More than half of Bill Gates’ pre-Windows 95 fortunes must have come solely from this ad spot from Steve Ballmer

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Yep I’ve been a bit peeved by these ads. North American Oil industry advocates are pushing any way they can to stay relevant over the next decades. They won’t hesitate to tell misleading statements to get their way.

I’ll take slightly curdling milk in my cereal over piss, thanks.

Yeah, my local Domino’s had a banger deal this past weekend too, was $15 after tax for a 1-topping large and cinnamon sticks. (~11 USD).

In Canada we still Domino’s have coupons on the website and sometimes they are even mailed out.

And yeah, to get a decent deal you have to only order the pizza, pick it up yourself, get drinks and sides anywhere else if you want them. I’m a sucker for cinnamon sticks and icing that many chains offer.

NatPo pledges allegiance to monied interests.

I agree, it is double counted.

However, when it comes to emissions, the buyer and seller should bear half (or something close to that) of the responsibility each. Take the number and divide it in half if you wish, but the producer shifting responsibility to the buyer is not a fair share of the blame, and figures like this help give a sense of how much this is being done.

Lol I think it’s the parking (aka subsidies for motor vehicle users) that really sends it away. Not only are big box stores bigger than your average European store but in North America the space allocated to parking often is several times greater than the footprint of the building.

Starcraft 2 has the best control scheme out of all the RTS games that I have played. I wish Age of Empires 2 could put the map on the left, then I would be way better at using it.

Fog of war

Just play Terran and scan, hurr durrrrrrr. Interestingly, AoE2 has a game option of letting everyone see each other by default.

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

I agree. I haven’t posted much to my local subs these days.

The way to get your feed feeling more how you want is either to block communities you don’t like, or subscribe only to communities you like.

The communities are patchwork and so the growth rate is not uniform, the TPBS group are recent Reddit refugees that migrated over all together which is why they are a bit of an outsize group on our small and humble server.

I agree that a default/local feature set would be great, I’ve been talking about community groups (multicommunities, tags, whatever) should be a thing for months, things that would make it a little easier for users and server admins to curate the experience, because I admit it the feed can feel a bit chaotic when not logged in.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Looks good

Did you post the correct link? Body of the article doesn’t seem to match the posted headline.

Because we like big chicken breasts and we cannot lie.

(Male chickens of egg-laying breeds don’t have as much meat, and also the males left together often compete and can try to kill each other. You’d want around a dozen hens per rooster, compared to roughly 1:1 that would come out naturally with eggs, and have enough space for each to call their own).
