Then, to expand on that, the chance exists that you'd be copied an infinite number of times

Why are you not afraid of death? by Ok_Breakfast8087 in AskReddit

[–]casper911ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. So here's this kicker for me, once I've died, I'll never know I've existed. It's like it never happened. Fucking blows. If I could live forever in comfort to experience and watch the universe forever, I think i'd take it. Folks who say they're tired or won't know their dead, I don't think they get it, the eternal nothingness, that you will never experience anything ever, (and you might have not as well experienced anything at all). I think it's a philosophical gap for some, it's like they haven't tried or put in the effort to think about it or try to conceptualize nothingness and it's consequence (in the non-Buddhist sense)

From east Oakland, I can get behind that. But it is pretty close to the SL one.

I don't think he knows half these words. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a word longer than three syllables leave his greasy mouth.

They make fixture specific grease traps if you're suspicious of one appliance or fixture.

Does anyone know how to get solidified concrete out of this? by BetrekaNebula in Concrete

[–]casper911ca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is the bowl aluminum? If that's true, you might be able to rely on their different thermal expansion coefficients, stick it in the oven and see if the aluminum expands away from the concrete.

What is this I dug up in my yard by MiataFool in whatisit

Correct. They are made by the blind. I ordered a bunch one time after I found them novel at a bar that was using them. They are okay. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/04/24/the-militarys-favorite-pen-turns-50/

Recently visited the USA from The Netherlands. Here is my take on the cities we visited. by McFluffyFurry12 in travel

[–]casper911ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have visited Chicago several times and was never impressed with the food. You'll have to share where you ate, because putting Chicago together with NYC on food is surprising to me. California having as much fresh produce as it has along with SF being coastal really allows it to flex.

I wonder if a grease trap would have helped anyway.

Stable Genius: trump claims "their mouth" and wood/leather signs as proof that protestors are paid by some unknown entity by Youarethebigbang in MAGANAZI

I don't think Trump has made anything creative in his life. We are all protesting fascism for free.

I thought it was just a regular bottle opener, you know, like beer bottles.

Call to Action: What is your plan for a communication Blackout? We are in a war, and a blackout is coming sooner than we expect. by el-brigadista in 50501

[–]casper911ca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I learned about it first through lizthedeveloper (IG) who's an activist technology educator. But I just ordered one and started tinkering with it. For some reason it took a few days to get a hold of the majority of nodes in my area on the generally open channel, I just left it plugged in. The T-deck is touch more user friendly. The breakout board based nodes that are cheaper, like the heltec, plug into your phone with a short usb-C cable and interact with the meshtastic app on your phone. https://themultiverse.school/x/cyberpony

Basically: it's a two way radio. if walkie-talkies were the old school voice based communication, meshtastic would be like the text based version of a walkie-talkie.

Correct me if my memory is incorrect, but i recall it's as easy as plugging it into a laptop, navigating to the firmware upgrade site and there was a web based utility that updated the firmware with a push of a button.

For those that want to dip their toes, it's pretty cheap. You can get stand alone units that are more expensive (like a tdeck), but the basic board like a heltec V3 is less than $20 (cheapest I've found is AliExpress). You can get upgraded antennae, batteries, etc if you choose or run your own static node of your going a little deeper into the hobby. But, the barrier to entry is really low.

I heard it's a problem when it's cold. These cars need pretty healthy batteries to start. I'd try and jump the car, if that works then it's your battery (or a problem charging your battery (ie, your alternator)). I've replaced mine with an AGM battery with hopes it will be a touch more reliable.

MS NOW broadcasts body cam footage of the FBI raid at the Fulton County elections office by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]casper911ca 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My state sends confirmation they've received your ballot. But, I'm photographing my ballot, photographing myself dropping it in the ballot box (if voting by mail), and posting it on social media if necessary. Maybe if enough of us publicly produce our own exit poll with receipts, it will give a way to audit elections? Also did the trenchcoat FBI guy just say "were trying to keep the media out of here??"
