For sho, I saw my parent struggle to the max to get back to healthy weights (for pressurized air diving, you need so much lead on your belt to pull an obese human deeper under water), so when I detect weight gain I’m very motivated to adjust my lifestyle immediately to correct it. I have thanked them multiple times for this perspective, it might have saved me from investing so much effort in weightloss over time.
Hear hear! We’re all witnessing what can happen with something nice, if you nurture it and keep improving, slowly, instead of the new pattern of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish or insisting on extracting maximum value. Modern Wikipedia is often rich in content and fun to use. I love it :)
IRL i’ll say ‘online search’ or ‘internet search’ now, and no one ever asks me about that or tries to clarify with ‘google?’, so the message seems to be coming across just fine.
Being sentient but mortal feels pretty unfair.
I worked in high end (food/event)service but my employer at the time had very diverse partnerships, one of them was offering this service and had the programmers themselves be present at the auctions too. But then they grew and couldn’t fill all requests and we struck a partnership. I fit right in because of my above average IT knowledge in comparison with other service colleagues.
There’s a ton of offline"-online" auction services now a day, live bidding whatever you call it. You could google a couple of them inform them of your interest.
The job itself was fun, so many objects I had never seen before! Very cool. It was also stressful, auctioning is live and sometimes the lot being auctioned off is worth a lot. Super fun to see your live-auction-system shit itself right in the middle of a 3 way bidding war
Hmmm, maybe it was 800yo instead of 800 bc or something, excuse me, but definitely Aztec!
I worked at auctions, being the offline ‘online’ buyer, so people could use me as an in person bidder for that online platform. I saw a 3500 800 ish year old tiny Aztec sculpture go for 260 euro, around 2015. I was like, do I need to call the cops? What is happening?
Well, reading this and the rest of this thread, I can’t think of anything else. Since you ruled out pretty much everything else, I would now put my money on one of the parts shorted during cleaning… anecdotally I’ve heard parts dying by shorting them with your fingers, but it never happened to me, so that would be pretty unlucky.
Last time I did a cleaning of a particularly dusty system, a dustbunny flew in the PCI-e port without us noticing (it was dark and circumstances were not ideal). With the GPU Re-inserted, that was enough for the system to behave similarly to yours, but you re-seated everything so… That would eliminate this as a possibility.
You could share a photo of the current situation, a top down of the mobo? Eliminate chances you are missing something by secondary means(as opposed to just text)?
Did you maybe unseat the tiny power switch/activity led front panel cables?
Fantastic! I’m reducing my dependency on for profit entities every day, and federation is a great means to that end. Let’s welcome those moving over during the exodus!
It’s a pretty funny picture, but why would the bad folk get to go in the cave? It feels to me that most caves would have been highly desirable locations back then.
Burnout symptoms? Chemical dependence not being satisfied? Hormones?
Aaaaaaw yeah! looks and feels great!
I heard the US military swears by a bodyscan meditation exercise. That works for me, or at the very least calms me way down. Sometimes I’ll try and take a short walk through the night, because I love it, but thinking about leaving the bed an getting ready for outside makes me very sleepy :) . Good luck falling asleep, unwanted awakeness is super boring and gets old really quick.
We need a distinct name for what you link, because of al the rightwing wifebeaters hijacking the country music name… NeoCountry? Vs Conservacountry??
Maybe that’s how this smart tax strategy got uncovered?
You’ll never believe this one crazy Swedish law that most modern tax codes also have!
Nice, I’m excited to learn more about these DNA defense mechanisms!
Just?
