I would argue that the Scottish kilt is one of the manliest items of clothing to exist. Its "gender-normative" equivalent is essentially a skirt.

I know, just saying out of all the unrealistic bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth hole, this isn't that unrealistic.

Ah, this makes sense now. I was wondering why it hadn't been updated in a while, that was my only hangup.

George Carlin said it best: ”Pre-born, you're good. Pre-school, you're fucked!"

in under 12 hours the US cleared the entirety of Iran of air defense systems

Given how insanely powerful the US Armed Forces can be, objectively speaking, that's honestly not entirely unbelievable.

I tried reading that book. Couldn't get past the first chapter.

That's a big-ass bruise. If it was a hole, that man wouldn't be standing.

I have that bumper sticker on my vehicle. Hasn't been vandalized yet.

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.
