Ah, yes, prescriptivism.

Men and women are different… The horror!

No.

The end.

Ask her to explain what’s sexist about saying that.

Is it sexist to say “I’ve never worn wet Billy Bob brand underwear”?

Sounds to me like she has some hangups.

Also, did you mean it to be sexist? No? Then it wasn’t. She’s decided to hear it that way and lay some nonsense on you.

Honestly, had that been me, I would’ve busted out laughing at the inanity.

Can you spin up a VM or a docker image?

I’ve done this when services misbehave, and just migrate the DB over (Syncthing in particular).

It was on the jumbotron - surely one or two of the thousands of people at the show knew who it was. And then we’d have people watching it remotely, or the show appearing on video services, etc.

Assuming this was discovered via “Social Media Surveillance” is a leap, and a weak argument about such surveillance (which is a real problem that I’ve been arguing against since the late 90’s).

Again, this was on the jumbotron. Stuff on the jumbotron has made the media circles since the advent of the jumbotron.

I haven’t had a bootloader unlocked Samsung since the S4, and I’m not sure it was actually unlockable, it’s just the last US Samsung that I could root, which usually requires an unlockable boot loader.

Lol.

Still got the library issue, eh? Gonna have to just turn off services/apps/processes until you find the culprit.

Yea, buts that very different than software VOIP.

I know this first hand by having VOIP-only voice on my phone via a service using Monocles Chat or Cheogram.

Voice calls via my cell plan are much better quality and more consistent than VOIP via an app. I suspect this is because voice calls over 4G/5G are encoded by hardware.

Even Google Voice for calls is pretty awful, which is why I’ve never paid to use it for voice calls.

Lol, funny the things that make people jump.

Glad to see it, but clearly privacy wasn’t the reason, which is weird to me.

I don’t find it “better” in any way other than privacy.

From a user standpoint, the UI is just SMS, that is it’s not good.

Plus I no longer trust them after the lie that they dropped SMS because if “engineering costs”. There are free SMS apps, because the app has fuck all to do with SMS - your app merely registers as the SMS app, and uses the native API calls for the SMS database.

None.

When they dropped SMS support, I no longer had a mechanism to get people to switch.

Ewww, Vista.

That’s like stepping in something nasty

I’d at least flip the drive on the right so it’s underside is closer to the fan, as that side gets hotter in my experience, so it would have more effective cooling.

RAID 5 is fine, as part of a storage and data management plan. I run it on an older NAS, though It can do RAID 6.

No RAID is reliable in the sense of “it’ll never fail” - fault tolerance has been added to it over the years but it’S still a storage pool from multiple drives.

ZFS adds to it’s fault resistance, but you still better have proper backups/redundancy.

Heat pumps no more “create” energy as air conditioners do, as they’re the exact same thing.

They simply move heat. No more, no less.

That you see moving heat to inside a container as “creating” hear doesn’t make it so - it’s just moving energy (as heat) from one container to another, same as AC, because it is an AC unit with a reversing valve (as you mentioned).

Saying they “create more heating energy than they consume” is accurate only if you compare it to using electric to heat using resistive heating on a per-watt basis. This is always the part people leave out when they say it’s “500% more efficient”.

Labels on electric space heaters saying 100% efficient have the same issue. While technically true in that all the electricity is turned to heat, it’s a meaningless statement.

Resistive heating has never been a good idea, ask anyone who’s had a home with resistive where heat is actually required on a regular basis. It’s pretty easy to beat resistive.

I have nothing against heat pumps, it’s a solid tech that’s been with us as AC for 120 years, and specifically as heat pump for about 60 years. My only dislike is they depend on forced air which I personally find less comfortable than radiant.

“bad dreams” are called nightmares

It’ll eventually be anything those in power deem contrary to their agenda.

And people still clamor for a cashless society, when such issues are already obvious.

Yea that was silly.

I spent some time there for work in different places and seasons.

Fall/Winter on the gulf coast is freakin beautiful. You can go running then.

I’ve played a fair amount of golf in different seasons, even summer isn’t too bad if you’re by the coast to get the coastal breeze. But fuck running that time of year, haha.

Freak-a-you, freak-a-me, Freakazoid!

Pihole.
