The science is finding how and why the superstition works.

Maybe they shouldn’t rub one out using the chair as sloppy seconds.

We tried the cheapest stuff Amazon will sell and went back to Powerade Zero.
The next step is trying to build your own electrolyte drink, but that is a recipe for disaster.
Puns aside, I was concerned about giving myself an electrolyte imbalance. I asked the doctor about it and they told me to just eat food, weirdo (sass for dramatic emphasis, but I definitely got the look I give end users when they ask stupid questions).
- Comment on The Struggle 4 weeks ago:
This conversation got me super excited to try it, only to see that it costs 3x as much as Powerade Zero packets. Since we easily chew through a 10pack of packets a week, I can’t bring myself to have her try it.
- Comment on In reference to kitchen wrap (aluminum, paper or plastic), do you prefer to tear up against the lid, or down against the box? 4 weeks ago:
I hate plastic wrap so much. Often it comes down to wrapping the item and then just ripping it because the cutter is gone.
The other items I will use the box in a pinch with no cutter.

I knew a flat Earth believer about ten years ago. I’d estimate hundreds at least.
- Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs? 5 weeks ago:

When the bottoms get moldy and fall off it’s a lack of nutrients. Calcium, mostly.
- Comment on Subtitling a video, what is that noise at the end before they scribble on his face? This time, no tools to cut it out because it sounded distorted 1 month ago:
I thought maybe it was whooshing of the markers, but once I heard snoring I couldn’t hear whooshing any more.

You know what, now that you say it in pretty sure I hear snoring.
- Comment on If someone tells you that communism has led to famines in the USSR and China, that it doesn't have any incentives and that anyone who supports it use products of capitalism, how do you counter this? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure where to go from here. We’d have to build a system where the individuals have more power than the state overall, but the state has enough power to do thinks like protect itself from other countries, care for the vulnerable, provide infrastructure, etc, etc, etc. From what we were taught, this is how the USA was originally built, but the system has been exploited by the wealthy.

Let’s clarify.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930–1933
Are you saying that the famine didn’t happen, that the same famine would have happened regardless of the economic system, or something else?
I’m not against communism, and capitalists can make similar damaging calls.

I think both systems tend to produce oligarchs through different methods. The point isn’t to pick a team and rally them on, rather let’s look at things honestly and consider information hostile to our viewpoints. I think it might be possible to build something better than both.

Yes, I am! Any clue on the domain?

It’s mostly, if not all, up on Paramount Plus, which sucks because the TV app is super slow and they can’t keep track of my watch history.

I took the plunge about 10 years ago. It’s so much easier now.

I BOUGHT 10, then abandoned at 11 because 10 pro OEM converted to home. Home prevents you from running the console snap in tools you need to administer your system.

I’m with you
Teams, modern O365, AD, Azure, etc only sells because its built on Windows.
I can assure you, I’m watching an org entrench themselves deeper into the MS eco to obtain these services. The reasoning is that the systems they have are useless and they believe MS will fix everything.
If MSFT loses the home market, businesses have a high chance of following, especially since their QA process relies exclusively on home users.
There is a 10-15 year delay on this as a user-base from school needs to be developed. This could happen if schools find they can run the software they need on older and older hardware.
All they really need is to reach maybe 10% desktop market share, and MSFT would start facing a slaughter in the coming years as big OEMs start shipping linux from factory.
OEMs were shipping Linux on AMD a bit more than a decade ago. I don’t recall seeing Linux in the wild like that, but I remember the Dell AMD machines ended with a 5.

Open Enterprise Server / Zenworks is one option. It’s actually the predecessor to AD. From my experience it is the most polished option. There are several foss implementations of LDAP, but nothing I’m aware of (or looked for) in the enterprise scale.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
You are completely right. That will be true until Linux is proven to have enough utility and be able to run enough the software end users need. Active directory is killer, but there are alternatives.
It’s a shame Novell is circling the drain, as it does have the ability to manage Windows and Linux machines in a similar network. If Microsoft fucks up hard enough and the opportunity is there, we might see an exodus. European governments are supposedly pioneering this now.
I’m aware this is still incredibly improbable, but the possibility is growing.

Alton showed me a few things and taught me that if I was patient I could figure it out the rest of the way. That was almost 20 years ago. Now I happily share cooking duty with my wife.
I named a dog after him. It didn’t stick, and my daughter named the dog after a kid in class’s little brother, but the through was there.

I guess you can still start building your own modified kernels and software, but it’s not 1994 any more.
