Damn, never heard that take before. Love to see that get traction.

How does someone so socially clueless navigate the real world? Must be challenging, I salute you!

The Half Life demo was 50MB. Took me 4 tries to get it over dialup. Played till the sun came up!

She’s right in that posting gives candidates an edge. LinkedIn ups your visibility if you post once or twice a week. Fucking hate making up some stupid shit just to keep my resume more available.

How does a man make it to 26 without slipping, tripping and falling in some pussy?! By 32: Had two girls I never met come knocking one night. Neighbor dropped their cousin on me, two nights in a row. Had a stripper I’d blown off the night before barge in my room and have her way with me. Weirdly, I don’t think I’ve ever met and immediately bedded someone I met at a bar, despite 2,000 nights in bars. :( Maybe once? Much of my youth is a blur.

For context; I’m short and scrawny, not exactly Brad Pitt here fellas. Is all it takes showering, basic hygiene, dressing decently and not being a weirdo?!

Same reason lemmy downvotes Sxan for using a thorn.

Lemmy: We support diversity! The weirder you are the better! We accept all people!

Also lemmy: Fuck your thorns.

Holy shit, this thread made me realize Hammond invited the scientists and grandkids to the island with a hurricane inbound. Not like those things just pop up like tornadoes. You know it’s coming as much as a week in advance.

American here, kids are 11 and 13. I have no memory of paying anything for our doctors, testing, delivery, anything at all. I had health insurance for myself, and my wife was unemployed for at least one of those births.

Posts like this really fuck with my head. We were living in a trailer on one income and somehow it was all free? Had to have been, I’d remember the budget hit back then. We didn’t get any sort of welfare, not even food stamps. But we must have?

Also, their infant to toddler years were basically free. Clothes, toys, furniture, whatever, all $0. My ex might spend $10 on FB Marketplace and score a monster garbage sack of basically new clothes. Only real expense I remember was diapers. No getting away from that!

There are dozens of FB groups, even in this little metro, giving baby stuff away. You buy it, use it a few months or a year, pass it on. Want a car seat? There is at least one at someone’s curb here in the hood, right now tonight.

My wife breast fed our first, couldn’t go as long for second born. First go round she bagged and donated milk. Second go round, we got that milk back. We did spend a little on formula, but much was donated.

Just don’t understand why people act like babies are so expensive.

You might like this Morakniv. I got it to cut rope on the water and in case of emergency. It would zip through a seat belt. Cheap, weighs nothing.

I was gonna say, nobody is calling cheetahs dangerous. 🙄

They’re cool to swim with! Water’s plenty clear where they hang. Ex-gf was a diver and had a side hustle taking people swimming with manatees near the warm springs where they post up for the winter.

They’ll come right up on you! You just can’t touch them. She even got a pic of a newborn! Like, a few minutes old newborn!

Petting a manatee is a $10,000 fine. No touch.

Investors and fund managers know damned well they’re holding a swelling water balloon. As with the AI bubble, they’re trying to ride the tiger and bail at the last minute. Problem with riding a tiger is you can’t really get off without getting chewed up, hence the saying.

“I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn’t screw to save its species.”

Look to the insurance companies to figure risk, it’s what they do. It’s like global warming, if it’s not real, why are insurance companies pulling back?

Gonna need an address. K THANX BYE.

Best is possessing both. Get. On. My. Level.

Who would have to know what? Foreign actors hardly require the administration’s permission to engage in propaganda.

Active Directory is a monster. Got downvoted to hell the other day for saying there is nothing out there that comes close for managing a fleet of machines. Most of the idiot arguments revolved around thinking AD is fancy LDAP.

“Linux and Mac can do authentication!”

If one’s view of AD is that limited, we’re not having the same conversation. Cross connect AD with Powershell and Hyper-V, you have a robust ecosystem for enterprise. And there are zero issues with running headless Linux servers on Hyper-V.

He was sizing you up! We’ve recently figured out that their pin-head brains can pattern match well enough to recognize human faces. He was getting a lock on you and filing your face away in his threat matrices. :)

Tested this myself! Wasps were building a nest directly above my front dog. Pig went out the dog door, I out the regular door, many times a day. Made a point of not staring or reacting if they flew close. Zero issue for either of us. Only time they got riled up when when I got my face close and stared for a few seconds.

CAVEAT: This does NOT apply to hornets, particularly the ones that boil out of the ground. Run for the fucking hills.
