  Great to know. I don’t know if 106% of CPU is good or bad, but it is not what I had anticipated. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I self hosted a World of Warcraft server.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  While I have heard of people doing this a decade, I have never looked into it.

  How was the install and setup process? How is the resource consumption of the server? At one point it seemed one had to supply their own quests. Are there open source quests available? Anything cool I didn’t ask about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can it take months to get over being laid off?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Greif and loss. The first year is the worst.

  Might be time to focus on processing the loss of your previous hopes, dreams, relationships, and projects.

  Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.

  But also Johnson is stupid.

  The site wants to share info with advertisers. I found this to be refreshingly honest.

  Anyway, can we get an archive link?

  Trent the milk guzzler arrives at 6 and drinks it all.

  Fuck you Trent!

  New interview question: “please show me the inside of the common refrigerator.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally paid off my Costco hotdog 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the day, one could get a credit history by being listed as an authorized user on someone elses card. One never needed physical possession of the card, nor needed to use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally paid off my Costco hotdog 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tge issues with TLS is that they overlap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are evangelical thought leaders that preach the opposite. They say liberals are wrong about all of that.

  And people believe up is down.

  Date 2015. I hope you are free now. (Also fake)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Putin declares ‘all of Ukraine is ours’ in latest blow to peace talks - and hints at nuclear threat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some are saying those nextin line behind Putin are worse.

  Worse in which ways? More violent.

  Worseand able to get things done in a national context? Hard to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The USA was securing international trade lines. After WW2, they started doing it to counter communism and build friendships. (Cannot attack your trading partners.)

  This was not entirely popular with Americans, see “Team America: World Police”.

  Another country or coalition could step up. Just build a navy that rivals the USA one to secure shipping lanes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nation level retaliation would ensue. Maybe possible to do in some country matchups, but not possible in all.

  I guess this is a good way to spread the techniques to others…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there Designs for Kiddie Pool Water Filters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Will do, thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there Designs for Kiddie Pool Water Filters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, thanks for some names of items!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there Designs for Kiddie Pool Water Filters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. I have heard that the chemicals are nearly impossible to dose correctly in smaller volumes.

  Elsewhere some have suggested aquarium filters…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there Designs for Kiddie Pool Water Filters?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I will likely continue watering the plans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The water in some USA cities does taste terrible. Some rural and city water is unsafe to drink. Grow up in one of those places, and one may hate it.

  These things really fuck with nude sunbathing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Strongly filter and limit the news you consumes. Do not spend hours watching or keeping up on it.

  Do prepare yourself and your chosen community. Build relationships. Fix your life, body, finances. Get as ready as you can to catch yourself and those falling.

  Do get into a group that tells you when local events are happening.

  Do find joy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Foreign Office staff told to consider resigning after challenging UK policy on Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The reply did not address the substantive complaints by staff.

  We’ve changed nothing, but your leaving has mildly put us out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure exactly what they are selling⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is up with the storefront? A statue holding a sign and a man behind bars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes! Sadly, at least as near as I can figure, this is on purpose.

  People with disposable income can organize businesses, demonstrations, and communities. They may threaten the status quo.

  People that must work daily to not starve cannot organize anything. They may not even know their neighbours. They are exposed and vulnerable.

  Remember how in the early 2000’s, it seemed we were on the cusp of a great turning point? More people, not nearly all people, had access to good paying jobs and disposable income? It seemed progress may finally start. Then 2008 wiped many people out. The new wealth was concentrated. (I am leaving a lot out.)

  Anyway, there are not as many people that can organize as one may assume. There will not be until fewer people are financially vulnerable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “Apple” part. CEOs only care what companies say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Girl power!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t think Leia poops her pants. She was calm and cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Feel free to organize one.

  Then you will have insight into why there are few. Or you will kick off a whole thing.

  Organizing things is hard. I am sure there are lots of reasons.
