An average person should never disassemble a microwave. Your microwave contains an enormous capacitor which if it’s bleed-off resistor is burnt out can hold a lethal amount of energy for many hours and can electrocute you.

As a child I was labeled a bad writer because my writing was so sloppy it made a doctor’s prescription look like typed text. I’d always choose a pencil over a pen. Then in college a friend let me use their nice pen and I could write so much better. Turns out I was just always using the cheapest pens possible, and that sometimes quality does come at a cost worth paying.

To Quote Mr. Rogers:

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.

Yeah, it’s kind of lost all meaning. I’ve seen Marxists call Liberals tankies, and I’ve seen Liberals calls Marxists tankies. I’ve seen right wingers call Leftists tankies, and I’ve seen Leftists call Centerists tankies. I know where the word came from, and who the first tankies were but I rarely know what a person’s intent is with that word anymore. Maybe it’s just young people slang now and I’m just too old to get it.

Because I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it anymore and what’s it seems weird and scary. And it’ll happen to you!

Lookup Folding @ Home or boinc. It’s basically the same thing.

Kay this is just semantics at this point, so ultimately it’s unimportant because delving this deep into it distracts from the overall conversation.

With that said, wouldn’t the existence of a post office and other socialized services make the US (and basically every nation state in existence) by strict definitions, a mixed economy? Like if we had to keep to first year undergrad levels.

To be clear for the back row, being this pedantic about semantics not only distracts from the overall conversation but when made as a serious point is at best a sign of ignorance, and at worst it’s an argument made in bad faith in order to move the goal post. This comment is meant as an aside. Ultimately like everything else an economy is a spectrum, and strict categories are more often than not caused by our desire to make things simple.

4’33" composed by John Cage, with the accompanying orchestra of course.

I read it as comparing the three exposures to each other.

The first evolution, Charmander was exposed to lead and the toxic effects of lead are pretty fast acting. Meaning they were weakened the quickest and couldn’t evolve.

Charmeleon was exposed to asbestos which has latent toxic effects, they show up decades after exposure. So the Charmeleon lived quite a while before they showed any noticeable effects.

The final evolution was exposed to micro plastics and because, so far, micro plastics seem to be so unreactive they just chill doing nothing the Charazard had an opportunity to evolve.

It’s a pro-police flag. It’s supposed to represent the thin blue line between law and order. It’s routinely used by people who support the police to a weird extent and as a counter symbol to the Black Lives Matter protests/movement.

I feel bad for people who truly can not afford good kitchen stuff, granted most people in my area can. Otherwise yeah, assuming the person were discussing can afford it. There’s no going around spending a little money on good kitchenware if decent results are expected. It’s not like people have to drop thousands, but a few hundred is kinda normal.

Also tip for anyone who’s building up their first kitchen, those gimmicky things that are always on sale are almost always crap. Buying that stuff is worse than gambling, cause at least gambling doesn’t leave you with a kitchen full of worthless clutter.

First off, a word of warning. TempleOS and any fork I’ve seen does not do hardware monitoring. Meaning the OS has no clue what the CPU temp is or any other temp or power usage. Modern hardware should be able to protect itself from this, but it’s a fuck around and find out kinda deal. These operating systems can fry your hardware, it’s very unlikely but not impossible.

That said, the best one is TinkerOS. It’s more or less the same as TempleOS but for newer hardware. Most other forks we’re more or less hobby projects by various people and I don’t think there’s much documentation on those if at all. I’d never use any of them as a daily driver though, as neat as they were.

The Wikipedia page is your best friend here. In short was an operating system written from the ground up by a brilliant, bipolar and occasionally psychotic man who was named named Terry Davis. It is important to mention when talking about Terry Davis to note he stalked several women and he probably took his own life.

It was Terry’s belief that a way to speak to God was through computers. So he built an operating system from the ground up to act as God’s temple. It’s actually a pretty nifty achievement truth be told and an interesting view into the mind of someone suffering from psychosis. It is not suitable for every day use, but people have taken the foundations of his OS and ran with it making equally interesting operating systems.

You know you can give them a fake name. I’ve known several people who had a go-to name for restaurant reservations or something because their last name was just too complicated or too common. No one’s checking ID.

I’m going to need a charisma check with double disadvantage on that. Good luck.

And your young adult life, your adult life too. Oof your middle age was really unkind to you. At least after all that you get to retire happily on Earth. Say hi to Rumpelstiltskin for me.

Miles O’Brien was Star Trek DNS’ punching bag.

The part that really shocked me is that it got even upvotes and downvotes… Mask off, I absolutely admit that was a troll shit post, I didn’t take it seriously but I also took it seriously enough to not add a /s. I expected to be downvoted to oblivion, I didn’t expect it to be on par. That’s a litmus test for ya.

Edit: Until I downvoted myself that is, now it’s 6 up and 8 down. Seriously though, glad you pushed back against that.

You’re right, it is an unpopular opinion. Maybe keep it to yourself next time you decide to let your fascist flag fly.
