Not how I wanted to see Trump at The Hague, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Trump as Oedipus, immigrants as his father, and the abstract concept of freedom as his mother.

Immigrants and freedom made Trump possible, and managed to avoid him for a bit. Then he comes back, kills immigrants and fucks freedom, at which point, lady liberty kills herself.

Where is Ben Garrison when you need him.

Holy shit, me too. Yeah, I probably should have put and asterisk next to that.

I have very rarely had a bad outcome from speaking honestly and straightforwardly to people that I care about.

I recently wrote a little library that adds some neat little features to enums in Rust. It's tiny, does one thing, and does it pretty well, I think.

One of my favorite actresses. She's exceptional in everything.

The diagnostic criteria and the culture that determines that criteria are both subject to change. lots of things that people consider perfectly normal now would be classified as a disease or disorder in the past.

I can't think of an incident like this off-hamd for myself, but I once dated a woman who didn't know that women have a urethra. She thought the urine just came out of her vagina. She was ~23.

We have reached the limits of what I know on the subject. So, no idea. If forced to make an uneducated guess, I'd say it was probably some combination of environmental factors, a preexisting culture that fit particularly well with horses, and natural variation in adoption of new tech among different groups of people.

I know. I've read them all. I just thought "potentially" was slightly understating the probability of a NSFW Oglaf comic, and it made me chuckle.

I got here after this post was deleted, but I can guess roughly what it said.

Yes, I was an ignorant, bigoted kid raised by street preachers (the people with the megaphones telling people that they're going to hell, for non-americans). I lived in a variety of RVs, partially constructed houses, tents, and, for about eight months, with an honest-to-god cult. Mostly without electricity, running water, and indoor plumbing. No, I'm no longer a Christian, and now have the standard amount of bigotry (maybe even slightly less, on a good day).

Sounds about right.

I recently acquired two used blade servers and a short rack to put them in. I'm planning to use one or the other as the replacement for a media server that died on me a bit ago. The old media server was just a little refurb dell workstation, with a single SSD in it, but the servers have 6 and 8 bays, respectively.

I would like to RAID them so that one drive dying doesn't lose any of my media, and I was leaning towards Ubuntu server as an OS. I'm not sure how to do that, and I'm kind of poking around for info and advice. Hit me with it.

 
 
 

I'm working on a parsing library for mil-std-1553 messages. It's a fun, minimal project that doesn't currently exist as far as I can tell.
