the people jumping to conclusions about who I am as a person and as a fan from the one comment.
Like jumping to conclusions about a show you haven’t watched based on one headline?

Well it’s a different show with different writers and she isn’t playing the timid and anxious character she was in early Discovery.
- Comment on YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But some of the best fixes are actually free 4 days ago:
I did two rounds at a chiropractor years ago after injuring my upper back trying to remove a fallen tree (also had sciatica issues for a while previously) and after doing his magic told me to pull my shoulders back and down while squeezing my sides at my elbows to help with the upper back pain, and to hold my leg at a 90 with my ankle resting on my opposite knee while pushing down on the knee of the crossed leg for my lower back/hip joints. Previously, I couldn’t stand in place for more than 20 minutes without severe pressure on my lower back and had numbness in my arm from the upper back injury, but both have completely stopped since then.

It’s not that it’s digital media to blame, it just isn’t something you can replicate very easily with physical media.
- Comment on Just Watched the First Episode of Voyager and I Get the Hype, Regarding Janeway, Now 4 days ago:
We’re about as far away from the 1995 debut of Voyager as it was from the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974.
You’re missing a decade there. Voyager debut to today is about the same length of time as Kirk and Uhura having the first interracial kiss on television in the 1960s to Voyager’s debut in the '90s.

- Comment on 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb': OpenClaw AI chose to 'speedrun' deleting Meta AI safety director's inbox due to a 'rookie error' 5 days ago:
How come some 25yo person is a director at Facebook?
This reminds me of my 25-year-old coworker who was laid off recently. I once had to take him to pickup a scuba suit from Enterprise after he’d forgotten it in the trunk, and about a month later, his bicycle from police impound after he’d chained it to some random businesses door one evening and forgot to come back and get it for several days. He’d also go out late every night and then regularly fall asleep at his desk.
He’s a great guy but I can’t imagine how someone that age becomes director of anything let alone one at a conpany with 75k employees and a market cap of $1.6T.

How would the public find out that this woman’s email inbox got deleted though?

Maybe they want to get this out there as cover if/when some regulator somewhere decides to subpoena records from the AI safety regulator.

- Comment on Why some cities are ditching their Flock license plate readers 6 days ago:
Its a primary offense in Oregon too.
In Florida its actually a misdemeanor to cover the plate with anything. A guy was recently arrested after being pulled over for this in a rental car that had a license plate frame partially obscuring the first ‘S’ in “Sunshine State.”

- Comment on Thoughts about my (potential) first server? 1 week ago:
I’d definitely skip this in favor of something consumer-grade. You can find used Dell Optiplexes all over the place cheap and stick a large drive inside/outside of it and use it for a couple of years.
A big old server is just going to drain your wallet on both power and parts with equal or worse performance and a lot more complexity for what 99% of home users will use it for.
It sounds like your main goal is probably a media server and an Optiplex will give you an i5 or i7 with QuickSync which works excellent for processing video. RAID isnt really necessary here because you can just download more Linux ISOs if these one are lost, though it can be great later if you buy a bunch more drives and expand into other areas where data is less replaceable.
Can’t say on access behind CG-NAT, as I haven’t ever dealt with it, but Tailscale might work as a free third-party option though that’s just a guess.
- Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned 1 week ago:
How about this tidbit from the article you linked in the OP? I’m guessing you didn’t actually read any of it past the headline because it certainly doesn’t say what you seem to think it does. What an intellectually lazy thing to do.
In 2018, the World Health Organization recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition that intrudes detrimentally into an addicted gamer’s sleep, work, education and ability to foster and maintain relationships in real life, while also impacting memory, attention span and stress management.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media addiction hasn’t been officially recognized, Falcione said, “but it’s pretty clear – at least within the literature – that it seems to be transposable to the extent that all the criteria for gaming disorder also apply to a social media or smartphone addiction.”
There are three main criteria, she explained. The first is that the person feels a need to use that media more and more, which can build a tolerance similar to that experienced by drug addicts. Second, she continues, “there’s a salience that it becomes the most prominent thing in your life — it’s what you think about the most, it’s what you want to do the most, and even if you’re not on your phone, you’re thinking about it, craving it and choosing it over other activities that may need your attention.” The third criteria is that its use creates internal conflict or turmoil as it interferes with relationships or obligations to work or school.
“For teens and college students, when you see those grades drop, that’s a big signal that the media use is actually becoming detrimental,” Falcione said.

You mean like OP, who’s clearly having a temper tantrum calling people “fucking idiots” and telling them they need to “leave” if they don’t agree with them, all the while demanding sources from everyone while providing none of their own other than a single editorial written by a college student?
- Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned 1 week ago:
Have you cited a single thing anywhere in this entire post?
- Comment on How come in movies tv shows books etc at court they make it seem like swearing on the bible prevents you from lieing? If my family or I was in danger I would lie my ass off to get out of it.. 1 week ago:
Yes I’ve experienced cops lying in court numerous times along with prosecutors just blatantly making things up. Perjury may be a crime but its rarely enforced especially not against agents of the state.
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 2 weeks ago:
STSA feels like a blend of Lower Decks and Discovery to me. I also had issues with Discovery (though it got better after the time jump) but have been enjoying Academy each week.

This is not uncommon with twin child actors. The Olsen twins in Full House are a famous example
- Comment on Why ‘deleted’ doesn’t mean gone: How police recovered Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell footage 2 weeks ago:
While this case shows recovery is technically possible, it also shows it’s rare, resource-intensive, and reserved for extraordinary circumstances.
How does this show “it’s rare, resource-intensive, and reserved for extraordinary circumstances” when that’s entirely based upon the word of the people doing it?
“Google is notoriously uncooperative with law enforcement; they will comply with search warrants, but in the least helpful way possible and they will fight it,” he says.
Google sent personal and financial information of student journalist to ICE
yahoo.com/…/department-homeland-security-demandin…
“Google has received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account,” it read. The email advised Jon that the “legal process” was an administrative subpoena, issued by DHS. Soon, government agents would arrive at his home.
The subpoena wasn’t approved by any judge, and it didn’t require probable cause. Google gave Jon just seven days to challenge it in federal court — not nearly enough time for someone without a crack team of lawyers on retainer. Even more maddeningly, neither Google nor DHS had sent him a copy of the subpoena itself, leaving Jon and his attorney in the dark.
This article reeks of whitewashing for the government and tech industry.

You can connect an SSD to these boards and boot from that instead of an SD card. Definitely the way to go especially considering SSDs dont really cost more than SD cards.

Don’t forget about COVID-times when they stopped selling to consumers in favor of corporations. Or when they spun the commercial sector of the Raspberry Pi Foundation out into its own for-profit business.
- Comment on Files 3 weeks ago:
It sounds like you’re asking for advice on how to find files that you can print and sell. Legality and ethics of that aside, it all comes down to filling a niche, good timing and tons of luck.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 3 weeks ago:
Excuse the pun but something certainly seems fishy about this post. Surely at some point in their life, OP would have been in a room with women and discovered this wasnt true.
They also keep talking about how this is something they’ve heard and read about but then later say they’ve had to leave the room when a lot of women are around because of the smell lingering.
- Comment on Yunohost, the *arr stack and VPN 3 weeks ago:
I have no familiarity with Yunohost but this is just a matter of separating your services. Have one container with the *arrs, qbit, glutun, and VPN and a separate container with Immich and Nextcloud. I personally use Proxmox with Portainer to run tne containers, but you may be able to just run Portainer on your OS to accomplish the same thing.
