We need to make cruise ships culturally embarrassing. An anti-campaign to reduce demand.

Who here is good at writing bots?

I'm not bad in bed. I'm efficient from an evolutionary perspective.

Now give me five minutes and we'll go again.

I would unironically watch two seasons of this anime

He's the fourth in a series of eight superheroes (there used to be nine, but Bruno Pluto retired). They use their rings, and together they create Bruno solar system. They fight crime.

Have some self respect,

Seriously. These stupid ESL fucks need to learn English or get out.

Being an omnivore allows us to get calories from multiple sources, which allows us to live long enough to breed. That's an evolutionary advantage.

After the point of breeding and raising children, evolution taps out.

So something being an evolutionary trait does not mean those traits lead to longevity. But it guarantees we're good fuckers.

I didn't say to eat the cholesterol. Eating cholesterol isn't the primary driver of blood cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are.

Yes, exactly. I got you to engage and be upset, even though you're just here to troll. That's the power I'm talking about. Link in my bio.

Hey man. I looked through your comment history to see what was going on. If you'd like to improve your trolling, I offer a Master class on the subject. It's $250, USD, and I guarantee people will take you a lot more seriously and get even more angry than then do today.

You get a good amount of down votes and engagement, don't get me wrong. But I can bring you to the next level.

You don't support politicians in America. This is a first past the post system. You just begrudgingly vote against the worst one and work like mad to get ranked choice.

for what?

You might not need cholesterol. But that's what brains are made out of.

 

I feel like I'm missing something with this card. I currently use a 2% cash back card, so 3% seems like a simple upgrade. I pay my card off every month without fail, and have for years. This card would use my house as collateral, which poses additional risk if I default.

Has anyone else looked into this or gotten one? Is there some catch I'm missing? I can't figure out how they're making money on this.

 

I have a Precision 3260 Compact (https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/workstations-isv-certified/precision-3260-compact-workstation/spd/precision-3260-workstation/s106dpt3260us_vp) with no standalone GPU. I also have an aging gaming desktop with a GTX 1070 and an i5 inside. I am trying to figure out a way to get the 1070 to work inside the Precision and it's driving me nuts.

The Precision doesn't have a standard micro-ATX motherboard, so I can't simply mount it in my larger case. Even if I could, the pcie slot is much shorter than the standard. On top of that, the GPU is longer than the entire case.

I'm willing to get creative, but I'm out of ideas.

 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

 

I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

 
 

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

 

A fine specimen indeed

 

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.
