The main thing is to keep track of your own IQ  the negative range (-22 to 0) was included for just that reason  |

 quite hard to see but this soy sauce has almost all dried up and solidified. just add water and should be fine, right? You should definitely drink it and youtube it ftw |

that is good advice. and considering the sucker shot covid dealt us its probably way to soon to say we are ok even if it seems we can can ride it out. im just glad most of us are even still on our feet at this point. |

You know, something I realized this evening:
If (and this is an if) my company were to order me to go back into the office, because I have bitcoins I can tell them to fuck themselves. Been thinking about this and realized that people may be asked to choose between their job and their life....
I'm glad that choice is a simple one to make. And bitcoin is a part of that. Wealth gives you the freedom to make decisions, and I can't think of a more important decision one can make.
You have ‘f*ck you money’, a powerful weapon that can be used when really needed. They say it is good for your career as well because you can say No and speak your mind. People in debt are dependent and therefore predictable silent worker bees, just as companies and banks like it. I agree with this idea in theory, but surely there may be a lot of guys that have "almost 'fuck you' money" rather than enough to really and realistically be able to say fuck you. I am not blaming anyone because it takes a long fucking time to reach actual "fuck you" status, and the system is kind of designed in such a way that makes it really difficult to really say fuck you, until you are overly prepared. In other words, your cushion has to be really BIG because on an ongoing basis we are so tempted, also, to be indebted to the man in one way or another because we tend to want to live beyond our means. perhaps we need a new term for a somewhat lesser amount, like say a "piss off" amount of wealth. i should explain (or try to). i am not at "fuck you" level. my cushion is not huge. but it is wide (diversified). to the point where when covid blew the economy away and my traditional investments tanked (and corn to a point too) i didnt blink an eye. about the only thing i did was double check my reserves and tweak them a bit.. as lightfoot (i think) mentioned, a year long pandemic was not in my plans. and im no doomsday prepper, i just do like to be prepared for what i can foresee. so ive been blessed enough to be able to step up my donations to the local food banks, animal shelters and church. perhaps this pandemic and the resulting mess will deplete my reserves.. i certainly wont count that out. so i cant really say "fuck you" to this mess but i can tell it to piss off. for now. |

Must have been more than a week since I played Zaxxon from datasette (the cool guys run it from floppy nowadays) my buds and i wasted more time playing Archon on the c64 than just about anything else i can remember doing from back in the day. wore out several joysticks just on that one game until i bought the Big Red Stick (i think that was the name) best game ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon:_The_Light_and_the_Darktime to fire up an emulator. maybe build an proper arcade cabinet. |

still rockin my TRS-80 and C64 cassette drives.
Oh those times... LOAD ZAXXON,8,1
<10mins waiting, enjoying sound of tape slowly moving>
LOAD ERROR
Afternoon spoiled. oh man yup, C64 fun times. the TRS-80s displayed 2 asterisks when loading from tape, one blinked whenever a <CR> was read. i remember building a filter for the cassette recorder i used. you kept fiddling with it till the 2nd asterisk blinked more or less regularly. EDIT: wasnt the 8 for the disk drive and the 1 meant load at a specified addy provided by the program (not the standard addy it would default to if it was BASIC or something).. been a while. |

You guys with your stacked terabyte HDD’s. I’ll stick to the 1.44 MB not so floppy disks, conveniently strung together with a little help of ARJ. Even has a read only switch for eternal storage. Who needs blockchains.
you techies with your advanced devices. pfffft still rockin my TRS-80 and C64 cassette drives. my Columbia IBM clone has a cassette interface too but i never used it. those full height 5.25 floppies were the bomb. EDIT the TRS-80 also had several 8 inch floppies hooked to it at one point. |

I took delivery of 28 TB of spinning hardness today. Nothing gets my watery sap rising more than quality storage these days.
your wallet.dat file is that big? nice I was thinking pr0n collection. your pron fits in 28 TB? you need to step up your game |

[...] but I've only ever had one mechanical HDD fail and that was after 12 years. I'll take them odds.
more or less the same here. just never power mechanical drives off and they last so long they are pretty much useless capacity wise at that point even though theyre still going. |

oh totally, I have yet to see a compelling reason to move off my hotrodded X58 setup; 48G of RAM, nvme boot drive, 1080ti, it does what I need
Nice setup. My daily driver is still an i7 4770K, 16GB RAM, 1080ti. i5 3570k, 16gb, several ssds and a 1080ti. runs my valve index fine (for the most part). but its time for a dedicated vr build soon. |

Plastic bags were never meant to be used as a single use product, human laziness has brought us to where we are currently, at the time of the invention, plastic bags were thought of as such that they could save the world, (since paper bags needed wood aka trees needed to be cut), and were much stronger and durable, making them reusable, but nahh why would you reuse a plastic bag when you could just throw it away and buy a new one for 5 cents right?
no one says they cant be reused for other stuff (i do and so do most all peeps i know.. after all they are pretty handy). just dont bring a dirty used one into the place i buy my food please. and of course dispose of them properly. so for packing and carrying my food? pristine new ones only. btw its ecologically cleaner and less wasteful of raw materials (includes energy and chemicals needed) to make single use plastic bags than to make recyclable ones. that includes paper bags too i believe. if i find the link ill post it. |

Cities are lockdown and if it continues for another month, looting and killing will be another problem.
Yes, the level of crime is growing, because many people do not have stocks of money, and if they are left without work, they often have the choice between starving to death or committing a crime to buy corny food. And only the help of the government, primarily food, can help with this. At the same time, both the manufacturers of the products and the people themselves are in the plus. logistics is the problem. food is rotting on docks, on farms, and other places where they cant realistically get to where the starving people are. so milk is dumped, crops plowed over. food animals euthanized. etc. unreal. this is what "just in time" logistics does if the slightest thing goes wrong. disaster. back up plans? you mean plans that cost MONEY just to save people from starvation? lives arent worth it when mamon is your god. |

tree huggers must be going ballistic here. after fighting seemingly forever to ban single use plastic bags in favor of those reusable recycled ones (you know the reusable ones people put on their filth infested floors/counters and such at home, then bring back to plunk on a supermarket checkout) they have now banned those disgusting germ ridden bags and brought clean, sanitary single use plastc bags back. by law.
they should of thought about how filthy most people are before all that reuseable bag shit was law but treehuggers and such arent really known for thinking things through.
 of course proper disposal is a must too. stupid is stupid i must admit. we use ours to bag cat poo (among other things) and dispose of properly in the trash. |

The new rage was these arrays of dispensers for rice/oats/beans where you bring your own bag and pour out what you want.
I guess that's out of the window now. Maybe idk
anyway so many industries going up or down in the next few months

as we see here often, many Americans think the virus is imaginary and they can just shoot it if they see it.
while i have a fondness for small caliber weapons, i dont think any of my stuff is that small. |
