What’s a way to create a local repo mirror?

Same. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t just be like “wtf is this, fuck it, give me four”

It was about the goal, not the how.

Sorry but you NPCs aren’t supposed to know that information… It causes issues…

When I was still playing Nintendo games up to the switch, my games were physical.

On PC I have steam. But I still have various install discs from years gone by.

And I have various CDs, DVDs and blu-rays.

I don’t have any streaming subscription services. I canceled all of them a long time ago

I think you mean '99

Due the storm of ‘Bawitdaba’, ‘Only God Knows Why’, and ‘Cowboy’ being released that year and Napster.

That excuse won’t stop them from being fired. Just because you can does not mean you should.

My first homelab server is running unRAID. No real complaints from me. It’s been running for years no issues other than the crap hardware it runs on (i7-3770, 32GB RAM). I have some file shares, docker, and some VMs. The UI makes it really easy to do stuff, especially if you don’t want to have to research and manage everything.

I shot my first guns in kindergarten. My uncle’s handgun and my grandpa’s shotgun. Lived on the farm, it was just normal. But it was just in the farm, supervised of course. The moment my cousin and I were old enough we were in a firearms safety course so we could go hunting. Hell we used to help make ammo (just reloading shells).

Guns are really simple to use. Reloading for most guns people will ever encounter outside the military is simple. You got the safety switch and the trigger and it’s really point and click at that point. I tell you the hardest part is learning how to hold it correctly. We’ve all seen videos of people holding a gun wrong and shenanigans ensues when they lose control of it. https://imgur.com/gallery/shotgun-fail-odC6s

And from reports, that really hurt!

I am. It’s a reality of humanity. Most of us would like peace myself included. But to have peace, you have to be able to defend it. You can’t be passive. It’s kind of the idea of why you would have military, people ready and willing to fight to preserve the peace from those that end peace.

My great-grandfather wasn’t exactly sad when he helped take down the Nazis. And I’m not going to be particularly sad when taking down a neo-Nazi. Sorry, they like to be called maga now.

I came here to say the exact same thing. 9/11 changed the US forever in a bad way.

The door might not be, but what about the person? Pretty sure most adults are more than 7" thick from sternum to spine. If you’re back is only moving 7" forward you’re going to end up in the door.

In the Midwest where there is vast amounts of nothing when you would leave someone’s house its very common to be told ‘watch out for deer’. Those bastards will come out of nowhere.

3rd grade. Was pretty easy. Also helped I had nearly a mile walk to school (and back) with no distractions (didn’t think I had even a Walkman yet) so I was able to practice whatever. Math was easiest because it was right or wrong and it was easy to pick 2 random numbers.

Could be Flexo!

Don’t worry, they’ll be just as hypocritical as any other virtue-signaling group. Bees make honey, honey bad. But they’ll act like pollenators aren’t needed for crops or something. Or ignore that beekeepers will take their hives out to farms to pollinate various crops, like avocado. Or that bees seem to, on some level, understand that they have a great deal going. They’re not trapped in the hives; they could leave at anytime but don’t. And their honey production is higher than that of wild bees. And they have a higher survival rate because the beekeeper ensures they’re safe from predators, or from the elements, and from disease. Every beekeeper I’ve ever seen absolutely love their bees.

But the fun part, is not all vegans think like this. Because it’s a “contentious” topic among them. For one, why does anyone care what anyone eats? Like, as long as it’s not cannibalism, I don’t give a shit. But vegans, from what I gather, will “rank” themselves to other vegans to see who’s more vegan than the other. It really reminds me of the “church ladies”. The type who judge you for not being churchy enough, who brag about how much church they go to, how much they “do for the church”, a “higher than thou” mentality. Some vegans are closer to vegetarians, with just additional restrictions. So just like any group, it’s not all… it’s just a really loud minority that tries to speak for everyone.

Ah. So possible it was cranked up to 11 (no pun intended) after 9/11. That, or its frequency illusion, and I just never noticed really before a certain point.

I could be wrong here… but around the George W. Bush administration + 9/11 and the government painting everything they do as something to protect “against the terrorists!!!” that’s when a lot of things started happening.

That’s when the view of the military seemed to flip and it’s just been stuck that way. Movies like Top Gun were made as a PR stunt to make the military look better. The same is for basically every cop show out there: make cops look like the good guys. Anywho, every company went out of their way to really show “how much they support the troops” by giving a discount. And every smooth-brain started saying “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE” every single time. The hero worship was/is real, and it shouldn’t be, and it’s a real problem. (Totally different conversation, but it’s led to an influx of people joining the military, or trying to, who really shouldn’t). Before Bush + 9/11, I don’t recall military discounts outside of, like, businesses that were owned/operated by vets.

I know it says to pick the most awful, but settle down there Satan. We’ve suffered enough.
