They all sound similar. Some, though, get really blurry. Led Zeppelin comes to mind; when I was listening through their albums they’d get pretty blurry. Seconding also AC/DC.


Happens all the time. Especially the more fundamentalist you get.


On demand recirculating works reasonably well but only for people who tolerate it. Push button, wait 3 min, water hot. It works for me but I know it’s way too much trouble for other people. It saves water and energy.
If nvidia hadn’t hit expectations it might have started something.
I’ve pushed the limits of the SAF a few times.
Noting that I could buy a new NAS every year with what we save on not Netflix is helpful occasionally.


Anecdotally, weed is hard to dose I go from a subclinical dose to a wicked depressive hangover spanning multiple days with weed whereas alcohol just keeps me feeling bad for a day. There’s also a lot of focus on making 1000mg gummies that you can have 1/10th of instead of a steady .1mg per gummie that you can have 50 of. It doesn’t replace a beer socially, yet.
But I’m interested in what’s developing in research as far as quality and reliable dosage and most importantly the type of high. There’s a lot of variables and I hope that the research can happen because some people react so positively to it.
It’s cheaper to build a new server. Cloud… just isn’t cheap. Makes sense for accounting purposes and business reliability standards to a degree but not much for home use.
This happened to me:
Now my whole family relies on this underpowered house of cards.


I think you can just as easily flip that on its head.
USA consistently weaponizes its companies through sanctions. If a country wants to be part of the global economy you need to do business with USA banks (eg SWIFT) and tech, and if your country is sanctioned, it cannot. Speaking of tech, the tech companies actively participates in wiretapping and that’s really old news - who knows what they’re doing today.
China is typically careful about throwing its weight around because of its high dependency on exports and limited deployment capability of its army.
In terms of a shooting war with the USA, China has a strategic advantage in being able to shut down Canadian transportation remotely, agreed.
I think recent events have shown, however, that there’s no guarantee that the USA would automatically be on the side of Canada. I’m thinking more it’s more along the lines of how Germany and Austria were “on the same side” in WWII ie Annexation.


That’s for a passenger ticket, not for a container. Just seems high for what I imagine is going to be a non-luxury cruise.


Can you just make the start menu appear when I click it instead of several second later? Is that so much to ask?


How is China different than another belligerent nation, such as the one directly to the south of Canada? Thousands of vehicles with OnStar, Teslas, etc.? Ring? I mean the list goes on.
“Good” software based RAID (unraid, zfs, etc.) needs reliable access directly to the drives. Usually, USB attached storage doesn’t meet this criteria.
Not using RAID is risky unless you’re very confident in your extensive backups (which you should have anyways).
Personally I have been using a mini PC running TrueNAS with a JBOD over USB3.1 for years and have had some hiccups but nothing catastrophic, but I’m migrating it soon to a device I can use SATA.
Hardware raid is typically not a great idea because you’re usually tied to the chip.


More like “What the Irish government did (to drive the economy forward without thinking about long term impacts to services and reliance on robber barons)”
They created a tax haven which created some jobs but doesn’t really capture on the value creation.

That’s what I was thinking. Crazy.

“We’ve consistently voted Republican, they try nothing, and we’re out of ideas.”
What’s the Midwest got going on that’s driving up the costs?


a two-week crossing from Saint-Nazaire to Baltimore on Neoline costs €3,200 (£2,800).
That seems crazy. That works out to £200 per day, on a cargo ship.
I really want these to take off. Container shipping is cost efficient but it really seems like an obvious, if complicated solution to drive costs and emissions lower.
Cloudflare is a business service primarily and the people who should be worried about its monopoly are the businesses, not so much a handful of people running home servers.


And cocaine
It’s not laws that prevent disclosure. It’s laws that require it
