Well, the real YSK is that memory and expansion cards have distinctive positions they should take within each slot, with a detente that holds them in place. Your system will only work reliably if the devices are fully seated.

When you first assemble the system, plug and unplug each item several times so you get the feel of it. There will always be a distinct detente when the device is fully seated. It’s a lot easier to do this exercise with everything out on the bench, rather than mounted in the case when it will be a stone cold bee-atch to reach in and reseat the parts.

I wish people would stop using words like “symbolic”. This isn’t a symbol. Calling it one threatens to dilute the message.

F*ck Ted Faro!

Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.

You’re absolutely right. You’re no physicist.

But seriously, for a practical example of “action at a distance”, consider quantum key distribution.

The famous example you’re thinking of is Jimmy Snyder, aka Jimmy the Greek, a sports commentator and sports betting expert who used to work for CBS sports. He was interviewed as part of a series about civil rights in the US, and the interviewer was sort of expecting him to say something pleasant about black folks’ success in athletics opening doors for education and leadership, etc.

Instead he made some pretty astonishing claims that were intensely racist.

I sign up for Patreons, watch/pay for them for awhile, and cancel several times a year.

In all cases so far, membership benefits have persisted until the end of the billing period.

Maybe the updated TOS language was to cover a future where that doesn’t happen, or it was written by somebody who doesn’t understand how the service actually works.

Something something Stallman was right (about this specific thing, anyway).

Yeah, I use the regular Youtube client more frequently, because my senses aren’t assaulted by a crapass load of thumbnails of dumb stuff.

Walk it off, Snowflaknov!

I was banned from r/food for pointing out that a “homemade breakfast” posted by a user consisted of a frozen hash brown patty, fresh uncut fruit, a sausage link, and a toaster waffle, and I suggested that it seemed like low effort to call that meal “homemade”.

Turns out I was wrong about the waffle, at least the user followed up with a picture of a waffle iron and claimed they made it themselves. Fair dinkum, I wasn’t going to press the point.

A couple of days later I had a multi-paragraph screed from a mod where they went through my post history and complained about things I posted to other subreddits, like r/hotdog, and a permanent irrevocable ban.

You do good work.

It might be possible to live off fruit, but in the end, “food restriction resulting in significantly low body weight” is the definition of anorexia.

I don’t claim to know if she put her health in a compromised state or not, but look at recent pictures.

That’s a paddlin’

But… they don’t think it be like it is.

I don’t think about r/Place at all.
