Father; husband; mechanical engineer. Posting from my self-hosted Lemmy instance here in beautiful New Jersey. I also post from my Pixelfed instance.

  • How do the likes of JD Vance and Drumpf rationalise no more DEI when they have wives who are DEI? It makes no sense.

    Jump

  • Vance himself was a DEI student at Yale. Hypocrisy doesn't matter.

  • Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k?

    Jump

  • How long until you retire? If you've still got another thirty to forty years of wage slavery ahead of you then don't worry about it. Just keep contributing and make sure to get all of your employer's match, if any.

  • When buying tools, how important is color for you?

    Jump

  • [extremely space orc voice] Gotta be red to build faster.

  • What podcast(s) do you recommend?

    Jump

  • My response from the last time I saw this question:

    • Trillbilly Worker's Party - Kentucky-centric Marxist jokers hanging out. They always know how to put a smile on my face, even if they're talking about bleak stuff.
    • Fun City - Well produced live role playing of Shadowrun. The game is a few years in and I am just invested.
    • ALAB - Lawyers talking shit. They're funny and I like learning about interesting cases. One of the characters they covered actually sued them and settled for an interview on the show.
    • Desert Oracle Radio - Joshua Tree-centric paranormal stuff. Good for an old X-Files head like me.

  • Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home?

    Jump

  • If you can afford the down payment, it really makes a lot more sense to buy your home than rent it.

  • Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home?

    Jump

  • It beats having a landlord.

  • should i put a disclaimer in my repos?

    Jump

  • Yes, include a disclaimer and consider using the Peer Production License as well, which compells for-profit, non-cooperative developers to compensate you for using your work.

  • Aliens arrive on Earth like Columbus set on the Carribean. What do you think they call it?

    Jump

  • Probably some Italian gibberish.

  • Is it possible to post to your own profile?

    Jump

  • Is it possible to post to your own profile?

    Jump

  • Make your own community and cross post. Cross post, cross post, cross post. Some people complain about it, but they're being too precious about their timelines. It really makes Lemmy better.

  • What's your view on people who don't adopt?

    Jump

  • Adopting children is more difficult than giving birth to them in some cases. Also, the nice thing about reproducing your own children is that you can be sure that you're not effectively human trafficking them or otherwise participating in family separation schemes. Idealism gets in the way of us realizing that adoption is kind of an industry with some dark aspects to it. Of course, good people choose adoption for good reasons and I am supportive of them. However, I don't think there's any good basis for judging negatively parents who choose biological reproduction. The only logic for that is Malthusian, which is a worthless, repeatedly failed doomsday prophecy as far as I am concerned.

  • What would the world look like if billionaires actually helped the people?

    Jump

  • If we're counting property values, millionaires are a dime a dozen in some areas.

  • as a basic answer, what resources might i need to create my own lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • You need a computer and an Internet connection that isn't too restrictive. Install Yunohost on it (or on a VM) and then the Lemmy app. It's not perfect, but it will work. That's what I do.

  • What would the world look like if billionaires actually helped the people?

    Jump

  • I don't think I've ever seen a billionaire IRL.

  • What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?

    Jump

  • Probably because it is hosted on an old PC over a not so fast internet connection.

  • What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?

    Jump

  • It's called harm-reduction.

  • What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?

    Jump

  • Maybe it could be a little robot with treads like a tank, always creeping against the direction of peristalsis.

  • What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?

    Jump

  • A spray of hot water and some UV out to do the trick. Think about the planet.

  • What if there was a health tracking device that you swallow?

    Jump

  • Yeah, let's just put some more sensors on it.
