We did everything right. Everything that was asked of us. And still, it came to this. socialist || defender of all lgbtq || shitty dj || gun nerd but not a tankie || extra class ham radio operator || mazda miata is the best car in the world

yeah but unlike you we havent won the frickin powerball !! ! ! also: youtu.be/kucefQ6sYbo
friday is 4 months for me! I feel so much better already. thanks for proving it's doable, random bsky friend
NGL that is one of the challenges doing a good smoke as a single dude. i'm not doing just one rack, i'm fillin that thing up, and oh man gotta clean the fridge out first. Glad to hear all yours found a good home quickly!
advanced search has a slider to filter by max emitter drain
I've got this adorable little fella for the inside bench. Originally bought it to torque the screws on an Epyc CPU mount, now i use it for mounting red dots and also being a dick about my PC case screws. Actually came with a signed calibration sheet and all, close enough for government work
i suspect like 95% of my impact usage will be counterclockwise. i got ratchets and breaker bars and whatnot. Ive got the Cheap 1/2" torque wrench and yeah i know it's not good, but it's better than not having a torque wrench. I might upgrade that idk.
10-4 gotcha
since we're on the topic, anybody got takes on torque sticks? i mean obviously theyre not lab equipment but would it be smart to pick up a set so i don't accidentally friction weld a lug nut on?
i had analysis paralysis over this shit for YEARS cause i was worried about buying the wrong one and lighting $400 on fire. sounds like i chose wisely then!
yeah i got the 1/2" bauer brushless with the 5ah pack. picked up the angle grinder along with it to get the bike chains cut off, and had to go back (to buy angle grinder discs lol) and went ahead and grabbed the drill/driver. im all in baby
by far the most likely spot to be the first crack in the embankment
way to be, i love it
i got sympathy for natguard here. they're more likely to be normal humans than fulltimers, theyre sleeping in random irs basements on coleman cots and eating lunchly clearance meals, everybody on the street screams at them all day and now they're getting loophole underpaid. thats a recipe for spice
i bought my first impact gun today. its rated to like 1000 ft lb and i think this is what they use to build tanks or something. its so loud lol. but those motorcycle axle nuts didnt stand a chance
how many to go?
oh man i ordered a bunch of parts to rehab my motorcycles and get them back on the road and nobody told me the recommended Yuasa battery is a friggin 1880s tech wet cell that ships as a kit. this owns lol
take the L on trans rights and GOP will win anyways and say they were right. then it's pedal to the metal. they'll go for gay marriage. then they'll go for mixed marriage. then they'll deny tax benefits and power of attorney rights to couples without bio children
"turn that up to 11 and rip the knob off" jesus they cannot do anything right
this dude had SO MUCH respect by so many huge film fans and people LOVED him, his science stuff, his movie stuff, everything And now that he's made his fuck-you money and basically out of the game, just joining lockstep with capital Evil people aren't all rich, but all rich people end up evil
ive said it before and i will say it again - trump WILL be the president that Grabs Guns and he's going to use "bloody chicago!" or a similar blue city as a justification, and they will cheer it on because it'll be disarming POC/LGBTQ/etc and all the nazis will just tell 'tragic boat accident' jokes
Youtube: This is the hardest one. I watch a LOT. Big hole there. yt-dlp might be a good solution, but has no discoverability so you gotta browse the site to find videos you want to watch. I could shitcan my Premium sub though.
Slack: Unfortunately we built our friend chat on Slack and I don't want to ask everybody to migrate (and communities rarely survive a platform move intact), but GOD they're getting pushy with it. I'd have to tolerate it for now.
I use FreshRSS to read a lot of Reddit and also keep tabs on many local news sites. RSS is dying but some places are keeping it ticking. It's great. That's a possible solution for an info feed.
Google? Been on Gmail forever but email can be migrated off. Search can probably be replaced. Apple: I'm getting more nervous about their shoehorning this shit in. Steve would have decapitated folks a year ago over it. Bodies in the pond in the middle of apple campus.
so like i'm thinking about what this would entail. A full cut's not possible cause you gotta pay bills and I gotta work. But what things to scalpel out? SA: This is safe. its humans. its a stupid dead comedy site. Reddit: Moderate risk. r/popular is AI'd up but individual nerd subreddits are fine
im like two new "ask the AI" releases on web sites away from becoming one of those folks that has a manifesto written out using hardware store letters on the back of my car like im starting to consider if it's finally time to consider "the internet" as a fundamentally hostile entity and get off it
Go for it. I don't even care any more.
kids these days are too worried about collecting amiibos and not worried enough about collecting amoebas

yeah i go to the mall annually for my BOGO shoe shit and its really weird now. like it feels like a 3d projection of a mall or something. it looks the same, but it's not the same
its genuinely tragic how the only thing left is Spending Money Somewhere, like as the primary goal. sure id spend 5 bucks at the shell for a pack o smokes and 2 gallons of gas and a mt dew before the evening's fun, but that wasnt the point of it. we were the last lucky ones that could roam the town
could wax poetic here about things like the death of PCs, the reshaping of consoles into unitasker PCs, and the fact that if you want to interact with your friends thats one of the few ways left. idk. like im not defending their take but thats what pops in my head
genuinely surprised not already a thing like a year ago?
the framing is perfect lmao
"how can we take this tragic situation that everybody with a human soul is really upset about, and make it a lot fucking worse and scarier?"
Yeah thats fine, sure
In the year 2021, I paid $126.00 to back a Kickstarter to dub the Dirty Pair TV anime and release it on Blu-Ray, with an estimated ship date of August, 2022. Nearly four years later, Crunchyroll still hasn’t shipped anything.
also the "do you believe in god" is lifted from that columbine urban legend
they did a poop and scoop on this stupid fucking bullshit and some people made so god damn much money off it and fifty million racist rednecks did all the work for them

I caught a wee bit of tropospheric ducting when randomly looking at the ADS-B map a bit ago. Good range. :D
flawless
comedy rework of the classic firing squad blindfold/wall/cigarette scene but its a big rip off a vape

"Everybody said the same thing about radio and tv and the internet too, and they were wrong" seems to be a common refrain
they are trying to make life cheap and worthless. their actions are more in line with the idea of 'destroying what makes humans special' than anything else.
new paradigm. if you Have, your kids get human teachers and therapists and babysitters and parents, if you Have Not, theyre raised by robots and get mashed potato brains cause you work 22h a day in the robot factory. they are trying to devolve humans and its driving me crazy watching it in real time
I just wanted to see how bad it really was. perfect, adobe. no notes. great tech.
OK then!
I saw it. We can work on two things in parallel. Some of us are focusing on the thing we can leverage our technical knowledge to help explain the dangers of. I don't think we have to wait until Self-Harm Is Solved In Society to talk about how AI is a dangerous contributing factor.
It does not remind me of that and I lived through all of it. The people yelling about heavy metal or Doom didn't understand the things they were protesting. The people yelling about LLMs being very dangerous by and large understand how they work *extremely well*.
yep one could spend 40 hours a week hand sewing american flags and giving them away for free and if you vote for the wrong party you'd be accused of stealing a job from a good hardworking american because youre a socialist communist xi asset.
oh come ON
hams would literally rather do this than go to therapy
eyes! heh.
idea? building heatmap of plane tracker locations over time + detect when there's a sustained lack of planes in an area to detect storm intensity. because nws is gonna get defunded or w/e. noticed this hole east of cosprings and sure enough
i like when the curves go backwards haha
this is why i'm disgusted at liberals ALREADY simping for newsom 2028, why i refuse to abide any of this "just be pragmatic"/"vote blue no matter who" bullshit. we're living the consequences of that strategy! all it does is kick the can down the road! we cannot keep fucking doing this, man!!
This world sucks and i'm tired of pretending that it doesn't
jeff i need you to read about the bans for like 5, hell even 3 minutes, and learn that the kids either can't or won't stay off their phones in class and have expressed a consensus of relief that they're being treated as autonomous beings rather than somebody mommy needs to 'check in on' 7x a day
these will be triple locked behind hardened steel doors with guards that have every Doom upgrade weapon in any area that suffers a natural disaster
ok that is super nifty
what a hypocrite Adams loves a scavenger hunt
i started hrt when i was 20. according to newsom that means: a) i was at least 5 years too young b) i was old enough to date him i will not vote for him.
freakin unit mixing! this needs to be 600+5!!!!!
IDK i had a close call on the 15L line in Denver one day when a little abuela shuffled on with a Coleman full of steaming tamales and started selling em while we were in motion for a buck apiece
hang on formulating a theory about marissa mayer ill let u know when its ready
Hey this is a great demonstration of 'loudness war' type stuff. low to high: Hispanic station at 87.75 aka TV channel 6, public classical, public jazz, NPR talk, and one of those awful contemporary christian stations. Just brickwalling it, if we're the loudest station on the dial we'll save souls
oh i can
if i had to see this today, so do you
which is worse - posting chicken little whataboutisms or learning how to use wireshark
trivial: brachydactyly, aka "megan fox thumbs". Upside: was school champion at Thumb War downsides: have to bowl with 19lb ball cause thats the only one thats drilled out large enough, cant use MMO mice, gotta 2hand a phone (this is why i dont care about PhOnE tOo BiG)
last night was a double feature of k-pop demon hunters, amazing (wholesome, polished) and the 90 minute myhouse.wad dive, amazing (terrifying, noneuclidean) good tv night
i was pondering the other day if it could happen that the ai bubble pops, a bunch of datacenters get hollowed out, what happens? does amazon buy and bulldoze them or do colocation fees drop by 90% and companies who are sick of AWS go back to running their own computers
Fuck. Ugh.
In 1914, J. S. "Jim" Smart, a banker from Saginaw, Michigan, and H. D. "Hildane" Final purchased a grocery store. you know the rest
DO YOU HAVE THE APP? YOU SHOULD GET THE APP! YOU KNOW THEY HAVE COUPONS ON THE A I do not care. I am ordering food. i am a somewhat civilized human being. Please stop trying to solder together whichever of my neurons you think will make me run a tracking device to get a big mac
if i recall that's exactly where it originated yep. and its good
love that for you
my vote
Google just announced their Pixel 10 phones with "Pro Res Zoom," which uses generative AI to upscale images from the 5x optical/20x super-res camera to 100x. Along with a video which might look impressive to people who don't know about cars. What the fuck is that supposed to be? Shit's fraudulent
there it is
there's a comment on the thread from a guy that said "when i was in Kabul we'd roll in an up-armored suburban or something in town because these were deemed too dangerous to drive around civilians" so
hey its an mrap! theyre 25000 pounds, ten feet tall and can drive over cars like a monster truck! And they don't have keys! And here's the manual! static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1...
opposite sides! door in the middle of the back wall!
so my wife and i saw you from across the meeting house, and you're not gonna believe this, but
I will eat the nuclear shrimp and gain the power of shrimp

this person really needs to delete some installer files or something, their windirstat looks terrifying
the number one best way to get life altering magic future tech is to use the existing mundane tech we have today to improve the lives of the people who will develop the life altering magic future tech. this is exactly what we've done for a hundred thousand years and it works
The #CargoBike market is so hot right now you can launch a new model on Craigslist!
Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.
im comin up on 7 years of having that expedition and man was 4 grand a wise expenditure. drove it today. still does all the things.
and because of it, the kids get to go to school like normal kids! Granted, evidently the only curriculum is talking about the second impact over and over, from a 92 year old teacher, but they at least get to go to class and eat lunch and interact like (sometimes punchy) teenagers
I love 2 facets of it 1: The total-war engineering of this enormous infrastructure to try to survive - the NERV apparatus, the city sinking into the earth at night 2: The slice of life stuff where these measures give breathing room to go home and eat junk food or go camping or visit an aquarium
