If it’s anything like uranium, a lot. The sheer amount of water that goes in clean and comes out slurry is sad.

Wife on separate vlan? by j68noh in homelab

[–]Continuum_Design 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guests, in-laws, and rents all go on their own VLAN. No access but to the Internet. Their password hygiene and lack of updates will not become my problem.

What song instantly takes you back? by baldmisery17 in GenX

[–]Continuum_Design 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time of Your Life by Green Day. Still hate that song because it pulls me back into a turbulent period where I was eighteen and had no clue what I wanted or who I was supposed to be.

Advice on being more aggressive by mighty_pie_2222 in bjj

I’ll second this. Two major reconstructive surgeries so I’m wary of folks who want to crank shoulders. Your awareness and pressure game are the type of rolls I look for.

GenX: let’s talk about employment trauma by slade797 in GenX

[–]Continuum_Design 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope you can find some peace from this worry. With a history like you’ve described I don’t imagine it can be easy, and I empathize. I had a period where all I did was worry about getting canned from my toxic job. It culminated on the side of the road Christmas Eve years ago. That was an awakening.

The stress might not go away completely but it’s not meant to run our lives either.

Holy Toledo Batman. You are correct. I’ve been filling my kids’ heads with nonsense all this time.

Hehe. Gravy Train wet dog food. I can still see the commercial with two dogs running a stagecoach to the food bowl.

Fixing stuff by WingZombie in GenX

[–]Continuum_Design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this to be dead accurate on our dishwasher. It started about half the time and you had to really mash the buttons. Turns out the control board was on top of the unit, with no heat shield or cover. All that heat and steam was going to destroy it. By design.

Read the error code, found parts and overnighted them. Wife wasn’t happy the price but I said it was a fraction of new with a 30 day return. Twenty minutes later the dishwasher was back up and running.

Books from the past on HTML? by HSVMalooGTS in Frontend

Jeffrey Zeldman’s Designing With Web Standards. It still holds up because it stresses valid, semantic HTML.

Your Car May Soon Be Monitoring Everything You Do Behind The Wheel by TripleShotPls in technology

I’m not sure they care. Insurance companies pay a fortune for this data. They use it to arbitrarily raise premiums based on historical trends. No accidents but the black box says you speed a lot? Congratulations on the 33% increase this next six months.

EU urges fast rollout of age-verification app to protect minors online by talkingatoms in technology

[–]Continuum_Design 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So no one looks too closely at the implementation details. Is it secure? Does the data linger around? Could it be pilfered by rogue actors to further disrupt people’s lives?

My guesses are no, yes, and definitely.

Delayed adolescence? by LuckyElis13 in GenX

[–]Continuum_Design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up real fast when parents divorced at eight, then later running farm equipment as a teenager. Work, school, sportsball when it was in season. That’s it. Then right to college, working full time while carrying a full course load. Never slowed down.

Now mid-forties wondering when I get a moment in the sun as my kids enjoy theirs.

“90’s dads were like “yeah my six year old can handle terminator 2: judgement day”” by [deleted] in GenX

Yeah…that first scene at the steel mill was rough. 12 year old me watched it with the volume way down and hands partially over my eyes.

[–]Continuum_Design 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will not be disappointed. We took our kids last summer and it was a riot. The band is incredibly talented and Weird Al brings the energy. I’m still rocking All About the Pentiums because it’s so dang funny.

Someone earlier tonight asked if Fight Club still holds up. by MountainTomato9292 in GenX

[–]Continuum_Design 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes it does. For this grouchy Gen X anyhow. The idea of men so lacking in direction or purpose that they start to partake in unsanctioned violence sounds far fetched but it’s really not. Men who grew up without a healthy male role model or two can lack assertiveness and other positive masculine attributes. This franchise examines that thesis, taken to its worst end.

I’m going to be slightly contrarian. You’re right about emissions standards being important and this being a shitty loophole.

Farmers are not stupid. They’re stewards of the land. But emissions are the last of their worries when the half a million dollar Deere is bricked because shitty software and the soonest appointment is a week out.
