You know, it’s been so long I barely remember… and we don’t drink a lot of carbonated water outside of it, though we did once upon a time. I’m trying to even come up with a guess, and I honestly can’t. I guess I’ll have to get it on my next Costco trip and report back!

Costco has this Italian water - carbonated if I recall - 8 bottles in a pack if I recall.

It’s always been on the pricey side… I think it was $12 or so when we first started buying it occasionally, likely 7-8 years ago. Then it went up to $16 seemingly overnight - now I think it’s close to $20.

It is a luxury, no question. It’s not that we can’t afford it, just that it is a LOT of money for water, lol. We get it less than once a year now, but it is always a very nice treat when we do.

But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.

The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.

So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”

Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.

On the fastest drive I have, longevity be dammed. I buy fast hardware because I want my computer to be fast - having my RAM (likely the fastest thing in the system) swap to a slow drive completely undermines that and defeats the purpose.

Hibernation I don’t normally mess with, and same with swappiness.

For great justice.

DIE! DIIIIEEEEE!!!

Always, yes, but thankfully I have a very wide scope.

But if you’re setting the time to UTC and your time zone to UTC, your time is still accurate. I assumed that was what OP was talking about doing, not just “leave the time as my time but change the time zone.”

Oh I don’t either, just a perfectly fitting meme. Especially when you look at it from the angle of “replacing things that already work” and “rewriting everything in it.”

They’re not “/24 addresses”, it’s a mask.

/32 references one specific host, it is a mask of all 1s.

/24 references 254 hosts, it is a mask of 75% 1s and 25% 0s.

Should probably be asked in an active BSD community if you want a real and well informed answer.

Conservative/right-wing views have absolutely nothing to do with it in my books.

This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit because behave like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences.

When I see someone behaving like that, seemingly unable to carry on a civil conversation, I do not hesitate to suggest that they go back to Reddit if they’re going to behave like those people. We do NOT want this community to devolve to that level. It is not a serious suggestion that they return there - it’s more so an invitation to examine their behavior, and maybe take a step back, and look at this community overall vs. that community overall, and give some consideration to maybe behaving like a mature adult instead. Spelling it out that way when dealing with those kinds of people typically just encourages them to double down though, so it gets wrapped up in that little retort instead.

To me it’s unexpected as I wasn’t following this all that closely.

I was following closely - checking for updates weekly or more, while struggling to be so much as content with my P9FP and trying to decide whether to upgrade to a P10FP (marginal upgrades on paper, but they really help out in the weakest areas).

Still entirely unexpected to me, and even in my wildest hypotheticals, Motorola was not on my radar.

Looks neat!!

For some reason I think I thought this was about a boxer or something… I don’t keep up on much that isn’t IMAX 70mm. After hitting IMDB, I’m almost more interested in the original HBO documentary!

I’ll grab all three and see how many I can convince the mrs’ to watch with me, ty!! :-)

PS: I can’t believe they called that app Valetudo (I get it - Hygieia). Just…that word has a very different meaning in many folks brains

It’s the robot vs the dirt, a fight to the death, or at least unconsciousness or a hospital trip! 🤣

I feel like I remember hearing about an event or series called Valetudo in like, the middle east or something, back in the 90s around like, UFC 1-3 timeframe. Where like, Rickson did the majority of his fighting as far as I understood/remember. I didn’t know until today it was a catchall term! I remember my buddy telling me about how absolutely legendary Rickson was and how it was such a shame all we had in the UFC was Royce, lol. I think I only ever saw him fight once, in Pride I’d guess… likely against Sakuraba (but I’m guessing and scraping the memory banks hard here.)

Edit: AH, just looked it up, it was Takada … a judo expert iirc … yes, some of the cobwebs shaking loose now! And the “Vale Tudo” I’d heard about was a thing, but it wasn’t in the middle east, it was Japan it seems! Probably confusing it with something else that was in the middle east.

Fair, and same here! Here’s hoping we cross paths again :-)

To be fair I am talking about like, 2000-2010 here lol.

Though I remember having a social outing just a couple years ago at my current job, and I remember my team mate and I’d say pretty good friend (who again, only met through work, but we clicked and connected) telling me after that he was really into this one girl that was there, and then a week or so later updating me that he’d asked her out but she wasn’t interested and he was (obviously) leaving it at that … and he’s quite young, I’d say mid-20s.

I do probably give off the “feel free to talk to me about casual and personal stuff” vibe though as I 100% loathe and reject the whole ‘corporate culture’ bs, and I currently work at the stuffiest most uptight place I’ve EVER worked at, lol.

Also tech industry, so I think we’re generally a lot more casual? No idea! :-)

We were having a perfectly civil discourse (and I’m not sure where that downvote came from, but it wasn’t me) … I’m sad to see these messages deleted. :-(

I’ve been through my share of large ISPs, telecoms and financial institutions in the last 28 years I’ve been working full time and not one of them has had a policy like this. At more than a couple of them it was not uncommon at all to have MANY husbands and wives working for the same company, in the same building, and they met at that company. It was downright shocking to me sometimes to be like “woa, wait, that dude on that other team is married to your SISTER? WHAT?!” Like rabbits just all over each other and very entrenched in each other’s lives. :shrug:
