One would hope that a restaurant inspector could discern between frost and mold.

I consider The Register to be the gold standard in tech journalism. When asked how I keep up with evolving tech, I told the interview panel that any tech news they see on mainstream media was likely broken by The Register 3 days previous, with original sources and quotes from top corporate officers.

Also told them I had followed several tech subs on reddit in the past, but as the site has devolved into bots talking to one another, I’ve turned to lemmy for tech community interaction and advice.

(No, I’m not using lemmy for that so much, but if I land the network admin job I will!)

What a bizarre method of loading! Had to look when forklifts were invented, turns out there were in common use during WWII. I’m not too hot of a driver, but throw that thing on a pallet and I’d have it in there is a minute flat.

Little virgin blood and bat dung, that thing’s hopping around eating people.

Only recently! For the past 10,000 years a 70-year span would not see a single significant change.

(If I mix this up, someone correct me.)

I think it was at Olduvai, or somewhere in the Great Rift Valley, that hominids spent 600,000 years hammering out the same exact stone tools.

lemmy is unusually respectful of differing opinions

Are we talking about the same lemmy?

limited one season shows

That’s called a “mini series”. :)

And BTW, Shogun was the finest thing I’ve seen in years, maybe ever. My wife and I were drooling for the next episode, week in, week out.

I admit to prejudice. Watched the original mini series many times growing up, read the book three times. My wife’s half Japanese, really seems to dislike Japanese anything (🤷🏻), still loved every second of it.

Potatoes are next level though. Or the most basic level. 🤷🏻

I planted a bunch of red potato chunks in some tilled dirt. BAM! Quintupled what I put in with zero effort. Next time I’ll mound them up properly and get a year’s supply off 4 or 5.

Permabanned for saying evil shit about Russians, a few times. Funny thing is how fast they would be on negative comments about Russia.

And BTW, Russians can die in a fucking fire. Lived under threat of nuclear annihilation for my entire childhood, and now the filthy gangsters are fucking with, and have ruined, American politics.

What till Americans figure out where high quality small arms come from. Glock anyone? Beretta, Heckler & Koch, Benelli, Browning Arms Company (yes, Browning), SIG Sauer, Springfield Armory, Taurus (some), Chiappa, and more. And don’t forget our Filipino friends at Rock Island Armory!

Sadly, this part of the tariff shitshow may actually work since we already have plenty of quality domestic producers. But fuck me, the SIG Sauer is the standard US military sidearm and Glock is standard everywhere else. Have fun cop budgets!

Just mash it through with your finger pads, you about can’t be cut.

I’ll tell you exactly what can be done.

Sullivan described a tense scene in which ICE agents pounced on Martell-Lebron without identifying themselves, put him into a pickup and sped away.

SHOOT. THEM.

I’m not being a keyboard tough guy here. My wife is a legal immigrant, and damningly brown. This is a thing I’ve thought about quite a bit.

Unidentified men try to snatch her or get in my house? They are getting killed, best I can. And yes, I’ll likely die as well. I’m at peace with that, as much as I can be. Terror has a way of flipping the table on even the best laid plans.

I almost always have a pistol, rifle or shotgun within reach, and only those guns that are rock solid and with which I practice, and I practice one to three times a week. I’m also prepared for night fighting, quick. Rarely carry except in the woods or somewhere strange I’m unsure about, but that’s going to change. (And I fucking hate it.)

And it’s not just ICE. Been saying for years that once MAGA truly gets the idea that the law does not apply to them, they’ll be forming posses. Perhaps we will call them Red Shirts.

FFS, it’s like no one really studied WWII in Europe. This is happening now. Trump dying will probably take the air out of the whole thing, I hope. But if he remains in power long enough, his people will have strengthened their situation. You know they’re planning for what to do if he keels over with a blown heart.

(Sorry for the rant. Just got home from work and “relaxing”.)

They didn’t quote the judge but he is fucking torqued off.

And what kinda shithole is this? We’re redneck as fuck, and on the bleeding edge of town. I hear nothing but the occasional gun pop from the woods, and you can barely hear that if you’re outside and paying attention.

While we’re telling voodoo tales, The Case of the 500-Mile Email.

Had never heard of this, and my first computer had a tape drive. Went to a tiny computer camp and we had a sweet D&D game, but it took 10-minutes to load, if it didn’t fuck up. Had to start it before our break or we’d only have 5 minutes to play.

You’ll love my comment from yesterday!

probably are planning to have sex

LOL, they’re already fucking, bet on it my friend. :)
