The idea that the allies would have won operation unthinkable is fucking insane to me
  • EmmaGoldman EmmaGoldman 2d ago 100%

    Man, I wish they would have tried.

    General Patton having his "oh shit" moment hunkered down in Paris at 2 am before the partisans shot him.

    The KPRA helping General MacArthur do his best no-fash impression.

    The shocking realizations among the Western Allies that their local fifth columns are a lot larger, better armed, and dedicated than they had anticipated.

    A Pyrrhic victory would look much more like a loss than they ever could have anticipated. The British had an entire empire to lose and they absolutely would have. Nuking Moscow would have been impossible, nuking Paris or Berlin would only have led to a more unilateral opposition from the rest of the world as this became a global war of class struggle.

    It's pretty much the exact same thing in the US. Even if you don't have to show a state ID/driver's license, you have to be on the list and usually need to show something. You can only get on the list by registering, which requires US citizenship.

    The apparent source of this propaganda is based around the concept that some areas allow people with only a Permanent Residency but who have not yet gotten citizenship to vote in some local elections, like school board members, mayors, or on local referenda. This still notably doesn't apply to anyone who isn't a permanent resident or citizen nor does it allow permanent residents to vote for the president, or even moderately important figures like congresspeople or governors.

    It seems like they're all really expensive, with most halfway decent ones being over $1000. It also seems like they're really finicky and hard to get working consistently. Are there any 3d printers that are actually a refined product, something you can just get and start using? I don't want to spend most of my time fiddling with the settings and having to buy a ton of upgrades in the hopes of getting it to be a functional machine that can actually be used to print out parts. If there are any out there that are basically self-maintaining or highly automated in terms of configuring themselves correctly, is it only the really expensive ones, or are there more affordable sort of "get and forget" printers that you can just set up and start using?

    Looking for a matching set (brand/aesthetic wise) of a mechanical keyboard and mouse for gaming that: - Isn't super tacky or coated in branding - Has a detachable usb c cable (sick of mini-usb and I will never be okay with a fixed cable on a keyboard) - Has build quality that's actually halfway decent - Isn't ludicrously expensive - Is compatible with something like Artemis RGB or Aurora RGB for aRGB game integration (my little crow brain likes when the blinky gamer lights change colors when I reload and stuff in games) I don't know if I'm just bad at researching this sort of thing but it really seems like all the options out there only meet one or two of these requirements at best. Is this just the state of the market when it comes to these things? Do I need to build a custom keyboard?

    My Thinkpad p50 came stock with a [terrible BOE display](https://www.panelook.com/NV156FHM-N42_BOE_15.6_LCM_overview_26390.html) that I despise, the colours are awful and the backlight is worse. I know you can swap it out for less crappy displays, I'm just wondering if there's any reason that [this Samsung OLED panel](https://www.panelook.com/ATNA56YX03-0_Samsung_15.6_OLED_parameter_49379.html) (the only one I could find on panelook with the seemingly correct specs) wouldn't work. If anyone could double check this before I blow like $250CAD on a display that'd be super.
