  • Miller Labels Leftists a “Cancer” That World Must “Root Out” in Fascistic Speech

    Jump

  • That's basically the average the country is left with between the decent people and the tens of millions who voted for idiotic racist rapist fascism three times in a row.

    It's like a third don't care, a third do care, and a third are enthusiastically in favor.

  • 'Rust makes coding fun again': Why Linux is moving away from C, according to Greg Kroah-Hartman

  • Someone set up us the Rust?

  • And because of that, unfortnately, a lot of regular people also think the entire point of technology and wealth is to never have to do anything substantive.

  • Where my iT’s A fEaTuRe homeys at?

  • Iirc it was indeed designed to be terrible back in the day to protect bits on machines by camming out.

  • We can't keep tying healthcare to employment

  • Hospital Corp. of America

    That is the most on-the-nose American-ass name I've ever seen for one of our companies, not just a healthcare one.

    It's right up there with the places of worship named "church of god."

  • I have impact-driven thousands of screws into wood in my back yard in the past 18 months. Over 1,000 of them were 6" (15cm) big guys, along with tons of 2.5" (~6cm) and 3.5" (9cm).

    Every last one was Torx / hexalobular / 6-point. When I bought hardware that came with free phillips head screws, I threw that shit away and used my own.

    The "feature" that philips head brings to the table makes it worse for just about every use case other than "I own exactly one screwdriver and never want to get another one."

    Torx doesn't HAVE to be the alternative. There are many good screw designs out there. It's just that where I live, that's the non-philips choice that dominates the market. Every store has a variety of choices for torx-driven construction screws.

  • Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol

    Jump

  • This is what came to mind for me too.

    It is so much fun to play co-op with my kid. Then I can act old and describe all the gaming industry references that only I get.

    I've also been to Sweden two whole times, so I get to act all sophisticated and worldly while describing the real world Goatenburg.

    Now where did OP go? I gotta tell them about how much The Gray Fox loves their work!

  • I have watched the simulated running of various dinosaur species in documentaries such as Jurassic Park.

    I have also watched my chickens excitedly run around my back yard.

    There is nothing you can say that will convince me birds are not literally dinosaurs.

  • Yeah. It would be sweet to live in a world that doesn't keep proving the cynics and doomsayers correct.

  • Do you think medication would help you?

    Jump

  • AuDHD here. Before my 40s I was never a coffee drinker and I couldn't get medicated when I tried.

    Now, on days when I am good about taking both my doses of Adderall and making myself both cups of coffee (morning & lunch time for both) I feel amazingly normal and can just choose to be productive at work and crazy shit like that.

    THC is amazing in its own way. It CAN help me happily do certain things I normally don't want to do, but over time it seems like a net loss for executive function, energy levels, and generally taking care of the shit I care about. So right now I'm on a break, but have not necessarily sworn it off.

  • national anthem

    Jump

  • That's kind of an accurate way to describe a lot of society these days though, from doomscrolling to phone addiction to social media disinformation to surveillance and tracking and advertising.

  • I must con(FeS₂), this sparked a laugh

    Jump

  • Well, no. If you look closely enough, no lines exist.

  • Microsoft Teams status

    Jump

  • One of the beautiful things about being able to run Linux at work and use Teams in a browser is that my status is decoupled from what I'm doing on my machine. Obviously if I'm in a meeting or chatting with somebody through Teams my status will reflect that.

    I bet my most productive days have me away/idle for hours on end, lol.

  • "Gen Z won't understand this but back in my day, if you ever saw as many ads as you do on social media today, it meant you had at least 3 viruses on your computer"

    Jump

  • I’m right there with you, but the OP mentions social media, and that’s all that shit is.

    Our society has allowed the way many people keep in touch with one another to be via psychologically manipulative, attention harvesting, advertising machines.

  • From inside, “Made in the USA” feels like it’s going to be us chained to paying 2x the cost for wildly inferior products. See for example, cars.

  • All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes

    Jump

  • I did already get myself some Surface Shield which is exactly that kind of lanolin based protectant, after also reading about some of the more hardcore stuff like POR-15 that I'd worry could trap water or hide damage.

    I've used it a bit on my car near where I have some wheels removed to work on the brakes, and tried it on some garden tools.

    Impressions are very good and I totally plan to cover the underside of my car with this stuff when finishing up work on it. Just not the exhaust I imagine.

  • DONE, lol.

    I kinda want to get something with a manual transmission again, so it will very likely be a japanese brand.
