Whoa. Blast from the past.

Das ist nicht genug Knoblauch. MOAR!

I thought that they tried too hard to align with Quake 3’s twitch-gaming.

Giving away the only UT game that matters? Wow.

I think that the answer to that is a solid “maybe”. Damage to materials by energy (heat) is a two dimensional thing; energy input and time. Before a certain temperature threshold, your thought probably is correct. Whether that threshold is equal to the settings available on your dryer and whether it is practical are further questions that will probably vary with the fabric in question.

HFCS in everything.

I haven’t used Windows personally in about 15 years and professionally in about 10. I’m pretty useless on anything newer than XP. I even got my wife to switch over to a Mac Mini because at least that has a Unix-like OS and she can still do her audio work on it (in fact, better than a Windows system because their patch QA is light-years ahead of the MS “fuck it, it’ll break some systems but we’ll get that next patch Tuesday” approach).

That’s not to say that I like Apple. I just dislike their OS less than Windows.

Exactly.

Looks like we’re setting up an improvised KVM device! :D

I just tell them that I only deal with Linux and that is usually enough to dissuade.

When fencing, left-handed people have the significant advantage of being able to dramatically switch their rapier from their right hand to their left hand, mid-combat, and announce that they are not really right-handed.

It’s both. Domestic cats are social creatures. They possess at least rudimentary Theory of the Mind, so, understand that we are other beings, not objects. They identify their family unit through sharing and intermingling scent.

Cats are very scent-based, especially up close, where their eyesight is poor. This is observable when a cat displays aggression towards a “friend” who has the smell of the vet or a bath. From far away they look right but up close, they smell wrong - it’s like a feline uncanny valley.

It is literally what they’re promising.

And I’m childless, not by choice, and sadly glad too.

Adorable rats were much needed.

Oh that makes more sense. I probably took you too literally.

Without the chroot, that’s how shared webhosting works but it can be hundreds or thousands of sites, depending on resource usage and server capacity.

I intend to. I refuse to die in old age, wasting my life working to support shareholders. Have a good few decades left to even be close to that though and I hate it.

For a final time, this is still repeating the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. The only options available were Dems or GQP facists. There were no other options. Choosing to not vote or vote third party was a choice to not oppose facism. Full stop.

“Genocide” or “no genocide” were not options of any statistical possibility. The only possible outcomes were Dems, who at least made half-hearted statements of opposing, OR GQP fascists who want genocide to occur at a much larger and faster scale in more places and prevent anyone from removing them from power while openly stating their intent to oppress all LGBTQ+ people domestically and abroad (foreign aid will be contingent on oppression), women, non-christians, and political opponents.

Outcomes are factual, measurable things. Moral purity dick-measuring contests have no impact on reality or human suffering. Your moral purity means absolutely fuck all to those of us who have already lost people or have friends and family on suicide watch because of people too high on their own egos to care about how their choices impact others. I’m sure that it was extremely moral to hand over the entire government of a nuclear power to fascists on a silver platter, without even pretending to offer resistance. Hey, at least you can sure off your gargantuan morality-peen, right?

Why don’t you or anyone using the “morality” excuse for not opposing fascism call up The Trevor Project and explain to them how it’s really for the greater good that you chose to allow the election of those with intentions to murder and oppress those that they are trying to save? I’m sure they’ll be overjoyed and applaud the size of your morality-peen.

You cannot morally justify voting for Harris unless you can justify her ongoing role in the genocide. No one else running for president came close to playing such a role and, of course, there’s nothing immoral about abstaining.

Your reasoning is utterly bunk and, again, Denying the Correlative. The choices were D or R. Status quo and attempts to softly change 70 years of foreign policy was the Dems. Full-blown genocide of the Palestinian and Ukrainian peoples, ending democracy, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, minority rights, labor rights, and any action to combat climate change was the Reps. There were no other choices possible in the FPTP system. None.

We’ve seen that non-voters allowed rightward shifts in the Overton Window for half a century, rejecting every bit of statistical data that showed this to be the case. That’s done now. Selfish desire to feel morally pure has permanently altered humanity’s course for the worse, accelerating atrocities and climate collapse.

The choice was “try to reform the status quo” OR “drastically increase global human suffering and oppression of marginalized groups”. The “genocide or not” was nothing but propaganda to help the far-right win so that they can play out their doomsday cult’s fantasies.
