Monkey With A Shell

You got F’d when you 69’d in school? Sounds wild.

A cafe selling ‘cum drops’ in Bangkok, they knew what they where doing.

DVD? walks my pet dinosaur out of the room

Really though, Labyrinth is the one that comes to mind.

Reality doesn’t actually consist of an unending torrent of bullshit drowning people in misery, that’s just what sells in the media and outrage algorithms.

Sometimes people like to see a win in their life rather than be told it’s all going to hell.

That’s pretty well what I started with 20 years or so ago, had them in some little box with some funny Nvidia CPU. That go upped to a pair of 3 TB that have somewhere around 10 years uptime on them if I recall by now, and kind of spiraled from there. Rsync on a schedule is nice for that.

Just part of a lab built over the years. Primary storage is a Dell R730XD filled mostly with 12 TB drives all set up in a ZFS array comprised of mirror vdevs, so redundant by default plus the built in ZFS snapshots for the rare need for a rollback on a dataset.

It only recently got that big because I had a mixed set of drives going back years and finally decided to work on getting them all to the same size and picked 12 as a good cost/volume balance, can find them at used server parts shops for a bit over $100 each.

Major risk is I don’t have a good auto alert for smart monitor issues, so just make sure to occasionally manually copy the vital stuff like photos to an external drive.

How do you stream it if nobody downloads it to seed things? The whole premise of seed ratios isn’t just a bragging score, it’s aiding the communal health.

Besides, I have around 60 TB of space here, that’ll hold several versions of damn near every Linux distro out there for a while, it’d be a shame to waste it.

Despite being comprised of similar letters Lemmy and LLM are not interchangeable…

Neighbor here has one of those for her kids with an adapter to plug in batteries from Ryobi tools. Nice idea if you have a stack of batteries around already that can be swapped on the fly.

The fuck they do. I had to go hunt down some tool grooming and using my kid at that age. A lack of confidence and want of external validation are powerful drivers to do stupid things that can have massive life changing impacts.

Similar to the case where he was convicted of multiple felonies and given (checks notes) not even a slap on the wrist?

Trump appeals claiming it’s fake info and costs too much electricity to host in 3, 2, 1…

More a speculative thought, but if those who do pay attention to negative feedback no longer see any, they may not take that into consideration when they put things up.

Say someone put up a post, saw no backlash on the front end, but then comes to look at the responses and sees a cesspit of hate. That’s hardly going to soften any mental harms it might otherwise impose.

Another thought here is messing about with such things, particularly in making them a default behavior, could disrupt comms where there is a strong voting aspect to it. The ‘am I the asshole’ type place that, despite the usual attempt to have them adjudicated by some nuanced comment system, inevitably end up using votes as a agree/disagree dynamic.

I’m not sure there’s a purpose to it the way things are clustered here. Particular for anything of a political/news nature the very same post on one instance and com may get a completely different reaction on another. There are a fair number of people that I think of as ‘fire and forget posters’ in that they simply fire off posts but rarely interact with them after. Making this the default would likely encourage more of the same behavior, possibly leading to more spam.

There’s one in particular who for some undefined reason has been able to essentially say ‘go off and do this thing’ that my own brain said is stupid and impossible, and then I succeeded at doing the thing.

Probably the first example, when I had finally gotten the idea to do some gym work (which she helped at that too) I commented to the effect of maybe I could look at doing a 5k. So she says let’s go do 14k which of course sounded nuts, so we went and did that. Next thing I know I finished a marathon because why not…

Pleasant as this is, I wonder how they’re going to keep the crybaby-in-chief from demanding they stop again as part of his ‘dei is evil’ crusade.

Phobes being phobic, unusual enough not one that had a big history of egregious comments so this was a bit of a drop the mask moment.

Similar to the markings used on trucks hauling hazardous materials. Might be for the fire dept if the place goes up in flames.

Who was it that said the rule was ‘half your age + 7’, think it was from a movie or something?

It’s not too far of a gap to be an issue in general, but some places it might get legally twitchy. Here they have what they refer to as a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ law that if I recall has a sliding window of a couple years around 18 that allows for people on either side to date within some number of years.

Ethically I wouldn’t think much on it. You could well have been a single grade apart in school depending on when each birthday falls in the year, that’s hardly worth noting.

Ummm Ermmm Ohmmm
