If your great grandfather is 84, and you’re old enough to be posting on reddit…it seems you have a family history of youthful virility.
You’re going to end up with a new first cousin twice-removed, if great-gramps doesn’t remove first.

3·2 days agoAs someone from the class of 2003, the numbers are definitely going down. Can’t tell you anything else about this graph though.
Thinkpads are objectively good laptops tho. At least T series.
Especially for linux.

7·3 days agoYes. Water is most definitely not rated for sub-freezing temps.
Though the stronger stuff helps clear ice off your windshield faster…especially on those mornings when you’ve got that smooth sheet of ice that doesn’t want to be scraped.

American defaultism. Also the only group I’ve watched age in real-time.
I’ve got chickens. Some of them make the same sounds a lot of Americans make if you offer them a salad.
Can’t tell if that’s Robotnik or Farva.
To be fair, Asians are both gifted genetically with regards to skin and aging (thicker dermis, more collagen) and Culturally.
Culturally, a lot of Asian groups are serious about skincare, and a lot of Asian cuisine is rich in Vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and low in saturated fat.
This is very unfair with comparison to Americans who bawk at the idea of sunblock and vegetables, and treat saturated fats as a dietary staple.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Waiting for Capitalism to collapse, so we can get this over with to reverse the climate change and have nice memes, technology, games and the good ending
3·3 days agoWell that makes the problem even more blatantly obvious…the problem is social hierarchy. It’s impossible to have equality and hierarchy simultaneously…they are mutually exclusive.
They (the ruling classes) are vastly outnumbered, yet they manage to gain control over the masses below them, such that we must support them or the whole thing crumbles.
They’ve got the supporting class believing that we need them…but really that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The problem is, though, as soon as one ruler is gone, another replaces them, and that one is equally corrupt. And the cycle repeats.
But conversely, I don’t see how a non-hierarchal society could function, because that implies there must be some sort of order, mediation, and enforcement, which automatically means that some people will have authority over others, no matter how you slice it.

4·3 days agoWe really need the death of money more than we need the death of capitalism. Because you’re right, even before rampant capitalism, we still weren’t really great to each other.
What’s amazing to me is I’m perfectly content to live and let live. My neighbors, friends, family, all of us…ain’t got no beef with anybody. Why does this fail so badly when scaled up?

67·3 days agoI had to rent a car from Enterprise during a mild snowstorm.
I picked it up the night before and brought it home (work paid for the rental, I didn’t want to put miles on my car).
They had filled up the wiper fluid with water, so my wipers wouldn’t work. Frozen solid.
Swung by the rental agency on the way to my trip to complain and swap out the car.
Next car was fine for like 30 minutes but then it stopped working again. Frozen solid.
I guess some idiot decided to top up all the cars with water. Which doesn’t work so well in the wintertime.
ETA: for those who don’t know driving in the snow…you often need wiper fluid. Especially when the road has a mist of salty, sandy water on it from melted snow + sand/salt trucks.

91·3 days agoI think if someone’s coming from an unchallenged experience of masculinity that when people ask for accommodation they feel it as a personal attack because they never had to expend a single calorie of energy on it before, and now someone is asking them to.
This is it.
Equality feels like oppression when you’re privileged.

5·4 days agoMy chickens do this too. Its called a dust bath. Its an integral part of their self-care routine.

This one’s in dirt right now but most of them really love my kids sandbox if I let them out of their area. They treat it like a spa. Good thing my kids are too big for a sandbox now.
She was really in it though…stretching out those feathers and getting it in the little crevices. Rolling around. Just having a grand old time.

Lol that’s only because your windows admins are constantly playing defense against MS always introducing new “features” in “minor” patches.

I haven’t seen an FDD header on a motherboard since my P6T (with an i7-920). And even then, it wasn’t worthwhile to use it.
Do you have a usb-fdd adapter? Or just a USB internal floppy drive?
