I’ve always thought the trope was based on the idea of stunted development. Kids are heavily encouraged to drink milk, so films making a point of adults drinking it are indicating that there’s some part of growing up that they’ve missed.

One million hours in gimp

I’m already planning a Minecraft world with my 7 month old. Been trying to find a TV that allows multiple HDMI connections so we can do three way split screen with the wife when he’s old enough.

I have a friend who went on holiday in Amsterdam. Got a flight back home. When he got in the taxi from the airport, the driver asks if he smokes weed. “Yeah a bit. Why?” “Cause you’ve got a bud stuck to your hat”. Dude managed to go through customs with weed on full display on his beanie and didn’t get caught out.

In Britain we have a pressure group that’s inexplicably on TV every other week pedalling this lie and the one that corporation tax hurts businesses. (Corporation tax is paid on net profits, so businesses only pay if they can afford it).

What’s funny is they’re called the “taxpayers alliance” yet their narrative suggests none of them actually have any experience of paying tax.

Join a union and ask for their advice. Even if there’s limitations on what they can do as it seems the process has already started, they’ll still be able to advise on what you’re able to do deal with constructive dismissal.

Look for another job. It’s way easier to find work when you’re in work and don’t have to explain why you’re not at your last job.

Do both of these things. Your health isn’t going to benefit working at a place where you’re not wanted, even if they can’t just fire you.

Oh and if you’re in a country where you’re allowed a representative in meetings and you can take one, always have your union rep there, no matter how friendly it seems.

Tesla/Musk.

Back in 2014 Tesla and Ecotricity had an agreement to upgrade Ecotricity’s charging network to be compatible with Tesla’s superchargers. Tesla whined that it wasn’t being rolled out fast enough. Ecotricity wasn’t a very big company and was basically working for free, so asked Tesla to actually support the roll out if they needed it faster. Musk went mental has been trying to destroy the company ever since. The 2014 Tesla patent release was never about collaboration or saving the planet, he just hoped somebody, somewhere would use it to undermine Ecotricity.

What would these deltas look like? It’d be hard to anonymise and protect from abuse?

Personally I’d be happy to share my likes and watch times, but I know some people worry about that.

It’s funny how Macklemore’s redemption for humiliating Kendrick Lamar is humiliating Kendrick Lamar again.

Random fact: The guy that did the hook a Macklemore’s thrift shop was partially responsible for that.

It’s a failure on the part of mastodon. I don’t really care about whatever drama dansup is embroiled in. Mastodon shouldn’t imply a post is only readable by followers when it’s just a public post that doesn’t show by default in their frontend.

Honestly pixelfed should have just not fixed it. It’s a fediverse problem that can be fixed and mastodon is just misleading people.

Platforms should either make it clear that it means just that the post isn’t advertised by default on all platforms but is always accessible to anyone that wants it or actually implement e2e encryption.

Yeah I’m into indie hip hop and medieval beekeepers

I’d go for syncthing over nextcloud for your specific usecase. Nextcloud isn’t good for unreliable connections and they’re sticking with the annoying decision of not supporting server to server synchronization.

The spark plug example is popular because presumably you find both old sparkplugs and spare car windows at junk yards. What it really is that the ceramic that they’re made out of hard and sharp enough when broken to damage the surface of the glass which causes the chain reaction.

Tempered glass, the type which is used for stuff like shower screens or car windows is under constant tension against itself. The inside of the glass wants to be bigger than the outside. Normally this makes it harder to break as the bonds on the outside are so strong and uniform they prevent it from bending or shearing as easily as normal glass.

The problem is that if you manage to break those bonds, the outside can very rapidly tear itself apart as it finds a way to relieve that tension. It basically pops like a balloon. The reason it breaks into small pieces is because anything bigger is still under tension and once the surface is damaged the crack will spread to ease it.

So your glass could have had a defect or damage which broke a few of those bonds, and heat cycles eventually pushed it to break the next bond along and start a chain reaction which destroyed the whole thing.

Lol why are people such dicks? My vets sent pics when my dog was recovering from an operation. It’s a pretty normal thing.

Anyway, if it was me I’d just set up a stream of the webcam on peertube via OBS.

I think that’s the event this song is about. It definitely reflects the mood.

It seems like the atmosphere is changing now but I’ve been saying this for years.

The language of privilege is backwards and counter productive.
