Ah, I completely forgot about Cuno. I really should replay DE.

^still annoying to do that IRL though^

Why is Cuno talking about themself in the 3rd person? Should Cuno cut that out?

Yes.

I think it’s a Mickey7 alt account

All that work for a 7??

I’ve interacted with them before, I don’t think they’re a troll, just a chronically online weirdo with barely any understanding of anything they’re talking about.

Why don’t you go and live in Russia, help defend them against the naughty evil Westerners then? Or better yet, go and fight on the front lines and defend mother Russia from the American empire, they’re recruiting right now!

Now who’s sounding brainwashed

So is Russia currently engaged in an imperialist invasion and occupation of a neighbour to exert regional control and seize resources or is that just me being brainwashed?

So criticising Russia or China is being brainwashed but criticising a Western country being open-minded and enlightened. Got it.

What about the rote Russian propaganda that the person I responded to regurgitated?

^ this right here is why people can’t stand you lot

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon.

A journalist spends a year (1988) embedded in the Baltimore PD homicide division. Forensically analyses every aspect of the murder investigation from crime scene all the way through to trial.

The book, and the work behind it, became the primary inspiration for Simon’s subsequent television work Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire.

Mutants: On the Form, Varieties and Errors of the Human Body by Armand Marie Leroi.

Leroi uses classical “mutant” forms of the Human Body to examine the processes and mechanisms of how the body builds and maintains itself. Expertly explains quite complex biological concepts in an understandable and engaging way and breaks down the myths and stories around real life" monsters".

There’s some legitimate criticism of Guns, Germs, and Steel. Some of the author’s key assertions are incorrect but by and large a very well informed and exhaustively researched.

Most of the vitriol around it though seems to have missed the point. Diamond uses the book to argue against the idea of euro-exceptionalism but a loud part of society sees it as arguing the exact opposite.

Basically, what I’m saying is, don’t read it as gospel but an exceptional book that examines the way the world became the way it did from a fairly balanced perspective.

CAT6 is rated for 10Gbps up to 55m or 1Gbps up 100m. In reality, outside with no other RF interference sources speed losses upto 100m are going to be negligible even on CAT5.

Even a 4k video stream only uses 24Mbps on average so whatever you use above CAT5/5e would be more than enough.

Roughly 95% of all new autism cases in the last 10 years can be accounted for in the broader definition of what autism is.

Plus the idea that DNA has “degraded” and that’s what causes autism is, frankly, so stupid as to be hilarious.

Even as recently as 30 or 40 years ago, “problem” children would be hidden away, either in the home or sent to some sort of facility. Neuro divergence was a hidden issue.
