@sun Although he's enjoying the music, obviously it could all be driven by an electric motor too (if the slight adjustments to the machine are encoded as wel). I just thought it looked similar to your MIDI setup. His name is Patrick Mathis, in case anyone is curious.
@sun Maybe that is how self-defense works in an ideal world, but it's not how courts in the U.S. view the matter. So your analogy crashes down.
In addition, personally I had it with this whole "war of aggression" thing. In fact, my views evolved, or I walked off the plantation on this, if you will, before the big war in Ukraine in 2022, and certainly before Israel carried out their revenge for 10/7. Remember how Pol-Pot established the still unbeaten record of people killed per capita (in modern times, of course -- Genghis Khan genocided people completely)? The only thing that saved the remainder of Campucheans was a naked war of aggression by Vietnam.
@sun@ageha Yeah but ... I have my excuses! In order to denounce a citizenship, I must produce a document from the federal tax inspection that I don't have any unpaid taxes. But they aren't giving me one because I left so long ago that there were no computerized records back then, and my former local office misplaced my file in one of the moves. Also I have to pay $2,500 fee, which is a small price to pay for freedom TBH
@ageha@arcana@sun No calculus, only physics here, sadly. But I have Usenix proceedings and JB.Wood. The Webber's Way To Grill is the most used one, it's falling apart.
@sun@arcana I also happen to have a collection of sci-fi stories by Yasutaka Tsutsui, because I wanted to translate "Circular Railways" (環状線) into English. But so far I only re-typed it into a computer text: http://anime.zaitcev.us/cucui1-orig.pdf
How comes so many people translate all the web novels, three years of cum making a glopping sound when poring into Asuna, but not this.
@sun Nelson is the way to go, although apparently it was forked? Mine is "Revised edition" (blue) and yours is "2nd edition" (red). But it's quite good, I often use it if computerized component lookup fails.
