I actually wanted to look this up. This is an interesting article - https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-evolution-of-alexey-navalnys-nationalism

“He has never apologized for his earliest xenophobic videos or his decision to attend the Russian March. At the same time, he has adopted increasingly left-leaning economic positions and has come out in support of the right to same-sex marriage. This strategy of adopting new positions—without ever explicitly denouncing old ones—is probably the reason the suspicion of ethno-nationalism continues to shadow Navalny.”

I personally don’t have really have opinion either way but was curious.

Hercules returns is a hidden gem

“He looks like a condom full of walnuts!” "He wouldn’t notice if someone was up him with an arm full of deck chairs

“And we thought fuck that. Too hard.”

They use their own kernel but a lot of the userland is FreeBSD-based (and some senior FreeBSD contributers are also Apple employees)

I occasionally do this too. For me it’s when my internal voice starts turning to the “dark side” and ruminating on stupid shit, I start feeling overwhelmed etc etc.

Ergh, I have been on seroquel. It did not work for me (and it didn’t help my arsehat psychiatrist just kept upping the dose when I said it wasn’t helping, then would up the antidepressants when I started feeling numb from the seroquel.)

Never again…

I’ve known quite a few people/groups that are poly and I dated someone who was poly for a while too. I did it because I didn’t feel like I had to deal with 100% of my partner because that would have crushed me.

My info is purely anecdotal but two super common threads that kept on appearing is there were people who were poly, but were never actually poly and just said it because their partner wanted to be so they said they were too and that the people who were super committed to poly all were trying to fill a gap in their lives and had a lot of insecurities in general.

Most hated the idea of ever being alone, not just in ‘a relationship’ but actually just being by themselves.

“Basically Apple created” is a bit reductionist. The USB-IF also includes Microsoft, HP, Intel and Texas Instruments amongst a couple of others (can’t recall them off the top of my head).

Also Thunderbolt was created by both Intel and Apple in collaboration…

I once worked with a team who would have useful tests like (it’s been years since I used Jasmine so not going to try), but things like if true === true.

Yeah thanks dipshit.

The mid-range at the time for AMD re: motherboard or CPU wasn’t spectacular, and I wanted dual Intel GBE on the motherboard, otherwise I totally would have (my actual desktop machine is AMD)

Was that me?

If so I moved to low power i5s and run super cool and quiet without any loss of functionality or slowdowns. And my energy bill is much more pleasant now! A few generations of CPUs and it’s worth just replacing old gear if you can, especially enterprise stuff.

As someone with a dual Opteron 6386SE sitting in a closet somewhere with 512GB of RAM… It was fun for a few weeks until I saw my energy bill. Was great in winter though as I didn’t need a heater on… Ever.

The pros of working in a tech company where they decommission shit and just ask who wants it

That does kinda scream “I would be happy to kill all humans but don’t want to say it…”

It’s kinda like:

“Are you a nazi?”

“It might be time to move onto a new topic.”

“That’s not a no…”

But Art3mis in the real world has a port-wine stain so she’s ugly! Can’t you see how disgusting she looks?!

I do around 7-8.5 hours. But some of that is just socialising/chatting with people (I’m in software dev management). Lots of “Sooo… What’s your perception of what’s going on?” “Things going OK?” “Who do I need to talk to to smooth things over?” kinda stuff (the soft skills side of things). It is super rare to go above that unless there’s an incident of some type or something goes totally pear shaped.

I used to do 10+ last job and despised it. Took a step down in pay for this role but so much less stress. Day ends, I log off and detach from it all.

Edit: Put per week, not per day…

I took the last week and a half off from work and was happy to see when I finally checked my emails (bored at the airport) it didn’t look like anything went to shit! Was nice to get away for a bit, and need to do it more often but tend to procrastinate for stupid reasons…

Also supposed to go on a second date tomorrow to a gig but we’ll see if that actually happens or she got bored and moved on while I was on holidays.

But in a good mood. Just got home a couple of hours ago and doing some cleanup/chores.

It’s been a while since I’ve actually felt ‘happy’ vs ‘anhedonic’.

I was wondering if this was Australia. I’ve heard of issues with smart meters and the issue is annoyingly complex as the information they get from the AEMO isn’t always correct.

Isn’t there currently a huge shit fight about Disney+ removing shows that aren’t available anywhere else and will never be released on physical media too?

Is it just me or is the second picture Lone Starr flying/driving Eagle 5 in Spaceballs…
