alright, yet another rabbit trail... the thing about fixing old cars is once you start taking stuff apart you have to basically replace the whole f%*%&* car
i wanted to put this clutch fix off, but it was barely going into gear so here we are.
now anyhow i can get the rest of the shifter linkage out and replace the bushings cause the shifter was really loose
Ironically, while I have not been tracking @pluralistic so closely lately, Google YouTube finally put me onto this recent presentation (I wonder if this thinking applies to, say, a constitutional republic… feels like it)

i miss mid 2010s twitter (kinda), telegram/discord/skype from the same era, many GameSpy online games, but especially dA. the death of DeviantArt has left a hole in the web IMO.
I want to make a federated dA ripoff with activitypub, but it'd be better to use a new protocol or some shit to federate.
@sendpaws I have kept versia on the back of my mind for a while now. It seems like a better approach to a federation protocol than ActivityPub is. Haven't gotten around to complete writing a sane software for it yet though.

Peacemaker: Season 2: How James Gunn's DCU Addresses That Season 1 Justice League Cameo
How exactly does Peacemaker: Season 2 address that DCEU Justice League cameo in the final episode of Peacemaker: Season 1? Is there some multiverse realignment given that Season 2’s storyline involves a parallel dimension? The answer, so far, is nope.

If you've ever seen an adaptation of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde you probably got a completely different story than the actual novella.
Mr Hyde is no alternative persona he's not Jekyll evil half... Jekyll created Mr Hyde as a mask to do all the twisted things Jekyll himself couldn't get away without destroying his reputation or being arrested.
This is mostly confirmed by the suicide note at the end where Jekyll references his actions in the guise of Mr Hyde as things 'I' did.
It's not a story about a good man with D.I.D with a dark alter. It's about a bad man torn between trying to maintain a sterling reputation while being a twisted individual under the surface.
It's right there in your face really Hyde, the side of Jekyll he hides from polite society.
I mean more than a mask. Could be more than just psychological, but less than an alter. He's aware of what he's doing, it's all him, he's just chemically suppressing his empathy or whatever.
If one purposely enables oneself to do it, not particularly, which is what he seems to have done repeatedly.
It's not some unexpected psychosis or an inability to not act on intrusive thoughts. Some of the non-source material takes on the story go pretty much along those lines though.
@mike @Paradox it at least has the effect of changing his physical appearance to a degree so that cant be entirely true. Hyde apparently looks younger and gives the impression of some kind of deformity though nobody seems to be able to describe it.
@mike "Mr Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile..." My guess is he was just creepy and walked with a mean slouch so it looked like he'd probably be deformed.
Even more obvious when you know the story was inspired by the life of William Brodie who had a double life as a burglar (Stevenson's father actually owned furniture made by Brodie).
i believe in the Tubes, the series of them, creator of cats and content from which chocolate rain falls gently away from the mic to breathe in
I believe in keyboard cat born of the virgin lolcat who was bitten by charlie (and it really hurt), he suffered under buffering, he was compressed, died, and was deleted; he descended into the recycling bin on teh third day he re-uploaded and did the dance dance revolution with great glory
he ascended into trending, and is seated at the right hand of the star wars kid from thence he shall come to judge the n00bs and the 1337, saying: "shoes shoes oh my God shoes"
i believe in the holy dial-up, the holy chaotic hamster dance, the communion of myspace top 8, the forgiveness of doubleposting (ouch charlie!), the resurrection of dead links, and the kingdom of badger badger mushroom where it is forever garfield minus garfield

ok i ordered a new cat and some new o2 sensors as well. the civic definitely seems to be running rich and i guess you can't expect an o2 sensor to operate perfectly for decades in a hot exahust stream.
crazy thing is, it does have a downstream sensor, which ostensibly is to check that the catalyst is functioning properly, but obviously it had no clue that there was zero catalyst left cause there was no check engine light
contrast with the RSX, which is a finicky little b****, it complains when the cat efficiency falls below like 90%, and exhaust smells totally clean.
Hey #WotW. I'm super sorry: I moved the database to a safer location, and while I made a backup immediately before, both the move and the backup ended up getting corrupted. I luckily had another backup from two days ago, but that does mean that everyone will be logged out, and anything anyone posted in the last two days will be gone. In the future, I'll be sure to test backups before relying on them, especially on old hardware like this.
Even with the old backup, several tables were still corrupted, so I had to dump and recover one of them, and just straight up rebuild the other. Good thing I'm such a SQL guru dear god please hire me

@Sir Matt @M Onyx Obviously NOT a libtard! 10-years old is fifth grade, it's been 55 years since I was in 5th grade, but that was the first year that public schools provided sex education and that female humans birth babies is a pretty fundamental part of that, so I am not surprised.
This is an ominous warning for the U.S. economy...Meta Strategy Update:https://marketsinsiderpro.teachable.com/courses/momentum-timer-pro/lectures/62449524CT...
@Sardonic Smile Not a week has gone by since Youtube's inception where some dweeb isn't screaming the Sky is Falling with respect to the economy, usually in an attempt to grab a bigger slice of the pie for themselves. Well folks, it's time to get real and realize the only way we can, as a whole, have more is to PRODUCE more, this means creating the energy we need even if it changes the CO2 content of the atmosphere, getting off our ass and being productive instead of sitting at home collecting welfare, and start using the pie we have more efficiently and stop wasting it creating more means of killing each other.
@nanook Well, yes. I understand he sells bonds and all of his posts are engagement farming. Nevertheless, he is talking about consumer sentiment in relation to Wal-Mart. This is a significant indicator.

Good breakdown on AI unit economics from ZeroHedge:
How bad are AI startup unit economics?
Here’s how the AI startup economy works right now: you, the user, pay an application-layer company $1. That company pays $5 to a foundation model provider, which then pays $7 to a hyperscaler, who finally pays $13 to a GPU maker.
From the land of dial-up and LimeWire sins, we return seeking forgiveness for we did not install the driver and we did not check ourselves before we wrecked ourselves
All: LEEEEROOOYY JENKINS!!
Celebrant: We wandered far from the wisdom of Dramatic Chipmunk, tempted by flash games and Neopets hunger timers.
All: I’m in ur liturgy, sayin ur prayers.

All: It’s over 9000!
Celebrant: All your base are belong to us. But lo, we seek to return them, along with the 40 cakes we stole. That's as many as four tens.
All: And that's terrible
Celebrant: Let us not be forever alone. Let us be united in the ways of Shoop Da Whoop and Charlie the Unicorn, who knew not what awaited him.
All: At least we have chicken
Celebrant: O Lord of Longcats and Keyboard Cats, stretch your mercy across the internet as across the heavens.
All: I herd u liek forgiveness
