What do you all check instead of the news?

I’ve realized that I check the news several times a day but not because I’m curious about what’s happening on the grand scheme of things, but because my brain wants to check something that keeps changing with new, evolving information. It fills a slightly different niche than social media, and I don’t watch sports so I...

In seriousness, I would suggest TNG for a comparable experience. Plus it also has Worf.

Just start at season 3, or be ready to go thru the rough years first.

Are you saying Peggy sounds like Nancy Wilson?

It might have been the emerald mine

In that thread, the sponsorblock official account posted:

the ui needs to change to include ad links, so the data for when ads happen should still be retrievable somewhere in the page. Then just a bit of math

So hopefully, there will still be a method for sponsorblock to continue work.

I like this interpretation. Fungible is a great way to describe the function of the physical mirror in the phrasing.

Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god

So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of...

Like Carlin said

Well suppose the thing you want isn’t in God’s Divine Plan? What do you want Him to do? Change His plan? Just for you? Doesn’t it seem a little arrogant? It’s a Divine Plan. What’s the use of being God if every run-down shmuck with a two-dollar prayerbook can come along and fuck up Your Plan?

Am I crazy or is this season 8/9? Why is it called 12 here but 9 elsewhere?

EDIT: Apparently every season after 6 has had two halves, so if you count each half separately this is season 11, but otherwise this is the second half of season 8. en.m.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_Futurama_episodes#Se…

So why is it 12? I’m confused.

Light bounces around and exits a raindrop in many different directions. This graphic illustrates the first(brightest) two that hit your eye, but there will be a third, fourth, etc in decreasing brightness.

There’s a lot of inertia when stopping on the airport trams I’ve been on with these. It could very possibly break a weak arm if one were stuck inside two metal bars.

The existence of the handrail is proof of the potential for heavy inertia

Best way to backup files

I have about 500GB of data (photos, documents, videos etc.) that I have accumulated over the years. Currently, I keep them on my computer and rsync all additions / changes once a month or so to an external hard drive. Do I need to be worried about data loss (sectors going bad, bit rot, bit flip, whatever it is called)?...

criitz ,

Instead of a single external HD set up a NAS with a raid configuration so that even if a drive fails the data is safe.

criitz , (edited )

I’m not super familiar with ZFS/RAIDZ, I guess it does extra data scrubbing and stuff to prevent data issues?

That’s cool. But a traditonal RAID setup still gives you redundancy and fault tolerance which is the important part, right?

This is BS. By the third or fourth bottle shed be like wtf is up with this juice?

(This reduction method helped me quit, but it’s not imperceptible like that)

I mixed my own juice and controlled the nicotine very precisely

I had the same issue as you and I bought a mini PC for under $200 and it works like a charm

They don’t, but pushing your preferred software also isn’t a shower thought.

It’s all good man, it’s just an internet forum.

When a black man was elected president the racism actually ramped up. But it was still quiet. Trump gave them the freedom to be loud about it.

Since the researchers owned and distributed the capital, this was not a capitalist market invented by the monkeys, but one enforced on them by the researchers.

So you can call it capitalism, but it doesn’t disprove the OP tweet like you suggested.

Hard boiled eggs are pretty soft, tbh

Your post is incoherent

Can you explain it? I have no idea what this is about

By law of attraction are we talking about like, gravity or electromagnetism?

I have amblyopia. Is this accurate? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I have amblyopia—also known as lazy eye—which means I often see a bit of double vision—usually a sliver duplicated on the outside side of one of my eyes, even when I’m wearing contacts, and even though I don’t look like I have a lazy eye. My eyes definitely don’t work in concert and I’m told my 3D vision resembles...

I always called them a pair of binoculars. Like pants

This is a classic. Thanks for reminding me about it.

$1000 per instance of contempt is the maximum fine by statute (which yes, means it only punishes the poor). Its possible to be jailed as well, but I think the judge doesn’t want to jump to that too eagerly given the circumstances.

criitz , (edited )

I think it’s ultimately the judge’s discretion and there is no line in the sand. I assume he is wary of the public perception, but damn if it doesn’t just highlight the fact that there is a separate system of justice for “them” and “us”.

Textbook statistics don’t really hold when you have a huge selection bias, as just about any poll does.

I had Bards Tale as a kid, and I never knew wtf I was doing and always died pretty quickly

I think in the plasma all of their heads fly off

Even if humans don’t go extinct, surely untold masses will die from food shortages and disasters.

Sonata Arctica - You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings

When / why / how did "I hope you are well" become a standard email intro?

Practically every email I’ve received in maybe the past year has started with “I hope you are well”. I even had an LLM draft a placeholder email for me and it started with the same thing. This has not always been the case and it’s strange to me that everyone I interact with begins their emails with this line. Frankly,...

criitz ,

It just means you hope the recipient is well.

criitz ,

I think your calculator is interpreting that as -(3^2) and not (-3)^2
