Not going to lie, I got excited for the first half of that sentance.

If the guy in the header photo didn’t at some point say “Suck it, Trebek”, I’ll be very disappointed.

I feel like this really is a mini-test for America right now. Orban has been trying his best to rig the election in his favour despite is very obvious unpopularity. He’s behind in polling; and would be even further behind without his fuckery in the background.

So one of two things will happen on April 12th, either the result will be so overwhelming that if he tries to claim it was rigged, it would be an obviously bullshit claim. Or he’ll somehow sneak in with the victory despite being behind the entire time (sound familiar).

Can Hungary overcome his fuckery is a direct mirror to the American midterms. Will Trump accept the results, or refuse to leave. And if it’s the second, will Hungarian people rise up?

Trump is an idiot. The rest of his people vary from incompetent to simply evil.

I’d bet my life that the nuclear briefcase that Trump masturbates to every night is a fake. Someone in his circle has long since clipped the red wire to prevent him doing just that during a midnight Truth Social post.

Don’t let the doorknob hit their ass on the way out.

Worst case scenario is Russia tries to take advantage of the situation and gets curb stomped by a NATO that is roughly 30% weaker but still more than powerful enough to handle the paper tiger that Russia has proven itself to be.

Trump is dead within a year, guaranteed. The GOP will fall to infighting after the cult of personality ends, and when the next president wants to clean up his mess and rejoin NATO, they can be allowed back in without the bullshit VETO that they for some reason have. They can return as an equal, not as a boss.

To put it simply, there is a difference between “intelligent” and “smart”.

Its the entire reason they did a full orbit before firing the lunar injection burn, so that if something was wrong they could jettison the service module and perform a deorbit burn for an early splashdown in the pacific.

Please don’t let it be cancelled and returned early because of a toilet That would just be too much. This is the first thing that has made me legitimately excited since having to unexpectedly say goodbye to my soul-dog last month. I need this, dammit.

You see, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much…

Last Wednesday. We regularly go out to a local pub for trivia night and converse face to face there.

The researchers aren’t sure what the long-term effects of exposure might be

I have a vague idea…

Sharks in the Bahamas Are Full of Cocaine, Caffeine, and Painkillers

Sounds like the beginning of a pretty good night out.

Yep. And boot-lickers of that kind of business ethics will always say “Well that’s capitalism, baby!”

But it’s really not. Capitalism as an economic theory IS those small businesses that are being driven under. It’s human beings making a living from their own labour." Even if that human being is the person in charge and doesn’t set foot on the sales floor (for example), it’s still a human being at the helm.

My goto example for some reason is always furniture, I don’t know why. But someone making bespoke wooden furniture out of his garage because he enjoys it and other people want to purchase it. That’s capitalism.

If that same guy’s product gets so big that he starts a company, get’s a factory, and now has employees making the furniture for him, it’s still capitalism because he built that company with his own sweat and he deserves to reap the benefits of such.

What’s missing from what the bootlckers call capitalism is the human element.

When the human equation is taken away and everything is at the whim of a stock price, it’s not capitalism anymore, it’s called a Corporatocracy. Humans themselves become just another metric on a spreadsheet called “labour”. Something to be accounted for, controlled and minimized for the sake of the share price. Those shares aren’t owned by humans either (for the most part), they’re owned by other corporations and hedge-funds. Humans are so far removed from modern corporatocracy that there’s no room for (or even understanding of) empathy.

There’s a youtube channel called Criminal Core that posts about cases that are solved after ‘x’ number of years and it’s always because of DNA.

Sadly it’s AI narrated, which sucks. I’d much prefer a human. But the stories are interesting in an “Unsolved Mysteries” kind of way.

Watching Unsolved Mysteries on PlutoTV, I like that the producers of the show actually add updates to the end when things have been changed or solved. They could just replay the episode as is, but they make the effort to introduce new updates. I appreciate that from them.

To put it simply, cost isn’t the same for everybody.

Economies of Scale

/e/os/ on a Motorola One 5G Ace.

That would require that I use Gnome. Which would be worse than reinstalling everything.

I used to bother doing all of that too. I just found symlinking achieved the same results without a bunch of manually configuring of mount points.

Me neither. The more I dwell on it, the grumpier I’m getting. Distro hopping is a young man’s sport. I’ve got work to do.

Thankfully, I learned the hard way a long time ago that my files are almost entirely on a secondary drive and my home folders are all simply symlinks to folders there, so I won’t lose any data since that drive won’t be wiped. But it’s just such a pain in the butt to set up everything the way I like it.
