  • I'm mostly bottlenecked by IO performance and network speeds. So in order to happily take advantage of a blazing fast machine I'd need to do some upgrades everywhere else. As long as I don't get one, I won't feel the need to update. I got real close the other day transferring 1.5 TB of data to a backup drive over 1Gb after doing some file server to file server shenanigans over 2.4ghz wifi with a 32GB filesystem image.

    FYI, decompressing an image on a fileserver back onto the server through a laptop, then writing the decompressed image on that server to a disk connected to said laptop, all over 2.4ghz WiFi, is a monumentally stupid way to do things. Many circumstances were involved, the biggest of which in this escapade was me unwilling to walk across the house because of... I don't know, reasons. The second biggest being I had already pressed enter, so screw restarting the process in a way that would be 4x or more faster, I was already 10% done.

  • I had my partner put in the addresses of my *arr stack into their phone and showed them how to add things they wanted. They never close any tabs so all I need to say is what weird-ass unrelated name handles whatever media they want and I'm done.

  • From my experience with the machete paper cutters, no matter what you do the pages will shift under the pressure of the blade. I'm sure industrial cutters are far better, but it's probably far cheaper to use lower precision with wiggle room than super high precision with a little less wiggle room.

  • All of my old phones work fine as the last time they were updated. My 10 year old Sony xperia z3c would be fine except for security updates and it's only 3g, and the storage on it is quite measly. I still use it everyday for playing music, though.

    Most of the speed issues are google bloat. Play services are absolute hogs, and anything that needs them will not work on this phone, but everything that doesn't is perfectly fine. So I'm basically stuck with f-droid apps. Which is fine, because it's a glorified iPod at this point

  • I feel you and as a stepparent to an ADHD/autism kid, it will get extremely frustrating at times. Therapy might be necessary, it will help give you and your kid the skills to build...skills... to deal with things. Professionals are better at it than us. There are a lot of different ways ADHD/autism presents, and they all have different hurdles.

    I highly recommend you start building habits now for the activities they struggle the most with and it is extremely important that you build self-care habits (taking breaks for water, food, shower, etc.), because if it doesn't become a habit, it will become a struggle, and you will both struggle.

    Its important to keep in mind that your kid will be struggling with happiness neurotransmitters. They'll be searching for dopamine hits however they can, and it can lead to addictive habits that make things spiral and crash (videogames, foods, anything really)

  • Same, I bought something years ago that amounted to something like $15.05, I had a $20 and some change so I tossed in an extra dime so I wouldn't have to fill my wallet with singles and have a bunch of change in my pocket. Nope, cashier looked at me like I was stupid and handed me back my worst nightmare because they had to make up being short a quarter in dimes and nickels.

  • I was on a grand jury and yeah, it's basically prosecutor/cop saying "they did crime" and as a member of the jury it's your job to decide "is maybe possibly a crime did" so really you have zero information as to what happened, just a "trust me bro". So the fact that this got shut down AT ALL is screaming Incompetent prosecutor, very competent prosecutor who knows its horseshit, thinnest case to ever be cased, or (incredibly unlikely) a grand jury who knows their shit.

  • I'm not going to say how long I used linux before learning this. It isn't "this many days old", but it may as well be.

    I have 7 headless linux boxes running.

  • 1 - a lot

    2 - none

  • I don't have a water shutoff on my property, it's at the alley so I'm supposed to call the utility to shut it off if I have to do anything. I can turn the hot water off before it goes into the heater, but that's it.

    On an unrelated note, I've fixed all the hot water sides of my sinks, tubs, etc.

  • They aren't punching

  • In the one picture we have of the officer before contact is made, you're saying they're punching with the baton when it's above their shoulder and to the side.

  • Yes, but this situation is a baton being swung.

  • How the fuck do you think a baton is supposed to be used?

  • No, try reading the other 90% of my comment.

  • They'll have to be very careful how they legislate gerrymandering. R's can't win in fair elections.

  • Yes, so imagine a spinning broomstick. What would hurt more, getting hit at the far end from where it's rotating or right next to where its rotating.

    Or a spinning fan. Does it hurt more to stick your finger in near the motor, or at the edge.
