This album/song came a few years later in '02, but I think it still fits here.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 1 week ago:
This is true, but also there’s no way this wouldn’t have been reported rather quick, like not just online but within 5min someone would have been all:
“Oi 999? The bridge on Crumpet Lane 'as fallen down, I can’t get to me Chippy!”
Or
“Oi wot was that loud bang outside me flat?! Made me spill me vindaloo! Holy Smeg the bridge collapsed!”
Or like isn’t the UK the most surveiled country with their camera system? Is this bridge not on camera already? For that the AI telling location would probably be handy too I’d just be surprised they don’t have it on security cams.

The real trick is the bologna grilled cheese. Brown the bologna in your skillet, then (wipe out skillet if need be, and) make a grilled cheese as usual, but put the bologna in the middle before you close it.

And sometimes we will totally come back to that later, maybe, one day. And so it stays forever.

There’s a smile on the flea, on the fly, on the wart, on the frog, on the bump, on the log, in the hole in the bottom of the sea.
This is the second “hole in the bottom of the sea” reference I’ve made on lemmy in as many months, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Ah well that’s good, at least there appears to be some options.
I’ve heard of clandestine labs making patented insulin and selling it cheap too, and I’m all for a good grey market.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Ah, so you’d need to know your dosage for that type beforehand, and if you didn’t know it you can’t just wing it. Still though, might be beneficial to know that for emergencies like this because it sounds preferable to certain death.
There should be a little chart your doc gives you at diagnosis (or something, spitballing here) that lays out the dosages you’d need for X, Y, and Z brands so that if say you use X and they’re out (or your kid freezes it or something) you can just consult the dosage chart and get Y for now.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Is there any reason a diabetic has to get the newer patented formulas instead of the old one that the pic talks about which is regularly sold for around $25 a vial in the US without insurance?
I know the new stuff works faster and you don’t have to worry about your diet as much so I’m sure it’s much easier, but why would you have to die instead of just managing your diet and using the $25 stuff for a month in this emergency situation?
Don’t get me wrong all medicine should be free and stuff but like, why die instead of switching to the cheap stuff and dietary management for a month?

Wait, I’ve been on fedora for a few years now and never noticed any ffmpeg problems, am I missing something? Maybe I ran the command at install and forgot, but I don’t remember that being one of the things I did on set-up.
- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 4 weeks ago:
First guy on the list:
Matvei Petrovich Bronstein was the son of a doctor and was of Jewish descent…
In August 1937, while he was living in his apartment at 38 Rubinstein Street, St. Petersburg, Bronstein was arrested after having had his legs broken by his captors as part of the Great Purge.
He was convicted by a list trial in February 1938 and, executed the same day in the basement of the Leningrad NKVD prison. The exact reason for his arrest remains unknown, and contrary to some claims, he was not related to Leon Trotsky.
Yeeeeeaaaaah I can see the “nazi” part but it’s the NKVD not the Jewish theoretical physicist.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind if I could use my flipper for it, but the big issue is “if flipper break get fucked.” I can back up my .kdbx file in 14 luks encrypted locations, I can’t backup a whole ass flipper as easily.

Speaking of fires, what time does that store close and the people leave?
More than one way to skin a building.
- Comment on At this SF grocery store, you can't leave unless you buy something 5 weeks ago:
You cannot stop me, that’s false imprisonment and you have no authority in this jurisdiction. I will be leaving, or I will be pressing charges. Your choice. That’s not even close to enough for reasonable suspicion (which is debatably actionable anyway in most circumstances).

LOL wearing condoms is copium now? Have fun with your STDs!
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 1 month ago:
I mean, I understand where you’re coming from, they absolutely shouldn’t log IPs. BUT, if you’re committing crimes or even doing legal things the government doesn’t like, it would behoove you to put in the absolute bare minimum of OPSEC at least.
Like, some people know they have STDs and don’t warn people and spread them, right? And while the spreader is obviously the problem there, some commonly accepted advice to the victim is “you should have worn a condom anyway.” And they should have worn a condom to protect themselves (and also the spreader should be held liable.)
Like the previous example, anyone using any online service (for secrety things) should know to put a VPN condom on before they put their data inside that sexy, slutty server rack. And like how contraceptives were that knowledge needs to be spread.

- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 1 month ago:
Tbh I agree with them on that, bans don’t work.
But also I say the same to them regarding the ones they do want. Just because they’re hypocrites doesn’t mean I have to be!
Ban bans lol.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 1 month ago:
I’m willing to bet that, since that happened right as onlyfans took off, most of the amateurs were already looking to onlyfans as a way to monetize their hobby. Surely “no amateur content” on pornhub likely pushed them more to it but I think it was really inevitable with all that, and the affordability of decent camera equipment I’m sure helped.
That said, I’m fairly certain that you can still have “amateur” content on PH you just need to verify it as you somehow, and then there’s always xhamster, erome, and m*****less (iykyk, and if not, leave it that way) and a myriad of other sketchy as fuck sites that don’t care the source of their videos.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 1 month ago:
As you’ve accurately identified, they can’t. Best they have is say “nooo you can’t” and hope sites comply out of pure fear. Even if they could, VPN.
They also completely bungled prohibition, drug prohibition, and the states with restrictive gun laws are bungling that. And women from the anti abortion states can still get out of state abortions.
Bans don’t actually work, especially when there’s already an abundance and the banned thing in question is easy to produce.
