Ha. Was at the self checkout with Wine, so the attendant had to come over and approve the purchase. The sign said ALL Wine purchasers MUST show ID. She didn’t bother to ask for ID, so I said “Umm don’t you have to check my ID?”, gesturing at the sign. She looks and me and says " Nah I think we are good".
So 55 is the Staff’s “I’m pretty sure I won’t lose my job over not chrcking this guys ID”

I think it’s because we are all “choosier” with prospective friends due to time being valuable. You don’t want to invest if you know its probably not a perfect match up.

Not sure, my friends hare it online and in real life

Join now lest ye not be saved. 😀 32 bit time keeping is the issue, most systems are 64 bit now, so its just logistics / implementation issue now, not a technology problem
- Comment on Just another "we are all going to die" prediction 1 week ago:
Sadly the 32bit NAS is stuck at Wheezy, Jessie if you mess around, as the kernel is too big otherwise.

Yep, now we have the 2038 year coming for Linux. It already got me, I didnt want to renew my home NAS certificate every year, so I thought I’d do a 30 year cert. Well after 2038 it rolled the date to the 1960s…
- Comment on What do they put in this stuff? 1 week ago:
Some people have injuries or disabilities, and can’t leave the house.
For example my mom doesn’t have a car and can’t walk to the store and back with heavy stuff. Home delivery of stuff is quality of life.

The “Hey this might be a problem” is definetly a problem
- Comment on Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers 1 week ago:
Some people still keep the old meaninga going.
The west hates the Swastika for obvious reasons, but whenever I go to an Indian store there are swastika brand products because it still has its old meaning to Indians.
First time I went to an Indian coworkers house I stopped dead in my tracks when I approached their door, it was a Hindu special time and they had a giant swatika on the door.

And a time where 3rd party companies had no access to any of them
- Comment on The local supermarket takes protein bar protection. Anyway does anyone know how to open these cases ? 1 week ago:
The weirder thing is how much these cost.
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 1 week ago:
I mean it’s like Bill Cosby who played the Wholesome dad, and did Jello Pudding Pop commercials, then revealed he’s a young girl drug and rape guy. It sucks but people can be monsters beyond the facade. Fame gives a privilidge that seems a lot of people take advantage of.

Did you see the MJ documentary where the kid (now adult) and his family came forward to tell what happened?
Even if you thought the info about MJ masterbating to the kid bent over is fake for some reason, the provable logistics are consistent with a grooming pedophile.Flatter the kid, promise him fame, same with family. Pay for their trips to be with you on tour. Book kid into same room as MJ, but book parents on a different floor or other end of building. Etc

Great podcast.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I think its somewhat early in research. They are seeing they can process info through the neurons like computing, and that at full gestation period there is a change. However they claim that without external sensing and stimuli such as vision or movement or a way to interact with the environment that they arent sure if true conscious like behaviour would emerge, because an organism learns its surrounding and sense of self by interaction with the physical world. Its a scary topic that I don’t have proper knowledge to comment on how beneficial or horrific it might be
- Comment on Unrecyclable packaging like this 2 weeks ago:
Ordered a tiny credit card sized part on Amazon, it came in an enormous box that you could fit a car wheel in…and the box printing said “Now made with less material”. So maybe it equalled out.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely a gray area (pun intended). Research has shown that the neuron lab matter takes the normal gestation period to fully start communicating and organizing properly. So it suggests that its inevitable that neural matter reaches a state of completion ready for life at end of gestarion.
I.e. rat neurons are ready in a few weeks
- Comment on Anyone get this? 3 weeks ago:
Mark Cuban is a difficult one. He has reduced drug prices to the cost plus a profit margin (which is low*) and so its like “Wow somebody cares!” And this has benefited thousands. But then he says I might fund a new venture and sell Cost Plus Drugs one day; So really he doesn’t care, he’s looking for a big buyer to come in and offer a huge payout to stop the big pharma company losses.
- Comment on Do you remember every single scene and dialogue of a show or movie you just watched? 3 weeks ago:
My daughter does. I’ll quote a funny line from a movie, and she’ll correct me with the actual quote.
Not sure how her memory is so amazing for dialog. She did start talking full sentence, with proper syntax, at age two, so maybe its just her gift.
- Comment on Woman died after vegan diet made her delusional 3 weeks ago:
Let’s correct the headline to poor eating habits/diet led to vitamin B12 deficiency, causing delusions.
Because I haven’t eaten meat in 35 years, and haven’t had any dairy, eggs, etc (vegan) in at least 5 years, and my B12 is fine.
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 3 weeks ago:
Hmm, I haven’t encountered that yet. Does the anonymous google login via stuff like the aurora store and microg still work?
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 3 weeks ago:
Use Newpipe if your are on mobile, it is from the fdroid store. No need to login to watch YouTube

Too much calcium can be a variety of issues. Muscle cramps, confusion, kidney stones etc
- Comment on Break the conditioning, maximize your horsepower. 3 weeks ago:
The potassium in it is an alternate salt, so you get your electrolytes without the sodium induced blood pressure changes many people experience.

Not sure where you are but a teachers union here wouldn’t allow those shinanegans. Is it different at University level?
- Comment on VK: Product recall notice: Anko long-range walkie talkie 4 weeks ago:
Reminds me of being a kid in the 80s, the Sears catalog walkie talkies were on the same channel as some trucker CBs. They would get upset at the cross talk.
And my neighbour had a large portable AM / SW radio that looked like any 70-80s style of that era, but It had a listen and talk flip switch on the side for SW. That didn’t seem legal to sell consumer style radio with a broadcast switch.
- Comment on Is evolution only affected by mortality and birth rate? 4 weeks ago:
Random mutations happen, if those with a mutation gain benefits to surviving better than their counterparts then they are evolving to suit the environment. And yes epigenetics play a role also
- Comment on Anon goes back to Windows 10 5 weeks ago:
Yeah so cache it so it doesn’t take time to show you the options. Once you click it can go do bullshit loading. We have a software that used to load and cache the dialogs at first boot and it was fast to use, now it builds the dialog at runtime and is slow to display the options. It sucks.
