So if a baby elephant weighs 250 lbs (middle of the 200-300 lb range Google gave me) and a corgi is 11 inches tall (and that the extra corgi length is compensated for by the fact that we are assuming that this corgi is spherical), that’s 1.43 lb/in^3. I’ve run out of time to do conversations, but this meteor was apparent at least part neutron star.

“Racists” would be just a circle of the whole map.

Me: “Do the thing.”

OS: “no.”

Me: “Fuck you. Sudo do the thing.”

OS: “yes sir. Right away sir.”

That is the way it should be.

I don’t think I can see a way to actually accomplish that without still ending up with negative outcomes.

Take for example a surgeon, one who is a specialist who’s time is 100% occupied saving people. Does he get taken away from that to do his time as a garbage collector? Do you tell the patient “sorry, you are going to die. You could have been saved, but we needed your surgeon to go pick up garbage.”, or do you have an exemption list?

And if there’s an exemption list, you will never convince me that people wouldn’t start abusing who is and isn’t on that list. You arrive right back to having a class society.

I feel like that entire passage completely ignores the fact that last time the bulk of humanity lived a communal lifestyle, the number of humans on the planet was a few orders of magnitude smaller. It’s a fairly easy setup to maintain when settlements are small and the bulk of people’s time is spent as hunter-gatherers or subsistence farmers. As soon as you put a very large number of people into a city, the communal arrangement falls apart. And many people like living in cities. That genie is out of the bottle, and people are not going to be willing to go back to being a subsistence farmer in a commune.

That’s been one of the goals of just about every socio-economic system, but since are not yet at the point where we can completely automate away all undesirable jobs, it all circles back to being shit.

How are joules less confusing for the purpose of battery life? I’ve heard of exactly zero devices ever that give their energy consumption in joules. I do however, know how to find the power draw of a given device in amps, and then I can very easily estimate how long I can run that device for if I know the battery capacity in amp-hours.

So from two seconds of Googling, it looks to be a proton issue, which zypper dup would do nothing to change. Proton versions are controlled from within steam.

Does the game have kenal level anticheat? Because if it does, it doesn’t matter what distro you choose, it’s the anti-cheat blocking the game from starting.

Some countries allow it. The major difference is that other people cannot choose for you. Your family can’t “put you down” but you can choose to have a doctor assist.

Most consumer units will at least make a half-assed attempt to pick the least occupied frequency.

Each end of the spectrum a has its own issues.

A centrally managed economy can be great for making unpopular but necessary changes, but are prone to massive failures when the law of unintended consequences inevitably shows up to bite you in the ass.

Free market economies are great for letting complexities sort themselves out, but are terrible for quickly making necessary changes, and you end up with “death by 1000 cuts” instead of one but failure.

In the end, I think it’s best to use the right tool for the right situation. As the goods/services are less critical, or the barriers to doing it yourself are low, a free market approach tends to work better. As the goods/services become more critical, and the do it yourself barriers are high, the free market approach becomes increasingly shitty for everyone but the owners.

I’m guessing that a good chunk of that usage is coming from the TrueNAS VM.

I’m trying to imagine the flavour of Oreos with salsa vs Oreos with nacho cheese, and I think that the cheese option would taste better. Not good, but better than salsa.

ISP. They they piggyback off Rogers/Cogeco/whoever for the last mile connection, but in my experience have been more reliable and haven’t had any of the downtime that Rogers has.

First of all, fuck Rogers with a rusty statue of a cactus, and second, fuck them again.

I don’t understand how a company that big can be that bad at uptime. I moved to Teksavvy years ago and haven’t had any outages since. I refuse to do direct business with any of the big three.

There’s a market out there for literally any kind of smut you can think of. It might be a small market, but there will be a market.

It kinda works for me. Sipping on a whiskey works to shift the craving for chips after I’ve already eaten dinner. Of course, that goes out the window if I don’t keep it to the one drink.

the phone call is more convenient as it can be placed from anywhere

And that’s half the problem. My job deals with things that physically exist, and if you can’t be bothered to get your ass in here to actually look at it, I can’t be bothered to deal with whatever your problem of the day is (yes I’m getting bitter about engineers sitting at home telling me “BuT iT wOrKs iN CAD”).

Also, in person conversations are far more effective than phone conversations. Human communication is far more than just purely verbal.

Email tends to have less expectation for immediate response and doesn’t have unavoidable “message read” notifications. Most importantly, in my experience at least, people tend to put more details into an email. Texts, teams messages, etc seem to cause people to try and speak in single sentences, and then I have to play 21 questions to drag the info out of them.
