For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. !traeger@lemmy.world(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)

I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts

As a more manageable and not quite as expensive option: a shorter sail might be most of the adventure you need.

I live in Boston and at one point joined a sailing school/club out of Boston harbor. They had mostly 35’ boats but a few up to 49’. It was so much fun learning to deal with open water, complex boats, crew cooperation.

However the one thing I wasn’t in a position to do …. They organized cruises on the bigger boats: form a crew and sail to the Caribbean! While it’s nowhere near around the world, something like this is a couple weeks at sea and seems like a really cool adventure

Nice. Where do you get one of those for a reasonable price these days?

My first dog, I got exactly that for $4 from a grocery store as a seasonal thing

However, after our second dog was a fiasco, I got rid of that since we weren’t getting another dog.

Now our third dog has not been swimming. She’s a rescue who still reacts against other dogs so we can’t bring her to a lake or dog park. I want one of these pools again to see if she’d take to it, but she doesn’t like to get wet so odds are not in my favor. I think the same pool was $28 last time I saw one, and I’m not interested in throwing away that much money. Almost all “baby pools” I see now are inflatable, which wouldn’t survive a dogs first use. So are there really no cheap plastic pools anymore?

True, you’re not getting to the next galaxy. However within the galaxy, your generation ships only need to work for a century or two per voyage. That’s at least conceivable

Generational ships wouldn’t have to reach the edge of the galaxy, just the next planetary system. There’s no reason civilization needs to remain centered on Earth, either. Think of it as a wave traveling outward, where it eventually reaches the edge, by many smaller hops. It will also eventually reach earth, where they might wonder at signs of a prehistoric civilization. Actually, think of it like the Middle East, where empires rise and fall, crusades and jihads burst through, religions rise out of nowhere, people speak many different languages. A galactic civilization could be dynamic and ever changing, distance can make us strangers to each other, the fate of any planet matter only to its inhabitants and neighbors

Exponential functions. Seriously. You meet crisis after crisis, each having a risk of ending civilization, but that risk never goes away. It keeps multiplying and multiplying, until you realize the risk curve is approaching a vertical line

We already have many cases where a very small number of humans can manage automated services for millions. It’s extremely scalable

While you could argue the electronics and power are also a resource dependency, it again scales extremely well

The problem is buying means nothing about whether it is legit or whether a company decides they want it. It only means you reserved it. Any disagreements are hashed out after the fact in court. It’s not a game that individuals can afford to win vs a corp

Vice: bad habit, especially used as a form of escapism

Yes I’m one of those, my vice is alcohol, pleased to meet you.

You don’t need to be defensive about it: we all need a way to cope with life, something to let off a little steam. But it’s important to recognize it for what it is and be honest with yourself

There are already trends showing economic growth disconnected from both resources and energy. Welcome to the service economy

Granny Smith apples. They have intense flavor and solid crispness, unlike other variety vaguely sweet mushy apples. Most importantly, they’re still good out of season.

Every year I go wild with variety for 1-2 month, then return to Grannies for the rest of the year

Hah, a few walkability and transit improvements to 3-4 cities will cover most of the population of Canada ….

More importantly, it’s quite possible and we have living examples, to intentionally design cities this way and give people more freedom and convenience

But you’re assuming the type of growth will never change.

• population growth is not sustainable and we’re past that point, but knowledge growth is
• resources growth is not sustainable and we’re past that point for many resources, but economies can grow independently of resources

I don’t object to anyone using that, but:

• smoking it stinks up the whole block/park. You need to get a handle on that.
• it’s a vice, don’t pretend otherwise. Be honest with yourself.
• it does seem like a fun vice

It’s getting more and more difficult to turn off the ads and internet noise, so you can actually get useful results

Step 0). Decide if there’s anything you dont want on a common server.

I realized long ago that my projects sometimes stall out partway through. However some things need to just work, regardless of where I am in a project. HA is a great example of something that manages itself (so less advantage to the VM) and that I want always available, so even if I decide to go down a route like you are, HA stays independent, stays available

Worst was the first, I had no clue what I was doing and I’m pretty sure she couldn’t have enjoyed it. Despite being in similar friend groups, we both pretended it never happened and never spoke of it again. Now decades later we ran into each other. To make it worse, she recognized me but had to introduce herself to me. All that cringe came flooding back

No, totally wrong. It’s like driving, where it doesn’t matter if you have the right of way but get t-boned and airlifted to the hospital. You’re playing on the auditors field, you have to play by their rules, use their language, and it’s just not worth insisting you’re right. Apparently your phrasing was accepted or not noticed, but it really seems like playing with fire.

I guess DevOps or whatever the eff DevSecOps is

I’m the guy who helps our coders figure out how to build their stuff, our testers figure out how to automate their stuff, and help them follow good app security practices. Somehow im the expert in Java when they can’t figure it out, the expert in JavaScript, the expert in python, etc, based mostly on my Google skills. Luckily we hired someone else for Kubernetes because I just don’t have time to stay ahead of them. Today someone tried asking for help with Ruby and I had to draw the line

My manager tried to stick me on Windows when I started, but it’s really not supported for Engineering. Our products are all on variations of Red Hat and Amazon Linux, all our technical staff has Mac laptops, and management uses Windows for their presentations and stuff
