew] wasput to death. But when the Romans left it, by the mercy of the God ofIsrael, and the kingdom oflshmael was victorious, Israel was permitted tocome and to live ... '**72[84] Until now we have seen that the Karaite commentators confirmwhat we know from the Christian sources, that it was forbidden to Jews toenter Jerusalem, and they point out that the Muslims changed this situation when they captured the city. The author of the 'Mysteries of RabbiShimon Bar Yo}:lai' also writes: 'The second king who will rise fromIshmael [that is to say, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab] will be a lover oflsrael andwill repair their cracks and the cracks of the temple'. AJewish chronicle, afragment of which is preserved in the Cairo Geniza, also confirms that itwas 'Umar who gave permission to the Jews to settle in Jerusalem and onthe basis of his decision seventy Jewish families came from Tiberias andsettled there.
So the muslims are the ones who allowed the jews back into Jerusalem after 500 years of exile, if islams goal was to genocide all jews like the zionists claim, then they certainly wouldnt lift a ban on their entry into their most important city. You can read on all of the conflict between jews and christians, the romans and the jews. They were not treated well by them for a very long time. According to muslim historians from that period, the jews under roman occupation viewed the muslims as liberating them from the romans.
7- I want to address the claim that israel is just defending themselves.
The first prime minster of Israel said :
“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.”
— David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.
“We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return.”
David Ben-Gurion, in his diary, 18 July 1948, quoted in Michael Bar Zohar’s Ben-Gurion: the Armed Prophet, Prentice-Hall, 1967, p. 157.
“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?”
David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.
Its clear that you cannot be a conquerer while being the victim defending yourself. Its not defense if you are conquering other people. If you look at the https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-and-non-jewish-population-of-israel-palestine-1517-present population growth of jews in Palestenine it grows because of the exlusion from europe. This caused conflict, and even though jews were only 30 percent of the population the united nations offered them over 60 percent of the land. Therefore the arabs declined because they were 68 percent of the population, so they thought it wasnt a fair deal to only recieve around 35 percent of the land. The zionists often use the rejection of "peace" as a way to depict Palestenians as savages who cant be dealt with. The reality is that the land they inhabited was going to be taken away from them, and it was a vast majority of the land. Not a fair or peaceful deal from their perspective. This is why people today often view Israel as merely an extension of british colonialism, because they were allied .
- last thing I want to refute is the notion that Israelis are exclusively indegenous to the land. The reality is that Palestenians dna is indegenous to the land. It is very possible that some Palestenians ancestors may have been jews who converted to islam. There are many sources which confirm that Palestenian dna is not from saudi arabia like the Zionists claim. Therefore the claim that Zionists are exclusively indiegnous to the land is false.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11543891/
9-Last thing I want to talk about is Israelis power over the united states. Users here try to claim that it has no power at all. First of all congress voted to censure tlaib and omar for being against israel.
https://apnews.com/article/congress-house-censure-resolution-tlaib-8085189047a4c40f2d44ada4604aa076
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/us/politics/ilhan-omar-genocide-jews-columbia.html
The fact that they all agreed to do this shows how powerful Israel is. We also see the govt making laws that would make it illegal to critisize Israel which breaks freedom of speech.,
Usa has given 300 billion in total to israel
https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts
In 1997 and 1999, a survey was conducted for us govt members and it concluded that AIpac was the 2nd strongest lobby in the usa. In 2001 ir ranked fifth, this is very significant because this was during the war on terror. It means that these wars may have been influenced by the Israeli lobby.

https://inthesetimes.com/article/poll-aipac-losing-influence
https://merip.org/2007/06/the-israel-lobby-in-perspective/
There are other Israeli lobbys such as jstreetpac. Many candidates today recieve funding from one of the Israeli lobbys. Trump said that Israel used to own congress, which means that they were certainly viewed as powerful for a long time.
2024.05.02 22:17 johnnybiggles Have you been following the NYC Trump criminal trial? Why or why not? What are your thoughts on it, either way, based on your answer?
I ask because the J6 Committee hearings went largely unwatched, discounted and dismissed by much, if not most of the right because it was labeled as being extremely partisan, political theater, etc., even though the committee itself was bipartisan, and most of the witnesses who testified during the hearings were Republicans or Trump staffers, associates and even members (or former members) of his inner circle.
Understandably, it was political in nature, since it was a political body holding these hearings... but the testimony - like any other Congressional hearing - was an official, on-the-record accounting of something, meaning, whether true or false, 1) testimony was recorded for the permanent record under oath and which could be held legally liable against criminal perjury charges - compelled testimony (subpoenaed) was also held to the law, criminally, as several witnesses found out; 2) official evidence was submitted and could be used in courts of law outside of the Congressional hearing; 3) lawyers - not the Congressional committee members themselves - were the ones doing most of the leg work, interviews and coordination, ensuring the Congressional process (official proceeding) was lawful and fair; and 4) criminal charges could formally be recommended or submitted to the DOJ and other judicial offices for further review, based on the investigation's conclusions, and finally, legislation could be drawn up to enact new policies from it.
In my experience, because many Trump supporters discounted, dismissed or ignored most of it, they either failed to understand the entire story, as well as the sub-narratives and evidence provided, which weren't, at all, partisan in nature (facts)... or, they were somewhat surprised when hard evidence or testimony was presented from it that aligned with what they did know about it, which they had denied or hadn't known about all along (filling in some gaps).
To a similar effect, this trial (along with the other 3 upcoming) is often labeled as "political", and I'm sure it's being ignored and dismissed just the same for that reason.
Now... while this criminal trial isn't being televised, there are reporters inside the court room documenting events and testimony in real time on their websites, X and Threads, etc., and there are transcripts, motions/decisions and evidence submissions available publicly, and of course, news coverage before, during and after each day of testimony.... so it might as well be live, for all intents and purposes. There really isn't much of an excuse to ignore it for availability's sake, if you have any interest in following it or in what the result will likely be. Ignorance can't be an excuse.
That all said, have you been following? Why or why not? Is there something that can be clarified by someone who has been following? Do you have questions and want to know something before it comes up in the trial? Is there a procedural or legal question or two you have? Do you view this as "political"? Did you before if you don't now? Even if you do view it as "political", do you think that matters now? Why or why not?
What are your thoughts at this point (day 10) of the trial? Where do you see it heading?
TL;DR: The J6 committee hearings went largely ignored by the right only for some to find out there was some there there, and that it wasn't as partisan as some news outlets let on. Politics tends to stop in court and under oath where words matter. The same might happen with this case, if you're not already following. Are you following? Why, or why not?

2024.04.26 14:17 Ok_Pay6836 Sefirat HaOmer - Day 4
Posting before Shabbat starts here in Israel:
Lou Gehrig was not Jewish, but if you watched Pride of the Yankees or read Jonathan Eig’s biography of Lou (Luckiest Man), you might get the impression that Lou’s mother (Anna Christina) was a bit of a Jewish mother. Lou did live on Amsterdam Avenue in Washington Heights, only 10 blocks from Yeshiva University.
Lou Boudreau wore #5 for most of his career with the Indians, but he wore #4 for the Red Sox in 1951-52 (Vern Stephens was wearing #5). So? We all “know” that the only Jewish Hall of Famers are Greenberg and Koufax. But, according to the SABR bio of Boudreau written by Ralph Berger, he “was born on July 17, 1917, in Harvey, Illinois, to Louis Boudreau Sr., of French descent, and Birdie (nee Henry) Boudreau, of Jewish and German descent. Although his mother was Jewish, Lou and his older brother Albert were raised as Christians.” He is not listed as Jewish in the Jewish Baseball News list (http://www.jewishbaseballnews.com/players/), but he is listed in the Baseball-Almanac list (https://www.baseball-almanac.com/legendary/Jewish_baseball_players.shtml) (right next to Ralph Branca!). I understand that even if a player has Jewish heritage in his background, and even if (as prescribed by traditional Jewish law) his mother is Jewish, JBN doesn’t consider him Jewish unless he views himself as a Jew. He is not identified as Jewish in Jews and Baseball: Volume 1 by Burton W. Boxerman and Benita W. Boxerman, Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sport and the American Jewish Experience by Peter Levine, or The Jewish Baseball Hall of Fame by Erwin Lynn. Lou’s mother was Jewish, but he did not consider himself to be Jewish (his parents divorced when he was young and he was raised Catholic by his father). Boudreau’s funeral mass was held at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Frankfort, Illinois.
Now that I have had some more time, let’s go back to Buddy Myer (see Day 1). Myer played for 17 years (1925-41) for the Washington Senators and he was often mistaken as Jewish. It was reported that during his playing days he was subjected to much antisemitic abuse. An article in the Jewish Journal by Peter Drier from January 2024 reports that “[o]pposing players called him a “kike.” Pitchers threw at his head. In 1933, Yankees outfielder Ben Chapman, a notorious racist, intentionally spiked Myer when he slid into second base. The two players then got into a fist fight that led to an on-field brawl between the two teams, requiring police intervention. The next day, the Washington Post’s Jewish sportswriter, Shirley Povich, wrote that Chapman ‘cut a swastika with his spikes on Myer’s thigh.’” (As an aside to the tangent, Peter Drier co-authored two great books with Robert Elias, Major League Rebels: Baseball Battles Over Workers’ Rights and American Empire and Baseball Rebels: The Players, People, and Social Movements that Shook up the Game and Changed America.)
Myer was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and he’s included in the books authored by the Boxermans, Levin and Lynn. But, according to Myer’s family he was not Jewish; he grew up in a small town in Mississippi and was raised Baptist. When he died, the memorial service was held at the First Baptist Church. The family ancestry was originally German Jewish, but they converted to Christianity at least two generations before Buddy was born. His son is quoted by way of explanation: “He didn’t think it was right when they inducted him into the Jewish Hall of Fame, but he didn’t correct them because he was afraid it would be taken the wrong way.”
Harrison Bader has worn 4 different uniform numbers, including #4 last year in 2023 for the Reds. Mike Epstein wore 8 different uniforms/numbers over his 9 year career, including #4 for 9 games with the Orioles in 1967 before being traded to the Senators (he batted .154 with a slugging percentage of .154 in his 13 at bats, so you know what his 2 hits were).

2024.04.24 21:58 SpaceChump_ Accessing Chang'E-3 Data
I have a project for a remote sensing class, and as part of that I am trying to recreate some reflectance plots from data collected by the lander (Figure 5 from this paper). I was able to get the data from China's Lunar and Planetary Data System, which is in 14 files in PDS3 (planetary data system) format.
It looks like this file format was developed by NASA, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access the data. I can open the files (all but 1) with the NASAView software as images and see the label information, but I do not know how to access the data to get the reflectance data and create the graphs. There is a PDS Transform tool that I have tried to use, but I could not get results from it (I might be too stupid for the installation / operation instructions given).
Would anyone here have guidance / knowledge on how to recreate these graphs?

2024.04.22 12:01 yes_its_him Meanwhile, at baseball reference...stats so far
Instead of using fangraphs, let's see what Baseball Reference has to say about our players this season. I'll highlight places where they agree and differ.
Here's a single-pane view of aggregate WAR in one column:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/2024-roster.shtml
For hitters, they like Greene, Canha and Carpenter as you'd expect. They are our only notably better than average position players.
They really like Greene, 1.4 bWAR in not even 1/7 of a season that projects to 9 WAR in a full year, MVP-level performance. (7th best in all MLB.) fangraphs has him at 0.9 projecting to 6 WAR, still very good. The difference in hitters is fielding performance; Baseball Reference differentiates player fielding more than fangraphs does. They think Riley is killing it in left field. He's not going to have 42 DRS over the whole season, tho, which his current 6 DRS projects to.
They think Canha and Carpenter are average in the field for their positions. Which could be generous but we'll take it. Their hitting projects them to 3+ WAR over a season.
Beyond that, our plus players are all pitchers, especially bullpen arms. They benefit from spiffy (and unsustainably low) ERAs. They assess Foley as our best pitcher, well above Skubal, then Shelby Miller is second. Both all-star level WAR projections at this early point. They like Skubal and Mize equally at 3+ projected WAR pitchers.
Baseball Reference rewards pitchers for not allowing runs of any kind, whereas fangraphs likes strikeouts and penalizes walks and especially home runs using FIP. Fangraphs likes all of our starters except Maeda better than any reliever, and thinks our bullpen has most guys about the same and just OK. Baseball reference doesn't like Alex Lange's unearned runs.
In terms of underperforming players, Maeda is bringing up the rear. Neither system likes a pitcher who gives up a lot of runs due to home runs. Then Jake Rogers is our worst position player, his average fielding can't help his abysmal batting. Bbref and fangraphs agree that McKinstry is not doing well either, and then Bbref is down on Torkelson, his average hitting can't counteract his -4 DRS that project to -28 on the year, which results in negative bWAR.
Fan-favorite Javy Baez has clawed his way back to replacement level following a horrendous start at the plate, his good fielding and baserunning at a premium position is helping his WAR. Keith and especially Meadows also benefit similarly, and are seen as replacement level or even slightly above by Bbref. fangraphs finds their fielding less beneficial as you'd expect.
By the "worst wRC+ for qualified hitters" metric, Colt Keith is currently 4th worst, Javy is 10th worst, then Meadows and Rogers aren't qualified.

The symbiotic relationship between an egregore and its group has been compared to the more recent, non-occult concepts of the corporation (as a legal entity) and the meme.

[edit] History The word "egregore" derives from the Greek word, ἐγρήγοροι (egrḗgoroi), meaning "watchers" (also transliterated "grigori"). The word appears in the Septuagint translation of the Book of Lamentations,[1] as well as the Book of Jubilees and the Book of Enoch.
Eliphas Lévi, in Le Grand Arcane ("The Great Mystery", 1868) identifies "egregors" (sic) with the tradition concerning the fathers of the nephilim, describing them as "terrible beings" that "crush us without pity because they are unaware of our existence." [2]
The concept of the egregore as a group thoughtform was developed in works of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucians[3][citation needed] and has been referenced by writers such as Valentin Tomberg.
[edit] Contemporary usage Gaetan Delaforge, in Gnosis magazine in 1987, defines an egregore as a kind of group mind which is created when people consciously come together for a common purpose." [4]
The concept has enjoyed renewed popularity among practitioners of Chaos Magic, following the Corporate Metabolism series of articles by Paco Xander Nathan, which were published in 2001.
The result of a synergy of thought could be the most concise description of this state of mind.
The notion of "egregor" also appears in Andreev's Roza Mira, where it represents the shining cloud-like spirit associated with the Church. It is a common belief in Russia that the word "egregor" originated from this spiritual book.
The Russian occult movement DEIR, led by Dmitry Verischchagin, also employs this concept.
The book "The Art of Memetics" [5] provides a detailed and multi-faceted explication of what an egregore is, including instructions for how to cultivate them.
Well everything is an egregore, where ever two or more minds agree existence itself is an egregore as I illuminated in my stacked complex function theory.
Quote: I propose that a). given the idea there are 1 billion billion strings per atom and 27 trillion atoms (jefferson labs calculation.) per human body 1). strings have a semblance of recognition of function that reasonably stabilizes atomic function. Without this microcode atoms functions would be sporadic. The continuity of recognition of design keeps atoms from randomly changing atomic weight . b). That in certain series the stacked function of strings and atoms lend themselves perfectly to self awareness but arent the sole causation of that ability to compute the idea of prescience. 1). that the ability to realize prescience is a compute function of the biological computer because its self assembling design simply creates the ability for the function of self aware computation. c). that stacked function isnt limited to what we define as sentient matter and is prevelent through out the spectrum of infinity as electrical and waveform signals. b). the stacked function of the electronic and wave form currents at the level of membranes creates a loopback field that we define as consciousness and its the resultant sum of all of the stacked function existant.
My posts from David Ickes website
dewds theory of self assembling matter
I theorize that self aware intelligence is
- the sum of parts whose vibrations and energy can culminate in an intelligent being because each sub planck scale part has an unidentified self aware intelligence. E.G. a string realizes its form and compatibility , or a quark or bosson if you prefer. 2.That self realized awareness makes it possible for the sub particles to form particles that can lead to complex systems with any amount of prescience I.E. human beings.
- the nature of self aware or sentient aspects of matter gravitate towards macro models that are representative of its intelligent value. E.G. a rock will always be a rock because the sub planck scale aspects have similar gravitational values. or compatible vibrations that bond the intelligence of the atoms together. Its intelligence value may be the value associated with its sonic and electrical value.
- Complex sentient organic systems cannot be intelligent if the individual parts cannot quantify the ability within themselves first. case in point an electron will travel a piece of wire to its destination and not decide to stall and gain mass in a perfect wire structure for no reason. nor will bio electrons fail to carry a signal unless the path is damaged.
- Complex computational organic models(living beings) can repeat the process of self assembly because at the string level it is a recognized form of intelligent expression and resides in tghe memory of the entire quantum spectrum.
awareness at the string level
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We think in terms of collectives of awareness, and the entire race acts as an extended body to that degree which is exhibited in learning, yet on the string level awareness is a far more limiting perspective. I theorize Strings are aware of function, the more strings the more function until we have atoms, atoms are defined by electron volt mass etc. if strings were not aware of function one of two things would manifest. 1. Atoms functions would be random and unpredictable. 2. or atoms would have no function or not be able to assemble.
Strings are obviously more versatile than atoms possibly even universal in function yet increasingly limited as atoms construct. or strings serve one purpose in the events that lead to atom assembly. At the time the atom is formed it can be described because the strings awareness of function describes the atomic function The identification of atomic value is made possible by the function awaremness of the string.
Another example in the macro micro would be single cell organisms, bacterium and so forth.
evidence of diversity of string function is exemplified in the difference between an ants function versus a humans function, certain types of strings or environments for strings create the ability for various consciousness to function at various levels.
---------------------------------
After some more thought on this it occurred to me that function could very well be the building block of awareness.
A string function being equal to potential awarenes, that function and awareness are intrinsicly tied together on all levels , in simple and complex mechanisms.
one could say that the trillion trillionths of strings that exist in the order and quantity that they do in our body have no choice but to attain self awareness because of the incredibly numerous stacking of function at the string level, that oragnisms of this particular misture and complexity have no choice but to be realized due to its specific gathering of stacked functions.
Comparatively a rock is much less of a stacked string base and has a vastly more limited breadth of strings, yet indigenous peoples claimed to have spoken with the lands and the sky and the waters, which quantumly could be a connection on a vibratory level, sensing what vibrations the rocks do factually produce.
Obviously they believed they spoke to an omni present spirit within all things or the quantum sum of the stacked potential in the universe.
If it is possible that strings function in complex stacked atomic assemblies can be self aware because of the nature of the stacks of strings to atomic functions , than it is highly likely the entire universe would exhibit the same functions of the entire universes sum of intelligence and awareness as a common awareness or what some call a onenness which could well be displayed on a universal level as a spectrum of representative awareness of all that is within the universal structure.

The largest egregore there is is a subconscious one that binds all things in recognition of its own existence. The elite have cognitively been maintaining theirs for thousands of years, and it is by this very same mechanism that we can defuse them.
The requirements can be as simple as creating the recognition of our unified egregore, our collective higher minds or waking up the entire collective that we are as an egregore and simply pointing our collectives energies at disassembling the elites egregore in the persuit of creating a dominant love collective for all mankind to connect with.
All that is required is the recognition that all of us out of compassion and love are working within this collective and it can be a self realized hyper consciousness if we realise that it is. Since the elites egregore is existent then we have the opportunity to see everything they are doing and know all of their mechanisms because at that level nothing is hidden.
I have seen this egregore we are a part of at work and the things I discover and put into it which is all of what I have discovered on my trail, often come out in totally unrelated scenarios and people. When we meditate our information into our egregore we must self acknowledge our collective, our I AM with simple mantras like I am awake i am aware i am the collective of compassion and love of humanity, nothing is hidden from us.
The overharmonic of all of our efforts is there waiting for us to realize it and it in us.
What holds atoms together in molecules?
I understand that cations attract anions, and that's what holds ionic compounds together. What holds atoms together in molecules?
Molecules are held together by electrons shared between bonded atoms. For example, consider the formation of an H2 molecule from two separate hydrogen atoms:
2 approaching hydrogen atoms (2 H) a hydrogen molecule (H2)
As the two atoms approach, each nucleus begins to attract the other atom's electrons. The shared electrons spend much of their time wedged between the two nuclei (where they can be be as close as possible to both of the positive charges at once). The attraction of nuclei for shared electrons holds the atoms together. A molecule has formed. Because of the wavelike nature of electrons, you really need quantum mechanics to accurately describe this process.

An egregore is a mirror or mathematical equation, if you look at pre self realized consciousness you can imagine strings laid out through infinity sometimes changing vibrations billions of times a second or random math happening at light speed , and where ever there is an equation there is a solution.
So lets pretend for a second that precreation is a calculator doing infinite numbers of calculations at speeds we cant fathom, everything existant is in a state of flux and some times the vibrations or math equations add up to atoms and molecules in a nano second.
Another way to view this is like an ocean or body of water with constant ripple activity , sometimes making waves and all manner of random form. because this energy is prone to memory( persistance of the equation / solution becomes a memory) the sum of all activity could be said to recognize infinite characteristics of all that it is and see a contiguous manifestation of all of these things at once.
Referred to as the wakened state of brahman and in siberian lore the sleeper awoke and said I am, because the nature of all things is to produce the likley hood of the ability to compute self awareness. From the point that random equation became the stability of being all things then were made manifest or the infinite egregore of mathematical potential became a logic and in that realized it was.
everything we are and experience is little more than a solved mathematical equation of the potential of energy to exist in form. The reason we exist is that the equation is persistent as a memory in the infinite egregore. Hence the human body is the solution of the potential of the euation of energy that its made of.

2024.04.19 01:00 livia2lima Day 15 - Deeper into repositories...
INTRO
Early on you installed some software packages to your server using apt install. That was fairly painless, and we explained how the Linux model of software installation is very similar to how "app stores" work on Android, iPhone, and increasingly in MacOS and Windows.Today however, you'll be looking "under the covers" to see how this works; better understand the advantages (and disadvantages!) - and to see how you can safely extend the system beyond the main official sources.
YOUR TASKS TODAY
- Add a new repo
- Remove a repo
- Find out where to get a program from (apt-search)
- Install a program without apt
REPOSITORIES AND VERSIONS
Any particular Linux installation has a number of important characteristics:- Version - e.g. Ubuntu 20.04, CentOS 5, RHEL 6
- "Bit size" - 32-bit or 64-bit
- Chip - Intel, AMD, PowerPC, ARM
WHERE IS ALL THIS SETUP?
We'll be discussing the "package manager" used by the Debian and Ubuntu distributions, and dozens of derivatives. This uses the apt command, but for most purposes the competing yum and dnf commands used by Fedora, RHEL, CentOS and Scientific Linux work in a very similar way - as do the equivalent utilities in other versions.The configuration is done with files under the /etc/apt directory, and to see where the packages you install are coming from, use less to view /etc/apt/sources.list where you'll see lines that are clearly specifying URLs to a “repository” for your specific version:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted universeThere's no need to be concerned with the exact syntax of this for now, but what’s fairly common is to want to add extra repositories - and this is what we'll deal with next.
EXTRA REPOSITORIES
While there's an amazing amount of software available in the "standard" repositories (more than 3,000 for CentOS and ten times that number for Ubuntu), there are often packages not available - typically for one of two reasons:- Stability - CentOS is based on RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), which is firmly focussed on stability in large commercial server installations, so games and many minor packages are not included
- Ideology - Ubuntu and Debian have a strong "software freedom" ethic (this refers to freedom, not price), which means that certain packages you may need are unavailable by default
ENABLING EXTRA REPOSITORIES
First do a quick check to see how many packages you could already install. You can get the full list and details by running:apt-cache dump
...but you'll want to press Ctrl-c a few times to stop that, as it's far too long-winded.
Instead, filter out just the packages names using grep, and count them using: wc -l (wc is "word count", and the "-l" makes it count lines rather than words) - like this:
apt-cache dump grep "Package:" wc -l
These are all the packages you could now install. Sometimes there are extra packages available if you enable extra repositories. Most Linux distros have a similar concept, but in Ubuntu, often the "Universe" and "Multiverse" repositories are disabled by default. These are hosted at Ubuntu, but with less support, and Multiverse: "contains software which has been classified as non-free ...may not include security updates". Examples of useful tools in Multiverse might include the compression utilities rar and lha, and the network performance tool netperf.
To enable the "Multiverse" repository, follow the guide at:
After adding this, update your local cache of available applications:
sudo apt update
Once done, you should be able to install netperf like this:
sudo apt install netperf
...and the output will show that it's coming from Multiverse.
EXTENSION - Ubuntu PPAs
Ubuntu also allows users to register an account and setup software in a Personal Package Archive (PPA) - typically these are setup by enthusiastic developers, and allow you to install the latest "cutting edge" software.As an example, install and run the neofetch utility. When run, this prints out a summary of your configuration and hardware. This is in the standard repositories, and neofetch --version will show the version. If for some reason you wanted to be have a later version you could install a developer's Neofetch PPA to your software sources by:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntusway-dev/dev
As always, after adding a repository, update your local cache of available applications:
sudo apt update
Then install the package with:
sudo apt install neofetch
Check with neofetch --version to see what version you have now.
Check with apt-cache show neofetch to see the details of the package.
When you next run "sudo apt upgrade" you'll likely be prompted to install a new version of neofetch - because the developers are sometimes literally making changes every day. (And if it's not obvious, when the developers have a bad day your software will stop working until they make a fix - that's the real "cutting edge"!)
SUMMARY
Installing only from the default repositories is clearly the safest, but there are often good reasons for going beyond them. As a sysadmin you need to judge the risks, but in the example we came up with a realistic scenario where connecting to an unstable working developer’s version made sense.As general rule however you:
- Will seldom have good reasons for hooking into more than one or two extra repositories
- Need to read up about a repository first, to understand any potential disadvantages.

2024.04.12 19:06 MaterialTangelo9856 Ready For Some "Epiphany"? Taylors World War II Has Begun... And We're Caught Up In It.
 | I know we’ve all been wondering what’s up with the peace signs Taylor (and friends) have been flashing for the last few months (years?), which seem to have really picked up in frequency since her announcement of TTPD at the Grammys. I’ve heard some compelling theories: is she signaling that she’s a part of Beyoncé’s Act II? Is she trying to easter egg a double album drop? Is she playing into a stereotype or flagging to a former lover? submitted by MaterialTangelo9856 to GaylorSwift [link] [comments] She really did freak us all out with this one, didn't she? But none of these questions have been compelling enough to make me forget the first thing I thought of when I saw those two fingers on the Grammy’s stage. It’s something I’ve been pondering ever since I analyzed “The Great War,” and read it in the context of the possible failed coming out during Taylor’s Lover era. We know — however much we may disagree on interpretations of this song — that the phrase “The Great War” is an overt reference to World War I. So what if… the sign she keeps flashing is a sign from an even greater war that took place just decades after the first — the "V" sign, for Victory? And what if… she’s signaling that she is, right now, in the midst of her own personal World War II? Doesn't that \"V\" sign look familiar? A brief aside: I’m talking about the first and second world war here in allegorical terms, which means I’m abstracting and flattening key moments in order to examine a story that Taylor herself may be telling about her fans and her quest to reclaim her artwork. This sort of discussion, which Taylor’s repeated “V” sign invites, has a cost: the appropriation of historical symbols and knowledge from a century ago to tell a story in the present day. Anyone who has examined Taylor’s use of queer symbols knows how painful the perceived twisting or trivializing of a sensitive subject’s original meaning can be for people close to the subject. With that in mind, I’d encourage you to, in addition to reading and discussing this post, spend some time learning more about the horrors that took place in and around the second World War, including the Holocaust and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Here’s a handful of resources (not an exhaustive list) to get you started:
A Brief History of the "V" SignI realize that some people may be hesitant to discuss the sign because it was popularized in Britain by a very famous, very racist British Prime Minister. Have no fear! The sign actually comes — like french fries and the pill — from Belgium!In 1940, Victor de Laveleye, a Belgian lawyer and local councillor, fled his home country for London when the Germans invaded. By 1941, he became a broadcaster, for the BBC’s Radio Belgique, a radio station that broadcast from the allies across enemy lines. On January 14 of that year, he gave a speech urging Belgians to use the symbol “V” to signal their own resistance, referencing both victoire (“victory” in French) and vrijheid (“freedom” in Dutch). He said the “V” was to be a symbol of defiance, freedom, and of final victory. Here's our man Victor, cheesin' with the \"V\" sign. The campaign worked — people across Belgium, France and the Netherlands began scrawling Vs everywhere they could find. The symbol quickly became a sign of resistance and persistence in the face of overwhelming occupation. The BBC soon expanded its broadcast to include all allied nations. The BBC broadcaster, who went by Colonel Britton, encouraged the use of the symbol as a sign of solidarity in broadcasts that began with Beethoven’s fifth Symphony (the first notes of the song sound like “V” in morse code). He said this to what he called his “V Army”: In a few minutes there will be millions of new ‘Vs’ on walls and doors and pavements all over Europe. It is dark now. If you listen you may hear distant bugles sounding and the ‘V’ rhythm or drums tapping. Perhaps you’ll hear a train whistle sounded by one of your comrades. Put your ‘V’ up as a member of this vast ‘V’ army. Do it during the daytime too. Your friends will be doing it from one end of Europe to the other.Now, Taylor and her friends are flashing it all over the place, to an extent and a frequency that the sign must be deliberate. And so it begs the question, what the heck is Taylor’s V-sign supposed to communicate? What does her story look like if she’s using an allegory of the first and second World War to communicate her intentions? In her video about Easter Eggs from 2019, Taylor pointedly flashed two \"V\" signs after describing palm trees as a symbol of \"rebirth.\" Taylor’s World War I: The Failed Coming Out and the Masters HeistThere are great masterposts about the Lover period and the possibility of a failed coming out, but what we know about Taylor’s feelings during this time largely come from interpretations of a handful of songs from folklore, evermore, and Midnights, in which she is specifically looking back on past events. After the war ends, she spends the intervening period of time looking back on the war and dealing with its consequences. Let's think about what a couple of those, considered together, might reveal to us.On folklore, she begins to examine the aftermath of the failed coming out, in songs like “my tears ricochet,” “hoax” and “mad woman.” Most explicitly, though, she looks to the consequence of this event in the bridge of “mirrorball”: And they called off the circus, burned the disco downIf you interpret this song as being about her 2019 attempted coming out, it seems like she's saying the plans she had been working on for years failed. She couldn’t change as she planned, whether because of the pandemic or Scooter or something else, so she stayed the same. She’s stuck on that tightrope, at the restaurant. Her plans were foiled, her disco was burned, by an unspecific "they." (see more from u/riadash here.) Taylor's \"Mirrorball\" dress became a symbolic image of \"Miss Americana.\" A war reference worth noting comes in the song “Ivy,” from evermore. She sings “So yeah, it’s a war, it’s the goddamn fight of my life and you started it, you started it.” While we could spend time debating the muse of this song, it’s undeniable that she views the struggle to be with her lover not just as a battle, but a war. The goddamn fight of her life. You can, of course, also read the entire album evermore as an explicit examination of the failed coming out. u/ascott35 did a nice job drawing this together a few months ago (I especially love their interpretation of “Champagne Problems”). By the end of evermore, she’s come to terms with what happened in the First War and is preparing to leave the restaurant and move forward with her life. She’s ready for the second fight of her life. “The Great War” is also of obvious significance here. I’m not going to do a line by line analysis right now, but I largely read this song as examining the cost of an attempt to come out. The muse, “You,” could signify her queer self, those who could see her queerness or a romantic muse (see this thread by u/dirtvvulf for some discussion of these themes. And this brief post by u/ctrldwrdns on the song’s allusions to Wilfred Owen’s poems). The point of this, though, is that she says “I vowed not to fight anymore if we survived the great war.” That is what so many people said after the First World War, but a “good faith treaty” had been drawn that didn’t do enough to prevent the next war. All of this leaves the impression that even if she said before that the battle had been called off, that she threw away her cloaks and daggers now, that it was brighter now, that she’ll never go back to that bloodshed crimson clover... the true war to end all wars hadn’t yet come. All that existed was a temporary peace, an armistice, that would end up turning into an even greater war. The Interwar Period: Creating Folkmore, Midnights and The Eras Tour Phase 1folklore, evermore, and Midnights largely appear to have been written during Taylor’s personal interwar period. Some of them reflect on her past (outlined above) but some also reflect on her present. Let’s consider what happened during the real Interwar period:
Next, she releases Midnights, which she says is an album written "for all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching." It's the little spark of hope keeping the fires burning during the first phase of the war, when she — the British — haven't yet entered the fight. The cover of Midnights signaled that she hadn't yet burned it all down. Then she begins The Eras Tour. From the moment she steps on stage, Taylor casts the events that are to take place as a battle, opening with “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince.” But she doesn't seem to be doing much battling! It's more like she's arming up, preparing for conflict that is to come; she appears to do very little to fight for queer interpretations of her work or the right to be herself publicly. She embroils herself in controversy with Ratty, releases Speak Now and performs The Eras Tour (which hints at the War to come). Things seem to be going well for her, but she's not fighting the war, not yet. She hasn't been forced to commit. Things come to a head in August 2023. A certain former female muse — perhaps the one most known by casuals — appeared at The Eras Tour in August, sparking a media firestorm. Almost every news outlet was once again writing articles about Kaylor, "speculating" (gasp! *clutches pearls*) about Taylor's romantic affections in the most salacious of ways. The consequence of this is a bunch of het fans vocally, vociferously denying any romance existed, denying, once again, her history. So, she forms a secret alliance — yes, with the football player — and prepares to go to war again, announcing 1989TV. Now, consider the beginning of World War II. Up until September 1939, the British, led by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had attempted to appease the Axis powers out of conflict. But, that September, Germany invades Poland, forcing Chamberlain's hand. He gives a speech before Parliament, in which he says this: Everything that I have worked for, everything that I have hoped for, everything that I have believed in during my public life has crashed into ruins. There is only one thing left for me to do: that is devote what strength and power I have to forwarding the victory of the cause for which we have sacrificed so much.For all his flaws, for all his failures, for all the heartbreak he has caused, Chamberlain commits himself to the war he tried everything to avoid. In the process, history remembers him for his choice to appease for years. Could the same thing be happening to our favorite Anti-Hero? \"...tale as old as time...\" World War II: The Eras Tour Phase 2, Tayvis, 1989TV and TTPDNeville Chamberlain proved a wildly ineffectual leader of the allied forces during the six months or so of the war. He pursues a blockade, but takes little action on the continent. Journalists begin calling this period Chamberlain's "Phoney War," for he's more concerned with preserving the British economy than he is with taking up arms. Meanwhile, the continent (where the culture's clever!) is being overrun by Axis forces; it is undeniable that however well things may be going for Britain, the allies are losing the war. Anyone in the resistance is forced to signal to one another, passing secret messages and throwing up "V" signs when they can, even as they are overrun.It's easy to see the allegorical parallels between this period and Taylor's recent antics. Many of us have remarked that Taylor SwiftTM seems more concerned with building up her business than she is asserting her identity, and by extension, her art. She's publicly aligned with the football star, but seems to be repeating the same love story she's told over and over. To TIME magazine, she tells the same old stories, repeating the narrative that has gotten her this far but appearing mired in the past. She hetsplains her work twice, during "prologuegate" and, later, during "associategate." It appears that despite the declaration of war, she hasn't materially changed her tactics. Meanwhile, a queer reading of her work is shamed into silence. The anti-hero isn't doing enough to assert her work’s place in queer canon or the historical record. Queer readers of her art get our first breath of fresh air when she announces at the Grammys that TTPD will be released on April 19. But the April date should give us pause. As should the album's styling — her self-expression is still in sepia tones. Her image is stuck in Kansas, not the magical rainbow wonderland of Oz. Toto, I have a feeling we're still in Kansas... Again, it's interesting to return to history. Chamberlain's biggest military blunder, which led to his downfall, happened in mid-April, when the allies — led by Britain — attempt to seize part of Norway. They were, however, wildly unsuccessful. I suspect this is going to be our experience with TTPD. Everything someone might want for queer interpretation is going to be there — references to famous poets, lyrics that hint at sapphic love lost, an examination of Taylor's great depression, and so on. But a more wide reading of this through a queer lens is once again going to be thwarted, because everything someone might want for a het reading will be there too. Basically... she’s not going to be out of the woods yet. Taylor seemed to hint that this will be the case in Singapore, the last time she performed surprise songs. The most obvious reference to Second World War in Taylor’s work comes from the song "Epiphany," in which she interprets her grandfather’s experience at the Battle of Guadalcanal. In Singapore, she once again places us in the second world war, mashing up this song with "Mirrorball," personalizing its meaning. In the mashup, “Mirrorball” takes the place of the World War II verse of "Epiphany," drawing a direct line between the second world war and the experience of that song. “I know they said the end is near, but I’m still on my tallest tiptoes…shining just for you…some things you just can’t speak about. With you I serve, with you I fall down…you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make sense of what you see.”Is this not the experience of consuming her work this closely? Of waiting, looking for a sign that what we see is really there — but all we find is the mirrorball, spinning on her highest tiptoes? TTPD will not be relief. It will not be our epiphany. \"Only the best win the yellow beret...\" Close readers of her work received a similar hint about this period much earlier, in her music video for "Karma," in which she makes one of her most clever war references. She skips down the yellow brick road, presumably the place where she would "come out," a la Elton, but she's wearing a yellow beret. This is a reference to the Vietnam War, in which draft dodgers were decried as "Yellow Berets" (many of them were actually essential public health workers! “Epiphany” strikes again!). This sentiment was colorfully documented in the Bob Seger song "Ballad of the Yellow Beret." What Taylor communicates here is — however queer she may seem, skipping down that yellow brick road, she's not going to declare it. At least, not yet. If you're hoping for a coming out with this album, I salute you. But I feel like that's not quite the story she's telling. And so let's look ahead just a bit farther. What happens after the mid-April failure of the allies? What happens after TTPD? Her audience finally get set on the path to victory in a war that will consume the world. World War II: What's Next? When's the Epiphany?And so we return to the repeated “V” signs Taylor has been throwing up. Which means we finally have to talk about Winston Churchill. (sorry.)After the Allies failed in Norway, British politics began to move to oust Chamberlain. Over a period of two days, a debate unfolded in the House of Commons — often called the “Norway Debate” — over whether Chamberlain could continue on as prime minister after his overwhelming series of failures. The debate reached a fever pitch when Leo Amery, a MP, gave a now-famous speech that culminated in this directive: This is what Cromwell said to the Long Parliament when he thought it was no longer fit to conduct the affairs of the nation: "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."(Imagine: The Tortured Poets Department not as an academic department, but an actual departure of tortured poets, whomever they may be.) By May 10, Winston Churchill had become Prime Minister. Churchill was a British imperialist, a racist and, arguably, an antisemite. (For more detail on this, see this discussion hosted by the University of Cambridge and a piece about the public reaction to that discussion from Priyamvada Gopal.) He also was a very effective leader of the Allies, convincing the U.S. to join the war, convincing the Brits to fight on and directing his country to the end of Nazi occupation throughout Europe. And he loved to flash that "V." Here is an excerpt from the speech he gave after taking power: We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.Is it possible that after TTPD, Taylor will stop acting like Chamberlain, and start acting like Churchill -- finally fighting the goddamn fight of her life, with no holds barred? Will the epiphany finally come after she owns 11 cats, or albums, as she portends in “anti-hero”? Or maybe after she releases her fifth rerecording, as she signals in "Karma"? Could the lightbulbs signify albums? Probably not. I’m very jaded. So maybe this reading is just a tiny bit of copium in a very dark world. But if the V for victory she's been flashing is a sign that a final victory will come in due course... saddle up folks, we've still got a long road ahead of us. P.S. I’ve seen many people online debating why she’s only chosen to put up a billboard for TTPD in Poland. To them I say… look at the logo for a language school, displayed in the window in the bottom right corner. What a peculiar appearance of a \"V\" sign... Yes, this could be an accident, but I have to say, I think she just might be a mastermind. Even if she’s not, isn’t it so pretty to think so? |
2024.04.10 20:45 Corbin_Davenport PNG screenshot tool for early Mac OS X?
I just got Mac OS X 10.3 Panther installed on my PowerMac G3, and I didn't know PDF was the default screenshot format. The terminal command for changing it to PNG doesn't seem to work on Panther, and converting each image for easier viewing on other devices is a bit annoying. Does anyone know if there's a small utility or other workaround that allows me to save screenshots directly as PNG files?

2024.04.09 18:08 SomeRandomNoob123 TIPS AND RESOURCES FOR MATHS(JEE/ISI/CMI/INMO)
Hello guys!!Many of u were asking me for tips related to maths .I am INMO qualified (in class 11th).Attended OCSC camp but failed to go past that(sadly).Beside that my jee main -math percentile in mains is mentioned above(Check my last post).Its 99.5.I have also attended STEMS camp in CMI. .I mainly focus on solving new problems in maths,creating new ideas,developing intiution .etc.
A general tip in maths for all-
For 1)....JEE Mains
The main difference which probably many people dont realise is that maximum amount of questions in jee mains arent difficult conceptually while we all can say that the questions are calculative and lengthy which makes it tough to solve within time limit .
To counter this I solved past years math section of jee papers(especially jee main 2021-2023) not once ,not twice but thrice!.I repeat thrice!! .By setting a timer to ensure that I finish the entire math section within 1hr 30 min.(25 questions).I can assure you that if u complete each and every paper from past 3 years 2-3 times,there is no force to stop u to score 80+ in maths atleast(even with the exam hall pressure)
Besides that other resources which are helpful for jee mains are(which i HAVE SOLVED TOO)
1)Arihant Publications by Amit Agarwal (Specially for Calculus+Coordinate geometry)
2)Black Book by Vikas Gupta-MY FAVOURITE BOOK(For algebra).
3)SL Loney+Sameer ChicholikaNishant vora(Unacademy lectures )best teachers ,for trigonometry.Along with that u can also solve coaching modules,as trigo is mainly based on application of formulas
4)Vector and 3d Geometry-Any one book between Cengage(i did this) ,or Arihant .
For Mains even Fitjee and Narayana distance programme materials are excellent which I bought but dint have time to solve for..as I was busy with inmo prep.
2).....Jee Advance
Many find Jee advance extremely tough in terms of thinking on how to start a problem.So to develop top notch intuition I would recommend the following advance materials(Disclaimer :SOLVE ONLY AFTER CLEARING BASICS).These books are really high level and will test your real brain.
1)PINK BOOK BY VIKAS GUPTA (FOR COORDINATE GEOMETRY)
2)YELLOW BOOK BY VIKAS GUPTA (FOR ALGEBRA)-I call it the IRODOV OF Maths.Solved it completely (HELPED VERY MUCH)
3)Hall and KNIGHT (for algebra)-Foreign author.
4)A DAS GUPTA (ANOTHER BOOK I KNOW TOP BATCH STUDENTS SOLVE)-For all other topics.
5)PYQS
This much material if u can solve even 50 percent of it if u can manage to solve.trust me a good score in maths is possible.
3)...OLYMPIADS(MY EXPERTISE LOL)
Essentially, olympiads consist of four main subjects: Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory, and Combinatorics. Each of these are broadly independent of the others, and your preparation comes down to your work in each of these four.
Some materials are as follows -
2)An Excursion in Mathematics by M. R. Modak & S. A. Katre
3)Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Paul Zeitz
4)Problem Solving Strategies Arthur Engel
3)A Beautiful Journey Through Olympiad Geometry
4)Lemmas in Olympiad Geometry
2)Olympiad NT through Challenging Problems, by Justin Stevens
3)Number Theory by Naoki Sato
2)Olympiad Combinatorics by Pranav Sriram
2)Secrets in Inequalities by Pham Kim HungMore Advanced Books by topic
2)A Beautiful Journey Through Olympiad Geometry
3)Lemmas in Olympiad Geometry
British Math Olympiad Problems
This contains problems from all over the world, and has past papers of various countries. In particular, the following are especially useful and in a roughly increasing order of difficulty:
The general way I like to think about this is "the number of hours of zero progress". In general, it's often unlikely you're going to make progress on a reasonable problem if you haven't been able to for, say, the last 1 hr. In general, you can set the lower bound to 30 minutes too (this depends on the problem difficulty too), but I would say that any less than 10 minutes before seeing the solution is essentially just wasting the problem.
In case anyone needs any suggestions you all can openly message me.

A general tip in maths for all-
- Don't give up too quickly when faced with a challenge; kindly refrain from immediately looking for complete solutions.
- Focus less on the final outcomes and more on enjoying the process of learning mathematics.
- It's not a competition to prove yourself against others; instead, view learning as your personal journey and strive to do your best

 | Hey everyone! This is my custom save file for Bridgeport that I've been working on for some time now. You may have seen the 2022 version that I posted last year. Unfortunately that version came with a lot of loading/saving problems due to how resource-intensive it was, but I've scaled down the save file a lot for this version (I'll explain below exactly what has been scaled down). This save sets the current Bridgeport households by 5 years and introduces new storylines for them. There are also a bunch of new families so be on the look out for that! Without further a do, here's the savefile: submitted by HeyheyheyMax to Sims3 [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/61qkqsgbt2sc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=3505efc01024ba7b454034755730ed3175259866 https://preview.redd.it/0k2hogfct2sc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=28e12b42e3d7d9877cb740d01eac9fee7a5f909a https://preview.redd.it/2y8uk26ft2sc1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf4e27e42685179ceb9b046232e66dad0f0b0af1 https://preview.redd.it/igdlhllju2sc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9f4a372e257a6c6f9e7cfe863d1e22a134db83e https://preview.redd.it/lwt3p68uu2sc1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f47ccece33b72363149c606a834115d478b1624 https://preview.redd.it/74h6hiivu2sc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=26b944b62834cc1a4917d17bc536f0c82c98675f https://preview.redd.it/w4kgkfewu2sc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2e8b0085605ff6499a23ee00d189ae709c34039 https://preview.redd.it/wvy2qihxu2sc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b7171f43be9a8b98ac87f316f4a12cad991f794 DISCLAIMER!!!! I would like to say, MOST OF THESE LOTS ARE DOWNLOADED AND NOT MINE!!! The last thing I ever wanna do is accidentally lead people to believe someone's work was mine when it wasn't. While most of these lots are downloaded, they are mostly renovated or touched up by me. There are also a few lots made by me. Here are some: The recreation of the Hayloft apartment You can see more pictures of this lot here and here Celebrity Home You can see more pictures of this lot here 'The Armory', a recreation of the Empire Stores from DUMBO, NYC. DUBBO in this case Restaurants This save has a bunch of functional restaurants. You're gonna need the rabbithole rugs and Eat Outside Restaurants mod to simulate the Sims 4 Dine Out experience of picking a table, ordering and dining. Here are a few of them: French bistro High-end sushi restaurant Restaurant that serves classic Irish pub food Each of these restaurants have their own menus that make sense to the cuisine they serve and vary in price. There are also a bunch of food kiosks around the city. I wanted to simulate the fast-paced city feel and these actually come in clutch for my sim who is constantly on the move and has no time to cook. It's not necessary but if you want the displays to be filled automatically, you must get the Nraas Cupcake mod so food is always there and ready to be bought! Here are a few of them: Bennett & Sterling. Serves pastries and has a self-service coffee station Maloney's. Good ol' takeout place Caffe del Lampioni. Coffee on the go There's also a little news stand that sells newpaper. You're gonna need Around the Sims 3's news stand CC if you want this. Otherwise, it's unecessary. https://preview.redd.it/3gvoqm5a13sc1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c155e9479f4cf87de0ac3c5a681435bb6a775e7 The Scale-down Alright, now for the elephant in the room. Lots of people have reported load/save problems with the save. I've made big measures to scale down the save file. This includes deleting all the unecessary objects around the world (toilet paper, curtains, hampers, laundry machines) and unfortunately, all non-essential objects in most houses besides bathrooms, kitchens and beds. I've also turned some filled buildings from the 2022 save into custom rabbit holes by deleting everything in them and putting in rabbit hole rugs. This means I had to delete the custom university in this world and replaced it with the hospital. I'm very sorry if this is a giant dealbreaker to some of you. Required Packs I'm not sure to what extent I've used in each pack but I do have all expansion packs and stuff packs. You could get away with not having all of them but I just wanted to put it out there. You're obviously gonna need Late Night tho ;) I also used a buuunch of store content in this save so if some stuff are missing and replaced with other objects, that's why. I do also use custom cars from Fresh Prince and have all the townies using them but that's ultimately not necessary for you to get. !!!IMPORTANT!!! This save file DOES NOT USE THE ORIGINAL BRIDGEPORT! This is a special Bridgeport made by Rflong7/13. So if you're interested in downloading my save, make sure you download and install their version of Bridgeport here first. I used the Late Night version. There are also tons of custom patterns used in this save. I recommend you download them first and place them in your mods folder. AND FINALLY, the save file itself - Bridgeport Remake 2024 HOW TO INSTALL After downloading, paste the file in your saves folder. You can find it in your Sims 3 file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Saves Enjoy! |
2024.03.31 18:12 TheRealMolotov Cycling along the Norwegian west coast from north to south - ideas for detours
Hello my Norwegian friends
I have planned to visit Norway in 2025. The core of the trip is to cycle from Nordkapp to Kristiansand.
But step by step. I want to fly from Switzerland to Bergen and take the Hurtigruten for a week from Bergen to Honningsvåg. After that, I'll make a short visit to Nordkapp on my bike and then fly back home to tell everyone that I cycled to Nordkapp.
Jokes aside!
After arriving in Honningsvåg by boat, I want to cycle down from Nordkapp to Kristiansand. I've been planning for over a year and want to slowly finalize the whole route. I have a route with a few places I want to visit. But maybe I'm missing something. That's why I need your help.
The route can be seen roughly in the pictures at the end of the post, with some information points. The first 2/3 to Molde are mostly on the Eurovelo 1 - Atlantic Coast Route. After that I want to cycle on my own route. Mainly because I want to cycle up the Trollstigen Pass and the Dalsnibba mountain. After that I want to pay a visit to the Rallarvegen, which looks very interesting. Shortly after that, Voringsfossen is another destination I want to see. At the end I have 2 options, green is the "easier" route if I'm already tired. The pink route is for the Lysebotn, which I have already visited twice in 2017 and 2018.
This is my current route. Do you have any other ideas about what else I could visit? Is there anything missing that is a must-see? Or is there a better route option? I'm more interested in beautiful views, lakes, mountains and passes. Things like that. I'm less interested in cities.
I'm a trained cyclist who has been doing several thousand kilometers a year for years and have already ridden dozens of passes. Therefore, in theory, no detour should be a problem.
I've already got a lot of informations from a few website. Two of them are these:
https://cyclenorway.com
https://www.visitnorway.de
And I've already got the important tunnel information website:
https://www.cycletourer.co.uk/maps/tunnelmaplrge.shtml
Pictures of the route:
Part 1 Nordkapp - Tromso
Part 2 Tromso - Bodo
Part 3 Bodo - Trondheim
Part 4 Trondheim - Odda
Part 5 Odda - Kristiansand
TLDR:
What tips do you have for my cycle route from north to south? Sights, accommodation tips, must-sees, roads to avoid, etc. along the route in the pictures.
Many thanks in advance!

submitted by TheRealMolotov to Norway [link] [comments]
I have planned to visit Norway in 2025. The core of the trip is to cycle from Nordkapp to Kristiansand.
But step by step. I want to fly from Switzerland to Bergen and take the Hurtigruten for a week from Bergen to Honningsvåg. After that, I'll make a short visit to Nordkapp on my bike and then fly back home to tell everyone that I cycled to Nordkapp.
Jokes aside!
After arriving in Honningsvåg by boat, I want to cycle down from Nordkapp to Kristiansand. I've been planning for over a year and want to slowly finalize the whole route. I have a route with a few places I want to visit. But maybe I'm missing something. That's why I need your help.
The route can be seen roughly in the pictures at the end of the post, with some information points. The first 2/3 to Molde are mostly on the Eurovelo 1 - Atlantic Coast Route. After that I want to cycle on my own route. Mainly because I want to cycle up the Trollstigen Pass and the Dalsnibba mountain. After that I want to pay a visit to the Rallarvegen, which looks very interesting. Shortly after that, Voringsfossen is another destination I want to see. At the end I have 2 options, green is the "easier" route if I'm already tired. The pink route is for the Lysebotn, which I have already visited twice in 2017 and 2018.
This is my current route. Do you have any other ideas about what else I could visit? Is there anything missing that is a must-see? Or is there a better route option? I'm more interested in beautiful views, lakes, mountains and passes. Things like that. I'm less interested in cities.
I'm a trained cyclist who has been doing several thousand kilometers a year for years and have already ridden dozens of passes. Therefore, in theory, no detour should be a problem.
I've already got a lot of informations from a few website. Two of them are these:
https://cyclenorway.com
https://www.visitnorway.de
And I've already got the important tunnel information website:
https://www.cycletourer.co.uk/maps/tunnelmaplrge.shtml
Pictures of the route:
Part 1 Nordkapp - Tromso
Part 2 Tromso - Bodo
Part 3 Bodo - Trondheim
Part 4 Trondheim - Odda
Part 5 Odda - Kristiansand
TLDR:
What tips do you have for my cycle route from north to south? Sights, accommodation tips, must-sees, roads to avoid, etc. along the route in the pictures.
Many thanks in advance!

2024.03.28 20:26 Zemo909090 Any ways to reduce Server Delay
Hi,
I would appreciate some feedback on this.
The store is behind quick.cloud CDN, and is run on Ubuntu 22.04 and LiteSpeed enterprise. Server is hosted at Hetzner in Germany. It is a dedicated VPS with 8vCPU's and 32GB RAM.
I am checking development tools and there is about 2 seconds delay after each click. Regarldes if is a product or a static page.
I optimized databases, removed wordpress/woo bloatware, still the same.
I always see something like this in development tools
