I also unplug it to be extra sure

That’s actually how a lot of video codecs work, they just throw a key frame in every so often that has the full image so you can just do diffs for the rest of the frames till the next key frame.

So, if dark matter is primordial black holes, and they’re numerous enough to pass through regularly on human scales, what would stop them from eating each other up and becoming a regular black hole?

I’m ineligible to win the Darwin award.

Edit: huh, having kids doesn’t disqualify you.

Insta is still owned by meta, so it’s all under the same roof.

I was thinking Feline Castro, but yours is pretty good

I came to the same realization about my audiobooks through audible, so I’ve archived my audible account and now they can’t take my books :D

Home Assistant has voice controls, but I have t had a chance to use them. I’ve heard really good things tho, just waiting on real hardware vs making my own.

There have been a couple occasions I’ve had to take close to a gram of edible before I felt anything. You’d be absolutely ruined by that dose.

I have looked into KVM switches and the only one that I can find for 4 monitors and 2 computers is upwards of $800.

Is there a reason you’re set on having a single kvm? I’m WFH and have both my laptop and PC hooked up to a single set of I/O, and I bought a kvm per monitor. Sure, you have to hit extra buttons to swap around, but I like the flexibility of having a different system on each monitor and the extra on-desk USB ports it gives me.

counter-counterpoint: fuck people who intentionally waste food.

They can be, but you still can’t download a game to it. Because it is a Read Only Memory platform. You’re probably thinking of EEPROM, which is writable.

Yeah, it is chip for the most part and some contactless (and some shit holes only do contactless through their phone app), but crappy chip equipment and card issues means I have to use the stripe about every quarter or so.

Do they not have the stripe as a fall back? We use chips here too, but I periodically still have to use the stripe when a chip reader fails repeatedly.

Stories like that are why my webcam shutter is closed AND it’s unplugged until I need it.

Ain’t nobody seeing me unless I go through the effort to hook it up.

I’ve had 2 coworkers lose their jobs for being diddlers, but nothing other than that really. Only other one 8 have, I didn’t get to witness since I was living out of town at the time, but a shithead ex-boss got walked out by some feds and wasn’t seen again. Gossip was it was INS, and it would serve him right to get deported.

Yeah, but they don’t know how to feel embarrassed. Calling ahead makes it obvious they’re not wanted, which is a hell of a hit to their pride. Doing shit this way hurts their pride less because they can make up whatever excuses they want to justify why they get a cold reception, being told not to come is so much worse because it’s clear that they are unwanted and unwelcome.

Because they don’t want to be told to fuck off before they get there.
