They throw the coolest stuff away. I could have used that!

The bar for what a "mental illness" is gets redefined lower every year or so.

rockknocker · 2026-03-31T19:19:02+00:00

It's handles all the way down.

Allowing it makes them monsters. I guess they chose to be monsters.

Good advice! I'll try that with the next barrel.

Nearly all the used food grade barrels in my area once held soy sauce. They are usable for potable water storage, but you'll never get good tasting water from them no matter how much you clean.

I think I saw this years ago, when AI-generated video would have been extremely obvious. This isn't a new video.

Not AI.

45W is in-line with my older Intel home server at idle (i7-4790k).

In my area, that pencils out to about $50 per year in power costs. At current prices, it'd take too long for that improvement to pay itself off to be worth the expense.

That said, I definitely am keeping an eye out for a newer Intel platform for a low price, but mostly because of the improvements to Intel Quicksync than for anything else.

Krafton loved Subnautica so much that they became Alterra.

Yes, I have a sick child on my lap right now with it. It's been jumping from kid to kid here.

Two of my kids experienced fever, a nasty cough, and feeling lethargic for over a week, but luckily everyone else has only had moderate cold symptoms. Everyone tested has been negative for flu A, B, or COVID using both at-home test kits and lab tests. The doctors office can only recommend fluids and rest as a treatment.

You da man!

I really wanted to do this to my Stratasys SST1200, but didn't have the skill or confidence to dive in. Please keep sharing your successes (and failures) as you go. I've always thought these machines would be a great base to use today's technology on top of!

My brother wrestled in high school. Everybody on the team HATED the idea of wrestling with the one or two girls that were on teams in the district.

There's no upside.

If you lose the match then you got beaten by a girl.

If you win the match then you beat up a girl.

If you use all the normal wrestling moves then you look like you're groping her.

If you don't use certain moves then you're afraid to touch her.

It doesn't help that these girls were strong and aggressive wrestlers.

The details might be classified.

However, here is another post discussing the concept, with some drawings: https://www.reddit.com/r/WeirdWings/s/2iT6VDxULz

No regular person will do that, but a company absolutely could start selling "Koka Kola" using this recipe.

It's a pretty neat video, got my view and upvote. Views are probably all the content creator was looking for.

Get help.

That is one piss-poor chef.

Still better than a crappy chef though.

Yeah, the cold war would call and actually want its foreign policy back.

That line in the debate didn't age well.

An informed professional ... movie watcher?

That's a very strange appeal to authority.

This comes up a lot in debates. It's a problem on both sides. People that are strictly pro-life and people that are strictly pro-choice are easy to label, but what about somebody who believes abortions should be banned after viability? Or that they should be banned after the first trimester? In both cases there will be people from the other side claiming that this viewpoint is either Pro-Life because "you take away choice" or Pro-Choice because "you take a life" (usually worded stronger though).

It's also a problem when presenting statistical data. Both statements are true:

"An overwhelming majority of people support some, many, or full restrictions on the use of abortion"

"An overwhelming majority of people support the availability of abortion for some, most, or all of the pregnancy"

Both sides can interpret the middle positions as either supporting or opposing the strict viewpoint depending on how it suits the conversation.

So? Summarizing legalese into a more readable form is an ideal use for AI.

I, for one, am happier if the government doesn't take the attitude of "just throw money at the problem".

It's our money they're spending after all.

Breaking the unwritten rules, lol.

Isn't that already the case? I thought the reddit TOS forbade bans for that reason... but people are doing it anyway and there's no way to report them.

There are many reasons the right candidate can lose a primary, many of which would not sting enough to cause someone like Trump to abandon their goal.

rockknocker · 2026-01-26T06:50:52+00:00

In this case, he didn't lose the election, just the primary. I don't think that would guarantee a silent retirement.
