i view it as everyone is wrong about shit sometimes. the real problems arise when you're wrong, powerful, and unwilling to be flexible

Rest area payphones. Its why most rest areas have a huge blown up atlas map these days

edit: and as a note, the death of the rest area payphone is a huge problem some places. you ever look at a coverage map for west virginia? you break down or get lost out there and you're totally fucked

The location of the target sends Russia and hopefully some of the Russian populace two messages:

  1. Ukraine has the technical capability to hit Moscow
  2. Ukraine chooses their targets based on tactical strategic value, not based on instilling terror

The second triangle is 5 on account of the black triangle on the inside and the compound triangle made up of all three smaller triangles and the fourth negative space triangle. I believe the formula for how many triangles is linear because each iteration of the fractal can be represented as scooping more negative space triangles from the existing set of triangles. Each iteration you scoop out the same number of black triangles as you had white triangles the previous iteration, creating two more white triangles for every white triangle you had before, and adding one more compound triangle.

The numbers we see though from each early iteration are as follows:

1 -> 5 -> 17 -> 53 -> 161

Which happens to conform with 3(n-1)+2

I want another iteration after this one, but if we get a next one it's almost certainly the final iteration. These posts were consistently getting upper 200s until the last one made it into the 400s. This tells me that people who were on the fence about this gave an up vote to keep it going one more time that hadn't been up voting it before. Maybe there's enough people who want to keep it going one more time to cross today's threshold, but I doubt people who weren't feeling this before are going to be converted and get us beyond 5x what people were voting on it before it got close to its natural ending point

The main concern is going to be hardware reliability from wear and tear. That's the value of buying refurbished, for which there are several reputable retailers online (some of which selling degoogled phones with their own OSes). On the software side, since I'm presuming the focus of this discussion is installing grapheneos, its not really a concern since you're going to be reflashing the device

BRICS is more about resisting european hegemony to establish a new hegemony than anything. As a unit, sometimes they'll say something real as hell, but generally speaking 90% of what they do is the same evil backstabbing shit we always talk about the US doing to influence global economics and sustain power. When BRICS is taken into consideration with the G-7 what we actually see is a two party system of global torture that more than anything wants to maintain the basic status quo, they just want to shift slightly who's on top

10 years ago he published a game that went viral for being a specific addictive form of frustrating. Some people bullied the shit out of him so he divorced himself of his game and out the whole thing behind him. Fast forward 10 years, because he divorced himself of the game he didn't really think about it when his IP protections expired. This had consequences when unscrupulous motherfuckers published a clone of his original game as a crypto scam of some sort (I haven't looked into the specifics yet). So now he has to think about his old game again and tell all us he's not scamming us
