Is that a compromise solution for the age old H0 vs HO debate?

(Potential sauce)

In case you aren’t aware, the egg prices are through the roof because bird flu (H5N1) has been spreading rampantly through chicken and cattle herds. If it mutates to where it can spread person to person (some cases have already jumped to humans, and some humans have already died of it) we’ll easily have a second “once in a lifetime” pandemic on our hands

The weirdest part to me is eggs haven’t gotten that crazy yet. Like the $1.50 packs of eggs are now $6 for a dozen, and I’d buy a dozen every 2-4 weeks so my costs are largely unchanged despite the 4x increase

I’ve learned from trans friends that we share some experiences of gender, because I generally don’t fit the traditional masculine model despite being a cis male. I remember being interested in “girly” things as a kid and being frustrated that I wasn’t “supposed” to play with the toys that I wanted to I could see where in another life, with the right people saying the right things at the right times that could lead me to believe that I’m trans when I don’t actually seem to be

Real talk, H.G. Wells was a fantastic author and his biggest hits are both immediately recognizable enough to be a performative conversation starter while also having the added bonus/hazard of potentially accidentally getting into it.

War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and The Invisible Man are all ones I’ve recently listened via Librivox (I linked the specific readers I listened to) during my commutes, but of course, my goal is to actually enjoy the books

under no circumsision

I appreciate that Circumcision is misspelled so you had to actually go out of your way on that one

The sad thing is I work at a small office with a half dozen nerdy dudes in their late 20s/early 30s and that is literally how all of them eat.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it varies by monitor but I’ve encountered plenty of monitors professionally where I could not tell the difference between the VGA or HDMI input, but I can absolutely tell when a user had one of the cheap adapters in the mix and generally make a point of trying to get those adapters out of production as much as possible because not only do they noticably fuck with the signal (most users don’t care but I can see it at least) but they also tend to fail and create unnecessary service calls

VGA and DVI honestly were both killed off way too soon. Both will perfectly drive a 1080p 60fps display and honestly the only reason to use HDMI or Displayport with such a display is if that matches your graphics output

The biggest shame is that DVI didn’t take off with its dual monitor features or USB features. Seriously there was a DVI Dual Link with USB spec so you could legitimately use a single cable with screws to prevent accidental disconnects to connect your computer to all of your office peripherals, but instead we had to wait for Thunderbolt to recreate those features but worse and more likely to drop out

The ambiguity might be intentional too! It would allow different ways of reading into the emotions

I wasn’t arguing with you but adding to your point

Ongoing trends would indicate a significant drop in birth rate is extremely likely. Major cities will most likely be facing population shrinkage by the end of the century

According to XKCD about 40% of the earth

Up until we practically landed boots IN germany, we didn’t really have any idea what was going on, that’s part of why it took so long for anything to be done

There were people who specifically got themselves arrested to observe conditions within the concentration camps and then escape because some reports of conditions were too unbelievable

The very first hacker purposely damaged the contact that read the value that stored if a citizen was Jewish on the punch cards of census data in occupied France (if I’m remembering correctly) it’s not known how many he saved but he did pay the ultimate price and died in the concentration camps for his sabotage efforts

Edit: my memory was close. René Carmille specifically delayed the June 1941 report on the numbers of Jewish citizens and foreigners so that it still wasn’t complete by the time of his ultimate arrest in 1944, and utilized his position to create extremely real fake identities for escaping refugees amongst other resistance actions

It was tracking COVID-19 cases and data needed for contact tracing!
