You’re going to think I am joking but I am not. Multiple people have sworn to me that this works for a common failure mode of HDD drives and I’ve literally never heard someone say they tried it and it failed. I’ve never tried it. Buyer beware. Don’t blame me if you fuck up your drive / your computer it’s connected to / anything else even worse by doing this:

1. Stick it in the freezer for a short while.
2. Take it out.
3. Boot it up.
4. If it works, get all the data off it as quick as you can.

Only $4.85 per month (non commercial; otherwise contact us for enterprise pricing) if you want to keep it working. Very reasonable. Bulk discounts for multiple fonts. Sign up today.

Noooo

This was like the one and only unequivocally nice and productive thing that Google did

If you fuckers take away Google Fonts next I’m gonna take a big shit outside your headquarters see if I don’t

I hadn’t fully been aware of the changeover, but yeah I saw season 7 and it was definitely more coherent and solid and less wandery and desperate than some of the middle seasons, absolutely there was an uptick in quality to me yes

It became associated with aggressive internet shutins bleating about Pickle Rick and the szechuan sauce, although it’s hard to tell where exactly the line was between “these guys are losers yelling and being obnoxious at McDonalds,” and “stop cyberbullying we’re all just internet weirdos who like a funny cartoon and that is fine.” And then, Justin Roiland had some kind of sex abuse allegations and the worm turned and the world is officially supposed to hate Rick and Morty now, I think.

I mean, allegedly. I’m with you; some of it is still some great funny shit.

Please no let’s not start this

I know it’s officially not cool to like Rick and Morty anymore, but I cannot read a description of a suspicious bad thing called “Project Nimbus” that Google is getting itself involved in, without picturing a weird creepy sexual supervillain riding a giant seashell into a meeting with their executives

Bro I’m telling you, you gotta set up your lemmas a little bit and get everything in order before you get to the QED

And anyway Stanislaw Lem did it better

Sir we’ve had some complaints, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave

I think what they are trying to say is that the emotional experience they have when they look at a sunset is similar to the emotional experience that gives them conviction that there is a God. It’s not a statement of objective fact about the universe and its processes; it’s a statement about their mental and emotional life and how they want to feel inside their own head.

Although, maybe they are saying that no one knows how sunsets work and so therefore a wizard did it. I would hope it is that first thing though.

I know another planet that we should be worrying about terraforming through technology solutions first, though

100% serious

Ah, got it.

Yeah sometimes that is the nature of potato love. They live in a world of absolutes and tremendous dangers; they don’t always have time for calm reflection.

I can’t tell you yet. And even if I did, that would just mean you’d become a part of the superposition.

You gotta get the little potato some friends, otherwise they’ll develop mental health issues

Cricut has excellent customer service. In addition, their web site also has one of those chat bots that wants you to explain your problem to the AI, and it worked flawlessly for a fairly complicated problem the one time I needed it. I was pretty surprised.

Appears 😂

Wait, how does that work? Can you do Nix package management on a Debian system or something?

Debian is mine and has been for decades + I’m a little bit happy to see it’s still well represented / well thought of in the community. Everything works, and you can choose new + exciting with headaches sometimes, or old + stable with no headaches but old.

Only real issue is the package management hasn’t kept pace with node / python / go / everything else wanting to do its own little mini package management, and so very occasionally that side is a little bit of a mess

NixOS I would like to try at some point as the core philosophy seems a little more suited to the modern (Docker / pip / etc) era, but I never messed with it

New goalposts I do not have time for but fortunately there are a couple of articles which go into why this is wrong pretty comprehensively.

Edit: TL;DR in addition to normal interest-rate stuff and etc, he raised corporate tax by around a trillion dollars which he then sank into among other things domestic manufacturing and infrastructure, and he staffed the NLRB with actual labor people which enabled them to support a lot of these union fights which have been winning gains recently

I keep saying I don’t have time and then you keep suckering me into swinging at wherever the new goalposts are. That’s really it though
