It isn’t rude to tell people that you’re doing an activity and that you’re open to having company.

As for being inflexible, you’re doing an activity and inviting people, not finding something to do with people. If they want to do something else, plan to do that a different day, because you’ve already made plans.

Yeah, who could see a constitutional crisis in an authoritarian wannabe despot is using military as police with no real pushback from the courts?

I feel the same way about Charlie and his family as he did about school kids and their families. Like he said, these deaths are acceptable for… some reason.

Say what you will, but he died doing what he loved. Spewing shit out of his neck about school shootings.

None, go by a decent monitor as big as you can and use that instead, or a decent LED projector if you’re so inclined (going that way myself, since my lamp projector ate the last bulb I bought). Actual TVs are trash and just awful to use.

Depends on what subgenres you’re into.

I really enjoy power metal, and Gloryhammer is one of my faves. He has returned, Keeper of the celestial flame, Land of unicorns, Masters of the galaxy, and Rise of the chaos wizards are all ones I really enjoy.

Prog metal is another really good genre, and Between the Buried and Me is amazing and have some fantastic concept albums. Coma Ecliptic has The Coma Machine and Memory Palace being a hell of an earworm. The Great Misdirect has Obfuscation and Feed from Cloud Mountain as those two slots, and The Parallax double album is great (part 1 is a good ep, part 2 is the main album), with Astral Body being one of the main singles and so many tracks that get stuck in my head.

I listed a bunch of other bands in this comment as well that are really good as well: https://lemmy.world/comment/19203007

Metal music is the majority of what I’m listening to most of the time.

Progressive metal is my reset music. Something about a good prog track with crazy technical instrumentality just helps my brain calm down and focus. Between the Buried and Me was the band that got me hooked on prog metal and dirty vocals, and tends to be one of my most listened to artists most of the time.

Power metal is a great genre to work/vibe to. Sabaton was my first venture into the genre, but I’m more into bands like Amaranthe, Powerwolf, and Gloryhammer these days.

Depends, what element is ‘spirit’ and where is it on the periodic table? That will tell you if it came from a star exploding, or if it was just ejected by the star exploding.

Testing how shit blows you up is a weird way to describe ‘helping people’

Word of warning though, check out the company before you do so. My mother in law was in the medical field and had a coworker that did this. The company ended up refusing the body because they had too many bodies. I’ve also heard of your body being used to test munitions, which is pretty much the opposite of what a lot of people would want.

Congrats on doing it the way the website owner wants! You’re now into the content, and you had to waste seconds of processing power to do so (effectively being throttled by the owner), so everyone is happy. You can’t overload the site, but you can still get there after a short wait.

You’re given the challenge to solve by the server, yes. But just because the challenge is provided to you, that doesn’t mean you can fake your way through it.

You still have to calculate the answer before you can get any farther. You can’t bullshit/spoof your way through the math problem to bypass it, because your correct answer is required to proceed.

There is no way around this, is there?

Unless the server gives you a well-known problem you have the answer to/is easily calculated, or you find a vulnerability in something like Anubis to make it accept a wrong answer, not really. You’re stuck at the interstitial page with a math prompt until you solve it.

Unless I’m misunderstanding your position, I’m not sure what the disconnect is. The original question was about spoofing the challenge client side, but you can’t really spoof the answer to a complicated math problem unless there’s an issue with the server side validation.

Dill hot pickles, none of that nasty sweet pickle shit.

Please, explain to us how you expect to spoof a math problem that you have to provide an answer to the server before proceeding.

You can math all you want on the client, but the server isn’t going to give you shit until you provide the right answer.

Well, project 2025 was released a few years ago, and is not directly related to the current presidential administration. And to add onto that, the fascist right across the world have been reading from the same playbook for a while, so it’s perfectly understandable to assume that non-american fascists are using a similar playbook to gain control of their respective countries.

I doubt if charge backs even made a fraction of a difference in this. This is entirely about power, with the republicans enacting their christofaacist project 2025 agenda to try to turn the US into a religious hellhole based on their twisted read of the Bible (which, realistically, is nothing more than a cudgel welded by principle-less opportunists taking advantage of the stupid and religious).

Project 2025. They literally bragged about the shit they wanted to do while claiming they had nothing to do with it.

It baffles me that people are surprised this is happening, but a large majority of the voting population either doesn’t care or are ok with this.

Fucking barf. They’re gonna breed an even more toxic culture than reddit with that bullshit.

If you thought karma whoring was bad when they just had a number to chase, imagine how bad it will be when you have direct visibility of your competition on being the biggest karma whore in town…
