  • Last night while watching videos of nuclear strikes like a normal person, I thought about how the coming election would be such an opportune time for Russia to strike the US. It could strike while Trump is going off on his stolen election bs, say that Harris is too weak and that’s why Putin struck (whatever bs), and send the country into pure madness. I know it’s insane and very unlikely, but I’m still worried about the election. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Either Trump wins and we’re all screwed, or Trump loses and starts a legit insurrection. I hope I’m so wrong.










  • The houses in Florida are built considering hurricanes, so they are more sturdy. Also, Florida is super flat and it has been raining everyday for months, so the ground was permeable but a little full already. Because it’s also near the ocean, the water can spread out into sea quickly.

    The houses in NC are much less sturdy, so they would be more susceptible to wind damage. Also, because of the mountains, the valleys become pools of flood water. The ground there is much harder than in Florida, so it doesn’t absorb the rain as much. Since the pools are in the mountains, there’s only two ways for the water to leave. For the lucky valleys that aren’t entirely surrounded, the water can escape through the gaps making temporary rivers. The other route is through evaporation, which takes a long time. This delays the ability of recovery efforts because people literally can’t even get to the disaster zone.








  • Comet C/2023 A3’s coma is about 2.8 feet in diameter and the tail measures about 16.9 feet in length.

    Its closest approach to Earth will be on Oct. 11 or 12, according to BBC Sky at Night. It will still be about 44 million miles away.

    It’s so tiny! I’m surprised we can see something that small from such a far distance.

    For observers in the Northern Hemisphere, comet C/2023 A3 can be found in the constellation Sextans and will rise one hour before the sun, according to Astronomy.com.

    The comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere in the evening, just after sunset, when it is low in the southwestern sky.

    I’m confused. Is the best time to see it just before sunrise or just after sunset??


  • That’s the only way I use it. I auto-start the panel applet, and it connects automatically for me. My only complaint is that if I let it choose “the best” server to connect to, it picks a server in another state more often than not, and I rather it only pick servers in my state. As a work-around, I force a specific server in my state. The downside is that it probably makes me more trackable to sites since I connect to them from the same IP every time, but I’m sure it doesn’t really matter since they finger print my browser. I’m more concerned with encrypted communication than anonymity anyway. It’s not like the bank or YouTube doesn’t know it’s me when I sign in.

    If anyone knows how to make it select among servers within a specific state automatically on auto-start, pls let me know.



  • I don’t call any of my friends losers. If I call them a weirdo, I mean it as a compliment. I’m a weirdo myself. I don’t think the problem is your sex life or desires. The problem might be that you don’t have strong boundaries. Maybe have a boundary where you won’t tolerate being called a loser. Tell them you don’t like that. If they continue to do so, then stop hanging out with them. If they get upset, that’s their problem. You don’t have to tolerate that. Even better, there are people out there that don’t want to call you a loser. You just haven’t found them yet, and it’s going to be hard to find them if you keep spending time with people that don’t want you to be respected.
