Two things.

1. You seem stressed about something and you should take a breather.

2. You should look in the mirror while you read your own comment you just typed.

Yeah, do it in secret, with a revolution where they can’t see you planning!

I don’t know how I’m going to throw AI in the the harbor, but by god I’ll find a way!

Oh how kind of them! They force disconnect an appliance but give you a coupon to buy the latest model.

And the newest model is different how? It’s a thermostat after all.

Whole reason I got one was because of the promised savings (never saw any, from the learning, just bullshit offers that allowed the electric company access…).

Guess it’s back to the tried and true mercury thermostat.

I mean, even like 2018 it wasn’t uncommon to stand in line at my local Chipotle for 15-20 minutes. No DoorDash orders, no online orders. Just really slow workers, but also understaffed, and somehow always waiting for something (rice, veggies, anything from the grill). I mean I can talk that up to poor management.

I remember when the McChicken was a buck.

Did Lemmy just compare using a computer to domestic abuse… really…

That’s some out of touch bullshit. These are not comparable on any level. I get this is a meme section for Linux, but it’s some out of touch bullshit.

I have had 1 week off the whole year. I have some PTO coming up. I feel guilty using it (even though I shouldn’t).

Some comics are going to translate better if you can go R. Like if you want to portray something truly cruel, dark, painful, tragic, I feel like you’re not really going to get that on anything less than an R. Like DC’s Identity Crisi. Or you could just look at movies that did come out like Logan, or Deadpool. If there’s a Peacemaker film you probably would want that rated R.

You forgot to mention, that was was fired from PayPal(?) for being incompetent.

And the engineers he hires are either not that great, or (more likely) are having to play fast and loose due to unrealistic expectations. Like the original hyperloop demo that was setup years ago for a competition, instantly rusted and was secured poorly. It’s since been destroyed.

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

When I was a kid, I knew a kid who was (presumed) special needs but also EXTREMELY VIOLENT. I remember being in the 3rd grade and seeing him literally being carried away into a side room at school (probably to get him away from someone). And I mean like some teachers had his arms, and others had his legs, literally suspending him in the air because he wasn’t going willingly to any degree.

He was known for biting and clawing. One time, he flat-out just choked me. He was a known entity in the school.

I have no idea where he ended up. I think his mom ended up putting him in a group home or something because she basically couldn’t overpower him anymore, and he made it known he was pissed at her.

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

Who you are now, isn’t likely who you’ll be in 6 years. You’ll change a lot over the next few years as you become an adult. Legally, becoming an adult is the difference of a day. But actually maturing into an adult takes time and effort. Yes effort, you’ll meet plenty of adults who cling to their highschool self.

I don’t know if alcohol is still placed on a pedestal like it was in my teens, but alcohol isn’t that great. It’s an expensive poison humans can sorta metabolize. It can taste good, but moderation is key. The point isn’t to get drunk. As an adult who can drink anytime I please, is generally would rather just have water.

Now is a great time to get into a fitness routine.

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.

I mean, I’m for it. Just waiting for the green light when it’s ok to punch a Nazi and be considered a patriot and not a criminal…

Be clear, I believe in peace first. But when peace and negotiation is no longer an option, your hand is forced until peace and negotiation is an option.

Think of it like this. Bully attacks you, you ask them to stop and they don’t. One day you decide to put the bully in an wrist lock! Bully is now screaming in pain. Bully now agrees to stop attacking you. Peace has been restored.

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.
