• Back up your data now

• Run a self test on the drive - smartctl -t long - if it doesn’t pass, then the drive is trash. If it does, then it might limp along a bit longer before catastrophically failing

Illegally smol

Society needs Mandatory Service Worker Service. Like Mandatory Military Service, except you are required to spend a year working a full time minimum wage job with no outside financial support before you turn 25

Some (usually cheaper) indicating desiccants use cobalt-based dies which are fairly toxic, but unless you are using them to keep food dry it’s not a huge issue. Having them break into powder in the microwave probably isn’t great though, I’d avoid breathing any of it in

If your country is in a place where you don’t think banning felons from holding elected office is good because you are worried that the legislative branch will weaponize the judicial branch to stop their opposition from running, then I’d suggest that the problem isn’t one that laws can fix

It’s not the issuance that’s the headache, it’s the installation. There are more things that need valid certs than just webservers

Nah, fuck that.

You know what humanity has done with its chances? Eliminated polio. Developed better crops and farming techniques to almost entirely eliminate famines. Slashed maternal mortality to a fraction of what it was 2 generations ago. Developed social and economic systems to tip the incentives in favour of peace and cooperation - even with gestures broadly at Russia and the middle east the current generation is less likely to be killed in war than in any other time in history. There are dozens of medical conditions that, if you developed then 50 years ago you just died where today it’s a routine surgery to correct.

Apathy is what kills us. If you want to die then go get help - personally there are a few billion people I give a shit about.

Unless you’ve got an absolutely stellar CV, I don’t see you getting a chance to explain that

I agree with your analysis of the law, but I do get why people are a bit uncomfortable with this. Elon has been a shit human, rocket launches have impacted wildlife and SpaceX and Tesla have been toxic places to work for a long time, but that’s only become a problem recently because he’s been getting more involved in politics? The whole point of having a regulatory state separate from the rest of the government is so they can set and enforce rules fairly and impartially.

But it’s all the government’s fault for having regulations that stop him doing what he wants - he’d be on Mars by now if it wasn’t for the stupid government stopping him from poisoning a protected nature reserve and crashing rockets into people.

Don’t they understand? It’s really important to get people to mars so there is a place for rich assholes to go when the environment on earth is completely trashed beyond repair

“how do you explain this gap in your job/education history here?”

Makes it harder to get a job overseas though I’d hope

Idk, if I was in a position to be hiring people and I saw “served in the IDF 2023/2024” in the job history section of a CV that’d probably count against a person the same as a conviction for rape or murder.

Who would win: one of the most destructive natural disasters ever seen, or some strappy bois

Those anchor points are going to need to be driven really deep to do anything - the ground is already waterlogged

Oh, you could get them printed in the US by someone who knows what they are doing, but it’ll cost $1/unit more

Strongly agree. The fact that a nazi shithead felt safe enough to out himself in public means that more nazis need to be seeing public consequences for being hate filled oxygen thieves.

Being a nazi should be like being a pedo; you should be living in constant fear that someone is going to find out and that when you eventually get out of prison your friends, family and society at large want nothing to do with you

The only real use case for VPNs is to bypass geo blocking on streaming sites, and the VPN providers know this. They also know that if they lean too hard into that, eventually someone will sue them and their business model will evaporate - so they add the “iT MaKEs yOu mORe SeCurE” nonsense as a fig leaf so they can say with a straight face that they operate a product with legitimate uses
