I know you mean this in jest, but I’m now envisioning hoards of driverless cars roaming around joylessly hunting down artificial ‘pokemon’ to add to their owner’s collection, whilst the owners sit at home listlessly doom scrolling, waiting for their cars to return, so they can see what ‘they’ caught.

I don’t like it.

This is so very important. Snapshots are very helpful tools, and most if the time they’re exactly what you need to recover. Unfortunately they don’t help when the drive fails, or the machine is destroyed by flooding, or myriad other failure modes (human error nit being the least of them). Remote backups are vital if you want your data to survive those events.

Remote copies of the snapshots are a start, but leave you at the mercy of and bugs in the snapshot system, and usually more critically, you have to transfer the whole snapshot or delta, and can’t exclude data without first rearanging your mountpoints.

Lical snapshots and remote file backups give you the best of both worlds, making it easy to recover your data from pretty much any event.

This is the sort of silly law I can actually get behind, so long as they didn’t spend long on it. It adds a bit of local flavor, and has a positive motive.

That stuff’s delicious, and the cans are great for crafting with.

We need more of this sort of content in the fediverse; slightly mad, hinting at esoteric knowledge, and promising to lift the veil on hithro unknown worlds.

In short, I need to know more about the secret lives of high society avians.

It’s the loss meme (again…).

What ‘delightful’ imagery. “If it was coming out any faster, would still be cold.” just about did me in. Bravo!

I’m trying to do X in programming language Y, are there any libraries for that and can you give me an example"

I found them to be really bad for that in my testing. They’ll happily hallucinate the existance of a library with a vaguely plausible name, spit out ‘sample’ code for it, and then when I ask for a link to the documentation, say “I’m sorry, that library doesn’t exist”. It drives me round the bend!

• Heat a spoonful of butter in a pan.
• Once it’s melted and just sizzling, add about a spoonful of white flour, and stir until you have a smooth paste.
• Cook the roux until it’s slightly darker to give the sauce a richer flavour.
• Add a spoonful of milk and stir until smooth. This is the critical step, but it works out fine unless you let it burn.
• Keep adding milk, a spoonful or two at a time, and mixing, until the sauce is quite liquid and you’re not having to stir much.
• Add the rest of the milk a little faster, still stiring.
• Cook until the sauce is heated through, and bubbling.
• Add unhealthy amounts of your prefered cheese, grated, and keep stiring.
• Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and remove from the heat. It’ll thicken more as it cools.

It seems like a lot of steps, but once you get the hang of it, it’s quick and reliable. The recipies that add flour to a lot if liquid have a tendency to get lumpy, this one cooks the flour in fat first and adds liquid slowly, which pretty much eliminates the issue.

I would have assumed the more intelligence you have the more capacity to understand and worry about problems you would have.

Intelligence gives you the ability to understand these things, and can also give you the understanding that worrying about the things you can’t change is of no benefit and the ability to then put those things aside so you can focus on changing the things you can improve.

That doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s a valuable thing to practice.

You want a break action penis, so you have to manually reload every couple of shots? Nah, you want belt fed, just hold the trigger and go!

That took me longer than it should have…

There’s a lack of chains and other such marks of eternal torment. If we’re going with ghosts we should go the whole way.

Now go and wash your hands…

Kingdom Come Deliverance seems to have that sleep system (I haven’t played it, just watched streams). If you let them get too hungry, your character starts talking about food, and getting drunk makes your vision blury, slightly out of sync with your movements and really unbalanced.

Why is this meme looking at people’s ass lips?

Just one handful each though, got to make sure there’s enough for everybody.

That, or the go all Who Framed Roger Rabbit on him…

There are better things to shame him for.

In a way that’s the very point. They shame people for, amongst other things, what they percieve as sexual deviancy. So, making them realise that one of their own comes up with what they would consider deviant may lead some to reevaluate their position on what is acceptable and/or what they think of him, and whether they keep listening to him. I acknowledge it’s a long shot, but anything that erodes their adherence to these rightwing ‘thought leaders’ is beneficial.
