My hero, thank you!

Can I ask how you do that? I have some debian and fedora boxes I should configure for that

They could also just use a delay. I know sometimes they queue up like 15-20s locally, and the producer can hit a button to just dump the last second or two of feed (eating into your delay buffer) as a method of censoring. Much easier on sensitive ears.

Is that a real mod, or are you just describing Counterstrike?

To be fair, only the richest artists can self produce a US nation wide tour. It’s often not up to the artists themselves.

And even then, they’d be super limited on where they can play. Any major venues that uses ticketmaster also signs an exclusivity agreement to do so (I guess maybe that might possibly go away depending on how a trial goes in March, but don’t hold your breath), so good luck holding a big show when no arena is going to risk their contract for a single show.

I’m never happy to pay those fucks, they’re just a legal Mafia who controls all the major venues that the bands I want to see play at.

I got to local shows every so often, but I don’t really have a local scene like I did before I moved, so I just don’t go to concerts much anymore.

Nevertheless, there have been cases of brain dead people’s body adapting to the lack of central nervous system

We’re they on life support, or do you have an example of it happening without any outside assistance?

so the body is more independently alive than we tend to give it credit.

Being able to biologically adapt to a different control mechanism is cool, but it’s not necessarily ‘alive’ depending on your definition. The biological mechanisms may still fire, but that doesn’t mean that you’re doing anything more than keeping a meat sack functioning while it otherwise atrophies.

to wait (its not a matter of life an death, right? And if it was one better be contacting a doctor or the police)

I had a friend person I knew who ghosted my wife and I randomly and she stopped showing up to the job they shared (that my wife helped her get). She regularly rode around town and had been clipped by cars more than once, so we were really concerned. After getting no response for weeks, and checking her place multiple times with no response, we did a wellness check. She was fine. I tried to get a few things back since we weren’t going to be friends anymore.

You know what that crazy bitch did in response? Filed a restraining order against me with no additional communication. Made up a whole host of accusations of stalking and spying and shit. Thankfully, once I provided the screenshots of my call and chat history, the judge saw through her lies and dismissed the charge entirely. I’ve only ever seen her once or twice since then, and I made sure to turn around immediately because the last thing I wanted was for her psycho ass to have an opportunity to fabricate more lies against me.

TL;Dr - police wellness checks aren’t super great when you’ve been ghosted

Good luck arguing that a missed config counts as an ‘unforeseen issue’. If they go that route, people will be all over them for not being SOC compliant wrt change control.

99% uptime in a year gives you 3.65 days of downtime, which I think would still be within SLA (assuming nothing else happened this year). Though, once you get to 1 9 reliability (99.9%), you’ve got a shift and change you can be down before you breach SLA.

If their reliability metrics are monthly, 99% gets you less than a shift of down time, so they’d be out of SLA and could probably yell to get money back.

I’m SURE you have said many things the mainstream would call gross. Maybe not necessarily hateful and vile ontop of that, but gross and ostracizing worthy to some none the less. Would you be OK with people ostracizing you for less than what they’ve said?

Yeah, but most of the time those views are just that people deserve to have food and shelter and not sell themselves to corporations so they don’t die. And if that’s what I get cancelled for, so be it.

I’ve seen what the mainstream celebrates, and I’m not about it for the most part.

On top of that, if they knew their messages could’ve been leaked… do you think they would’ve said it in the first place? They WOULD be thinking it, but you wouldn’t know.

Lol, that’s really funny, considering this quote from the leaked chats

If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked fr fr

They knew this was a possibility, and said it anyway. This is how these people really think, and I’m not sorry to see them ostracized for having disgusting views.

Regarding the situation at hand, I wouldn’t want my private chats shared, but if they got shared, they worst people would see is what hobbies and kinks I have. Never once have I said something about starting up the gas chambers again or praising Hitler, cuz I’m not a piece of shit.

At that point, just use the SSD for your Linux install and not worry about windows windows-ing and fucking up your boot loader.

The only time I ever got fired was because the new girl asked me why I worked at the taco shop and I answered because they pay me. The boss heard about it and canned me for it a few days later, but I wasn’t too mad, I hated the bitch and her entire family. They were rude and racist and just unpleasant to be around, which is hard when the family owns the business and works there too.

One of the libraries in my area carries all of that, tho stuff like the cricut and 3d printer requires you to go to some class, but I haven’t because they only offer them during business hours.

Depends on the workplace. All of them have a bit of drama, IME, but most aren’t nearly as bad as highschool. But I have had a few employees who were absolutely that bad tho.

Just don’t circumcize your kid. I am and didn’t do it for my kid, and even if he has issues, it’s his choice to make the body mod if it’s wanted. Kids will always have some kind of issue or get made fun of for something, no reason to snip the tip of his penis off unless it’s needed imo.

Find a podcast that’s just on the edge of interest and boredom. When I can’t sleep, I listen to newsmedia criticism podcast, and more often than not I don’t make it through one episode before I fall asleep.

I use the middle chorus from Gloryhammer’s Masters of the Galaxy, and it’s worked really well for a while. But I’m thinking of changing it to the opening of Powerman 5000’s Bombshell

If you haven’t already, spin up a VM or partition and start using it. I cutover this year, and I used a new disk with Bazzite and I still technically dual boot, but I boot that windows partition less than once a month at this point. But the more you use it and get the feel for it, the easier the transition becomes.
