I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.

Oh shit. I like this one!

Now do divorce

Batman! NanaNanaNanaNana…

I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, sam-I-am.

Tarlov then said […] “Scrabble can be a tough game”. Co-host Greg Gutfeld replied, “So is life!” before admitting that he has never played Scrabble.

Highly recommend Inscryption. It’s a fantasy-mystery-horror deck builder that turns into a surreal, recursive, experience. It’s a masterpiece.

I’m mainly concerned about:

1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
2. Fast reads
3. Easy plug and play expansion

Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.

Fucking hell.

This is not correct.

The word “woke” as a political term predates that group- York started trying to found a group in 1967, and “woke” was first used to warn black men of threats from racially motivated whites in 1931, by a singer named Lead Belly, then even more directly as a political term in 1971 in a play called “Garvey Lives!”

Whether York used it that way or not, it’s clear that he didn’t invent the usage.

I’m pulling most of this info from Wikipedia and Google to save anyone else reading the effort.

It’s not an acronym.

It originally meant “awake” in English, kept that meaning in the American black community after it fell out of use among whites (e.g. “I was having trouble staying woke on the drive”), and was repurposed as slang. The slang meaning was “to be aware of prejudice or racism”, with the implication that many blacks were “asleep”, i.e. accepted excuses for racist systems, believed that racism wasn’t a big deal anymore etc.

I’m not sure whether the word was adopted seriously by leftists generally before the right, or immediately became a catch-all label on the right, but either way, it’s become the latter.

Conservatives and some left-critical leftists now use it as a broad term that refers to things like DEI initiatives, anything trans, etc.

Might want to add River Tam from Serenity as well.

My partner and I have founded a company that uses custom AI models trained on research to (partially) automate the process of peer review and replication. We can identify mistakes and some types of fraud in research to aid reviewers as well as extract methods and equations from papers and automatically verify findings. If you know anything about the state of research right now, those are some incredibly large benefits.

Yeah, but it would take a few years, I imagine. I’m not really trying to make points that have long term good outcomes, but ones that a politician could make to justify the purchase. I think we’re all aware that our elected officials don’t give a shit about the long term outcomes.

It might be more cost effective to just buy Mexico.

1. New, much shorter border with Guatemala, ripe for wall building, if that’s your jam.
2. No more worries about mexicans coming over the border to be in the US.
3. Additional domestic manufacturing, including ~30% rise in cars made in the US.
4. US police and national guard can act directly against gangs in Mexico state.
5. Ideally, infrastructure and policing investments lead to decline in northern migration, or equal and opposite migration south.

Seems doable, assuming they would sell, and might cost less than a war.

I used to have a power shell script that a coworker gave me that would uninstall a huge number of services and apps on windows, change a bunch of config settings etc.

I’ve always wished there were a way to roll out a stripped windows release as an open source project without getting sued.

I’d watch the shit out of this.

It’s much better than the show. The show was shit and they significantly changed the characters in extremely stupid and unnecessary ways.

I had Kagi for a bit and enjoyed it, but I’m not sure I use search enough to justify the price tag.

I didn’t know about the personalized SEO thing- I wonder if you could have a “default SEO rank” that would basically average all the specific uprank/downranks from other users. So power users tweak their algo, and everyone else gets the benefit of using that human feedback to improve their results.
