  Lemmy has generally had several kicks of revivnig old memes and old meme formats. A few months ago folks were doing the beans thing from several years ago, I’ve seen folks trying to bring advice animals and demotivational posters back, etc.

  My first thought was that the pacing and humor was perfectly on-point for the Onion so it makes perfect sense that that’s where it came from

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awooga⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Patient grew from B size to GGG

  For anyone who isn’t so cooked to go “hehe big boobs” that’s absolutely terrifying amount of growth. DD is quite large to begin with but probably about the limit for avoiding back and other problems. Also finding sexy bras for even just DDs is hard enough I can’t imagine the cost and challenge of finding specialty bras for triple-G

  I don’t think you’re being creative enough!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the dumbest part of it all is that pirates seriously get the best movie/TV experience of anyone. I mean, maybe if you spend a shitton on DVD and BluRays to rip you can match that experience, but even that can be legally dubious depending on the jurisdiction

  I’ll take a pair of rubber feet too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal genres⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’ve focused more on finding stuff I like, and that happens to primarily be punk music. But there’s a lot of stuff I like and really the only genres that I can’t do are country (it’s just nails on chalkboard for me) and pop (because it’s too over-engineered)

  My wife and my oldest enjoy some pop music and I can find the parts I enjoy but it has to be small doses and has to be something with a hint of actual creativity and soul to it

  Howard Jones is an incredible vocalist. Have you heard his (not so new anymore) new band Light the Torch?

  I remember seeing something about fitting ACs for carbon capture. What ever happened with that?

  bet there’s a mobile version of Scratch they could use if they can’t read yet

  And for older kids apple made a scratch-like game for teaching their Swift programming language!

  Scratch also works entirely in the web browser

  I mean it’s all licensed by the frequency and antenna transmit power, so long distance is possible with the right choice of protocol, antenna and frequency you can get a surprisingly long distance with unlicensed spectrum. Ubiquity makes some directional antenna for wirelessly connecting 2 sites that operate in the 2.4 and 5ghz ranges that can connect over distances of multiple kilometers

  Flash drives of banned foreign films are the one method of accessing foreign media that north Koreans realistically have. It’s extremely hard to prevent people plugging a flash drive into their computer in their home to view some media

  Wait you mean your organization doesn’t use some ludicrously expensive hosted database solution or 3 to aggregate data then instead of natively working with the data in that database it gets exported and transformed on a local machine which may or may not havd backups then ask the database people about weird data quirks coming from the local transformations performed on the data

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I need to sit down and actually watch Red Dwarf sometime. Like I did once watch the first few episodes when I was a teenager but I was way too young to fully appreciate it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One week is plenty of time to stay up late and crank out a half-assed dissertation that might even pass you.

  Alternatively, if there’s more needed than just a good essay and presentation, go talk to a guidance councilor or your prof or something. You’ve got time to save your degree that you’ve been working towards!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Office 366 requires an account to validate the license. Potentially it might work differently for the long term licensed versions (which features released to O365 now wouldn’t reach until the next LTSC release), but I’ve not performed the initial install and licensing of those for clients yet

  Or for home users who aren’t already invested in a Microsoft ecosystem your best bet is to just use Libre Office

  Is there a good guide to passing cookies to yt-dlp? Its one of those things I’ve been meaning to learn but never quite got around to yet…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not stealing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My first kid was a perfect baby, she’d sleep 10 hours straight, she was quiet and never bratty…Then we had our second, an autistic boy with the energy of a thousand suns.

  My experience has been similar, except they absolutely rile eachother up, and when separated they’re both incredible quiet and chill. One of their grandparents refuses to take my youngest overnight but begs for sleepovers regularly with my oldest. We try to make it special for my youngest by doing stuff we don’t normally do on those nights (and we try to arrange outings with just the youngest too to make it as fair as we can), but it is really shocking just how quiet and reserved both are without the other to encourage them to cause chaos

  Don’t forget the released CO2 while it cures too! Humanity really needs to use a lot less concrete

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best Practice Ideas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Once you have stuff running on an old computer you’ll get to know what you actually need and can spend your money more intelligently. If you do buy anything, buy an ~8 year old corporate desktop. They’re cheap as chips because they’re close to ewaste, but 4/6th Gen Intel systems have enough performance to really do a ton with in the homelab scene

  Wow lighten up. I throw a joke theory out there based on unix timestamps and that’s you’re takeaway?

  Why do you have to intentionally try to ruin a bit of fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes more sense than this shit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the (joke) theory that the world was created Jan 1st 1970 and every memory or artifact from before that point is simulated history, since that explains the gradually increasing insanity that’s been building up since

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes more sense than this shit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  have FTL travel…yet have mysteriously lost the arcane technology known as “email”

  To be fair, you do realize how many meetings happen today that could have been emails. That’s just the interstellar social equivalent

  I’m honestly not shocked at all. My 5 year old who gets extremely limited exposure to YouTube has already said that she wants to make gaming videos for a living (she also regularly says she wants to work at her favorite fast food restaurant, so I guess I’ll take it haha)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like diaper aged kids, so they bump into things all the time and will cry for 30 seconds because it was scary then forget that anything happened and be fine. You should see the way my 3 year old will run full tilt directly into things sometimes!

  To quote my parent’s favorite Cosby quote “all children have brain damage!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half the time I have to check with my wife what cares were done recently when my nonverbal kid gets fussy to try to identify why they’re fussy. Logging makes it so instead of asking one can check the log, especially useful if the previous care person isn’t available to be asked now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which way?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Being barefoot (specifically not even wearing socks) for some of the day actually made a noticable improvement on a few funky things about my feet that bothered me. So maybe those weird toe shoe people were onto something after all…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tried naming the states from memory as a European⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean the Great Lakes are truly inland freshwater oceans with tides, imense international shipping, famous shipwrecks, forgotten shipwrecks, folk songs about famous shipwrecks and even piracy

  So the term “great lakes” clearly communicates that these are lakes (freshwater, not hydrologically connected to the ocean) but also that these are notable lakes as the “great” indicates the size, notability and gives a sense of wonder
