- Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance? 2 days ago:
So the only possible definition left is that an assassination is a killing that serves an end instead of being the end itself.
So every murder of a parent or spouse to get inheritance or insurance money is an assassination? That seems a bit to broad.
Also I can think if like a dozen possible other definitions that have not been ruled out.

Plankton does contain animals.
- Comment on if hate is categorically bad, then any sort of negativity is also bad. Even the word bad is bad. Being anti-hate actually has drawbacks 2 days ago:
if hate is categorically bad
Well, it’s not.

It’s a bunch of programs to setup automated torrenting. No idea what it has to do with setting up jellyfin, though.

they’re a German company
Unless there is a town called “German” in California, they are not.

Even is plex is “bad” now … it’s still way ahead of jellyfin.

You do know they have limited write cycles, right?
If you ever reach that limit, well done. You got a hell of value out of that device.
I have SSDs that are in use 24/7, writing up to 200GB per day and in constant use for 3 years. 99% drive health.
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 week ago:
I just find them incredibly handy as a means of quick and easy data transfer without pissing around with network shares.
Yep, that is why I have one on my key chain. But there is really no need to have more than that.
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 week ago:
I guess the storage space of the box isn’t an issue there is no acute reason to throw them way … but feels like hoarding. I see no good reason to keep them.
They are not reliable long-term storage. Any file that I want to retain long term goes on a redundant disk array with data scrubbing and a proper backup.
But even if I were to store something temporarily on an USB stick, I’d just use my single 512GB stick (which costs $40 these days) instead of having to potentially plug in dozens or hundreds of low capacity sticks.

Most people seem to have a pretty bad sense of touch.
During certain times of years you get a lot of single spider-silk threads flying around and I constantly walk into them. But almost no one else seems to notice them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
They get hundreds of millions in donations, 99% of that it just enriches the owners, not to run the site
is that the result of your “do your own research”? Because it took me less then 5 minutes to conclude that this is totally false.
63% of their operation costs are salaries of their 700 employees.
So your claim is pure bullshit.
- Comment on Most people don't have boxes of USB flash drives sitting around 1 week ago:
Well yeah, because why would you need boxed of them?
I have 512GB on my key chain.

Insects are irresistibly stimulating and endlessly captivating for cats
My cat has around 30 - 60 mins a day where he might be in a playful mood and hunt some flies. But the rest of the day he’ll just lie around and won’t care even if they fly lands on him.
Humans are nowhere near that level of discipline when it comes to Instagram.

Unless you showered with a book on botany and just found it out there, that’s not a shower thought. Just a fun fact you knew about already.

Basically, they have a decent venom, but their fangs are quite bad at penetrating most kinds of skin…
That is a myth. They are absolutely capable of biting humans, their venom however is nothing special.
