Yeah, that's a critical difference between social democracy and true socialism. Socialists are against exploitation anywhere in the world.

I believe they're called homunculus. I couldn't find too much on them, but here's an article. https://www.thecollector.com/baby-jesus-in-medieval-religious-iconography

Neoliberals, and even more so social democrats, are among the most (effectively) conservative candidates in a certain sense. With the understanding that pure capitalism is so unsustainable that it will eventually destroy itself, social democrats, by undoing some of the harm caused by capitalism, only seek to conserve it.

Of course, I think they're (social democrats, not neoliberals) a better choice for now, since they don't work to actively harm the working class. But in the long run, they are what's keeping capitalism afloat. I don't know what's the way to escape the clutches of capitalism without causing complete societal collapse, but social democracy ain't it.

Yeah, that's the unrealistic part. The sister would've known how he is and asker her kid not to bother uncle.

Man, I know it's wrong to hate a whole country and its people. But Israelis are making it harder for me to stay reasonable. There doesn't seem to be single thing that they've done in the past few decades that's not horrible and disgusting.

I think you're reading way too much into it. We Indians (most of us, people in the South often flip it) write our names similar to the west i.e. family name last. But we definitely have a "family first" culture.

I just started reading The God of Small Things. It's been on my list for a while. But I have to read so much for my work (I'm a math researcher), that I rarely have the energy to read fiction. Thanksgiving break gave me some free days, and I guess that worked out well.

OTOH, man, it's sad to see SDF going down so frequently. Anyone has any recommendations for alts? I just want decent uptime, and lax federation policy. (I like to choose who I block.)

Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That's one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here. It's hard to find anyone so full of themselves.)

That said, if it works for your needs, it's a great app. I won't judge anyone for using it, but I'm someone who can't and won't separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you've been warned.

On Android, you should try out Tempus.

To anyone saying they're happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won't come for you too?

Yeah, I got an 80% off deal via mail. This offer was showing up for me, but I couldn't use it, just like OP. I had to use the specific link I got in the mail.

Yeah. We usually consider lawyers, doctors, tech people, academics at fancy universities etc. to be rich. But in the grand scheme of things, they're upper middle class at best. The real rich are all people with generational wealth coming from businesses.

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny (10FL) which has been working fine. Recently, I had an HDD failure, and replaced it with an SSD. This time, I decided to go with ZFS (single drive, kinda pointless, but I get scrubbing). Every once in a while, I'm getting errors while scrubbing. It's always 1-2 read or write errors. And it never reappears if I clear the error and run another scrub.

The data isn't important, and it's backed up, so I'm not too worried about it. But, the symptoms make me think that it's an issue of the SATA port inside? Is it possible to replace the SATA port inside this device. I wasn't able to find anything like part number etc. online and it looks like I need to replace the whole board. Any help is appreciated.

I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.

Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it's waaaay exaggerated in movies. I'm a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.

 

I'm trying to pull manual shots from my Breville Bambino, and it simply isn't working. I'm following the steps in the manual. (Press and hold the double-shot button for pre-infusion, then release it for the extraction to start, and then press again to stop.) The issue is, the machine stops midway, before I press the button. Seems like it's doing the pre-programmed double shot volume, and stopping after that. Does anyone has experience pulling manual shots from this machine? Should I contact Breville for a repair?

Edit: It fixed itself after performing a factory reset.

 
 

I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might've just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they'd have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.

In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there's any point in keeping this list.

Here's the list.
