Other Geeky Stuff / Re: Best VPN Service to improve latency from US to EU?
« Last post by doloresgriffin on Mon, 22 June 2026, 09:46:08 »
Improving latency with a VPN can be tricky because it really depends on routing and server locations. I've had decent results testing different providers when gaming with friends in Europe. On my iPhone, I tried the FastVPN app (apps.apple.com/us/app/fastvpn-secure-private/id1381516895) for a few weeks, and connecting through a server closer to the game server actually gave me more stable ping during evening sessions. It won't work for every game, but it's definitely worth testing a few server locations before settling on one provider.

People don't get it.

The primary currency of "the World." is not Dollars,  it's OIL.

We held the middle ease Hostage, because all of their money MUST go through our banking system.  That OIL money MUST return into our capital markets.
 
We then borrow against that "incoming" "recycling",  Allowing, us to PRINT,  which amounts to a disproportionate influx of "Resources/Buys" INTO the American ground base.

NOW,    That WHOLE THINGAMaboob, is blown up.


We can NO LONGER enforce this system..  Ontop of the fact,  that "Our Vassals" (the human rulers in the mid-ease) are "Extremely Unpopular.",  These were merely the mud-hut people the British installed when they left and handed the keys to the 'Murikns

For example, Bahrain (royals), they straight up left, poof, if they went back, they would be killed.

That is to say, that whole region may enter Civil war.   and IN CIVIL WAR,   No one controls anything,  that unpredictability makes the coordinated investment REQUIRED to EXTRACT OIL and SELL OIL,  virtually impossible.


This is WHY.... KPLER... project that the Mid-Ease may only achieve 45% of Pre-War output  FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.  Representing a 15% immediate contraction of World Energy, and as you know the association between GDP and Energy is .95-.99.


Tp4 doesn't necessarily agree with this,  if they side with the Eastrn security architecture, in principle, the Eurasian powers DO have the economic and industrial capacity to restore Extraction rates,   BUHHHhhhhh,  this makes no difference on OUR end,  WE LOSE. 

So, the power on the "Muriknu' side has to decide, our options are some combination of,  Stagflation, World Conflagration, Deep Economic Depression.  The only other option is to Continue the war, which will lead to Hyper-Inflation in the West.

At this point in time, the only thing that looks certain for America, is Insolvency, should there be a CALL- exercised on part of "The rest of the world".

Assuming they don't do that, basically our wiener falls off anyway.

It's kinda weird that we don't have the technology to do such a thing.

Can not be overstated,

Motorized Lift = Critical for Perfect sit/stand TV-as-monitor use.


In general, there's no perfect height for a TV, different movies, different aspect ratios, sitting/ standing,

Different games require different heights because they use different camera positions. Racing.FPS.RTS.RPG etc.

It's just an awesome stand. Pretty fast too considering it's lifting TP's 77pound 77inch TV. For $170, they're basically giving it away.

That supply chain is highly highly suspect,

Unless you're buying local, be cognizant.

Made some Chinese lap cheong rice w/ scallions. Becoming a big fan of lap cheong sausage, I really love the sweetness savoryness it gives to dishes.

Keyboards / Re: Any new TKL on the horizon? Any news/leaks?
« Last post by eliradelorca on Sun, 21 June 2026, 23:13:06 »
Yes, but frankly, "leaks of new TKL keyboards" in the current keyboard market are no longer the kind of explosive releases for individual models like they were a few years ago. The market is clearly shifting: new TKL keyboards are still being released, but they are usually "hidden" within line refreshes or custom/GB keyboard releases rather than major leaks.
