Agreed on the pictures, or at least short and to the point video steps

I'm so tired of looking for cooking or other tutorials and the video is 10 minutes long for a 2 minute task, with 3 minutes of the video dedicated to some scam ad segment and a further three minutes begging for subscribers

Would you want to be in Ukraine when it collapses and the heavily armed neo-Nazi military battalions begin talking about being stabbed in the back?

GBA SP

Loved that era of gaming, loved the gorgeous pixel art for those games, and the console is incredibly portable

One of these days I'll get one of those modern restomod versions with USB charging and all that, and jam a flashcart full of emulators into it

It also runs completely counter to the stated goal of their religion

The bible is pretty clear that the end time is unknowable and until then humans have to be good stewards of the planet. Trying to bring about the apocalypse isn't exactly good stewardship

Ever feel that frustrating moment where you try to click something on your phone and end up clicking one of the buttons near it, so you go back to try again and hit another wrong button, so you go back to try again and

Now imagine that while moving at 100 kmh trying to adjust the AC

And in bold on the first screen you see after booting up, asking you to link an account and saying in large letters it's mandatory

To justify an invasion? We could have invaded anywhere we wanted any time we wanted

This makes it sound like you were born after 2001

Yes, in theory, the US could have invaded Iraq and Afghanistan any time they wanted, but wars in the US always require an excuse of some kind for The International Community (tm), and inevitably are unpopular with one party

The revanchist fury that soaked into the West right after 9/11 is hard to describe if you weren't there. That shit was bipartisan, every liberal went full holden-bloodfeast overnight. News was 24/7 bloodlust, with the initial sucker punch on Baghdad playing live on every news outlet

What followed was 20 years of the biggest MIC grifting the world had ever seen. Billions in failed Future Soldier shit, billions in new weapons. Contractors selling pens valued at a thousand times their worth just to grift a few million more. And then came the PATRIOT Act and other surveillance methods which were accepted to wide acclaim because of 9/11, with no mainstream pushback. It further solidified the vassal relationship of the rest of NATO/the EU to the US as the US dragged others in and began militarily grifting them as well.The pre-9/11 world would be just unrecognizable to anyone born afterwards

Nobody is legitimately arguing that Bush personally contacted the Saudis and asked for Bin Laden. The usual argument is that the Bush regime had intel that they chose not to act on

I've seen it remarked upon in some lib circles... As a positive

They believe any Ukranian male of fighting age who attempts to leave or dodge the draft is a coward complicit in genocide and should be either forced to the front or imprisoned for life

I wish this was a joke yea

but were Slytherin actually explicitly supposed to be the bad guys

Until very recently (ie an offhand mention of a character in one of the last books and that godawful stage play), yes

Every last evil person was a Slytherin. There wasn't a single one that wasn't a bigot and a bully, and every villain character was a Slytherin. It was basically Fascism House

A sterling example comes from that time he launched a massive missile strike against an (empty) airbase in Syria for no discernible reason, and all the lib media was fawning over it and how Trump was maybe turning properly Presidential

Power delivery and communication mostly

EV chargers deliver massive amounts of power, far more than what's delivered by a 120 or 220 socket. You can charge EVs with those but it's usually used to charge overnight because it takes hours instead of the minutes needed for a proper fast charger

You also need to have the car handshake with the charger to know how much power to draw and when to stop, because not every EV on the same charging standard accepts the same power draw, so in addition to the h u g e power phase and ground pins in the connectors you've also got a pin dedicated to talking to the charger to allow it to function properly

Technology Connections on YouTube has tons of videos on the subject, if you want a deeper and more specific dive
