At this point I’m actually curious about the mass of the lorry.

I wonder if we could estimate the mass of a lorry, 2.5 meters wide, 20 m long, 46 billion light years tall. Let’s assume it’s filled with jars of peanut butter.

At that size, it could well be the most massive object in the universe.

Now that I think about it, it could also be too tall, possibly a tipping hazard around turns.

Which time? I mean it’s sort of a time honored tradition…

Which I guess, means that burning the library of Alexandria is in itself an expression of culture.

These bodies are complete shit. Evolution consistently results in biological forms that barely work. That’s what it does, it produces a bare minimum viable product, so that’s what we are.

This jumble of nerves and synapses and hormones and gut bacteria that we call a mind is a huge fucking tangled mess. Truthfully, it’s tragic that we have to live in these bargain bin bodies that break down constantly and often didn’t work right from the start.

I don’t have an uplifting end to this rant.

We’re all in it together?

Bring back Ethernet ports everywhere! Ethernet 4 all!

Seriously dude, I thought we talked about this.

Having typed out long urls by hand, I appreciate the QR code.

That said, they aren’t applicable everywhere, they shouldn’t be used everywhere.

Battlestar Galactica?

Hey, fuck you.

Yes! Let the hate flow through you!

Feel the true power of the dark side!

list of installed plugins.

Yeah, as you said, that’s a pretty serious security issue. That’s a data leak that explicitly lays out the shape of your attack surface. It tells the attacker exactly what additional software your server is running and if any of it includes known vulnerabilities, the attacker now knows how to gain access.

This is a big part of the problem. You can use Plex on PlayStation, xbox, Roku, apple tv, iPhone, android, etc…

The apps are ubiquitous, the coverage is complete. In just about any situation, Plex is a workable option.

Do you know how to rebuild your car’s engine?

Do you know how to remediate black mold spreading on the walls of a houseboat?

Do you know how to compile Linux to run on some custom arm hardware?

Do you know how to repair or rebuild a crumbling stone retaining wall?

There’s a good chance you may not know how to accomplish all of those tasks. There’s also a very good chance you may not care about knowing how to accomplish all of those tasks, as some of them may not be relevant to you. This is ok.

Finally, I know you’re posting on the Internet, but you don’t have to be an asshole, that’s a choice.

It does not, not at all.

I’m up-voting as hard as I can…

Well I do appreciate that response, these are hard questions.

Is abortion murder too? At what point is a clump of cells a human?

This is my favorite sentence of the day.

Yeah, we like to pretend things are black and white, but nothing is simple, there’s always another perspective to view things from.

If anyone else is into stories like these, I do also have to mention “Welcome to Nightvale” and “Alice isn’t dead”.

Dungeons and Daddies (not a BDSM podcast), an actual pay D&D podcast about four dads and a Honda Odyssey accidentally thrown into the forgotten realms.

The players are the writers and director from the rocket jump YouTube channel, they also made a show called videogame highschool. The DM is Anthony Burch, creator of “Hey Ash, Whatcha Playing?” As well as the lead writer behind borderlands 2 (and basically the reason it’s a good game).

I bought it a while back on a friend’s recommendation. I should actually play it again solo, but at the time, I totally hated it; I just couldn’t connect with it. It was way too dark, hard to see what was even going on. And I couldn’t care less about the character I was playing or the gameplay mechanics. To me, it was just a fantasy reimagining of left4dead, but without the fun characters, with unintuitive level design, and just generally feeling kind of sloppy.

I might be being unfair, it’s been a long time since I played it.
