Kind of a niche answer, honestly me and my wife of 20+ years might still be “living in sin” if it wasn’t for her decision to join the military, in order for me to move with her to her home base, we had to be married. It allowed me to visit Alaska which was a great adventure, though I am glad that she is out and we are living normal lives since.

Very nice, though I think I would’ve changed email to hail. Love the energy though definitely have plenty of days like that

I too am polyjamorous

I battled a hairy canine attacking him with water conditioner and forged steel combs for the glory of the empire!

US Marshals report to the DOJ, which is part of the executive branch, all Trump needs to do is instruct the DOJ to stand down.

I resonate quite a bit with this, I just had to take a demotion because of a long term medical condition renders me unable to return to office 3 days a week. I was doing a great job as a Solutions Architect, but since they feel that the role is only good in person and not over technology I had to step down to a senior developer role. Hopefully I overcome this condition but it is lifelong but can be managed, but this feels like the first gate I’ve been hit with since starting to ascend as an IT Professional. RTO is dumb, especially with potential pandemics on the horizon. My wife is complete and total disabled and barely makes it out of our room, so I’m on the hook to bring home the money to keep everything running. It is frightening times in this shit show.

Yeah it’s definitely been handy for me so I can see what game I should play next outside of the current meta of games

Oh definitely, really the UPS on my server only gives the server enough time to shut down services gracefully, and notify other systems when the battery of the UPS is almost dead, and then it shuts the other PC and itself off before battery hits critical. All told that’s like 30 minutes at most

Thanks looks like I’d probably get about 100 minutes at 80 watts of draw. Better than nothing but only a drop in the bucket during storm season around me unfortunately, if storms continue to grow in intensity I can expect at least 1-2 complete overnight outages a year

I have one of those for my home server, how long can a CPAP run off one of those?

Definitely how I feel when the power goes out and I can’t use my CPAP, get absolutely shit or zero sleep, I need to get a generator at some point

Absolutely banks will cut rewards, I know that when there was a law attempting to cap/eliminate late fees banks I am close to were discussing how they would offset the losses and rewards were on the block for that. That law is held up in Texas courts right now so the banks so far haven’t had to worry about it

Good old poisonous water, since water itself has a safe limit, ld50’s exist for pretty much everything

If your running blue throw in displacer kitten and anytime you play an instant or sorcery or any non-creature, you bounce the bird for more p9 copies, then throw in a teferi that gains loyalty on draw and you got a stew going

Yeah I’ve had so many Chevy’s spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren’t, infuriating

That laugh still haunts me. Also the SAM application for text to speech which was pretty good for the era

Oh man that unlocked a memory of some attempts I heard of voices through PC Speaker that weren’t bad but definitely weren’t great lol

Nice I couldn’t imagine playing music on my c64’s 1541 drive the thing made scary knocking noises when it worked properly!

How quickly we forget the chip tunes of the PC Speaker, I used it in a computer lab one day to play a nearly undetectable high freq wave using logo. The PC Speaker was a pretty flexible little speaker

I imagine they’d just force you to do what I had to do to rid myself of bats from my home, seal all of the doors of the roost for 1 years with 1 way doors(so they can freely leave) then after that year you would then be clear to remove the structure
