  • Elmo: Hehehe, THAT tickles!

  • Nicolas Jacques Pelletier

    One of the first guillotine victims, his execution reportedly failed initially due to a poorly fitted lunette (headrest) and a dull blade, requiring multiple attempts and hacks to finish, according to historical reports.

  • Eric Trump and Don Jr. will be watching this one closely I bet.

  • I have 3 lenovo thinksystem racks with the oldest being from 2015 and the newest v3 from late last year. I also have various other servers and storage of theirs.

    They, Lenovo CAN be good, BUT Lenovo dislikes customers who want to have a 7-10yr life cycle and while we strive to keep it at 5-6 years, some have to go to 7-8 which is where Lenovo gets shitty. Lenovo supports their stuff for 5 years and that's literally not even arguable because they say it everywhere. Yes, you can keep it as long as you want but they, Lenovo will not support it. This is where I try to use HPE as they allow some of their products to get updates for decades... HPE MSA storage, Alletra/Nimble storage and HPE DL3xx servers specifically. We're also an Aruba shop, which is now HPE so it just works best for us.

    I'm with you on the ridiculous iLO / BMC crap though.

  • Longer than 30 years I assure you.

    I buy HPE where I can, but "stop buying their shit" isn't in any company guidelines and even people like me who dictate what the company buys ends up dealing with Dell and Lenovo server dogshit systems from other vendors.

    Literally unavoidable.

  • Dell Premier Business actually and their servers aren't bad.

    Their service and support however are absolutely worthless.

  • Ready Player GNU.

    For November 2025 the overall operating system share is:

    Windows - 94.79%

    Linux - 3.20%

    macOS - 2.02%

  • needs more skin shade options

  • 32 minutes waiting for Dell Tech Support

    Finally get in and they say their system is down.

    Is your system based on ChatGPT? I asked.

    I think so she says.

    fml. ridiculous.

  • well done investigative documentary

  • lemmy.ml where the ml actually means 'Moscow Lovers' instead of 'Mali'.

  • Yeah, I'll wait for the peer review, thanks.

  • I have a pair of redwings I've had repaired 3x over the last 14 years. They're expensive, but worth adding to the list.

  • Thing is, this isn't new in the slightest.

    I remember calling around to different PC stores in the 90s and early 00s to find the cheapest RAM and hard drive prices.

    Before that, I remember my grandfather, an IBM employee in the 60s-90s calling places looking for best pricing on 64k-128k SIPP memory for an ibm pizzabox 286.

  • Same. I worked at a Pharmaceutical company in the early 00's where the CFO, accounts payable/receivable and many managers were all power hungry horn dog women.

    My immediate IT boss (one down from CTO) was banging my coworker, a guy who was already banging the HR secretary and a lady in finance all to get favoritism. I literally quit over the whole thing.

    Pharma companies are all drama btw. Don't go into pharma if you dislike drama.

  • So water from the Thames then, yes.

  • Anything with Trump and his buddies names in them just became classified. We will not be getting much.

  • Dremel

  • If you still have issues with constipation, go get some:

    • High Absorption Magnesium Citrate 250mg
    • High Absorption Potassium supplements

    Why it matters:

    GPL-1 drugs deprive your body of some nutrients and to make things worse, normal vitamins also are not fully absorbed for the same reason you are losing weight.

    The constipation is a direct result of your body telling you it's missing certain vitamins and the magnesium citrate plus potassium will help this.

    I'd recommend taking it once a week. usually the day after your shot and see if it helps. Up the dosage if it doesn't but be careful as too much (daily intake) can result in diarrhea.
