SARGE

It's like trying to hold water in your hands.

The tighter you squeeze, the quicker it's gone.

They're destroying your shit, you should be allowed to go destroy theirs.

Farm just down the road sells dozens for a dollar.

But I don't really care for eggs, so I'm not seething so much as chuckling at the egg prices in the store.

This morning I passed a dozen for $6.

Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock...

I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.

I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I'm willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.

However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I'm not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.

From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you're doing.

I'm sure I'm overestimating the learning curve but it's still intimidating.

I saw the headline, my brain went "so he's being held in contempt, as would any other person refusing to answer a question, right?"

Of course, I already knew the answer.

First mistake: needing to use stairs to get to the bathroom

That's too far in case of an emergency. Sometimes shit happens, and you get little to no warning with certain disorders.

Second mistake: actually that's it. Just stairs. They suck when you wake up a 3am and need to pee and now you need light so you don't trip and fall.

I like my bathroom close and stair-free.

Okay so even though I read all this last night, I somehow missed the "2000 - (-2000) years" thus making the current geological age around 4000 years, and technically Pompeii would not count in the strictest definition. That said, had it happened 4,000 years ago, absolutely nothing would have changed. All the stuff would still be carbonized.

~~Also from Wikipedia in the (geological age) article: An age is the smallest hierarchical geochronologic unit. It is equivalent to a chronostratigraphic stage.[14][13] There are 96 formal and five informal ages.[2] The current age is the Meghalayan.~~

~~So again the answer is "yes it counts" but my personal take is "it feels weird to consider 4,000-10,000 ago multiple different geologic ages"~~

People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.

If you mean the cheap white/green plastic injection molded chairs? I've never had one break on me. That's an insult to the chair.

If you mean the shitty things sporting goods stores keep in their giant bins as soon as you walk in the door during spring? Yeah that tracks. Although I've had some that require fancy slides and buttons to collapse, thus making them harder to fold than this wet lump of shit.

From wikipedia: A fossil (from Classical Latin fossilis, lit. 'obtained by digging')[1] is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

Answer: yes. It does count. Specifically carbonization.

Personal take: when I think of a "fossil", I think of the stereotypical mineralized bones. Like the T-Rex in the museum of natural history that most people have seen from various movies and TV shows. Thinking of human and human predecessor bones as fossils is just weird to me.

You first.

But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it's the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.

To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that'd be great. I've been getting 2-3 a week.
