Probably the easiest way to do an off-site backup for low-double digit terabytes is an external drive in a bank safety deposit box. Remember your home could burn down fall over and sink into a swamp and no amount of parity drives within the home would keep that data safe.

There's a group called Improv Everywhere that used to do really creative flash mobs like the No Pants Subway ride where they would all claim to have forgotten to put on pants that day, or going into a cafe and lugging 90s desktops in and dialing in, or during the Great Recession they had a suicide jumper on a 2ft high ledge which they dramatically had to talk down.

They once tried to do a "writers against libraries" stunt but it ended up not being funny enough because people kinda went "oh yeah libraries are kinda weird in that they just give out books for free"

Unless something has changed they took an axe to all 7th gen and older Intel CPUs and Ryzen 2000 and older AMD CPUs. This is the big challenge since this includes some very capable systems that are now just ewaste because Microsoft didn't want to maintain compatibility all the way back to the Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo and cut off platforms that still have life left in them

Any of you don't want to be on jury duty just saying you don't wish to do it can be enough to be removed fron the jury pool (alternatively seeming way too interested could also be a tactic)

In recent months YouTube has been suggesting content that screams "meninist/right wing onboarding" so if I just watched whatever it recommended I might be in a very different place right now...

Dang that's a pretty metal name for a kid. I can't decide if its terrible or brilliant

I’ve got a Grandson named Charon

Isn't that something from greek mythology? I swear there's something like that in greek mythology...

My biggest problem with short form content is I want to pick what I'll watch based on the uploader, title and thumbnail, not be algorithmically fed videos I may or may not be interested in. All of the video providers are going straight for the algorithm so I have zero interest.

The algorithm won't know what kind of content I'm in the mood for so I want to be in control to choose. The algorithm also likes to try to feed me content by some creators who aren't worth my time and I don't want to watch one second of their videos

Unironically a great reason to use condoms. Condom protects the interted item from fecal matter, and can be disposed of after the fact meaning cleanup is quick and easy

AI at least provides a clear product that can be a helpful workforce multiplier, whereas Bitcoin provided an unprotected alternative to traditional markets with none of the safeguards nor legal precedents of traditional markets, so it's only led to illegal activities piled upon illegal activities
