Right? I’ve got the original and the 90s version in Jellyfin on my home lab server. 🧟‍♂️

Cool, let me know when the model leaks. 🥱

I know people who lied about having a degree, could do the job, and never got caught. I suppose speed running a degree from a degree mill yields a similar level of education, except with a piece of paper.

I assume it happens elsewhere too, but I wouldn’t know. When traveling abroad as an American, fast food burger joints aren’t exactly my first choice compared to whatever local foods the place I’m visiting has to offer.

If they want a burger that looks like a human hastily assembled it, they should come to the US. The pictures on the menu show a perfectly crafted burger, but that’s not what you get.

I should not have laughed so hard at that. I’m a horrible person.

Here I was thinking we didn’t have a social safety net here. Just have to be dishonest and immoral to get it, which is how everything works in the US, so it makes sense.

I decided against Backblaze for server backups because they charge for certain API calls, and I ended up exceeding the quota when I was testing with the free tier. I was experimenting with encrypted backups and not sure how I exceeded it, but it really put me off that I could potentially have a surprise bill from experimenting without exceeding my storage quota. I went with iDrive e2 specifically because they don’t have API fees and it has worked fine the last couple years. My storage utilization has grown and I’ve been charged extra, which is expected, whereas API calls would be harder to predict depending on what I do in a given month. For self-hosting, I want easy, predictable pricing and don’t want to deal with surprise bills. It’s enough of a chore to manage cloud spend at work without it being a headache at home too.

I first heard pizzle in Kingdom Come Deliverance: “Are you pulling my pizzle?”

I wouldn’t put it past the US government to pull some shenanigans, and I certainly wouldn’t rule out the possibility that some aspect of it was a lie. That being said, I have yet to see any evidence that it was faked that isn’t simply a misunderstanding of the science.

Yeah, “best politician” isn’t really a compliment. The best ones are good liars who commit egregious acts while retaining a base that still worships them. Trump is formidable in that respect, though I think Obama is better. Obama did a lot of shitty things and is still widely adored, whereas most of the population will readily admit Trump is a piece of shit.

I find myself on the phone trying to spell something and come up with words that begin with each letter. Agreed that it’s a solved problem and everyone should just learn it.

TIL that glacier ice is considered a type of mono-mineralic rock: https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/glacier-ice-a-type-rock

There’s an episode of the Little Rascals where the kid wants to be a street car conductor. Not much demand for that job today. Boy, do they pick up the nickels!

But SLS uses Space Shuttle engines and that landed in a runway.

I thought it was a stereogram, but alas nothing popped out at me.

Edit:

Maybe more like this with stubby legs and a long neck?

I would’ve assumed it would be made from plexiglass.
