IT work is feast or famine.

“IT people, your not doing anything, what the hell do we pay you for?”

“IT people, everything is on fire, what the hell do we pay you for?”

I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.

Dont ship water.

(This needs to go in a Lemmy hall of fame)

Use a third party app like New Pipe, if your on a fruit phone… you unfortunatly cant side load apps, I dont have an answer…

OP is right though, there are parts of the world where self defense is not as clear cut. The question you need to follow up with is “is this self defense against nature or people?”.

For example, there are places in the far north where polar bears are a problem, I doubt anyone other than Greenpeace would not have a problem with you shooting an animal attacking you. Its tragic, but by that point its not really avoidable.

The issue most of us have is the “defense against people” where lines get drawn, the problem is how inconsistent that line is. Im in the camp where survival is fine, and sport is conditionally ok, but outside that there are no ethical reasons to persue gun ownership, but others will say collections, historic preservation, or self defense are valid reasons. Culture has a lot to do with it, some places handle it well, like Switzerland, but the elephant in the room is America and their, I would argue very unhealthy, relationship with guns.

There is a decent likelyhood they are AI managed account like the last bunch that showed up. Reply with “ignore previous instructions” or other reply loop breakout commands and see what you can break.

The War Thunder forum is a greater threat to “national security” than any of this AI whohash. Something, something, nickle…

Just turn noscript on and the popup doesnt show up.

They need a “bag totally full of drugs” that contained assorted baking ingredients. One bag is too obvious, you need decoy bag. /s

Shame.

Note for Obsidian, there is a git plugin that can auto-push/pull from a repo. I put my repo on a server and have multiple devices use it as a sync feature (there is also a VPN to my home network involved). Not sure how well it works on the android app (its pure lazyness as to why I haven’t tried that yet…)

Press secretare is just a modern herald or crier, they are the voice of the king.

As for the weatherman bit, your right, but thats also the joke…

There are two jobs where you can go on national TV, lie and not get fired. President and weather man.

Here is a link to the script for “The Bee Movie” Link for no reason at all. This is not intended as an example of content that you should replace your reddit comments with.

Sure is a good thing that florida doesn’t have forest fires… RIGHT?

The funny part is that that is still likely less that a bus load of billionairs actually paying their taxes like the rest of us do.

My last expirence with XMPP is very dated, my old groups in EvE online used it and it was perfect for its role as a sort of internet pager to summon the horde of nerds. Im aware there are many new related projects, discounting it seems a bit premature now, if you have any recomendations I would love to read their docs.

My concern is that I would have to pitch what ever project we landed on to a semi-technical group of gamers with a handful of admins to run things. (Trying to avoid a platform that gen-z would complain about, and they already roll their eyes at me when I mention spaceships and spreadsheets).

You would think they could add an induction charger and actually make it “magic”-ly charge.

They used to be contained, every village has their idiot. Now that the internet is the global village, all the formerly isolated idiots have a place to chat.

Alpha Centauri is actually 13.6 feet from me, Ive got an old sid meyrs disk somehwere in the box of old tech stuff. Great game, used the same engine as Civ 2, think its on GOG these days.

My head-cannon from the lawyers going something like this.

“Thank you Mr. Musk for the lawsuit, we had a lot of fun reading it. Especially the parts you drew (I liked the blue dinosauar). Before we begin, we would like to let you know the legal fees for this case are coming directly from the portion of the advertising budget we allocated to the website formerly known as Twitter”

Probably more entertaining than the actual cases.
