Jesus fucking Christ. I thought The Purge was an idiotic idea. I’m no longer of the same mindset.

Better solution…?!((งツ)ว Give everyone 1 trillion dollars. Then increase income tax well beyond 200% for any income. But Iike the smart version of what I’m trying to describe

I was going in a different direction myself. More in the vane of offering the leopard a second meal

- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 week ago:
You should probably start lieing about that and taint the brand as much as possible. Probably won’t do much but we should all just start saying everywhere that is a great thing because crucial sucked anyways.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 week ago:
No but I do hold onto old electronics because I grew up with my grandparents and they had WW2 wartime rationing mentality about saving everything. Also my grandfather also an incredibly cheap bastards at times too

Not sure that leopards will be having a glorious meal is the appropriate symbolism but feel free to give me a better one

I might upgrade to GabeCube from my current rig i7 6820k from 10 years ago, but still a year or 2 away from replacing this rig.
I also hope my RAM survives. Good luck friend! This rando from Lemmy wishes you the best (if I win a lottery I’ll buy you a new rig!)

I’ve always had shitty luck with Kingston usb drive, just assumed I would have as many problems with their other memory so avoided them. Maybe I shouldn’t have, but I’ve had the same dd4 crucial ballistix ddr4 ram for about 10 years now and have had zero problems with it

… And Sean Kennedy’s listener licence becomes just a little closer to reality.
(I know that no one knows who that is, but Tales From the Afternoon was ironically prophetic and well ahead of it’s time. Unfortunately I’m one of a very few people who knows who he is lol)

I’m also curious now
- Comment on Libraries are cool 2 weeks ago:
Warehouse ops manager here, we call our process scheduled counts & invoice counts.
We have about 25,000 locations for parts. We count a few sections each day for our scheduled counts, and we count the entire place 3 times a year by doing it.
That helps us find and address things that may be misplaced lost or just wrong but that haven’t been an issue for about 4 months.
Alternately we have a process that we used to count every location we picked parts from the day before.
The combination, when done correctly and not just fucking the dog, definately keeps you good.
I’m sad we no longer do the daily counts as it makes bigger problems than being able to check on incorrect orders within a day or 2 and not months later when no body can remember anything.
I might actually like working in a library now that I think about it

I’m have that kind of gay sex with his wife if she’s up for it. I hope the gays cheer me on when we do it too
- Comment on YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg 4 weeks ago:
You need to account for elevation. A lot of recipes get it wrong because people in very different atmospheres of pressure try the same methods without adjusting for that important factor
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 4 weeks ago:
Why are we living like this?
No one is going up to people and offering them a better alternative. Literally that’s it.
On a less flippant note, The people who represent us, care more about the perils who give them money than they do about the needs and wants us the people they are representing.
If you aren’t producing value to pursue who can offer you a better life, then there is no reason for then to offer it to you.
Now add in tradition, culture, religion and a host of other competing morals and opinions, and we have the world of today

- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 5 weeks ago:
Gesticulation has long been a part of public speaker training.
It helps frame your words and your message and also direct meaning in a way that punctuation does in the written word.
As punctuation is to reading, gesticulation is to speaking.
It’s part of body language being part of speaking to someone (a person or an audience) and can help people relate to the speaker.
That particular gesture was famously popularized/lampooned due to Bill Clinton
