You should be doing that anyways

They do control who votes on our behalf though. Citizens vote through a proxy, not directly for any given candidate. And our representatives can technically vote however they want.

As a professional IT guy, I love to show my users their uptime after they lie to me about how they already rebooted their computer and it still isn’t working right. Yesterday I showed a user her uptime of 152 days which is impressive considering the city she works in has worse average electrical uptime than the state of Texas.

It’s the lane assist I believe. If it detected you using the land assist too much, it will send you those alerts. Essentially, you either drive too close to the lines, weave in and out of them too much, your sensors are bad, or your city has bad lines lol. You can turn off lane assist in every Ford I know of. Usually a button on the turn indicator stick. Check your manual though.

Just like, do it though… It’s not gay to pleasure yourself anally. It’s also really amazing to have a partner brave enough to do it for you. Normalize pleasure. Destigmatize exploring your body.

This is just saying they’re an Ubuntu vendor now. They ship preconfigured with Ubuntu as an option.

Do tell us more about what people should think and feel to qualify as adults from your perspective. Only because, up to now, nobody asked.

So like, another open source competitor to LM Studio and OpenWebUI? Roadmap lists Ollama support. Honestly, this is pretty cool. I’m not sure what all the whinging in this thread is about. Are y’all mad because it’s AI related? This is specifically a tool for you to use AI without needing to pay the data centers or the proprietary enterprise AI companies… Self hosting an LLM is exactly what we should be doing with it.

I had a forklift certification and got a job at an ewaste recycling facility moving pallets of equipment meant for refurbishment and resale. That job had a lot of down time so when I wasn’t moving the equipment I took up working on the computers, then the laptops, then the servers. I got so good at it that they gave me an ITAD client to handle. It was military servers that had been decommissioned. My job was to identify and sanitize/destroy any data storage before refurbishing the equipment to be resold at a profit share with the organizations I was working with.

IT is a super broad field. Many IT jobs just want you to have some certification level to get into (no degree required) or some number of years in similar work. My first “IT” adjacent position, I secured because I had a forklift license. Some IT positions want you to have bachelor’s or higher in a specific IT niche.

I like to tell some of my clients, that I’m like a general physician, I can tell you what’s wrong, fix quite a few things, prescribe fixes for the bigger issues, and refer you to specialists for things I have no business touching.

The thing is: transforming into a solid is usually caused by removing energy from matter. The real reason steam is so great is because we put energy into it to make it steam and when the steam turns a turbine, we are converting that chaotic energy into directional, controlled energy.

It was a social norm to call black people the N word for generations… Social norms do not define good or bad behavior. They define what people find acceptable. Socially, the word you wish to be acceptable has made more and more people uncomfortable and has in fact become less and less socially acceptable to use casually. Many words you used to use are weird now. Growing up we used to say “frick” unironically. These days it would be a little strange to toss that in as a filler word. It’s the same concept except for the fact that the word has not become a slur, it’s just been outdated in its use.

Language evolves and words become acceptable and others become unacceptable. It’s the way it goes and is not a sign of sensitivity, instead a positive sign of progression of language. You are fighting against the nature of how language develops.

The phone makers want your data just as much as the government does. Data is money and power.

I do this from time to time but with bison. I will casually slip “flock of bison” into a conversation hoping someone corrects me to “herd of bison”. So I can say. “No I hadn’t heard about your bi son. You must be so proud.”
