Thank you for the clarification, that’s really interesting.

Was desertion specifically deserting a line unit on rotation? Could an enlisted person willingly leave when their unit was rotated off the line for resupply for example? Or was it more a situation where upon enlistment you willfully submitted to the commands authority for the period of enlistment?

Do you have any recommendations for reading material on that subject specifically? I had just assumed the CNT operated like most of the other militias I mentioned, although now that I’m thinking about it I guess most of the anecdotal evidence for fighters dropping in and out at will are foreign (predominantly white) volunteers, so that just might be my privilege showing.

It’s because I’m petty as fuck. While I absolutely recognize that nothing I do will have any influence on the Turkish government at all, I like to imagine some Turkish bureaucrat will somehow stumble over my usage and be mildly annoyed.

Again, I recognize that this is petty, ultimately pointless, and probably indicative of just generally unhealthy behavior/decision-making on my part.

Edit - I think it stems from a thought process of “Oh, you want me to spell Turkey differently? Yeah well the Armenians would like you to recognize literal genocide, so fuck you and fuck your spelling.”

Yeah I’ll stop spelling it Turkey and start calling it Turkiÿe when they officially recognize the Armenian genocide and start being apologetic for the massacres, genocides, and forced displacements they’ve perpetrated against Armenians, Greeks, Kurds, and Assyrians.

It’s copying Star Wars Galaxies. Never forget what they took from us.

Damn. As someone who also was adopted by psycho evangelicals and has spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on therapy to unpack all the shit they left me with, I get it. ❤️

Idk I’m watching Arcane S2 and I haven’t paid for Netflix since like 2009. My FIOS went out last night due to that weird East Coast outage and I stayed watching Arcane, while my neighbors were unable to access any streaming services.

Why not just say search, searching, or searches?

My gaming pc is on a custom water loop, cpu and gpu. I don’t like leaving it on/asleep, when I’m done with it for the night. If it starts leaking while I’m there on the computer I’ll see or smell it. If it starts leaking while I’m asleep or at work, expensive components are fried.

I’ve been running a custom loop for 10 years at this point and have never once had a leak, bc I flow the loop without power to any components, and with paper towels under each fitting, for like 24 hours each time I change anything out. I’m still always paranoid that shit will just decide to leak on me one day though lol. Also I was having weird issues with wake from sleep and my kvm, to the point where I was having to reboot my pc when I’d sit down at it after work anyway, so why not just shut off and not deal with that frustration after work?

Either way it has nothing to do with power savings.

I should have just scrolled down before responding to that bigoted fuck. But yeah, the fact that genital mutilation is fine, as long as it follows their assigned at birth gender, is ridiculous and completely fucking hypocritical, although that tracks for evangelicals and the right.

Circumcision reinforces the control they get off on, so it’s ok. Gender affirming care subverts both their control and their backwards worldview so it’s not and cognitive dissonance can get fucked.

I know better than to respond to someone like you, but I’m doing it anyway bc I’m a masochist or something idk.

If you’re not ok mutilating children, then how about you ban non-elective circumcision first. You know the thing that’s being performed on newborn baby boys at an almost infinitely higher rate (in the US at least) than any sort of gender reassignment on children.

Idk. I got extraordinarily drunk in Vegas, put a twenty in a dollar slot machine, thought I would get 20 pulls, pulled once, lost all my money, them never touched a slot machine again.

Yeah, trade Virginia for Alberta.

So this is Florence and her machine?

This is how I’ve always felt about hydrogen peroxide, even though people now say it does more harm than good? So I guess I get it.

I understand that, but they’re wrong.

That’s still just a cellular modem stuffed in to a much better router though. It’s a cellular connection. Yea, with 5g it’s a ton better than 3g, but it’s a cellular connection, provided to you by a cellular network operator. Cellular network operators are their own thing, regulated by the FCC as their own thing, whether the cellular connection is happening on your phone or on your cellular company provided router, it’s still connecting to the cellular network.

Look. Starlink is a satellite internet provider right? But you understand that no wires are physically connecting the starlink terminal to the starlink satellites right? It’s “wireless”. Starlink is not a WISP, it’s a satellite internet provider. T-Mobile or Verizon or whoever aren’t WISPs, they are cellular network operators. They are separate and distinct things.

Language has meaning, words have meaning. A WISP isn’t just an ISP using technology that doesn’t need a wire to your house, it’s a specific thing. You’re using it wrong.

Edit - I can put a SIM card in my MikroTik right now, then unplug the Ethernet cable that runs to my ONT box, and have unbroken internet access. That doesn’t suddenly make the cellular network provider a WISP, it makes them a cellular network provider. I’m accessing the cellular network. They’re providing me access to the network over cellular. Idk how else to explain this.

I just hit 80% capacity on my NAS, so I was already prepping to buy a couple drives this Black Friday. Maybe I’ll just buy one or two more, which should ride me through the next 4 years.

Just got a 4080s this past winter, and my CPU is still going pretty strong so I’m feeling pretty lucky. It’s fucking bullshit that I even need to think like this though.

Ah, that would make sense.

I never said anything about a microwave cooking food, I said they used microwave radios.

A hotspot is a cellular modem with a wireless lan radio. It is provided by cellular network operators in order to allow the connection of non-cellular network devices to connect to the cellular network, and thus the internet as a whole.

A WISP is not a cellular network operators, a WISP is a Wireless ISP, who provide internet to customers over wireless microwave radios.

The FCC classifies and regulates these operators as distinct entities. I am not splitting hairs, they are different.

Go to WISPAPALOOZA and tell all the WISP people that cellular operators are WISPs lol.

I guarantee you there’s no cellular network operators who are members of WISPA.

That’s not a WISP, just fyi. That’s just a cellular hot spot. Cellular hot spots operate on frequencies in the RF spectrum, the same frequencies that your cell phone connects to.

A WISP is an ISP that serves internet over microwave radios, which operate not in RF frequencies but in microwave frequencies. They might use point to multi point radios, where a radio on a mountain top feeds signal to many smaller radios at each subscribers house in a valley below. They might also have fiber to an apartment building, with fiber to each unit, then use a point to point radio as a wireless backhaul to connect another apartment building across a river that can’t have fiber run directly to it. They’ll still have fiber running to each unit in that second building though.

TLDR; cellular providers are not WISPs.
