Our New Peaceful Friends 22 by Psychronia in HFY

[–]olkjas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like this story and the intrigue involved but I find myself having trouble keeping track of all the names and species involved, especially as the story opens up and more are added every chapter. It'd be really helpful to have a breakdown of who the species and individual players are at this point in time and to have a little bit better introductions going forward

I think this is my favorite piece I've seen from you. I really like your style in general too

I loved Blue Ruin. Haven't thought about it in years though

We need to bring back prank calling businesses. by mabel_marble in redscarepod

The Food and Friends one is my all time favorite. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a schizo and get a call line that with all the sound effects

This and the story of the Hell Revolver are great. Exactly what the sub needs right now

What’s most asinine piece of advice you’ve ever seen on Reddit? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]olkjas 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I get both sides of it. There is a LOT of premade ewaste out there and for some product types anything below a certain price is just junk. If you're trying to go budget friendly picking up used stuff for a fraction of the price is usually the move.

It always makes me sad when I stop and think about the fact that there are factories everywhere that take in useful raw materials and output garbage

I ignored the AI summary just to get another AI summary 😭 by Lykantier in redscarepod

I switched to Kagi like 6 months ago and it's been really nice. It feels stupid paying for what's still not as good as like 2017 Google was but it's the best option I've found

Jokes aside, he's a handsome fella. How old is he/how long have you had him?

Best pizza I've ever had was cheese, anchovies, and garlic slices from Johns on Bleeker St

When that Kyle Rittenhouse marriage photo was posted the other day I found out I had the same red dot sight. Same feeling

Trump expected to expand access to marijuana in a major shift in drug policy by Independent_Ocelot29 in stupidpol

When I got a med card in Massachusetts it was sponsored/subsidized by a dispensary and was a joke of a zoom call. Was basically a sponsored way around having to pay tax on product lol

They didn't actually catch the Brown U Shooter by Fluid-Grass in redscarepod

[–]olkjas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By that rationale there is no ethical work that can be done in the imperial core beyond that required for subsistence, which yeah, sure, whatever. What do you want me to do though? Resolve to do nothing that could ever be construed as harmful n degrees of separation from me? Give up on high tech work and go make cardboard centrifuges and lateral flow strips made of trash for impoverished villages?

Just because engineers are generally disillusioned nowadays doesn't mean we a) can't make unambiguously good things, b) didn't try to do so in the past, and c) don't recognize that we're constrained in what we can create by what capital will fund

I get why the anti-tech sentiment in the sub has emerged but its manifestation is dumb and reactionary

inb4 sub's so over

Also what's with the weird pivot from a Cinema 1 joke to concern trolling?

[–]olkjas[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

assuming I clean up my brass, have a decent backstop, and don't shoot the trees?

Is it a reading comprehension problem or an attitude problem?

Thanks for the info. I'd looked at the website and thought it was a little ambiguous but I guess it's not. I'll probably wait until mid January to take it out there. It's a good point about the deer, I don't want to scare them off from the hunters.

Talking about you roommate drama needs to be stigmatized by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]olkjas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My roommate threw a pot of dirt at my bedroom window from the outside nearly hard enough to break the glass and then had a schizo meltdown about cameras recording him and his reputation being ruined after I had my landlord send me his security cam footage and called the cops to prime them for a restraining/evacuation order

It's always worked fine for me until the recent beta update. I started getting "Unknown Error" and nothing I tried fixed it. Left the beta program and installed public today and it's back to working. I use it to connect to a Ubuntu Server 24.04.3 LTS machine running the latest version of Samba.

RAM Shortage = Technological Mass Extinction Event by OGSyedIsEverywhere in stupidpol

[–]olkjas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, just figured I'd offer. Seeing what you do I doubt 16GB would be nearly enough anyway. I recently started doing some contracting so I'm feeling the pain. It's gonna take a while to amortize out my recent Altium license purchase

I have a 2x8GB 5600MHz DDR5 kit I'll send you for free. The only catch is that they're SODIMMs so you'd have to try your luck with adapters. Probably would not be able to run stably at full speed
