Quad layer (~150GB) discs can be a viable alternative for long term archival storage

It's definitely in 4K, they're usually on Blu-Ray triple layer discs which gets them ~100GB of storage

Back in the day, I saw a bolt on the logistical ordering system (which I have forgotten the name of) for something like 1k+, I later checked Lowes for shits and giggles to see if they even had it. They did, the exact same one for $60 (it was a big fucking bolt, for like big machinery or something)

But we weren't allowed to buy and use it because it's illegal to get it for official purposes anywhere else but the ordering system if it was available there

Paw Patrol is a CIA experiment

Paw patrol is really a massive CIA experiment designed to create genetically engineered Super-dog soldiers

This is the only possible explanation for how they can afford their HQ, the high tech equipment, the fuel to go all around the world, and not too mention the maintenance costs.

The 6 pups were not 'rescue' dogs, that's a lie that was told to them when their intelligence grew and enabled them to speak English and comprehend us and eventually became a core part of the cover story. Their memories have been altered so that they have no doubt to the cover story. In reality all 6 of them were genetically engineered and grown in a CIA lab in an experiment dubbed "soldier paw" to create "super-dog soldiers". The end goal is to have a dog soldier that is 100% loyal. One that can easily go into enemy territory and perform secret and dangerous operations.

"Adventure Bay" is actually a CIA blacksite created specifically to train, test, and observe the pups, "Ryder" is actually a CIA operative who's task is to be their handler and ensure that there is adequate progress. He knows of every situation well in advance as they are scheduled by the CIA project leader, Mayor Goodway, who began the project when she created an above average intelligent chicken that she now keeps as a pet.

Mayor Goodway and Cap'n Turbot are actually divorced in reality and this is why the Mayor frequently puts him in her planned scenarios hoping that the pups will fail one day and she can get sole custody of their kids, Julius and Justina (Gustavo is only their step father).

Everyone else in Adventure Bay are all either CIA operatives or paid actors with NDAs and top secret security clearances.

The Kitten Catastrophe Crew was project soldier paws predecessor, created by CIA scientist known as "Mayor Humdinger", dubbed project soldier pussy. This project, however, was terminated as they could not solve the problems with cats inherent dickness and inability to be 100% loyal. It was decided that instead of terminating the kittens and reassigning mayor Humdinger that they would serve as an archvillan type of enemy for the paw patrol. The kittens partially know the truth in that they know they are genetic experiments but not much else and is partially the reason why they are 'evil' and sometimes disregard orders from mayor humdinger.

Any "special" pups that appear, such as Everest or Tracker, only exist temporarily to test specific new genetic traits, the rest of the time they remain in stasis.

At the end of the scenerios the pups collars inject a temporary sleeping agent so that they can be transported to their dog houses which are actually stasis Chambers when not in their vehicle state. This allows the project team to fit an entire day/night cycle into an 8-6 day so that the pups believe a full day has passed when in reality only 10 hours has passed, and also allows the team to go home for the night and be with their families. Occasionally the stasis Chambers fail causing them to 'wake up' and the overnight shift typically only has a one hour warning before failure to call in the main team and any other actor or operative necessary to carry out one of the night contingency scenario while the stasis system is being repaired.

Because of the amount of time that they spend in the Chambers they don't actually age that much, however, at some point when the CIA determines that sufficient progress has been made they will allow the pups to grow to adulthood and transition from "silly" scenerios to more serious and deadly ones.

Ryder and the other CIA "children" operatives are the only ones who stay on site the entire time as they are actually orphans that the CIA drafted for this project. When the pups are in stasis they generally socialize with each other and do typical day to day stuff as they are off the clock (with the exception of Julius and Justina).

There were actually 8 pups engineered, 2 were prototypes and engineered too intelligent and learned the whole truth and orchestrated an escape, their plans were narrowly foiled and they were terminated and all memories of them were erased from the other 6. Rubble however, can occasionally access a memory fragment of them in his dream state, but his sleeping unconscious mind twists and corrupts the fragment, Apollo was the 7th pup that appeared in one of his dreams, but because of the corruption and twisting it appears to rubble that he was actually a flying superhero that was not part of the paw patrol.

Occasionally unplanned scenarios occur when someone or something breaches the adventure bay perimeter, one such event was when an oil tanker ruptured their cargo bay. This ship was off course and was never planned for, the project team responded immediately by removing the crew and replacing them with CIA operatives and actors prior to deploying the pups.

The CIA project team has already began transitioning Chase to training to be a bonafide operative as seen when he was given his 'spy gear' because he is currently the oldest and most mature pup, however he still does not know this is occuring.

As mentioned before rubble can access memory fragments from past deleted or altered memories when he sleeps, the team has yet to pin point why this is occuring.

Because skye has the ability to fly her equipment has a built-in kill switch to shutdown her equipment to prevent her from going too high or going off course. Zuma also has this boundary limitation as he can travel across water.

Robo-dog is a side-project in AI, little else is known.

Sweetie is the only genetically engineered animal to be fully briefed on the project and participates willingly often being a spy on the other pups when Ryder or another team member is not around. being a 'villain' is only a secondary objective.

This is a top secret CIA project and as such there are still holes and unanswered questions, how long will this project continue? how is this funded (i estimate that just providing their gear, maintenance, and HQ cost billions every year)? its presumed that only those with a direct involvement with the project within the CIA knows about it and beyond the CIA only the joint chief of staff, Department of Defense Secretary and president know.

There is suspicion that this is a joint project with the UK MI6 because of the British voices when aired in the UK but little other evidence of their involvement.

It's mimi by Nhim_Arts

theres a guy with a bug up his craw about .ml so he made it a point to crosspost all content

Yea how dare I take a stance against authoritarians

to .world

No need to lie, I don't post anything to .world, I distribute the crosspost to comms across many many different instances (except .world)

They're just mad because of my boycott/protesting crossposting of .ml content, beyond that, not sure because I tag all OC content with the username as appropriate nor do I crop out artist names LMAO

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Megathread on the issue

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

Ugh don't remind me lmao

You guys were popular because you made a game that could be played literally anywhere, and now you have a launcher that prevents that.

Well, anywhere you could run a full .jar file at least, I spent many years wishing and hoping for a mobile client so I could play anywhere. Iirc that didn't come till like 2018?

It's because we all grew up with Mac lmao

Don't link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!

Cross-posted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)

try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.

Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can't imagine it's gotten any better on 11l

I do miss being able to shove issues to the Landlord

But I don't miss not being able to do what I want LMAO if I want to knock a wall down to make a room bigger or build a wall to section off or maybe put in a wet bar or paint or even just, I know this might be radical, have more than 1 cat or dog lol

Pfft Ukraine is sooo 2025, US/Iran is what's in right now bb!

With the exception of pixel phones where unlocked phone does mean (ability to) unlocked bootloader. Google's policy for pixels is as long as it's carrier unlocked, the bootloader unlock option is available (you still need to trigger it in dev options)

With the exception of Verizon, because Verizon is a cunt about unlocking bootloader's. Fuck Verizon.

Well mine definitely failed because it was old as shit, even the home inspection said it probably needed replacing....years ago LMFAO

But I'll keep this in mind for me new one

I thought about DIY buttttt I didn't want to fuck with the gas shit lol

Lmao!

Well that counts as a site ban so this is for you!
