So to be clear: there is no correlation between weed use and hotdog use, other than that they’re both in decline. This means that they created this graph showing two unrelated datasets for no reason other than that they could. Or, maybe, because they wanted to use the cursed image of a spliff in a hotdog bun.

IF the phone can output enough power with it’s OTG port AND has the correct drivers for that cheap-ass looking USB framebuffer graphics thing AND that’s an active HDMI to VGA adapter rather than some shitty vendor-specific implementation based on some unholy bastardisation AND the phone supports external displays… then I still don’t think it’d work, tbh (but it won’t (it might though (it won’t))).

Every military in the world uses UTC so I’m gonna say that.
Otherwise, I’d go for UTC-1 because… well, look at it. There’s no way they could lose because there’s nothing there to lose. Nuke away, boyos, it’s all ocean.

Anyone else remember the B3ta newsletter? I mean, it’s still going, but still. Anyway, they ran a competition for a long time to get the work “bumsexual” printed in a newspaper. Not sure if anyone succeeded.

Yeah, me too. Two VPSs (one Helsinki, the other Nuremberg) each with a couple of IPs. Been running perfectly for years aside from when I fuck them up.

Not quite fully vertical, but I got a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse ten years ago and it was an overnight improvement. I fear the day it finally gives up the ghost.

The squat toilet is for pooping what the urinal is for wee. If you have really baggy trousers you don’t even need to undo your belt.

I didn’t know what Dimmu Borgir is but since were talking about food I have now convinced myself it’s a Middle Eastern take on the cheeseburger and I will not be told otherwise.

- Comment on Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know if you’re asking seriously, but if you are the answer is: Enterprise manageability and accountability. There’s a reason why every hospital, Fortune 500 corporate campus, military base, supermarket, distribution centre, etc, etc all run Windows workstations. Why would a ruthlessley profit-driven corporation buy expensive Windows licenses when Ubuntu is free? Because when you’re dealing with ten thousand workstation in 150 countries, each with own requirements for data protection, working time, employee rights, etc that not only need enforcing, but need to be audited, you can do all that with a single Windows server and a half-motivated sysadmin. And for everyone smaller than that, you still get access to those same tools for your school, office, factory, whatever on your fleet of twenty mismatched laptops from eight different vendors.
Nothing else comes close, and until it does nothing will change. They would all drop Windows in an instant if there was a sensible alternative.

Smart Character 1: “This waterfall provides fresh water for drinking and farming, a plentiful source of energy, ideal fishing grounds, and camouflages us from the predators senses such that we can talk and act freely.” Smart Character 2: “We must not live here.” Smart Character 1: “Of course not.”

- Comment on A conundrum 4 weeks ago:
Most countries have fixed-rate mortgages. Most rental properties are also mortgaged. So a renter is paying for maintenance/insurance/tax costs, the landlord’s profits margin and the landlord’s mortgage.
- Comment on A conundrum 4 weeks ago:
Mortgage payments are almost universally lower than rent payments. With rent, you’re paying for upkeep, maintenance, administration, a profit margin and the landlord’s mortgage.
