  Haha, I chuckled

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there anything I can do to decrease the gap in my blinds?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  A more complete picture would help, but my approach would be to move the blinds closer together, then fill any exposure that then occurs on the perimeter with something the same shade as either the wall or the blinds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help making a table more movable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My experience with the furniture slides is while they’re great on carpet, on hard surfaces they will hold onto anything hard (like a grain of sand/a seed) and then drag that along the floor, marring it.

  Thick felt is the answer, and it’s a wear item. But it should easily last a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried living entirely on IPv6 for a day, and here's what happened⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It boils down to cost: who’s going to do all the engineering work to re-IP a business, and that without considering lost productivity.

  6 is great for the backbone, to relieve the pressure on IPv4. But I have zero need of v6 inside my flat network with a handful of machines.

  You get the upvote for shaving the pubes of a bear

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questioning the Corporation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  May soon eclipse public control

  Got some news for you… Maybe read up on the East India Company circa 1700 or so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you put a "s" in front of the "sh" in chivalry, they turn into a "k" like in schism⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It does? How do you figure?

  That would just be a miss-spelling of chivalry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you put a "s" in front of the "sh" in chivalry, they turn into a "k" like in schism⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You act like language is planned (other than Esperanto).

  No language is consistent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahahahahaha, that’s some funny shit right there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no logical difference?

  My particular health risks would beg to differ.

  There’s differences, but basiing your ooi ion of someone on their race (bigotry and racism) is “philistine, backward thinking”.

  Lol, OK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Snikket seems to be the “best” XMPP client for iOS. It’s worked well for me, and I found from a recommendation by my XMPP host.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a BMP picture that was common on Windows 3.1(1) (woman wearing hat)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, I don’t remember this at all.

  I’ll have to dig out my old Windows cds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Expectancy is the age at which 50% of the of the population is expected to die before.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, when most people say average, they mean mean. Few people I’ve met know the other concepts even exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future is NOT Self-Hosted, but Self-Sovereign⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As if calendar systems currently interop easily, haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When it comes to food, my dog is like a tow truck driver.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep.

  I have some acquaintances that raved about the movie. I finally read the story and could only think how terrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What were the original antiperspirants before modern day ones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t Versailles have garderobes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Small claims is a huge part of this.

  Large Corp will simply lose, and while it’s little money to them, the publicity around it would hurt.

  Plus once one person does it, others can follow the same model. Before long they have small claims losses all over the place.

  Now, collecting on a small claims judgement is another issue. A corporation can dodge it for decades. So it’s not about paying the claim, it’s the publicity around it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men buy cars when all they would really need is cry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Car /= huge truck

  Also, there are many trucks that aren’t huge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men buy cars when all they would really need is cry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So, rent a truck every day? That makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like me.

  I have lots of stuff.

  My media files get replicated to my friends and family - that serves as “backup” for media, since it doesn’t change the multiple copies works as backup. That’s about 3TB.

  My other files (software, user data, phone files, etc) are in a proper backup process which is replicated to those other devices. Backup is compressed, and there’s a lot of duplicate files so it really works.

  My total storage use is about 5TB, with perhaps 1TB changing in a given month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look for the mini pc’s that can hold a single (large capacity) drive.

  Since you’re going to be replicating (and I assume actual backups), you don’t need multi-drive systems at each location unless you need more than about 12TB of storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, yes, stoop to sexism and attacking the commenter’s character, that’s really convincing.

  This is also known as sophistry - an argumentation tactic, which means you aren’t interested in the truth, just winning an argument. You should become a lawyer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care who is accused - I refuse to convict anyone on anything just from an accusation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then use that evidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So, you’re saying don’t believe them? Because if you believe them, then the accused is guilty, end of story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I said neither of the above. Don’t out words in my mouth.

  People are falsely accused of crimes all the time, which is why the legal system requires evidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, yes, ye Olde “just believe them” attitude.

  No one would ever lie for personal gain, right?

  I don’t “believe” claims that have significant impact - that requires evidence. Which is the basis of our legal system.

  Just wait till you’ve been wrongfully accused about something and have to stand before a judge. It’s no fun, and you’ll be grateful then that evidence is required.
