Urist

Some of those nodes are broken, it’s got coolant leaks and the processors are 8 years old. I read in another article they meant to replace it a couple years ago but couldn’t due to COVID supply chain problems (makes sense tbh).

What I’m saying is, it might be “assembled” already but due to the power draw, you definitely don’t want to run something this out of date. It’s huge. Might be a logistical problem to even get enough juice for this thing. Another poster pointed out it might need its own electrical substation. IMHO it’s only worth parting out. Far too expensive to run.

Those cabinets look nice though, with the Cheyanne graphic on the front.

Mexico attacked the US like Hamas attacked Israel

Bad comparison. Mexico is an independent nation recognized by the UN. No nation disputes it’s sovereignty over it’s lands.

Palestine is dependent on Israel. Israel controls the flow of people and goods from it’s borders. Israel controls electrical power to Palestine. Israel geographically surrounds Palestine.

One actor holds all the cards here. One actor has the power to improve conditions in Gaza (people don’t generally choose to support violent militants for no reason) and chooses to bomb it.

…that’s fine. Kind of boring though.

Think about it: do you really think Bethesda can expand this universe in a way that wouldn’t come off as stereotyping or downright racist in another nation? Could they make a story that’s interesting and authentic? Their writing has been pretty bad lately. They’re just not up to it.

Nueters

Oh no

how do you pronounce this? Noiters? Nooters?

Edit: it’s very nice, neat idea

I agree. I think what we’re seeing is a lot of Americans being failed by society writ large. Corporate America no longer upholds their side of the social contract (working 40hr doesn’t always guarantee enough money for a person to support themselves, let alone retirement or healthcare). They’re dumping all this money into politics to push their own narratives, and it’s blatantly obvious they’re doing it.

Why trust the process when the process is bad? Of course misinformation is everywhere. Misinformation is a symptom of our societal failures here, the internet and 24hr news is just the delivery method.

For what it’s worth, I’m entertained by people needing to tell you what they think of your copy paste. It’s fun.

Bring back forum signatures!

Tryin to make a change :-\

Ever seen this? (2014 protest against net neutrality stuff)

There’s nothing wrong with companies informing their customers on how ongoing legislation will affect them.

That being said, I approve of restricting TikTok’s power and influence. I don’t approve of it happening like this. This is a problem for every social media company, not just TikTok. Americans need full privacy protections and transparency behind algorithms that shape their content.

Forcing the sale of one company doesn’t do much but get it out of China’s hands (which… okay fine, this is probably good. We wouldn’t be in this scenario in the first place if congress could do anything to put more control in consumer’s hands in regards to their privacy/content).

Correct, it does not, which is why they need to be deleted individually or overwritten.

ok, just as long as it’s demographically proportional there’s no problem here! After all, this means that the “Hamas terrorist” population is also 56% children

Otherwise it would be pretty obvious proof that Isreal doesn’t care about civillian casualties!

(edit: The reason, then, that children only comprise 44% of deaths is because of their higher armor class from their small size. Much harder to hit).

…don’t you think this is a little dismissive? Maybe I’m wrong but most people are catholic because they were raised that way.

It sure would suck if something I had no control over excluded me from my own culture/religion/family. In fact, if I found myself in that situation, the right thing to do would be to make changes, if I could, for other people like me and those people’s families.

By the way, I do think religion as an institution sucks. But, I don’t think these people are supporting face-eating leopards. These people live in the jungle already, their choice is to leave or fight leopards.

If you give your ss number out, you should assume the company will save it forever and misuse it.

We have ss numbers from customers dating back at least 15 years. It saves us time if they come back, that’s the only reason they’re kept that long (to my knowledge). It’s a casino, we need ss if you win enough to pay taxes. So, we do need to keep them for some length of time.

But, ss are visible to most customer service staff that handle reward cards (starting pay is the defacto minimum wage for the area for some of those roles, btw).

Hmm, I’m not sure how your opinion differs from /u/eleitl@lemmy.ml then, that’s more or less what they were saying, no? They never stated they thought lemmy was completely free from control, the contrary in fact: community effort

You are always free to host your own lemmy instance. Then you can choose to federate with whoever you want.

If I hosted an instance, I wouldn’t want to host hate speech or weird porn, and it would also be my right to not do so.

I also wouldn’t want to bother moderating a lemmy instance for people I didn’t know, and having to hear their demands for what they want to see/not see. That’s just me, personally and I’m glad there are people out there doing the work for me.

What I’m saying is, if you’re going to interact with a platform with possibly millions of users there’s going to be ground rules, and those take time to agree on. Lemmy is unique in that you can move to an instance that fits you better. I don’t think social media should be monetized, but we can’t ignore they take time and money to run. You have to compromise on somethings sometimes.

Or you can just run your own.

The largest lemmy instance (lemmy,world) is federated with them. I assume their mastodon instance also is.

Our company phones were affected (both cellular and our ability to phone out or take external calls on our traditional phones). For us, the outage started at 4am (edit: this is just when my small department noticed, we’re not IT), could be that not everyone noticed.

My company also has job listings on its website that aren’t “real”. They have already been filled - months ago. HR is so disfunctional it’s not on their priority list to take them down.

My managers get job applications all the time and sometimes forward them on to other departments that are hiring (because HR is taking too long to post new job listings)

I hate it here

No no no, you don’t understand, Russia has (in the past) implemented my favorite economic system (please ignore all the people who died as political criminals), thus nothing they do is wrong. Rainbow earrings are just a small casualty, you gotta look big picture!

…am I missing something? How can a vagina envelope something without contacting it? Contact deffo happens during envelopement.

I see you’ve spawned a heated argument. I know this post is old but I have a different take:

Don’t ban Russia. It’s just athletics, it’s not that big of a deal. All athletes should get the chance to compete even if they live in countries that encourage their cheating. Ban the cheaters and their coaches when they are exposed.

Perhaps ask Russia to pay a fine if they wish to continue to send athletes. This would dissuade them from forcing their young adults/teens to alter their body chemistry.

The Olympics is supposed to be somewhere every country can participate.
