🥵😮‍💨 I love a woman who can talk nerdy to me.

Then again I’m incapable of sending a dick pick and wouldn’t if I could because I respect that brain mmmmmm brain.

So often the real thing is other men don’t know how objectifying and creepy their womanizing friends are, because they aren’t the target. They don’t see the behavior, often because they don’t want to, so its easy to ignore.

Not really an option to not have a phone line of some sort and insurance, you know?

At least it’s pre-paid and I can bounce whenever I want. Don’t even have to cancel, just port my number.

I’ve switched everything I can away from subscriptions, even swapping to pre-paid phone plan. If I could do the same with my Internet or insurance, I absolutely would.

I like not having small-ish amounts of money come out every month. It’s easier to plan for a big chunk once a year. It’s also much easier to see tiny customer-fucking price increases because they represent a greater difference in annual payment over monthly.

Still wouldn’t put it past him unfortunately

My dad too, same thing. Only out of bed for a few hours a day, not because he can’t, because he won’t. Except I think he’s still in his 70s… Borderline to hit 80s tho

It’s from the show archer and makes perfect sense in context. He’s an alcoholic, with a hangover, drinking a Bloody Mary as a hair of the dog thing (drink the next day to make the hangover less intense). The video is linked elsewhere in this post.

This is the article it likely came from, which gives sparse detail (archive link, I couldn’t access the original)

I have absolutely no idea how to find reference to this at this point because every search I do results in absolute bullshit that’s not related (like apparently the most liquid currency is the diarrhea coin… a problem that didn’t exist a few years ago…), but I recall reading about a practice from like the medieval era or something where special coins were made that contained heavy metals, and when consumed, would induce diarrhea. They would be retrieved, washed, and reused, and even passed down in families.

Today we know how bad of an idea something like that is, but then, like with radiation, it was all ghosts in the blood causing problems. Shitting blood was normalized.

So what was it?

I have a non-chain fast food place near me, doesn’t even have indoor seating, just a small waiting space (holds maybe 10 people if you pack them in such that the personal space bubble is tiny) and some picnic tables, but no drive-through.

They’ve managed to keep prices pretty low; Big Mac or whopper equivalent is $4, for example and I think fries are some 2.50 for the large. While that does add up since everything is ordered individually, the quality is superior and it’s local-family-owned, so well worth it. And it’s very very popular even without the drive-through convenience. The local McDonald’s hardly gets any traffic by comparison.

Just goes to show it can totally be done, if not for outright greed.

Just throw another blade on the handle and she’s got great form, totally unexpected weapon usage. Element of surprise or smth.

Not wanting to add complexity or anything but have you considered trying a deep water culture (DWC) hydroponic system? That’s all a fancy way to say a dark colored large 5-ish gallon bucket of water with specific hydroponic nutrients dissolved in the water (I use a generic balanced powder and it works nicely) and an air pump to keep the water from going stagnant. As long as you keep the air pump dry, you can do the whole thing outside without issue. I hang mine under a plastic camera guard and it works nicely.

I’m terrible at growing things in dirt because dirt remembers what you did to it (holds salts and nutrient excess unless you flush the soil), but hydroponics is a totally different thing. You can just toss the water and give it new when it starts showing signs of nutrient deficiency/toxicity. The roots end up massive and healthy and everything grows faster since there’s zero resistance in the growth medium. Just sucking up everything they can. Tho since the typical advice is to just completely toss the water at least weekly once it’s grown up (great for outside gardens or houseplants after the tomato buckets), you usually don’t end up with imbalances like that at all.

Proper care of a hydro system makes for a bountiful harvest most years, and if you want, you can very easily keep a tomato clone over winter to keep some smaller amount of production going. Hydro works very well inside because you don’t bring most of the bugs you would with a dirt pot.

Throw like 4 standard screw-in daylight bulbs of 60+watt-equivalent leds and you’ve got a grow space. No fancy expensive nonsense required.

Probably for a similar reason the IRS runs off COBOL.

Allergic to improvements if they require significant overhaul.

This the same FAA that doesn’t have enough air traffic controllers to properly manage current aircraft for all airports and keep them from crashing? Or enough inspectors or whatever to ensure large planes used by hundreds of thousands of people per year are properly maintained and safe?

Spectacular idea to add another several thousand little high-tech high-fail flight pods to the mix!

I wouldn’t, I keep all of my data separate from my OS drive entirely so I can reformat or install a new OS whenever I feel like… nasty old habit from bootleg windows 7 well beyond its age, when reformatting every 6 months was good hygiene, before I found Linux… but gave me great data management insight.

Sure, if my active drives died after this swap, and I had to restore from the old, now backup, drive, I’d be back at the operational state I was at the time of the backup.

That tracks.

It still doesn’t run anything tho. It’s just a drive. It doesn’t house an os or anything, just files that aren’t restricted in any way.

Sure, nearly everything is on a separate drive from the OS. I don’t put much on the OS drive on any of my computers unless it needs to run there and that’s easy to reinstall. Easy to fix things that way.

What if my backup is just files and there’s nothing to restore?

Like say I take my existing drives, full of totally working media, and duplicate them, use the originals as a backup and the new drives as the active.

Does that count as a backup? No restoration involved.

That’s definitely going on my list :) thanks!
