  • what do you wish you did when you were 18?

    Jump

  • I wish I had gone straight into college even though I was incredibly depressed and suffering from cptsd.

    I could have been depressed and living in a dorm and possibly getting into wacky adventures or meeting somebody to love me rather than being depressed and living in my truck and scooting from minimum wage job to minimum wage job for 7 years before I finally started to get my shit together.

  • Why would the average person choose a brain implant over a skullcap?

    Jump

  • Unless a wireless brain interface is developed, you're probably SOL. I bet it would be one of those things that has to be implanted in your mother's uterus or something.

  • What’s your best advice to help someone want to learn?

    Jump

  • An interesting thing about learning random things is that the knowledge you acquire will come in handy in unexpected places.

    For instance, I learned to play guitar. Then I wrote songs, then I wanted to record the songs to see if they were any good so I learned about recording so then I ended up in a band with other people and recorded a few albums with them, which didn't go anywhere.

    Not long after, people who were aware that I recorded music asked me to help out at a church and I got experience running live audio.

    And eventually I moved away so I had to quit and then I ended up having a job where editing audio for training sessions was a part of my job responsibilities and my previous experience with recording albums and running live music prepared me to do a job that paid a hell of a lot more than I was making before which then advanced into another job and another job and all of these random little tidbits of information and skills that I've picked up along the way keep becoming crucial to my future successes in ways that I could have never anticipated back when I was learning them to record some dinky guitar.

  • It would be ironic for song writers to have annoying earworms of songs they wrote

    Jump

  • This has happened to me, as a person who writes music and has recorded multiple albums.

    It also happened to my bandmates when we had a song we were really focusing on they would tell me how they had been dreaming about the song and having it play in their dreams.

    However, I am very susceptible to earworms and it's rare for there to not be music playing in my head.

  • What is your irrational fear?

    Jump

  • This person is telling you lies

  • What is your irrational fear?

    Jump

  • Aliens walking in the distance.

    Like if they're running right at you with violence in mind, that is a completely rational fear, no problem.

    But if I were standing on my front porch and saw an inhuman alien gray walking down the street, even if it didn't look my way, I would freak the fuck out.

    Even the idea, the thought of that happening can make my hair stand on end.

  • Do you believe the that you have a soul?

    Jump

  • My understanding is that there's our physical bodies and there is the lightning of spirit that is our divine selves and when the two are combined together we become a soul.

    I don't envision the soul as something that is separate from the body. Just each of us are one.

    Like if you were turned into a computer program and run on a universe computer, your soul would be whatever happens to actually be actively being computed by the CPU and existing in ram at the moment.

    The hard data saved on the hard drive would be your body and the electricity coursing through the CPU would be your spirit but only what is actually happening when the two combine is a soul.

  • In a few decades, electric toothbrushes will be so common that children won't know how to brush their teeth "manually"

    Jump

  • I want like a USB c powered whole mouth toothbrush that looks like two u-shaped chainsaws full of tooth bristles that just wiggle back and forth very quickly and spray toothpaste and mouthwash as they go.

    Where is that innovation?

  • In a few decades, electric toothbrushes will be so common that children won't know how to brush their teeth "manually"

    Jump

  • One thing to note, if you find flossing very difficult, like you have to use a lot of force to put the floss in between your teeth to floss, your teeth may have spacing issues and you might need braces.

    I know this because as an adult I got braces and then all of a sudden I found it incredibly easy to floss. It's like 10 seconds and my breath smells better and my gums are healthier because it is easy and convenient to floss now.

  • In a few decades, electric toothbrushes will be so common that children won't know how to brush their teeth "manually"

    Jump

  • My grandma told me how she used to cut branches off of trees and chew on them to turn them into bristles and then scrub her teeth with the bristles.

    I have no fucking clue how to do that and I don't think anyone will ever hold it against me.

  • Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?

    Jump

  • At $0.13/kwh 100 watts 24/7/365 will cost you $113.88 a year, or roughly $10 a month. Little things add up.

  • Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?

    Jump

  • Mine is roughly 300 watts, much of which is from using an old computer as a NAS separate from my server server.

    However, I put the whole thing in the basement next to my heat pump water heater which sucks the heat out of the air and puts it into my water, so I am ameliorating the expense by at least recapturing some of the waste heat.

  • Never Again

    Jump

  • Since we are talking about cheap ssds, what do you guys think of netac?

  • If you were sent back to the roman era and could only bring a backpack of goods. What would you bring?

    Jump

  • Just nothing from Monsanto, as many of their seeds are sterile.

    Best to get some modern old stock. Hell just some beef steak tomatoes and corn would be invaluable.

  • And build up a tolerance by slowly adulterating your filtered water with unfiltered water

  • What Stereotypes do you definitely fit?

    Jump

  • Exactly, just let him cook for a little while.

  • Deleted

    There are two kinds of people on earth: peope who are stupid and people who know they are stupid. What kind are you?

    Jump

  • Apparently it's compared to the all powerful God brain in orbit around Saturn.

    What are your core values?

    Jump

  • My core values are:

    Learn everything you can

    Share the knowledge you have gained

    Don't be a dick

    Help out

    Don't be afraid to roll up your sleeves

    Work until the job is done

    And don't fucking take yourself seriously.

  • When Pi-hole is down?

    Jump

  • Proof?

    I read 15 different sites about DNS and not a one of them claimed anything like this. They universally all stated that your network attached devices would use the 1st one unless it didn't respond and only use the 2nd one if the 1st one did not.

    So once again, I ask "Can you send me some more information on this" and not just claim it without any backup information?

    I apologize if I am coming off rude, just my BS meter is getting close to the red zone and I would really appreciate some reliable evidence.

  • When Pi-hole is down?

    Jump

  • Yeah, looks like you don't know what you're talking about.

    The second ipv4 DNS address is for redundancy and every network connected system will use the first one as long as it responds.

    It's perfectly fine to have a single pihole and use something like quad9 as a failover in the unlikely event that your pihole goes down unexpectedly.
