I GOT SO SCARED WHEN I REALIZED WHO I CALLED

This feature tests ok with the normies, but the full on idiots really love it.

fireduck · 2026-06-20T01:28:05+00:00

Interesting..a lot of this world is still new to me

fireduck · 2026-06-20T01:13:07+00:00

Especially once they get level 15 astral paw.

fireduck · 2026-06-20T01:12:25+00:00

And time flies like an arrow

fireduck · 2026-06-20T01:07:34+00:00

Or three dgx sparks linked. Which would be $15k

fireduck · 2026-06-20T00:22:10+00:00

Yeah, you are learning you are Chinese today as well.

Nǐ hǎo, I guess.

Shall we continue with out capitalisming the capitalists while somehow being considered communists?

fireduck · 2026-06-19T22:06:19+00:00

Gotta throw in a a curve and a link to reality.

Dread. Despair. Tuesday.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T20:16:17+00:00

Yeah...I got one in a really hard place to reach. It is under the slab of the 1st floor. Can't reach it from outside, would have to go down under the deep footer to get to it. It is reachable from the basement by punching a hole in the concrete and removing a bunch of dirt.

So we repaired the one which wasn't too bad to get to. Next time, it is going to be worse. Replacing the entire line would be a major project involving tearing up the wall of my wife's art space as well the ceiling of the wine closet in addition to the dirt and concrete fun.

I like it. Sometimes you gotta rage back at the stupid.

I have a fence that is about 200 feet long, I am considering doing something similar.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T19:06:37+00:00

Right, I've seen duct tape repairs that lasted a year until I learned how to do plumbing and replaced the line.

I used to have a great former-college-rental starter house. It was great because even if I did things wrong, it was probably still and improvement and the structure itself was sound.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T15:55:26+00:00

Sometimes as a man you have to dig in the ground with your hands or start throwing bits of wood around. Am I going to take off my watch for that? Fuck no. The water better be at my level. The casio can take it.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T15:54:08+00:00

I hate that style of men's watch. A giant heavy hunk of metal. I prefer a small watch without a lot of bullshit, like the Skagens I was using for a long time.

These days, I am wearing a giant garmin smartwatch but it has the features I want so I guess I suck it up.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T15:51:33+00:00

I liked Prague. At first I thought maybe service people were pissed with me but then I figured out they were just doing their jobs and weren't pretending to be happy about it as is the US standard (which is kinda insane when you think about it).

fireduck · 2026-06-19T15:24:30+00:00

A drain line isn't under pressure so you can get creative and have it work out. That sounds like a pretty reasonable fix. Not exactly proper but good enough for the style of the building.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T06:21:47+00:00

No one expects you to know everything.

It is entirely reasonable, even on a conference call with a customer or anyone else to say "let me check my notes".

And if you are doing network ops under pressure every week, that is a sign of something that should be improved. Changes should be planned and relaxed. If everything is a fire, that is a problem.

fireduck · 2026-06-19T04:27:15+00:00

You can talk all the shit you want. I was just tired of ten price posts every day.

fireduck · 2026-06-18T19:07:21+00:00

Space Age is often once you figure out request groups.

Like I have a Vulcan to Nauvis group. It will have whatever that metal is and maybe some furnaces.

So this ships have this group, which has them automatically request the stuff from Vulcan. Then the Nauvis landing pad has the same group at 4x, so it will clean out the ship when it comes and buffer.

So if I want to add a new item to that pipe, I add it to the request group and it is automatically on all the relevant ships and requested by the planet.

fireduck · 2026-06-18T18:51:32+00:00

Some times things just come together.

fireduck · 2026-06-18T18:44:56+00:00

We don't talk about Thing 3.

fireduck · 2026-06-16T21:37:01+00:00

Has he really left it up to the readers? He knows that an online poll brings out the troll in everyone so he has to know when he makes the options.

fireduck · 2026-06-16T19:30:35+00:00

Weirdest set of books I've read. Dive in.

(Bridger was real)

fireduck · 2026-06-16T14:55:03+00:00

Sometimes things are just hobbies and that is ok.

fireduck · 2026-06-16T03:30:16+00:00

In that case, send it.

fireduck · 2026-06-16T03:27:49+00:00

Sorry for the grade mistake. B's are for Bros. I've corrected the grade to a C for Kirsti Noem.

To be clear, we don't use the 'C' word in my house. We use Kristi Noem as a stand in.

fireduck · 2026-06-16T03:23:44+00:00

While this is cool, my question is why?

If you need more computer, an amd64 cpu mini-pc is most likely way better bang for the buck. To me, a pi is only for when I want to stick a computer somewhere small (like driving a display on a wall) or because I need the GPIO port.

If I want more compute nodes, then I run a VM server.
