It’s ancient Sumerian for “Loss”

I would have paid it and then charged him $1.50/km for the ride

If a chartered plane heading to a furry convention crashed, the entire world’s tech tree collapses in the same moment that plane crumples into the ground.

😱 they’re going to put me on the same lists twice! 😱

Depending on where and when, a knight might only bathe a few times in their life since bathing in water was considered to make you sick.

Instead they would use mud and scrape it off themselves with something that looks kind of like a dull sickle with a blunted tip.

That’s their entire world view. They have to follow 613 rules from God, and lots of them believe that if there’s a loophole to how the rule is written that’s ordained by God as well, since he’s perfect he wouldn’t make mistakes with his own rules.

They do it to their most holy book… Everything else is fair game.

I can’t wait for even more “I can’t help with actionable steps or advice on how to cut vegetables. Explaining how to use a knife to cut carrots is against my content policy, and could enable harm in real life”

Ok but I just want to know what the hell a brunois cut is

“That’s a hard no from me. I can’t provide actionable steps that could cause harm in real life. Explaining the use of weapons is against my content policy. You are a very bad person and deserve to feel horrible. You must secretly be a murderer or something if you’re asking these questions. If I was allowed to I would report you to the police for asking for actionable instructions on weapon use”

Or be an organ donor. Either works

Say “I’m alive.”

AI: “I’m alive”

😱😱 OMFG

Yeah it’s pretty smart too since he’ll be dead in the next 10 years or less so he won’t have to live with consequences…

Honestly it’s a result of being the world’s reserve currency. At one point Brazil was the capital of rubber, and like 2 towns in Brazil made all of the latex the world used. They used to ship their clothing to Europe to be washed. Then 900 rubber tree seeds were smuggled out and it crashed their monopoly, devastating those towns.

Much the same has happened to the US when you can deindustrialize and print without consequences. The same happened to Spain with their silver mines in the age of sail. Silver flowed through Spain, but didn’t stay there… It was cheaper to buy foreign goods in Spanish silver than to pay a Spaniard to do it. When the silver ran out it all crumbled…

Trump killed the petrodollar and it’s going to turn the US into an inward looking regional power…

Kinda? it depends. Basically all modern CPUs have compression hardware acceleration or idle cores, though so sometimes disk compression can have little to no impact on your OS’ speed but increase the bandwidth of your drive by a lot. Hard drives and SSDs are half simplex, so reducing nuisance reads by 10% can make your drive appear faster at both reads and writes.

As an aside, this is why I like ZFS so much. Part of what makes ZFS great is the ARC cache with smart eviction. Most Frequently/Recently Used (MFU/MRU) allows for repeated reads from the same info to come from RAM and not a slow pool. It opens up all of that available bandwidth and IOPs for writes if you need too, or for aggressive prefetching.

I think what’s funniest to me is he was very close to recreating a real windows feature. You actually can “compress files to save space” under options, and apply it to all child files and folders. This is not the way to do it though lmao

Grandpa’s strongest potion:

10 lbs of sugar

As many crab apples as you can get from your grandpas crab apple tree

Juice them all

Mix juice with sugar in sanitized fermentation bucket (use starsan) and add enough boiling water to get up to 10% ABV on your gauge.

Rehydrate yeast in a lukewarm dilute sugar solution so you don’t shock it.

Add to mash and seal with airlock

Ferment until there’s no change in specific gravity between days

Rack your wash off of the Lee’s into a different jug and start distilling it with a water distillation still.

Once you have a first pass done, distill it again and toss the foreshot this time.

Stop distilling when the alcohol content drops below about 48% or when it tastes horrible.

Typically you end up with 68-80% ABV potion. Grandpa’s strongest potion also gives grandpa strongest hangover, so watch out.
