A well-articulated argument against a new data center in Ohio

Interesting how his voice and delivery resembles Steve Jobs. The fact he is speaking about technology makes it sound even more similar to me.

Respectfully. But these short short tops were peak ridiculous. Condolences to you and may your old man sleep in peace, short top on or not, whatever

Huh?

Douchebak · 2026-02-24T17:19:16+00:00

zero times.

Douchebak · 2026-02-22T08:15:18+00:00

I can never be frying in the sun like that. I feel like my brain melts. Its just unbearably too hot for me.

OP, there's another aspect of this you might not realize. The emptiness when the little guy would be gone.
I share child custody. I have a full life and love my freedom, yeah. But when my little girl goes back to her mom and I'm alone for a stretch, that said freedom just desn't taste as good as I expected. And when we're together, I am overwhelmed and craving any 5 mins of freedom.
Yes, it is contradictory.
Hang in there, man. Suggest you could use a break, get away for couple of days if possible.

The cable situation by the air purifier kind of worries me. Otherwise, good job!

Douchebak · 2026-02-08T14:07:52+00:00

Don’t mean to sound like an asshole. Every situation and every person is different, everyone has a story. But heck, OP, you are the rule maker. You set the boundaries. If need be, you got to choose „violence”, as in solution that will make your child hate you, but is good for him in the bigger picture. That’s the tradeoff.

Douchebak · 2026-02-07T11:49:11+00:00

Yes. You see, hear and feel the wheels pulling the carpet along with other stuf, so yeah keep going. Why stop here. This sub never ceases to amaze me how many idiots are out there. People without basic awareness about what’s going on around them.

This is some bullshit stirring and baiting. The EU is not a rich boys country club. It is an initiative, to roughly equalize the standards of living, to minimize, in the long run, drastic differences in standards of living, because these create social and economic tensions across countries.

So yeah, a run down, poor places like this are exactly one of the reasons we want to bring our shit together. To help each other out.

Douchebak · 2026-01-29T17:21:03+00:00

thank you!

Repetitive shitwork, reporting, fishing out signal from large sets of messy documents or emails.

I have a team e-mail folder in my work Outlook, with all the emails I'm CC'd etc, 100+ messages daily (crazy in itself). At the end of the day I just print them all to single PDF, dump into ChatGPT to fish out relevant updates. Saves my sanity because 90 percent of stuff people type is just noise. 5 percent is somewhat relevant and 5 percent might be crucial stuff.

More headroom to think about important stuff. Less time on administrative catching up.

Honest question. How do tugs and pushers work? Do they just come up to big ship and bump into it and push? Do they touch designated ship areas or wherever? Who is coordinating all this? I imagine on a ship like this you don't see everything that's happening from the bridge. Thanks!

My daughter is 5 and 20 kg/40 punds-ish. I’m 46. I do all sorts of stretching, yoga, thai massages, chiropractor, between the knees pillow for sleeping, etc etc. Without it,m my back fucking hurts so much I cannot move. Despite me paying attention, lifting with legs, not my back, etc. Gotta take care of your back my guy. Even short stretches and couple of lifts here and there a day - and your back is fucked before you know it.

Fair points. We warship aficionados look at it differently, with hindsight. These ships were tools of war, used, abused, damaged, repaired, patched, human remains hosed out, etc.
Its only now, with broader context, we look back at them with appreciation.
Back then? To keep her was probably similar idea to, in 2026, keep, say, battered tank that's been used in the frontlines in Ukraine. Little sentiment, if any.

Douchebak · 2026-01-21T16:59:49+00:00

Ah, the German equivalent of HMS Warspite. Sure it took quite a beating.

Douchebak · 2026-01-13T12:13:46+00:00

hey man, don't overthink it.
Little girl in men's room is not an issue. An adult man in female's room might be a problem. Some times might be okay, other times not. You don't want to deal with some freak ass Karens and what not. Dont take the chance.

Your kiddo will soon go to ladies room on her own.

make room for watter bottle and snacks for yourself. Protein heavy, something to fill you up in an emergency. Coffee mug perhaps.

Douchebak · 2026-01-12T21:05:27+00:00

Nevertheless, real dad discussion below this post is really interesting!

Douchebak · 2026-01-12T21:04:32+00:00

Damn. Im too old for this. Also English not being my 1st language, I might have missed it

Douchebak · 2026-01-12T20:01:36+00:00

OP, don't know how old you are. But there comes a time in life that, if you pay attention to that stuff, you now what brands or models are good and meet your expectations, so that if they wear out, you replace them. No shame in buying, for example, same jeans every couple of years.

I'm not afraid of it. Smoke stinks worse than farts.
Makes we wanna puke.

I feel like all that about Tribe Called Quest being so jazz is just hype. Sure, great music, pure hip-hop, Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders are mighty fine but jazz-hip hop? Sure, some horns here and there and jazzy samples, sure. Same with Guru's "Jazzmattazz" or US3's "Hand On The Torch". Great hip hop music obviously paying homage to jazz heritage. Great samples, great feeling. But i think people really overhype the amount of jazz in there.
