  • I live in Iceland and we try to predict volcanic activity all the time and it’s off by weeks or months. To be fair, that’s a blink of an eye on a geological scale so it’s pretty accurate but the nature of the problem is that you have so many forces that all interact with each other.

    It’s pretty similar to “how far can you tip the chair back before it falls” but we don’t know the size, weight and shape of the chair really well. You just need one fracture in the rock from previous earthquake to throw all the calculations off.

    I don’t know the context of the post but I imagine it’s media related, like a seismologist saying “could be as soon as tomorrow” and the journalist just saying “earthquake tomorrow”. Also seismologist don’t shut up is true.

    What the fuck did you just fucking say about Argentina’s claim to the Falklands, you little shit? I’ll have you know sovereignty passed from Spain to Argentina at independence in 1816 under uti possidetis juris, and Argentina formally claimed the islands in 1820, followed by confirmation and effective occupation from 1826 to 1833. You are nothing to me but another loudmouth denying that history. I will wipe out your arguments with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can toss around “self-determination” like it overrides territorial integrity? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am lining up decades of Argentine protests — 1833, 1841, 1849, 1884, 1888, 1908, 1927, 1933, 1946 and every UN complaint thereafter — and your weak rebuttals are being traced and exposed, so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that buries the myth that British de facto rule since 1833 was anything but an illegal act of force. You’re intellectually dead, kid. I can be anywhere in the argument, anytime, and I can dismantle your “transplanted population” claim in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just by citing principle: the islanders are a transplanted population of British character and nationality, not a separate people under external self-determination doctrine, and thus that doctrine does not apply here. Not only am I extensively trained in international law rhetoric, but I have access to the entire arsenal of historical facts — uti possidetis, effective occupation, the continental-shelf argument from the 1958 Convention — and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your miserable case off the face of the debate, you little bitch. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” dismissal of Argentina’s legal and historical claims was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over your shaky precedent and you will drown in it. You’re fucking argued out, kiddo.

    Jokes aside, Argentina has had a claim on it for ages and we’re slowly gaining influence for a long time until they decided to invade and actually take it. They though the Brits wouldn’t care about a rock on the other side of the world but turns out Thatcher needed a win and got everyone riled up.

    Nobody cared until Argentina invaded but now majority of the population is British military and British workers that support the military and whatnot. It was won with British blood that’s still in living memory so no way people are giving it up to Argentina.

    If Argentina would have just slowly settled the island, support it, have the government do a referendum about unifying with Argentina it would have probably worked but instead they just have the claim.




  • So hating Nickleback become a meme which actually managed to keep the band alive for way longer then other bands in the same category. They still managed to get concerts with great reception for a very long time after their prime with Photograph.

    I saw one interview where they said that once the “hate” dies they’ll not know what to do.


  • I’m very early stages on making my own TUI for http requests that’s shortcut based. Idea is to use Jetbrains format http files. Folders for projects, sidebar for requests etc.

    Supports environments and I’m hoping I can set up the main screen to use Vim.

    It’s born out of postman hate mostly. It’s just so bloated
