  • That first one is where I feel I've seen myself and others get downvoted more than anything else listed here. Maybe it is recency bias from that one thread the other day lol.

  • ABGT fan by any chance? I've listened to many impactful songs on their show over the last few years.

  • I didn't major in musical anything but approach music very much like you.

    Totally agree that there's a level of communication through music that goes beyond words. With you on jazz. Classical, too. I'll throw out Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 ("From the New World"). Hits me like a freight train every time, as one of myriad examples.

  • I hope not yikes.

    Drier lint also can be used as kindling, in a pinch.

  • So, he's desperate because the whole charade is starting to collapse. Interesting.

    Kind of like those movie set facades.

  • Perhaps. But I think there's no point in even trying to make sense of his bullshit like that, because it ignores the fact that he is bad faith.

    No I didn't mean to say he is operating in bad faith.

    I mean everything he does, says, his whole persona, everything about him, near him... His entire existence. It's all bad faith lol. He is the walking embodiment of bad faith.

    He makes ever more outrageous claims and repeats it until people are talking about it. It shocks, it puts you on the defensive. It confuses and confounds. It dominates.

    It's not a denial or brilliant logic. It's a power move of crude, clumsy, brute force. It's breaking the whole game of statements and denials and counter claims and all that. It's like playing chess and suddenly breaking your opponent's arm and pissing on them.

    Because he's too pathetic and stupid to do anything calculating, deliberate, and complex. But the tactic is effective just like some brainless water buffalo stumbling around kicking the heads of predators purely on instinct is effective.

    So the shit spewing from his head hole isn't about whether it is true or to be made sense of any more than the mindless flailing of some dumb prey animal is to be analyzed for its Karate technique.

  • And lead exposure.

  • Yes. Every single time. Even if it is just walking around the block at a swift pace a few times a week (light to medium exercise). Usually the depression reduces after the 3rd or 4th time, sometimes sooner: fewer negative thoughts, less anhedonia, more motivation, less negative attitude, etc. If I keep at it, usually I actually can find myself in a good mood. Why the hell do I stop exercising then? I'll have to get back to you on that.

  • Oof. Would a mirror help? Either clip onto handle bar or clip onto glasses/sunglasses?

  • I mean motion is all relative anyway, right? So would teleportation be like throwing a ball on a train? That is, the ball's motion depends on the frame of reference. So maybe teleporting would work that way if it were actually possible.

  • Very cool. Easily my favorite use for 3d printing.

    Related, I think there are several sets of files for various RC cars I have run across. Would be kind of fun to download a whole (RC) car :)

  • Yum. Not sure if it is the same stuff or comparable but my lazy-ass guac is basically mashed avocados and Lawry's Fire Roasted Chili and Garlic Powder and it is quite yummy with chips.

    This stuff:

  • They don't even remotely give a shit about legal precedent. I haven't been keeping score but this and Roe v Wade makes at least two examples of "settled law" being thrown in the dumpster.

  • Or...

    • When it's thee: rules apply
    • When it's me rules don't apply
  • Though this order is temporary, the result is quite surprising. Texas’s law, which allows state officials to arrest migrants and state courts to order them deported to Mexico, violates 150 years of settled law establishing that the federal government, and not the states, gets to decide which foreign nationals may enter or remain in the United States.

    I think we can safely say that there is no longer such a thing as "settled law". JFC I just cannot with these illegitimate hacks.

  • Hopefully people with more of a clue than me will chime in... Meanwhile, my best swag is the filesystem had issues and had to do an fsck? If that's the case it would boot quickly next time assuming a clean shutdown.

    Were there any errors during boot?

    Fastboot enabled in BIOS or no? (Not sure if this has anything to do with anything I'm just trying to look useful)

    PS: the weird active time could maybe somehow be related to the filesystem being borked needing fsck? I'm not sure.
