- Comment on Am I the only one who's "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? 8 months ago:
I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:
-
Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants
-
Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)
-
Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites’ cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list
-
uBlock Origin
The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen “enable history to see recommendations” blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It’s not. I remember all the channels I like, and it’s easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.

Ten pills once is chump change
When I was a patient at the VA pain clinic for a couple years, I could fart ten pills on any given day.

- Comment on Why didn't SBF flee? 11 months ago:
Because he’s a narcissist that thought he could talk his way out anything. He obviously thought wrong, but I’m willing to bet he still thinks it’s everyone else that’s wrong.
- Comment on Duo out here teaching me the essentials 1 year ago:
I went to a certain military training school with some linguists, and they told me they had face-to-face proficiency tests like quarterly.
The tests would start with normal benign conversational topics, like one would expect, but then escalate to weirdness from there.
Things like “Are you more worried about the recent nuclear-waste-being-found-in-kayaks issue, or the ongoing chihuahuas-shitting-out-whole-uncured-meat-products problem?”. The point was to see if the linguist could piece together information from non-standard esoteric shit.
Those 615 giraffes look like they’d fit right into such a test.

Wait do you actually want your X axis inverted too?
Baldur’s Gate 3, its camera x-axis is inverted by default (Q looks right, E looks left).
Took me a while, but I adjusted.

- Comment on Seven Corndogs 1 year ago:
7’s the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin’ on a branch, eatin’ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You know that old children’s tale from the sea. It’s like you’re dreamin’ about Gorgonzola cheese when it’s clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

Present them.
- Comment on Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with th same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now? 1 year ago:
and on camera at all times
Reminds me of the time cops raided a pot collective, tore out what they thought were all the cameras, and proceeded to make themselves at home.
Tore out all the cameras they did not. They were caught on camera eating the pot merch, playing darts, and joking about kicking an amputee in her “nub”.
- Comment on why host your own files when someone else can do it for you 1 year ago:
A website can be composed of a bunch of files that your browser downloads and then renders to what you see on your device.
One type of file is javascript code, which sometimes can be relatively large, like several megabytes (MB). If a website gets hit by a lot of users, those MBs add up, and can chew through the bandwidth allotted for the given website. Consuming more bandwidth can cost more money for the website operator, who pays a hosting company for the website’s resources (disk space, compute time, network bandwidth).
To help alleviate this, and to also make these downloads faster around the world, Content Distribution Networks(CDN) exist. The idea is that you upload your large files to the CDN, and then have your website link to those big files, and now your website has offloaded the big downloads elsewhere. However, contracting with a CDN costs money too, just maybe not as much as a website’s host charges.
This brings us back to the case in from this post. What the dev did, was choose not to pay for a CDN to link to, but used archive.org’s copy of the large file to link to. So when a user loads the website, all of the big bandwidth hog files are being served for free from archive.org. But it’s really not free from archive.org’s perspective, since they’re the ones ultimately paying for the bandwidth.

Getting sober for the first time in decades, without proper medical support, is enough to become suicidal for sure. Hell, even with proper support, the psychological adjustment can be overwhelming.

Then suddenly one day she decided diapers were for babies and started pooping in the toilet
Watch out though, apparently this can flip right back like a light switch.
For instance, my dad turn 76 and bam, right back to diapers.
