Echo Dot

That’s a different definition of wasted though. The RAM isn’t lost just because it isn’t being currently utilised. It’s sitting there waiting for me to open a intensive task.

What I am objecting to is programs using more RAM than they need simply because it’s currently available. Aka chromium.

Iran considers UK military bases to be valid targets anyway.

I mean I have access to a computer with a terabyte of RAM I’m gonna go ahead and say that most applications aren’t going to need that much and if they use that much I’m gonna be cross.

I don’t know why electron has to use so much memory up though. It seems to use however much RAM is currently available when it boots, the more RAM system has the more electron seems to think it needs.

It takes forever to boot I know that and that’s from fast food which is extra pathetic.

Didn’t even ask me either.

It wasn’t that secret though was it? People knew about it, they just didn’t do anything about it.

He’ll back down like he always backs down. He doesn’t have the patience to be a true warlord, he’s the laziest man alive, he gets bored of things even when he’s not the one doing the work.

No needs a narrative to make America look bad. The Americans do it to themselves.

Is the article pay walled? I can read it in its entirety. I’d happily copy and paste it into the comments but it’s probably against the rules.

The goal is to be at war. The US is always at war. There is always an enemy to fight, if there is no convenient enemy to fight then you go to some random country, invade it, and thus create an enemy, who they proceed to then lose to.

For bonus points you should kill as many civilians as possible while claiming to be the liberators. Also you should, on the way out, backstab as many people that assisted you as possible.

Oh yeah I’ve seen the AI generated imagery. It’s going to have missiles and lasers and lots and lots of guns. And it’s going to sit out there in the ocean being completely useless, and then at night $2,000 worth of drones are going to come in under stealth of dark and they’re going to land, then they’re going to explode and sink it.

The cost disparity is enormous.

The US navy knows this which is why they haven’t been building lots of ships lately. But Trump doesn’t care about any of that he wants to ship with his name on it.

The problem is if you’re being attacked by a swarm of angry bees your giant stick used for attacking humans isn’t much use. The US likes to criticise other countries for under spending on their military but they themselves haven’t used their military funding to maximum efficiency either.

Trump is talking about building a new kind of battleship despite them being completely useless in any contemporary war.

The US hasn’t really invested in anti-drone weapons, despite the obvious risk they pose as demonstrated in Ukraine.

So instead they’re trying to blow up a $200 drone with a multi-million dollar missile, and they don’t even have a 100% hit rate. Things like RF jammers, real big nets, and big foam darts would be just as effective if not more so as they could take up multiple target simultaneously, and considerably cheaper and reusable. But nope.

With all that laying experience at least it’ll be a good and convincing lie, and not an obviously transparent and easily disproved one.

Surely you are not trying to suggest that the US went into this with absolutely no plan whatsoever?

They haven’t taken anything. The US oil companies have zero interest in Venezuela primarily because setting up operations would be prohibitively expensive.

Cost benefit analysis is a thing and the Trump administration are far too stupid to be able to cope with it. Essentially it may not actually be worth exploiting another country, this being a concept that Trump cannot understand because he has the brain of a chronically depressed fruit fly.

That’s not how budgets work. The US has a massive air carrier fleet where do you think they got that from did it just spring into existence no they paid for it.

the world is using moving away from using the US dollar as the world’s default currency. They’re not going to have unlimited amounts of money for much longer.

It wasn’t just the smear campaign against Corbyn though. He did quite a lot of shooting himself in the foot as well, which really didn’t help matters.

But really none of that should matter to Labour, the media are for the most part in the pockets of the right anyway so who cares what they say. Most Labour voters won’t read those papers anyway.

What’s pissing off a lot of traditional Labour voters is all this fence sitting he is trying to do. People elected a liberal government, so obviously they are going to be expecting some liberal policies, that was what they voted for, that’s what they wanted. If they wanted someone to sit on the fence and ruminate about every possible decision the Liberal Democrats are right there. The reason that the Greens didn’t get a lot of votes this time around was because people didn’t want to split the vote, but if Labour are just going to be Tory Lite (although frankly not that lite) then who cares, we might as well risk it because otherwise we’ll end up with a right-wing government either way. It baffles me that no one in Labour HQ can see that.

I honestly think that if labour just fall on lent into it, they would probably get way more votes than they currently do.

Well that was obvious from the start. By all means arrest people who commit crimes but calling those crimes terrorism was insanely stupid.

It wasn’t even done any particularly sinister reason, it was just them being dumb. Terrorism charges obviously carries longer prison sentences, but that in no way benefited the government, so there was no reason for them to do that. They just came off looking bad at a time when they really needed their public image to improve. I’ve said this before but it bears repeating because every time a story like this comes out it makes labour look like the US republicans but they’re not. They’re just really really really really stupid.

Starmer used to be a human rights lawyer, so I don’t understand how he’s so bad at his job.
