The satanist kiddie-diddler ritual hysteria ran through the entire decade, but barely anybody remembers it now. The same with spiritism, it was everywhere in the "gaslight fantasy" period, yet it's almost never present in works dealing with the period.

It was psychoanalyzed into a "moral panic" by progressive cunts, but imho it was a backlash against the sexual liberation movent of the 70s that upheld the sexualization of children as "innocent self-actualization" only made bad by "fearful close-minded repressive bigots".

I have always imagined the aesthetics of Void Engineers from WoD in the spirit of CF, with chaotic additions of more modern and futuristic equipment, and traces of numerous upgrades and repairs. Regardless of the operation principles, most of their ships were built many years ago.
About the same for the Sons of Ether, but often with elements of a dieselpunk, more strange and a more artisanal appearance.

Or, to be much less charitably, Grant Morrison steals metaconcepts from Mark Waid and Warren Ellis and pretends they're his own creation to an audience of fanboys who have never heard of Borges.

Not difficult at all, though you'll probably need to do a little modification to get everything to fit. It's pretty common to use old cases for new builds for aesthetic purposes, though the older the case the more modification you're going to need due to differing standards. If you're talking about trying to get maximum performance out of old machines by the addition of modern parts then you're going to be hard limited by the capabilities of their processors and chips.

>>68415291
I will never argue that David Karesh was a good guy. The ATF took the opportunity to turn a quiet arrest into a full scale war that cost a lot of lives. They knew that tear gas is flammable and they knew that they used open flame for cooking and they threw flashbangs into the same rooms where they were putting CS gas. It was against their own SOP for the reason it starts fires and endangered lives.
Lon Horiuchi put a 170 grain .30 bullet through a baby at 80 yards. He damn well knew what he was shooting. The judge that went through the case said that the ATF didn't have probable cause for an arrest.

It's really hard to see it any other way when you know about how snipers work, the layout of the shoot, and the fact that it was dead quiet when it happened. The only other explanation is that he broke every safety rule he was ever taught, violated FBI sniper protocol, and accidentally fired. Suggesting that to the snipers I know makes them spit coffee or glare at me. As one man told me "the number of fuck-up necessary for him to have accidentally fired makes him negligent at the level of needing the death penalty."

The wife was standing on the front porch holding the baby. At 80yds with a 10x scope, Lon knew exactly what the bullet was going into.

>>68417744
>>68417780
Oh, and to follow up. A federal judge and a jury agreed as well when they awarded him a fortune. The Judge's opinion was absolutely scathing.

>>68417780
>>68417801
>>68416712
The truth is the whole thing was just to kill that baby, for you see, it was the anti-christ and born to bring about the end of times. But now its dead and the world is saved.

>>68417780
So, you're saying that it's far more likely that, instead of Lon having a solid shot of something in his line of fire he unwisely took it just she unexpectedly moved into the path, an FBI agent decided that this was the best moment to scratch that baby-killing itch he'd been harboring because he figured there's no way anyone would notice? Or what?

>>68417848
Lon the Savior

>>68417801
Well yeah, you don't fuck up and kill a baby and not get shafted.

I'm just saying that "Oooh! Imma gonna keel dat baby!" seems like an unlikely internal dialogue for an FBI sniper. And *if* he had really, really wanted to shoot a baby, he could have done it at a time and place with less scrutiny.

>>68417884
>Lon having a solid shot of something in his line of fire
There wasn't anything else that would have been the target
>she unexpectedly moved into the path
By all accounts, she was standing still.

>>68417941
No one knows what happened to Lon after the incident. He fell off the radar. There is some discussion that a rumor was leaked that he was working in the Oklahoma field office that was in the Oklahoma Federal Building that was bombed. Who knows.
I do know that Randy Weaver had friends in the SF community that would have happily killed Lon if he ever surfaced. It never hit the news so it's unlikely that happened.

>>68418260
>There wasn't anything else that would have been the target
>There wasn't anything else that could have been mistaken for a target
>she and the baby were known at the time by all agents present to be 100% alone and unaccompanied

>bullets only ever hit their intended targets
Gonna need some citations there.

>>68418329
Really married to the "Imma gonna kill a baby!" idea, aren't you?
I mean, yeah, he shot a baby when he didn't need to fire a shot at all. He's hated. Fuck him.
To insist that his intention was infanticide, is just implausible.

Why shoot that baby right then? If it was a crazy firefight, he could lie and claim it was a mistake. But to just pick off a baby on a porch, because he wanted to kill a baby, in the middle of all that? Why?
Does he not like Mondays?

>>68418556
You really want my theory? They were going to bury all of them. It was a total kill mission and Lon was in on it. How he fucked up is he shot his target too soon. Too much that's absolutely provable is way fucked up.
Randy Weaver was showing up to court as directed. The ATF kept moving the dates and they didn't inform him of many of the dates they changed. His lawyer had to keep making calls every day. One of the dates they had moved he missed and within 2 hours of him being late, a tactical team showed up and started shooting at his kid and brother in law.

>Why shoot that baby right then? If it was a crazy firefight, he could lie and claim it was a mistake. But to just pick off a baby on a porch, because he wanted to kill a baby, in the middle of all that? Why?
>Does he not like Mondays?
He killed the wife too with the same shot. You're asking the right question. Why? There has never been a satisfactory answer. Follow that up with a few more. Why wasn't Lon Horiuchi charged with anything? Why were all the records for the incident destroyed? Why did they go in guns blazing when Randy Weaver never showed any sign of violence or non compliance? Why open fire on everyone they saw as soon as they saw them without even announcing they were law enforcement?
>she couldn't have been the target
I didn't say that. I make a big deal out of the baby because the bullet went right through the center of the baby but it killed her too. Why shoot an unarmed woman?

>>68418866
Gotta kill that baby...
Can't leave any witnesses...
Dead babies are the linchpin of any good plan...

No dude.
Not denying shady shit may have been afoot, but just no.

>>68418923
The fact is a pregnant woman and the baby she was holding just standing on her porch were killed by a sniper at 80 yard in what was described by all account a moment of calm. There was no indication she was aware of being observed. There was no indication that she knew there were federal officers on the property. She was waiting for her husband to bring back her son and her brother that were out on the property somewhere after they hear some shots fired. It wasn't until after this That Randy was aware that there was federal officers on the property because he hadn't found his son before his wife and baby were killed.
I get it, this all seems like a bad B movie from the 80s. The more I have looked into this the less it makes sense to me.

>>68418983
This post >>68415502 made it seem like you were talking about Waco.
I hope, for the love of Moot, that you can acknowledge that deciding to shoot a baby at Waco, which is what I initially thought you were talking about, would be even more insane than at Ruby Ridge.

As best that I can recall, Ruby Ridge was a clusterfuck that, once started, the FBI could only come out shining if the witnesses died and they controlled the narrative. But even *that* wouldn't require dead babies.

>The more I have looked into this the less it makes sense to me.
"If you find that you are confused, it means that you believe something that is not true."
No, seriously. That's literally always the case.

Also, there are accounts that differ from yours:
"After his first shot hit and wounded Randy Weaver, Horiuchi fired a second shot at Kevin Harris, who was armed, some 20 seconds later as Harris was running into the Weaver home. The bullet fired at Harris struck and killed Vicki Weaver through the doorway just beyond Harris, who was entering the home. Weaver was holding her 10-month-old child behind the door through which Harris was attempting to enter; the round also struck and wounded Harris."
This is the kind of stupidity that I can believe.

It's not like the FBI and Justice Department were found to have committed gross misconduct during the siege and to have fabricated evidence then followed that with an attempted cover up by destroy evidence against them.

Depends on what you want to fit inside. A Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 will always fit, and is fast enough for light office work.

Form factors for motherboards, power, graphics and other cards, and their orientation in the enclosure have changed several times.

A modern medium or top range CPU and graphics card will need BETTER cooling and ventilation than a PC of yore, where the only fan may have been in the power module.

>and i didnt get anything of this
We got some of it. It just because even smaller and smoother, and the world was still rough. Look at late 90s MP3 players and aesthetics, it's an outgrowth of the 70s/80s.

The only big change is they didn't realize computers would so quickly become so small and ubiquitous. Honestly the only thing that fucked us is Apple went for the swooping, seamless white case aesthetic.

I can't actually remember. I'm usually better at remembering wisdom than sources of wisdom.
I used quotes because I didn't want to seem like I was talking from my ass or specifically about anon.

Whoever said it was intelligent and I respected their view. I remember reading them saying that whenever they encounter a situation where they become confused, they say to themselves "I find that I am confused." as a sort of mental prompt to consider what beliefs that they have about the situation are true or not, because something they believe to be true, isn't.
I find that going through such beliefs can help me discover the source of the confusion.
If you believe:
>You set your keys on a hook
>You did not remove them from the hook
>Nobody else has been near the hook
>The keys are not now on the hook
>The keys cannot move from the hook without being moved by someone
Then something you believe is true is not true.

Except in this case we aren't dealing with some form of absolute binary, we're dealing with a Justice Department that violated constitutional rights, fabricated evidence, operated a ROE counter to standard law enforcement practice, and intentionally tried to cover up their actions or fabricate justifications for it. Anon is confused because the Justice Department was actively attempting to mislead people.

>>68437142
Cassettepunk isn't a thing.

>>68437142
Cyberpunk is a genre.
Cassette Futurism is an aesthetic.

The use of the "-punk" suffix either has genre defining connotation or it's as meaningless as "-thing".
An aesthetic isn't "-punk".
Savvy?

>>68435725
The funny thing is, their shuttle, the Buran, was better. It had additional jet engines for powered landings instead of relying on glide and was automated enough that it could fly itself. The US space shuttle was bogged down in retarded requirements thought up by committee.

>>68435725
They shelved the Buran program because the Soviet Union collapsed. There are 3 other partially complete orbiters, the Ptichka is apparently 95% complete, still in existence.

>>68439065
It also helps that the Buran program had the benefit of going second and access to all of the unclassified Space Shuttle data.

Pokey.

Slightly off topic, but I think it's sensible enough (and wouldn't burn a thread) but is there a good collection of 80s tech available? I'm about to run a one shot set in the 80s and besides the generic crap (walkmans, old computers, vhs, 8track, etc) I have a very limited knowledge. Especially weaponry. Apologies in advance.

>>68446490

>>68446591
It's not infrequent that thread goes up all the time. It's normally called retro instead of vintage is what's confusing you probably.

>>68446490
If you're looking for weaponry ask /k/. There is the occasional cyberpunk weapon thread, but you should be able to get a very good thread just asking for real world weaponry from the 70s-90s.

Retarded boomers.
The Soviet spaceplane program existed before the STS was announced. Look up the BOR planes.

And the reason theirs ended up better is because the project was not pingponged between departments for a decade.
