A stack of Freshmen magazines with the address labels torn off, along with one woodworking magazine. People love discovering old porn. It’s like a gift to the future.

No news source matches my political perspectives, so all of them, I guess.

Woah there, Mr Deep! I see the way you are eye-banging that cephalopod.

I have many, many lies to tell! I choose the one for the given situation that I think will confuse or poison the data set.

Yes that’s the idea, but perhaps it’s not actually a good idea.

I think the plummeting market price per pound of cannabis in Colorado is an interesting case. It has become so cheap that the cost of goods for indoor grown cannabis is higher than the market price. The outdoor growers are the only ones with a favorable balance of costs and product price for the long run.

Anyone want to buy some used lights?

Join us in Antarctica, the one true pole! All those other jerks can have the North one.

I’ve posted this thought a lot recently but it pertains.

All polls are push-polls. If the results are published anywhere, it is an attempt to further steer oublic action and opinion.

The only moral thing to do is lie like a rug whenever taking a survey.

Caring for the donated cadavers used by a biology department for their pre-med anatomy classes. These were people once, almost always of a John/Jane Doe situation. Very gross and off-putting job, even if you could manage to not wonder about the lives of these former people.

I personally lie to pollsters because ALL polls are push polls. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. So tired of being a useful idiot, so I try to be less useful.

“There are too many secrets contained in the silver plated turd to enumerate them all. The devils and satans reveal some to us every day and night, which we shall share with you before the angel of death wraps us under his wings and takes us into the Great Beyond.”

Yeah, sometimes those early encouragements do more harm than good.

I take it as a major moral obligation to lie to pollsters. For similar reasons, when using a proprietary LLM, I make sure to inject completely random profanity in all my responses to poison their training data.

ALL polls are push polls.

As a PhD holder who has worked in healthcare, I really couldn’t use the title doctor because the chance for confusion with a medical practitioner is too high. That’s fine by me, I only use the title on rare occasions such as when speaking publicly in my area of experience. Please just call me Meyotch.

 

This is US focused but the principle of being involved in local issues is universal to all democracies.

Can I rant for a minute?

Why does every thread about voting devolve into bitching about the flaws of the Electoral College?

Fun fact: the Electoral College only pertains to the Presidency and there’s almost nothing you can do about that directly.

Think local, that’s where you can make a difference. Your local school board has the power to either support students or drive them to suicide. Local races frequently turn on a handful of votes.

So go ahead, sit out the election because the choices for president stink. I humbly submit that your superior moral stance may not be based on very firm principles. That trans kid down the block didn’t need your help anyway. /s

 

Aside from the fact it was a zoom meeting of almost 100 people mostly over 60, it was alright.

I should edit my title: What sort of personal demons drive a person to participate in party politics?

1000 Blank Cards experiences sought (www.math.stonybrook.edu)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by meyotch to c/games@lemmy.world
 

I played this game back in the 00’s and had a pretty good time. My friend group was quite creative at the time so everyone got it. It was a raucous good time.

I’m just contemplating trying again and was seeking experiences and maybe tips on pulling off a successful session.

 

Some mental health experts are advocating for religious trauma to be considered an official disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

 

Hi, question for the group.

I have a pi zero 2 running the lite OS suggested by the imager. I’ve been able to create a RAID with 2 240gb SSD on the usb port. Even during a peak read/write stress test, the power draw for the whole system doesn’t exceed 800ma.

Anyhow, ideally I would like to boot from this volume and elimante the SD card completely, but have been stopped by not even being able to boot with the root set to the RAID and the boot dir still on an SD. I can get it to boot when /usr and / var are on the raid

Has anyone any insights on different things to try? Perhaps even a good reason this can’t work would free me from this fools quest so my project can advance?

 

A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

Morning glory (slrpnk.net)
 

Morning glory in a bucket on a balcony. It’s watered automatically by a solar powered gizmo I made too.

 

Is it? This review is pretty thorough with some realistic benchmarks. Spoiler: it won’t replace an entire data center, but it works for model development and testing. Enjoy!

About Strong Towns (www.strongtowns.org)
submitted 1 year ago by meyotch to c/urbanism
 

I just wanted to introduce this group to Strong Towns, a non profit devoted to making development make sense. I worked with the founder of Strong Towns years ago when the idea was new.

The issues and framework of Strong Towns transcend partisan politics and instead gathers people under the banner of demanding that our towns be built to upon principles most any reasonable person would want to see enacted. Principles like: development responsive to local needs and financial transparency.

Please check them out.

 

I am trying to upgrade using the ansible playbook from 18.0 to the latest.

I issue ‘git pull’ and ‘ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml --become --ask-pass --ask-become-pass’. This worked the first time I upgraded to 18.0, but now I get:

TASK [Install Docker Module and docker-compose for Python] ****************************************************** fatal: [root@lemmy.mitchday.com]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “cmd”: [“/usr/bin/python3”, “-m”, “pip.main”, “install”, “-U”, “docker”, “docker-compose”], “msg”: "\n:stderr: error: externally-managed-environment\n\n× This environment is externally managed\n╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install\n …

Is there something obvious I’m missing? Much appreciated. Mostly confused what has changed since my own system config has not since the last successful upgrade and the changelog doesn’t indicate any needed config changes.
