Well, when you have a population that can’t digest Washington’s prose…


“awkward Cronenberg creatures” hahahaha
So true.


That means humans developed in an environment where these changes wee happening - so if it could affect us, natural selection would’ve compensated.
Just like how our lungs and cardio system is adapted to our nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere.


Dammit, beat me too it


Yep.
Using a 2019 small form factor Dell desktop as an ESXI server running a handful of VM’s: Windows, Debian, DietPi, etc. I hammer the VM’s sometimes doing video conversion and everything just works.
Best part is it consumes less than 20 watts at idle, and maxes at 80 watts. Hard to beat.


Got my first in for $5


Mimosa just exposes how most champagne/sparkling wine that most people are familiar with just sucks already.
If it didn’t, you wouldn’t mask it’s great taste with orange juice.
Good champagne/sparkling wine doesn’t need that. What bars put in mimosa is the cheap crap that no one should drink in the first place.


I had LOTS before I had one from a friend who really knows wines.
That changed my opinion of champagne as a whole, but most of it (especially in the US, or the Brut style) just sucks.
But that’s wine in general. I’ve had lots of mediocre wine and a few that were fantastic (to my tastes).
Consider all the varieties and vintages, then everyone’s personal tastes, and it’s no wonder opinions are all over the map.


I really wanna try it, just to try it.
I can’t imagine continuing to drink it though.


Not exactly true.


I get mine from a link on diskprices.com
Usually lead to ebay or Amazon - I’m not particular.
They’re almost always used business drives. Oldest one is now 4 years running.
Edit: My major exclusion is SMR, since I’ll be using them in a NAS of some kind (hardware or Proxmox). Today I’m all SATA - if you can, go with SAS, drive costs are lower.


Businesses replace drives and systems on a schedule regardless of true wear on them - their risk vs cost metric is very different than ours.
So used business hardware is a great value for those of us who have a sunk cost in labor/expertise.
Most drives I’ve owned have run for 10+ years, while any business won’t run them past 5. I can take the risk of losing a drive, while it’s more important for a business to prevent losing a drive. Business disruption is a more costly event.


Right?
I used Discord for about 15 minutes (OK, 6 months) before I could no longer tolerate it’s crappiness.


Haha, and here I thought my rationalizations for driving like an ass were pretty bad, but you sir make me look like an amateur sophist!
I how down to the bigger asshole driver, and that’s saying something.


That took me too darn long to get

I pay for it to have more spam accounts. Free gives you like 5 secondary addresses. For $30/year I get 25 secondary addresses.
Edit: they support multiple ways to pay so you can separate your payment info from your account.
Novell??
Holy cow that’s something I haven’t heard in forever.
