I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.
I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

I’m not sure if you can do it on Sync, but in a browser, you can go to instance name/communities. For instance

I’m pretty sure that’s not exclusive or, as in the not of XOR.

Heroin, opium and morphine are derived from poppies. Too much of any narcotic and you die
- Comment on So you're saying if I put shoes on my dog... 5 months ago:
It’s an emotional support animal, a programming rubber ducky, and it helps with workouts, since having to run after a sheep burns calories.
- Comment on So you're saying if I put shoes on my dog... 5 months ago:
Do doggy boots count as shoes? Do socks count? Would a sheep with boots and a cigar be allowed?

- Comment on The full video from the famous "Tank Man" photo 5 months ago:
I don’t have a link right now. I literally remember seeing it on the television on the nightly news in the United States.
- Comment on The full video from the famous "Tank Man" photo 5 months ago:
I remember the video from the next day and a lot of people were run over. All of the acts of that part of history get conflated in memory. That’s why it’s good to have video and good to have professional historians.
- Comment on Anyone else travel to see the eclipse just to have clouds come in right before totality? 7 months ago:
I was in the 90% range. I tried to find the sun and couldn’t, although someone who was a few miles away said they saw part of it.
- Comment on legs to die for 7 months ago:
What kind of insect is that? I can’t think of anything with that many legs that eats cockroaches.

You’re not necessarily wrong. You just can’t find it at the moment. I have trouble finding information all the time and that’s a big chunk of my job.
- Comment on BIG GEOLOGY 10 months ago:
I don’t know of any handguns small enough to fit into a petri dish. The handgun must be loaded and fired at the petri dish. A large caliber will be easier to aim since it would decrease the need for accuracy. Close range is a better distance. Shotguns and machine guns would do an even better job, rifles are fine. A sword decreases the likelihood of destroying a virus because of its low energy. Standing on a chair while wearing a lab coat makes you look cooler. Two hands can be used to aim the gun if it helps you. The handgun will not fire with the safety on, thus decreasing the probability of destroying the virus.

I’m pretty sure I remember seeing the specs when he moved the server behind Cloudflare. It was put behind their CDN because we kept getting DDoS attacks. It’s fairly nice if I recall correctly.

It is really a Forbes article:

Apparently it came about after Trump suggested drinking bleach.

That is a good point. Thank you!
- Comment on A long and distinguished family 10 months ago:
I see your point, but tamales are traditionally wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. The covering is also not baked or fried onto a tamale.

- Comment on Is there any christian religions that don't believe in space? 1 year ago:
In 6,000 year creationism, some sects believe there was a physical firmament (basically a shell of ice around the earth), but that it fell during Noah’s flood.
- Comment on america 1 year ago:
Hmmm, is that why so many Americans have hearing loss? 😮
Seriously, vehicles and machines are definitely a big part of why I do have hearing loss
- Comment on america 1 year ago:
American here. Is a bicycle anything like a motorcycle?
- Comment on US auto workers strike escalates as UAW president calls on 38 more plants to join 1 year ago:
You’re correct of course. I would think that the company that is already adapted to European workers and are themselves European, could see the benefit of saying, “these American workers would like more pay and benefits. Let’s give them those”, rather than “We aren’t as good as Hyundai at EVs yet, let’s shut down plants and lay people off.”
Why the executives can’t understand that giving a little bit to help others, helps them, I’m not sure. I guess greed and fear get in the way somewhere in their minds. If they would meet the unions demands, and especially if they would actually take the climate crisis seriously, consumers would be falling over themselves to buy those cars.
- Comment on US auto workers strike escalates as UAW president calls on 38 more plants to join 1 year ago:
Labor negotiations in the U.S. should be EASY for Stelantis. They’re Dutch. All they really need to do is say, “Hey, we’ll treat our U.S. workers just like our European workers, give them good pay & benefits.” I’m sure UAW would be more than happy to accept European quality pay & benefits
- Comment on lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse 1 year ago:
I 100% agree! An invite-based system means that a new user has to find some way of contacting someone in order to request an invite. I think that only allowing X posts per day for e.g. the first week or 2 for new accounts would be a way to combat companies and spammers. Not allowing images or limiting image posts for new accounts, and using automated CSAM detection methods, which I understand are in the works, seems to be a good way to combat that problem.

I completely agree! I’ve studied Spanish for decades and I still have trouble understanding any native speaker unless they are speaking slowly.
