It’s really unfair. The older we get, the faster time seems to pass, and the less we have to spare. If we’re lucky, maybe we can get 15 or 20 years at the end to enjoy our labour…most of us will be too banged up from the grind to enjoy it.
✊🤜🤛 the struggle is real fam
I also love to fiddle, but the ADHD steers the ship a lot, and so I sometimes end up bricking my install… I’d say it’s a thing I’m working on, but you seem nice…and I’d hate to lie to you.
Or had a lot of time, and have streamlined their setup to the point that they don’t spend nearly any time on the fiddly bits, because they now have next to no time.
Yeah, not sure what the actual options are, but hopefully they get it sorted.
Depends on what medium it’s on. Some are far better than others, so as a generalisation I said what I said. A majority of folk these days, when they think digital media storage, think solid state. Which is, in fact, not suited for long term storage. A piece of paper stored correctly is going to outlast a usb drive, SD card or SSD.
The possibilities are endless.
I gotta get offline now. This morning hasn’t been too great for my mental health.
It’s all hypothetical for now. But with control of the house and senate, there’s not a single thing actually stopping them as long as the rank and file of the GOP stay in line and push everything through. Hopefully there’s enough liberal and further left inclined “Well organised militias” to fight back against anything super fashy…
As @hollyberries pointed out, archive’s servers are on American soil, if there’s a federal ban on improper(“fake”) knowledge, their assets could easily be seized. No laws would have to change from today for them to do this, they’d just have to think up a somewhat reasonable excuse…
And also good to keep in mind is that digital storage is volatile. Yes it’s impractical to have a few terabytes printed out, but if stored properly, it’ll last longer than digital media storage.
Another thing to consider:
If things go full on crazy, like they seem likely to do, being in possession of improper knowledge could be a capital offence when the thought police come knocking.
Fuckin sick! Sign me up! If only I had friends…
I personally prefer Median XL. If it were a choice between PoD or PD, I’d say PoD.
LINE GO UP! ENDORPHINS GO BRRRRRRRRR!
I just recently started getting mystery pain in my balls, unfortunately for me there doesn’t seem to be any physical signs. No inflammation, no infection current or past, no kidney stones. Best the GP can figure is it’s nerve related. Kinda felt like someone had my jewels in a vice grip, then occasionally would let go so they could give em a really hard punch. I say felt because the GP put my on nerve pain meds that seem to be working. Takes the edge off anyway. And they are an antidepressant as well, so my nuts hurt, but at least I’m in a good mood.
Haven’t had to use them recently, check out the man?
I had a dentist in Canada tell me all my front teeth needed to be removed, implants for the top and dentures for the bottom. I was 27. I’m now 38, still have all of those teeth he’d said needed replacing. The next dentist I saw was absolutely floored when I told her what he’d advised me to do. And if he hadn’t been such a condescending asshole, just a little bit more understanding that not everyone can afford consistent dental care… well…I’d probably have gone and had him do it.
As a fellow Canadian, make sure to not let PP get in so that we’re on the good side of the next ww…
