Absolutely insane. If the account was inactive, sure or it was some no name band, ok. But really sucks to see it. I don’t see anything about it, but i hope they were at least compensated.

I managed to grab a nice 3 letter twitter name that ended up being the name of a company who just had twitter support (before twitter sucked) send me a message and they offered to buy it from me - reasonable price too. I wasn’t holding it for ransom, it also happens to be my initals too, and I just posted family shit, small links, activities, boring shit for friends. I didn’t care and it was still early enough I could get the same 3 letters with 2 numbers after. Walked away with a nice 5k pocket change. Had I declined it might have ended up in court, but this shit looks like the billionaires club just commanded it.

Kokanee salmon has that red color at some point - if i recall its when they are swimming up stream for breeding and will die at the end.

Hey, with any luck the AI Apocolypse will start soon and these racist backward assholes will die with the rest of us!!

Yay… /s

I think you’re confusing human behavior and build quality with killing machines and worst safety behavior. In 2017, Tesla’s had the safest rating out there and had promise to remove human drivers from the equation. In 2017, that was a good promise to believe - we know better now.

And lease, I leased a car. Not bought. I knew my future didn’t need cars and I live in Spain now, never needing a car again at this rate.

Yeah, 2017 with a 3 year lease and option to buy. Sold it in 2020 when I saw it was going a bit… right. 2020 was an insane year for used cars too, 40k buyout or 50k sale. Uhh, sale please!

Religion, organized religion should be considered a mental illness, prove me wrong.

Anything that teaches hate, promotes superiority, or considers anyone less because they choose to believe (or not) in something else… all for a deity that can’t seemed to be bothered to actually smite those very people religions claims to truly despise…

Being gay is ok. Love to my gay peeps.

If I was in the USA, I’d be 6 months. But I live in Spain, so I’m 13 months but a whole lot less worried.

Yes!!! This is even better. Watch him as he spends days fuming at the tv as they talk about how he was the worst president ever

Vegetables don’t talk, let alone spew toxic word shit

Yep. Most states already do this and have for a long time. It’s not freely accessible and searchable, but you only need to know the information of the person to find more info on the states page.

I’m a socialist liberal who thinks Donald Trump should be struck into a conscious but unable to communicate vegetative state. Ya fuck wits, register that.

Yo! Me too, but I run macOS. and apple isn’t a twat, just yet.

I mean, the pointy bit is away and last I checked it does not matter which way is up if she wanted to stab you as long as the pointy bit faces away. But hey, it’s been a while since I was stabbed and she looks like she got the stabby face. I Might not remember correctly.

I want everyone to realize that they won’t do it just for a dollar, they will do it for as little as a penny. Yes, that’s right, if you die they won’t care because they got a penny and hundreds of thousands more people lived who will keep buying their shit.

This only ends when we fight back.

Yeah, 20 years ago they weren’t a self paid tracker that reported my every action on the web - tracking was minimal and limited. But now maybe not a forest as much as just limiting what tech I have in my house - for instance last week I bought an analaog scale to replace my 15 year old smart one from Withings that has been without WiFi for years.

I also limit how much time I have my phone on my person, or total screen time.

I don’t plan on buying it. I just know I can if there is an emergency. And I take showers as needed, but at least once a day - what a silly accusation to jump to.

But hey, you do you.

Because they don’t sell underwear where you travel to? N+1 is the right answer.

And people wonder why we Americans are so weird when we bring our huge suitcases, packed full of clothes will probably never wear…

Reading this thread has taught me that when I have a girl over and she tells me that I am not a normal male, I really had no idea how much I didn’t do as a male that other men do all the time….

I wear all of my clothes until they show clear signs of being worn out and then determine whether that it should be donated or trashed. And i have one shirt then I’ll probably never throw away and it’s one that I’ve had since the 80s, my goonies shirt.

Dude was a multidimensional being from an alternate future where magic was real and he copied history books. Occam’s razor man, sometimes the simplest answer is the right one. /s just in case.

Nice. Been a while since I’ve seen that. I used mind maps, then structured. This seems like the clean version but mine I could write on a chalk/whiteboard before I hand wrote it in the Harvard format. 2000+ word essays, several pages long, MLA style. Always an A.

Companies claiming 99.9999 uptime is an absurd goal for a SLA, and wouldn’t even survive a small internet outage like a DDoS attack or Akamai outage. I remember in the 90s selling the idea of 5 9’s - 99.999% on my resume until some manager who Interviewed me asked me to state the expected downtime. I stopped claiming that number because it’s impossible without full active redundancy in different locations and not dependent on external providers like cloudflare ever going down.

And please don’t argue maintenance windows “cover it” because that’s not how they work in the real world today.

Downtime per year:

• 99% ~3.65 days (5,256 min)
• 99.9% ~8.77 hours (526 min)
• 99.99% ~52.6 min
• 99.999% ~5.26 min
• 99.9999% ~31.5 seconds

For my home lab I’m happy my stuff is online and content I hardly lose access when there’s a power outage thanks to my ups. But if I tracked I’d be closer to 95%. Good enough but I can’t wait till I just don’t care to run anything.
