Boomers were named after the Baby Boom, not the economic boom.

There was also an economic boom, but that’s absolutely not where the name comes from.

Only if there’s laws in place to keep the ultra rich from buying up multiple properties, otherwise it’s just an opportunity for people to keep hording homes to rent out.

McDonald’s STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People “back then” didn’t just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.

Yes, there’s a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it’s not cause we have electronics, it’s cause people don’t have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.

I develop infrastructure automation for one of the world’s largest private computer clusters.

I do it almost exclusively in Vim with command line git.

I’m the most productive member of my team.

Literally nothing you said was correct.

Racist people be like…

New guy at work ran this to try to fix permissions on his home folder, accidentally ran it on root (both would have been bad)

Several highly paid and experienced Linux admins finally just gave up and deleted the server and built a new one from the backups.

Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.

That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

I will accept no questions on this.

Shit, that’s some movie level rescue.

Backed his truck up the building so the guy could jump out of a three story window without having to jump to the pavement.

Perfect bystander rescue. Did exactly what was needed to save a life, but not endanger himself or make the situation worse for anyone.

Love to see the quick thinking.

That’s a lot of questions, but I’ll try.

What do you do at a gym? Use dedicated equipment to lift weights and build strength, work with a coach to help set workouts, and workout with other people who have the same goals.

A gym membership can be a way to meet other people and build community. If you see the same 5 people regularly due to similar gym schedules, you might build some friendships.

Primarily a gym can become a place where you are expected to exercise, so you’re more likely to do it. If you have a treadmill and some dumbbells in your bedroom, your brain might not give you the motivation needed to use the equipment. You might hop on for 5 minutes, but then get distracted and stop using it. But if you traveled 20 minutes to a dedicated exercise location, then you’re much less likely to stop and leave right away.

So what do you do? Well, depends on what your goals are. Did you want to get healthier? Some cardio where you get your heart rate up improves your cardiovascular health. Lifting weights, can help build muscle and bone health, which would make it much less likely to be injured, and much more likely to recover from an injury quicker.

If you can motivate yourself to workout at home, and if you can find a good routine that meets your goals, you can certainly do that all at home, even without much equipment at all. The problem is, are you actually doing what you need to do, or are you just moving around and wasting time with little actual effect? A coach that knows what their doing would be able to help you actually use your time.

A Ghost Story is a wonderful movie

I’m not a cop

I use qbittorrent, and even popular or legitimate torrents get zero uploads.

Can you explain how this works? My seeding is garbage and I’m not sure how to set it up to work better.

Seeding is crippled due to no port forwarding. You can download, you just can’t really share back.
