I had a dobie who was obsessed with eating tubes of chapstick. Had to put them way up high when they weren't in my pocket
Are you living on a space station? What is this shitload of power?
Some of us live off-grid and make every Watt-hour we consume. So it may be that one man's fanciful bullshit is another man's daily life. For context, this is my 2,461st day offgrid.
A whole 60 watts?
Over the last 30 days I've averaged 2.01kWh/day, or an average constant consumption of 84w. All in. And that's on the high end for folks in similar use cases. In this scenario adding in another 60w would be significant (ie, impossible for my rig during winter months).
As Sesame Street taught showed us it's a matter of perspective.

Have you ever created your own job perks?
No, but I had a small company and asked the worker bees to define their own perks.
There were four employees. Three of them played paintball together and wanted paintballs. So I brought a case of their favorite balls into the office before their outings. The fourth guy wanted to have baby carrots to snack on. He ate ~3 lbs a week. Dude would code for hours as long as he was crunching carrots.
I couldn't have guessed what any of them wanted but they were absolutely cranked by getting it. This was a huge lesson for me: ask people what they want.
It's... inconceivable no one has said Princess Bride yet.
what controversial thing would the vettong process uncover about you?
Nice try, FBI!

I was driving with a friend on in Louisiana about 3am one night in the late 90s. I thought I saw something ahead in the right lane so I moved into the left lane just in case.
As we got closer there was a giant shadow of some kind with only tiny reflectors at the edges. It was a HUGE matte black boat filling the lane on a matte black trailer with no plates. Closest comparison I can come up with would be one of those river patrol boats from the Vietnam war.
We were on cruise so it took a few seconds to pass them. The boat was being towed by a matte black F-550 (?) MDT with no plates and no lights other than headlights.
I did not look up at the driver when we passed. I have no idea if this was a drug thing, an intel thing, or what.
No. My behavior is derived from ethics, not from law.
I once had a b2b customer (store owner) tell me that having different pricing for wholesale and retail customers was racist.
I'm pretty sure meant discriminatory but even that doesn't make much sense.
Why doesn’t Lemmy implement this seemingly obvious feature?
It's so obvious I won't even mention it in the thread title
Given that it'd already killed someone, I'm going to nominate the second guy who thought he could cowboy criticality testing with the Demon Core at Los Alamos.
By coincidence, at this moment I am camped on a mountain overlooking the Los Alamos NL.
“Win stupid games, earn stupid prizes”?
BTW, I think it's play stupid games...
This sent me down a rabbit hole since it's something I've half-considering for a while. I prefer text configuration rather than GUI so I ended up installing graph-easy on my debian laptop:
sudo apt install libgraph-easy-perl
and made a first attempt to diagram the power setup in my campervan
It's a perl module but the
graph-easy
wrapper makes it behave like any other CLI tool. cat or echo the config text to the wrapper and the graph pops out on STDOUT
