You have told us what you both watch, but what do either of you do that isn’t just consuming someone elses creative work?

It’s eatablished common law. Park your steam powered velocipede in a right of way and one can suck it.

Plot twist: all personal and work internet access is free! (when channeled through the 7g gubbmint chip implanted in your brain at birth)

Here’s the original publication for those wanting more implementation details.

Soju. So sweet and easy to drink, such disproportionate consequences later.

You also need the horn section for that phat sound.

That’s when I fell in love with the TV Buffy the vampire slayer series. I remembered as a kid having a surreal sort of unease with the new Darren. When Buffy brought in Dawn, I felt so validated.

Yeah, maybe run a safety calibration or clean the filters or something. Holodecks are dangerous.

Extruded aluminum of that type is insanely stable and easy enough to build for a reasonably handy person.

You only need a cheap cutoff saw and a drill, or you can order pre-cut and ore-drilled pieces to order.

There are a number of makers of extruded aluminum building systems, basically tinkertoys for adults. I have personal experience using 80/20 and the Tslots brands. They are functionally identical.

I have used it to build stands for heavy equipment like ultra-cold freezers for labs. It is more than sufficient for any server racking.

Yeah, what’s this meme about? I use Docker on a pi 4 with 8gb of ram to run Home Assistant and Paperless-ngx, plus some simple out-of-container home network monitoring scripts. The little guy rarely uses all the cores.

It is interesting. Sadly I am very familiar with thought-stoppers as an escapee from an insidious cult.

“It is what it is.”

It infuriates me because it is usually said by a person so mentally lazy that they are causing problems for others. You can’t say it is what it is unless you can tell me what ‘it’ is!

It’s not ‘acceptance’, it’s spiritual bypassing at best and it makes me want to puke.

That might have been safer than the OP concept.

If this becomes common, eventually there will be a chain reaction on a crowded grid-locked freeway.

It will work something like this:

Oh the huge manatee!

Still fully operational and has kept alll the rich features that made it indispensable when it was new.

Just be sure to eat your veggies! You will know when the time is right.

Indeed. In intro biology they teach species concepts and then the minute you advance to the next level you are slammed with all the flaws and fuzziness inherent in the definitions.

Biology is, frankly, the most difficult science for this very reason. Fuzzy categories are necessary for us to start understanding complexity, but the categories can become a hindrance too when you are really trying to push into new territory.

Treat all classification schemes as provisionally useful, but never mistake them for reality.

I prefer ‘species agnosticism’ when it comes to bacteria, most of the time. It doesn’t matter very often what species something is in environmental scenarios like biogas digesters or composting. Their general function is more important than exactly what species they may be according to current schemes.

The only folks who need to identify ’species’ in bacteria are in medical fields, and even then the real concern is whether the bacteria of interest carry specific genes, such as EPEC/EHEC in E. coli. E.coli is everywhere, but only some types carry the genes that make them dangerous.

So my answer is ‘meh’. It’s useful to be able to categorize things, but it can also become an unproductive obsession. Use the classification scheme that works for your application domain. Leave the gnat-straining and bean-counting to the academics.

Yes. I grew up during the fight for ERA (equal rights amendment). I clearly remember asking my mom what the fuss was about and she said it would make separate mens and womens bathrooms illegal. About 1977ish I think this was

Get the fuck drunk enough and it will suck itself.
