I read "daters" as "dealers" and I ran the whole gamut of emotions in about a half second.

It never really occured to me before, but are we at the point where we have openly gay bullies in schools? I feel like "Your Dad" insults would have way more impact.

charmap.exe? Holy shit. Windows 95 called, but I didn't have a 33.6k modem ready to answer.

The whole "GayDar" thing is a total myth. We actually have Homeshexual, an autonomous self-organising cryptographic mesh network.

I think Hoyle needs to up the Lancastrian. He's got the accent in spades, but he needs to start turning up in a flat cap and with a whippet.

No. Yes. Kind of.

My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it's jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.

Right, but they're not particles travelling through a vacuum. Even a tiny contact at highway speeds is enough to send one or both cars rolling.

Depends where you live, but in my area pizza boxes go with the cardboard.

Flip them on and off repeatedly to put them in pairing mode.

You could say "eygg" or "uurggs". So many options.

I know enough about academia, electrical safety, people and hygiene to find this plausible, reckless, funny and revolting respectively, but not enough about any to know which should win.

Cats tend to land on their feet.

They did do a number on the swastika, in fairness.

It's plaintext all the way down.

You, a fool: "testing things, ignore me."

Me, an intellectual: scrutinizing your comment with unacceptable intensity

If you took away the majority of the bacon this would be a really good breakfast 👍🏽

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

GDPR. Honestly, one of the greatest laws ever passed by anyone, anywhere. No hyperbole, it's so simple and pro-dignity. It also offers a simple litmus test: if you oppose GDPR, I oppose you.
