As the spider-sloth plummets faster and faster into the hard ground below, it suddenly remembers its mother’s words long ago:

“Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyooooo…” * splat *

To be fair, they’re very good at not falling from trees.

Boy half is somewhat accurate, but usually it’ll be some other friend in the conversation who’ll jump in with some stupid remark like “what you guys homo now”, and the rest will join in and laugh.

Having learned their lesson, they’ll know not to compliment another boy again, and to mock others if they do it.

It spreads like a cancer, really.

Breakfast tea with a splash of milk is super common in the UK, that’s not weird at all.

Also, the whole of southeast Asia, and at this point the world, loves milk tea - especially with tapioca pearls, aka “bubble tea”.

What’s on your bedside table?

The other day I was looking at a guy who made a “cheap build!” for his homelab, to play with around AI models. The guy had 4 (FOUR!) 4090s with a 2kW+ PSU in some run of the mill case.

I have a 1Gb Pi 4B that hosts my critical network infrastructure (DHCP, DNS, cloudflared), a 20 year old laptop that I brought back to life with an SSD and some cheap RAM for mostly everything else, and the only thing I splurged a bit was a NAS with 2 drives for proper RAID, for the family photos and docs.

But I started with the cheap Pi, and built up from there. Don’t start from the top :)

Wait what’s arcane? Like portainer, but good?

I fear that the more info I have about someone, the higher the chance I’ll say something stupid.

No way I can make a joke in front of your new GF about how you broke your old bed with your ex, if I don’t know that happened in the first place.

😭

Exactly! Barking isn’t some sort of language in and of itself, it’s only a minor part of how dogs communicate.

I agree. Millipedes ads are getting absolutely crazy in the last several years, and must be stopped!

An AI will contradict and correct you. They’ll just act all subservient when doing it - “That’s a very common point of confusion!”

No AI I’m sure it’s not, it’s just me who said a dumb thing.

I assumed they were acting out of romantic interest, not out of malice/gossipy curiosity.

Choo Choo!

Boots be made for walking. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a place that’s not struggling with fascism nowadays, or free from patriarchal tendencies, but I assume you’re in the US, in which case many countries are indeed better.

I don’t follow. Isn’t that why you’re letting dogs in your vehicle in the first place? WHOSAGOODBOY

Or maybe she’s one of those dimwits who likes to annoy judges by asking them if they are following maritime or common law, and assert that the court doesn’t have jurisdiction over them, and that they’re not travelling, and that nobody was personally harmed…

It’s impressive just how careful judges tend to be with these nutcases, which I suppose is because it’s so far outside the rules of court, that they tend to play too safe and end up vindicating the whole clown show…

Ahahah! You gotta watch The Boys now

“Battalion of baubled barbarians” is a juicy phrase.

KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

“By not enforcing your patents”

You’re absolutely right. From the article:

Years of stagnation and underinvestment have left its product lineup dated, while mass layoffs have gutted its development teams.

Patents would have held up this carcass for years and years, preventing anyone from actually innovating and improving on the original design, and keeping the prices bloated. Fuck patents.

It’s like complaining that you got overtaken when you stopped running after the 100m line, when you’re running a marathon.
