I was just talking to a friend a couple of days ago, that Indian Americans are playing a weird role in US politics. They seem to be some of the worst folks in existence e.g. Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswami etc.; and also some of the best e.g. Zohran Mamdani, Ro Khanna, Shri Thanedar, Pramila Jayapal etc. There doesn’t seem to be any centrist Indian American politician lol.

This happens to me pretty regularly while watching YouTube. I forget that I shouldn’t be able to hear a siren that loudly over noice cancellation even if it was right outside my door.

The error is ~1/log(x), for anyone interested.

I have opened some before, but every single time, I’m just kind of awestruck that this thing actually works. It’s such a delicate dance of these rapidly moving components, it’s hard to even comprehend. SSDs are much much simpler in comparison.

Thanks, I’ll see if I can find anything.

Btw, shiny platter lol.

I guess I can try facebook marketplace. But then I’ll have to reactivate my account. The local food pantry does keep some hardware. (I once found a VGA cable there lol.) I’ll talk to them to see if they’ll accept it in this condition.

Thanks. Yeah, I would take the HDD of course. I don’t know if I’ll take it apart, but definitely not giving it away lol.

Also, in case someone wants the rest of the machine for any reason, I’m happy to send it over if they just pay for shipping.

Paradox of tolerance type shi

That reminds me, there’s this anti-capitalist, anti-war children’s film by Satyajit Ray called Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne. In it, there’s a song that says that the king is sad and afraid since he has so much money. He tries to cope by punishing others, but it never makes him happy. The only solution offered was to let go of all his riches, and that finally made him happy.

It was for children, so I understand why sadness was used instead of fear. But they do need to be afraid.

As an aside, I think that movie had a decent impact in the communist revolution that happened in my state in the 70-80s. Ray has made some of the greatest movies in the history of cinema, but his children’s films still hold a dear place in the hearts of many generations of Bengalis.

Man, I’ll honestly just stick to tea if it comes to that. The only good robusta drink I’ve ever had was some south Indian filter coffee (also kalled filter kaapi). It’s traditionally a mix of robusta and chicory, but you can make it with Arabica if you want. The flavor profile is kinda similar to that of a Mokapot brew.

But other than that, I vastly prefer a cup of first flush Darjeeling tea.

Then a large percentage of tall men would have to stay single, since women are shorter on average. I’ve personally met very few women who are my height, and I’m not even that tall.

Thank you for your service.

It’s DoW now, baby. And apparently, it’s over 50,000!

A low level, somewhat sincere, cop.
(Just finished Kohrra S2. It was pretty good.)

Also, this is the only kind of thing that seems to get to them. Call them corrupt, they’ll revel in it. Call them ugly, that gets under their skin.

To bastardize a very popular quote, everything in this world is is political, except for politics. Politics is about money.
