@ivesen I've used bluetooth mouse + audio and sometimes even + gamepad, without experiencing what you're describing. So maybe there's something wrong with your particular hardware config, or you have way too much radio pollution where you're at.

As for why bluetooth isn't being replaced: backwards compatibility. Also, bluetooth was designed to be low power usage. That is basically the biggest limiting factor.

@ivesen Don't know this game, but in general, I'm quite confident that there's a lot of undisclosed sponsorships or other deals, by which vtubers advertise games.

@icedquinn
Saw a clip of Neuro being surprised about the news. Some days later, apparently the AI was contemplating graduating. Crazy stuff.

@cR0w
This is outrageous! I look NOTHING like any of those nya~!

@mischievoustomato
I'm concerned that these keep happening, but not in the way you think. My concern is, how many fucking game journalists are/were there, that they keep needing to fire them in multiple rounds? How vastly overbloated were the outlets, to where they couldn't cut once and be done?

@verita84
I'm the same, but with Linux and Windows.

@LukeAlmighty I think the lore behind that part is that it's technically not a laser per se. It's supposedly not photons. It's main energy output is not heat energy, but kinetic energy. And I assume he manages to melt things because when the kinetic energy hits, and has nowhere to go, it starts converting into heat energy in the object it hits (kinda like how you can supposedly cook meat by repeatedly slapping it).
>but then why don't the glasses heat up, because the beam does hit them
Not sure tbh. But I generally got the impression that the glasses reflect the beam back at the source, his eyes. Which... well, if they can generate something that weird, they can probably take it back in too. I also heard that the eyes technically don't generate the beams, but rather they act as a portal to some weird ass dimension where this energy just exists everywhere. So the energy just escapes through his eyes.

But again, most of the things I know about X-Men come from the animated shows, especially the original 90s run. So my knowledge is as accurate as those shows were.

But is it quite fascinating to see the lengths various writers went to to explain some of these physically impossible powers.

@LukeAlmighty
>create translucent glass capable of letting all of the external light through
That's the neat part. It doesn't. It actually blocks most colors. I think it somehow only lets the red part of the spectrum through. Or at least that's how it has been portrayed in adaptations. Maybe it works differently in the source material.

@j Either psychopaths or autists. I doubt that you'll find many billionaires that don't fit one of these. Mark Zuckerberg is likely both.

@ChristiJunior
I don't blame her. Her party literally back-stabbed her. And while I like literally no one in these elections, the truth is, she proved herself back in November, when she came in second, ahead of all pro-EU candidates.
The logical move in my view would have been, for all pro-EU parties to stand behind her, and show support for her, if this pro-EU/NATO stance was so critically important, like they claim it is. Like why the hell are you looking for new candidates, and dragging Antonescu from the mothballs, if you already have Lasconi, who you know could get people's votes? This is not a matter of polls saying she had support, she literally got the votes once already.

I'm not in the mood to talk more on this, but the way I see it, literally everyone in this race, their minds have been broken by paranoia.
AUR was basically build on paranoia, and Simion is there by default. USR have their own brand of paranoia, and their new favorite leech Nicușor is suddenly inventing conspiracy theories that someone is buying bots to follow his TikTok, and somehow that damages his reach (and Ponta is making the same accusation). Antonescu and crowd are full in the "Călin/Simion/AUR are gonna pull us out of EU/NATO" paranoia, or the even more pathetic "they're with the Russians".

So there is no option where something improves with this election. The best chance we've got might literally be if the elections get cancelled again, and that forces US to intervene in Europe in some way. Otherwise, it doesn't matter, because they were all driven to insanity, and they'll all do something stupid if they get into office.

@ChristiJunior
Haven't payed attention to polls. I think Simion is leading, and Nicușor is second. I don't think Antonescu has a chance to get in the 2nd round.
And between Simion and Nicușor, it's hard to say what will happen. On one hand, I don't think Antonescu or Lasconi voters would all go to Nicușor, but I don't see them going for Simion either. But for anyone who genuinely believes the fear-mongering, they'll vote for Nicușor, and will give him a good shot at beating Simion in the second term.

@ChristiJunior
It is Fascist, but in a more sneaky way, because it is trying to dissolve existing national identities, and replace them with the European identity. This has been a thing for a looong time. "EU citizenship" or "citizen of EU" have been phrases used by media and various organizations for many years.

I wouldn't be surprised if the influx of immigrants is because they were pissed that people wouldn't renounce their national identities and adopt "EU citizenship", so they're trying to speed it up by breaking nations. They're pissed that the average person still sees themselves as Romanian, French, German, etc., first and foremost. So they think they can break people to the point where Romanian has no meaning to them, and people only say "yeah, I'm European".

And I think it worked for Brits to some extent, to where a good portion of the country think anyone and anything is British. They probably didn't leave EU fast enough.

@ChristiJunior
Yup. I think Șoșoacă is a complete joke of a person, but that decision was absolutely atrocious. At this point, you might as well straight out admit that EU is a fascist superstate, and all speech against EU government is illegal.
You can't possibly say about a state that it is independent if it is not allowed to decide on what alliances it makes with other states, and how can a state make those decisions if the elected politicians are not allowed to have opinions about such alliances?

>but it's in the Constitution, and the president is required to ensure the Constitution is upheld
Yeah, and the Constitution can require change and improvements. The president is also required to able to be smart enough and competent enough to recognize if that's the case and issue recommendations.
We don't elect politicians to blindly uphold laws put into place years or decades ago, we elect them to be able to change things when it is needed.
Instead, the Court basically forbade politicians from ever looking to improve the fundamental law.

What a fucking joke...

@EssentialUtinsil @VD15 @Jens_Rasmussen @sickburnbro @themilkman
I'll be honest, I don't remember exactly how it was taught to me in school, but I think it was more of a "this electron bumps into and pushes the next electron over, which bumps and pushes the next one, etc".

It's hilarious to see how foreigners deeply misunderstand the political situation in Romania, and how transparent they are in trying to use Romania's shit for a propaganda video against EU. And a bad propaganda video at that.

Some Indian sounding bloke is trying to convince the world that a single Court of Appeal ruling against a decision of the Constitution Court has any merit.
To put it in a context Americans can understand, it's the equivalent to how your courts tried to control how Trump conducts immigration policy. Basically the Appeal Court has no power over the Constitution Court. In fact, no court and neither any other state institution have any power over decisions made by the Constitution Court, just like nobody has power over what the US Supreme Court decides.

And in fact, by the time this stupid video came out, the decision of the Appeal Court was already overturned, and the judge responsible for it is being investigated by his peers (a council of other judges that we have as an official institution) to make sure his decision wasn't influenced by corruption or political bias, or something like that.

There's a lot wrong with what happened at the end of last year, and this year, in Romania, but doing bad propaganda, and trying to use our country for your right-wing grift against EU, isn't helpful.
It serves only to discredit the people here who are upset with the cancelling of an election without a valid motivation, and evidence to back up the reason.

There's still the potential of a foreign cyber attack, or some kind of EMP disturbing the network, but the government will NEVER admit to it if it is the real cause. Best evidence for an attack would be if authorities keep saying they don't know the cause a few months after this.

They're not gonna admit that green energy left the energy grid unstable and caused this either. But if this is the cause of the blackout, you can expect the government to silently take measures to reinforce the grid, measures that are designed specifically to address this weakness. And there will likely be non-governmental providers and investigators that will be able to prove it over time.

So basically, I think people will need to be patient for the truth on this one, but also be careful not to forget about it, and allow their government to escape scrutiny.
