  • Burned out being a sysadmin, took a lower position, ended up with less responsibility and more pay. :)

  • Blog sites are not allowed. Medium, Blogger, Substack.

  • Would be hilarious to see a primary with Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka.

  • Under the UN Genocide definition, both are the same:

    https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition

    "Article II

    In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

    1. Killing members of the group;
    2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
    3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
    4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
    5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

    It only takes ONE to be called a genocide. Israel has run the table, 5 for 5.

    Russia? 4 for 5 in Ukraine. I can't think of instances of bullet point #4.

  • Wait, that's a Winter only thing? My wife uses those ALL the time!

  • You're not wrong, but we don't allow editorialized headlines. If you fix it, I'll restore it.

  • A GREAT game to play with kids is called "Stacking". Looks like there's a Linux version so you might be able to get it running on the Pi:

    PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, OS X, Linux

    The gag is this...

    You play the smallest of a set of Russian nesting dolls and you want to re-unite with your family.

    In order to do that you have to solve a bunch of puzzles in a world filled with other Russian nesting dolls.

    You can jump into any doll one size larger than you, and you can jump out to be one size smaller.

    Each doll has a specific skill or ability, so by swapping bodies, you use the various skills to solve the puzzles.

    The challenge is, you might find one that has the right skill, but you're too small to jump into them, so you have to find the right chain of dolls to size up and size down to do what you need to do.

  • Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt.

  • Not at home, but I had a job that shared a parking lot with a movie theater. "Oh, off work, I don't want to go home yet... hey, Independence Day is still playing..."

    I must have seen that dozens of times in the theater.

  • Same, that was my experience browsing "All" as a new Lemmy user... "Wow... that's a lot of furry porn... and gay porn... and gay furry porn..."

    Blocking those communities one by one rendered the All feed mostly sensible.

  • Well, define "Reasonably Priced". I dig the Steam Deck for that kind of thing.

  • World is a US free zone, it is not the place to post about American television shows.

  • What would you say about this?
