I’m 99% sure it’s an AI generated image. She has TWO soccer ball bags in the original, and one doesn’t even look attached.
- Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded 2 weeks ago:
Exactly what my therapist said when I was talking about drinking less in the new year. She just said, why not just start small now and do smaller beers or different kind of drinks when you go out instead right now? Honestly made too much sense. Kinda wild that I didn’t think about it until then.
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 2 weeks ago:
I love eSIM because one day on the bus I was tired of AT&T speeds being shit in my commute, so I decided to switch carriers. By the time I walked home from the bus, I was done releasing my number and setting up my new eSIM to my new carrier and immediately got faster speeds. It just worked.
I completely understand if you’re changing numbers all the time it could be annoying, but it was just a simple activation for me.
- Comment on “Infinite” scroll not working for others? 2 weeks ago:
Yep. I replied to @TheDude@sh.itjust.works in another thread yesterday. Hopefully it’s just another lemmy update, but this lasted 3 weeks last time. We need an automated system to upgrade. I keep touting sh.itjust.works as a “high uptime server” but degraded uptime isn’t uptime.

Unfortunately it’s happening again. Is there another update pending?
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 2 weeks ago:
Yea, roll back from everyone having free shit and some people paid for stuff to people have nothing even if paid for.
They should just accept that shit’s fucked and let everyone keep everything. It’s fucking bytes and pixels.
- Comment on NVIDIA Puts 100-Hour Monthly Limit on All GeForce NOW Subscriptions 3 weeks ago:
Do you think Dropout will enshitify? It’s one of the best streaming services, and tons of people on the fediverse say it’s the only subscription they have. They raised their prices last year by $1, but let people keep their old price if they stay subscribed.
- Comment on I love Dune! 4 weeks ago:
I dunno… highly depends on the drug. I go to some a music fest in the summer and almost all the people there are the nicest and most caring hippies you’ll meet. Booze is banned, so it’s a different vibe than most music fests, but I think it works out so well.
I feel like in today’s world being caring and nice is close to prophetic because we don’t see enough of it. It really does hit different seeing a ton of strangers look out for each other.
- Comment on How could you do this to me? 1 month ago:
Just make a live boot drive and try it out! Maybe get a little partition setup. I’ve been running Kubuntu for 3 weeks just fine! I am tech savvy though, but most of the things I needed to be savvy at were only because my PC is also my media server. It was less than 1.5 hours to set up gaming and all my window management options and whatnot. And now everything just works.
- Comment on Plant Protection 2 months ago:
We didn’t even formally classify the fungi kingdom until 1969. We still classified it under plantae kingdom.

Yea, not sure if the update has been run yet. We’re still getting the issue of not being able to load page 2. Any ETA on this?

- Comment on Python Foundation rejects $1.5M grant with no-DEI strings 2 months ago:
The Seattle zoo also rejected federal funding with these strings. My wife lost her job because of it. Because it was just for one program and the no-DEI was organization wide…
Apparently the Portland Zoo signed it… No one expected that shit. We both let her parents know that this is because of their vote in another state.

I can confirm it’s just sh.itjust.works. I logged into my lemmy.world account in voyager and can just scroll and scroll.

Chiming in here. It’s affecting me on mobile and website. What is going on? What’s the solution? 3 days for this is too crazy imo.

Not yet! I think she thinks I’m already enough to handle 😂
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 months ago:
Being polyam in Seattle is great. All of my coworkers know I’m poly and just accept it. All the bartenders know too. Makes it easy for them to start the tab.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 months ago:
I’m an outlier because I live in a walkable neighborhood in a city. But I have 10 breweries within walking distance around my house. I know the owners by name for 2 of these breweries and the bartenders know me for 4 of them. I think they all know my dog.
I usually go with my wife and/or girlfriend about 2-4 days a week, but it’s still very much a hang out.
We’re also Friday regulars to a semi-close bar every Friday because I won a free beer/week for a year in a $25 raffle!
- Comment on #environmentalist 2 months ago:
Seattle has commercially compostable plastic straws. They feel pretty much like plastic but are kind of matte. Even the single use forks/knives/spoons from restaurants are like that. But then again we do large scale compost across the city.

- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 2 months ago:
Last night from 12-4am, it was almost every region impacted so it didn’t help that much.
But we do have failovers for customers that they need to activate to just start working in another region.
But our canaries and infrastructure alarms cannot do that since they are for alerts in the region.
- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 2 months ago:
As someone that works at another Amazon AWS dependent org, it also took out us. It was awful. Nothing I could do on my end. Why the fuck didn’t it get rolled back immediately? Why did it go to a second region? Fucking idiots on the big teams side.
I got paged 140 times between 12 and 4 am PDT. Then there was another one where I had to hand it off at 7am because I needed fucking sleep. And they handled it until 1pm. I love my team, but it’s so awful that this even was able to happen. All our our fuck ups take 5-30 mins to roll back or manually intervene. This took them 2+ hours, and it was painful. Then it HAPPENED AGAIN! Like what the fuck.
- Comment on Is airtags really useful? 2 months ago:
I have one on my wallet and it helps my ADHD brain not miss the bus when I misplace my wallet. My AirPods also now have the same thing. And me or my wife can use it on our phones. It helps eliminate a lot of frantic searching.

Take the center of mass at that point. Can’t be 0 because atoms have widths.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 4 months ago:
I’m lucky enough that when my company started enforcing 5 days a week, they don’t enforce hours. I usually wake up for my first meeting then shower/get ready after, then commute. They give me free public transit, so I take the bus every time too. Plus I can bring my dog in, and I get a free nice coffee (lattes, tea, matcha, etc). Then I’ll leave the office about 3/4pm and WFH if needed.

I grew up in the center of Mississippi. I always called it “the devil is beating his wife”. Idk why it was ever called that because there was no story; it’s just how it is.

You can buy nitrous ANYWHERE, so I wouldn’t blame TikTok for that.
