I put my leftover pizza in a Ziploc bag, it doesn’t dry out even after a week (and probably longer, but at that point something else is eating it…)

AFRICAN-American

Well, that started out as a euphemism for “black” because some people decided that made them uncomfortable… Of course in the literal sense, Elon Musk is African American, even though everyone knows that’s not what’s intended…

“hack hack,” hackened he.

I’ve asked my kids to fetch my glasses for me a few times… They know not to handle the lenses…

I once had a PSU fail catastrophically- arcing, visible from around a corner and down a hall, and quite loud. I didn’t want to go near it, circuit breakers were closer anyway, but I didn’t know which one so I just hit them all. Once replaced, I fired up the machine and… I think the cmos was cleared, but other than that, no ill effects.

I need to get one of those. I have 5 spinning disks + 1 SSD, though not much else high powered - it’s a file server, CPU is at least 8 years old, and GPU (if you can even call it that) is passively cooled… I just replaced my 500W power supply because its fan had died (explains why occasionally I’d come home and find it powered off) and nothing under 650W had enough SATA power connectors, so that’s what I ended up with. Curious how overkill it is…

I look at number of connectors… Who cares about wattage, I just need a mass of cables to tuck into every spare bit of space… Fans hate me.

I feel like “chose to have” is a bit strong when “chose not to abort” might be more accurate…

Welcome to the internet?

Because they know most people don’t care, and this will blow over in a few more days.

Noted. When I develop an essential piece of software, I will name it George.

Too late.

Yes.

Fetchez la vache!

when did Israel specifucally taregt civilians?

They do it often. Here’s a particularly nasty one from 2009, there are plenty more if you care to look.

Hydrogen is not an energy source, it is a means of energy storage, and a pretty bad one at that.

Tell that to my former employer…

I watched someone make this mistake during a screen share, she hit execute and I screamed “wait! You forgot the where!” Fortunately, it was such a huge database that SQL spun for a moment I guess deciding how it was going to do it before actually doing it, she was able to cancel it and ran a couple checks to confirm it hadn’t actually changed anything yet. I don’t think anything computer related has ever gotten my adrenaline going like that before or since

Landlords and groceries can just raise prices to bring the cost of living up

They already can, and do. If they do it too much, people leave that area. With a UBI, there’s nothing that says you have to live in a big city, it would be easier to move to bfe, where it’s always going to be cheaper. It’s not ideal of course to uproot and leave, but it’s possible, and it’s that possibility that keeps prices somewhat under control.

We all are, hiding it doesn’t help.
