He's off his meds
  • Prohibitionists always keep a private supplier handy. This is particularly true when talking about rabid moralists... But I repeat myself.

  • Mark Zuckerberg Visits Mar-a-Lago After Trump Threatened Him With Imprisonment
  • Your brothers and sisters are your siblings, but sibling is not a very affectionate word so I think most folks would say "brothers and sisters", "compatriots" or "friends".

    The fight ahead is going to be a slog, but hopefully we can find solidarity, build a bigger tent, and unite under a banner of kinship and kindness.

    For surely if we do not hang together we will hang separately.

  • Reality check on technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the air
  • If you had a magic machine that was able to take carbon out of the air and crystallize it into 1 m cubes of graphite using the ambient thermal gradient to power the process at 100% efficiency by sapping the heat from the atmosphere, you would run out of heat before you processed enough carbon to dent the current production of CO2.

    Carbon capture can't do it. Blue crude and stuff like that is a viable option for the future of gasoline powered stuff, but we simply must stop pulling carbon out of the ground completely.

    Reminder for Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11
  • I do some e-wasting for a number of big companies and have piles of old laptops. I've taken to giving the laptops to people that need computers and the ones with Linux don't taken. I literally can't give away Linux computers. They can buy their own windows licenses.

  • STD epidemic slows as new syphilis and gonorrhea cases fall in US
  • You can expect this to get much worse next year. Planned Parenthood is one of the most important institutions in the fight against venereal diseases in this country and the Republicans hate it with a passion that burns like herpes.

    When Mike Pence took over Indiana he managed to shoot it to the top of the chart in syphilis case diagnosis within a given ZIP code.

  • Voice Actor David Wald Leaves Role as Gajeel in Fairy Tail, Will Not Return to Crunchyroll Following Claims Company Opened His Mail, Gave Away Contents
  • I really hope they do. An example needs to be made of crunchy roll too, but the individual human person who made this decision and anyone who participated by opening the mail themselves needs to be hauled into court prosecuted, and then spend some time in prison.

  • what is the most "above your station" thing you have ever experienced?
  • One time I went to the restaurant DAMON BAEHREL. I was informed afterwards that it had a 10-year waiting list and only seated 100 people a month. Despite having regularly commuted between the Midwest and the East Coast, getting there felt like the longest road trip I've ever taken since I had to go with my mother-in-law and some of it is on a gravel road.

    I had to Google DAMON BAEHREL to spell it and I'm not going to bother retyping it.

    It was far and away the most pretentious, absurd, cartoonishly fancy experience I've ever had, and I've dressed up in antique ceremonial Moroccan robes for a banquet at the art museum in the city I grew up in. At the art museum I sat next to the mayor's mother in a room of 200 people conversely, about 30 people total could fit into DAMON BAEHREL.

    I thought the art museum banquet was fancy, but when I was little I thought Boston Market and IBC root beer were fancy.

    DAMON BAEHREL was the kind of place that serves a dozen 'courses' but each one is like one cracker one sliver of cheese and one spritz of condiment with maybe a sliver of sausage made from some bespoke farm animal. He insisted that the water we were drinking was actually unreduced tree sap. Everything was served on various slabs of wood some with the bark still on it. The slabs were so much larger than the food It looked like putting a coin on a serving platter for each course.

    I just felt embarrassed every time I looked at the Damon and his staff. They had clearly heard his bullshit so many times that it was hard for them to feign credulity anymore.

    Anyway, that shit was way too fancy for me. Clearly it was just wasted on me.

  • How did this happen?
  • It shouldn't have to be repeated so often that maybe Republican voters aren't who the Democratic party needs to be gearing itself to attract.

  • They're trying their best
  • When I saw my first textbook that had an XKCD comic in it I had A little bit of a squeal of joy. I'm old What do I know.

  • This time I'll focus harder on it
  • "Holmgard and beyond! That's where the winds will us guide!!"

  • It's a virus
  • There is a great mod for that!

    It brings the wiki directly into the game so you can look up anything directly with the mouse and F1.

  • Non preppers / Doomers. What's one small thing you're prepped for?
  • Havin a baeg of baegs is just one of those things you do in the Midwest. Donchya know

  • Harder Drives: Hard drives we didn't want or need
  • He also has a completely unhinged video about a unibikal I'm sure I misspelled that but I know that's what he made because he's completely unhinged.

  • Harder Drives: Hard drives we didn't want or need
  • I love this video so much but his entire channel is amazing.

    The running of a super Nintendo game on Nintendo is batshit insane. This guy understands computer science and engineering in a way that makes it just seem like magic to me, and I'm a computer scientist who works as an engineer.

  • What technology purchase felt like a major upgrade in your life?
  • An immersion blender, it was $30 but it made my soups seem gourmet and let me recycle my gallons of lard into the best soap I have ever used.

    Aside from that, I replaced two of my mismatched odd shaped PC monitors with 27" 4k monitors and the difference is amazing. The monitors were so cheap too only $110 each. Together with my super fancy main screens it really cleaned up the desktop.

  • Alarm as Pentagon Confirms Deployment of US Troops to Israel
  • There was a pretty great episode of Stargate that explained why offering a defensive technology like that is still offensive support.

    In that circumstance we (earth) were literally just powering a shield and the good guys decided to stop supplying the fuel to power that shield because it turns out it was being used to defend the aggressive Nazi-like-analogs that were actually the instigators of the conflict.

  • Israeli forces proximity to Irish troops in Lebanon 'concerning'
  • Yea, Israel needs to back the fuck up and honor the ceasefire. Israel should also probably stop deploying terrorism as a tool of their war machine. Perhaps if they'd stop murdering civilians there would be something Israel has to say that's worth listening to but until then they're just fucking Nazis invading a neighboring country after having murdered a lot of its civilians under questionable circumstances with no review process.

    UNIFIL are where they are supposed to be, Israel needs to respect the fucking deal that they signed and stop pretending like the soldiers protecting those villages are interfering with Israel in some way.

    Israel is the bad guy here, there is no excuse for what they are doing or how they are doing it. They make the region and the world less safe and less stable. They do not honor their agreements. They do not respect human rights. They target families, men women children hospitals schools nothing is sacred.

    Israel is a monster run by monsters for the benefit of monsters with the consent of monsters.

    a comfy place to bask

    I couldn't let Donnie stay in the wild because sliders aren't supposed to be here, but he looks really comfortable underneath his jungle of raspberries, basil, and potatoes while he basks on a bed of moss.

    I found a bunch of these crawling around inside my garage. What is this Bug?

    They seem to spin some kind of silk everywhere they go. They seem to be no longer than about 4 mm. I noticed them crawling up things and then dropping down on a line of silk. I've started catching them by putting little sticks up in the air attached everywhere that I find them. They tend to gather at the top of the stick for easy rapture by vacuum.

    I took apart a giant projection TV and there were a bunch of these lining the screen mount.

    I feel like they probably have something to do with light level detection or infrared signal receiving but I genuinely have no idea. They could just as likely be part of the sound system for all I know.

    I added some more unifi APs, a Raspberry Pi4 for a low power unifi controller, and I replaced the MOCA bridges with multiple Cat6 runs letting me power most of the wifi from the generator in the basement across the house.

    I should probably do a full write up of what it all is and why, and I plan to get optimum and Verizon working together so I can leverage both internet connections in the whole house.
