Well then you make the fine 11X what it was originally to make it have bite.

Punish NY for making him a felon, harm NASA to the likely benefit of SpaceX, no self interested activity here to be seen.

That's pretty well what I started with 20 years or so ago, had them in some little box with some funny Nvidia CPU. That go upped to a pair of 3 TB that have somewhere around 10 years uptime on them if I recall by now, and kind of spiraled from there. Rsync on a schedule is nice for that.

Just part of a lab built over the years. Primary storage is a Dell R730XD filled mostly with 12 TB drives all set up in a ZFS array comprised of mirror vdevs, so redundant by default plus the built in ZFS snapshots for the rare need for a rollback on a dataset.

It only recently got that big because I had a mixed set of drives going back years and finally decided to work on getting them all to the same size and picked 12 as a good cost/volume balance, can find them at used server parts shops for a bit over $100 each.

Major risk is I don't have a good auto alert for smart monitor issues, so just make sure to occasionally manually copy the vital stuff like photos to an external drive.

How do you stream it if nobody downloads it to seed things? The whole premise of seed ratios isn't just a bragging score, it's aiding the communal health.

Besides, I have around 60 TB of space here, that'll hold several versions of damn near every Linux distro out there for a while, it'd be a shame to waste it.

I could wish this where fact, but it fails to take into account that beyond punches you also need social grace and appearances surpassing Ralph Wiggum...

He's a very stable genius with plans beyond the comprehension of us mortals.

Plus, predictable market volatility cause by your own words makes for some easy stock wins.

On one hand rather than side I guess

Fox News talking about 'Top Trump admin official reveals the extremist Democrat who controlled Biden's autopen' I'm sure is very credible and has no reason to trade in conspiracy theories supporting a president who's only consistent behavior is slinging bullshit everytime he opens his mouth.

Doesn't strike as worth the pixels to put it on a screen.

You might be shocked to learn that other punishments aside from execution exist in the world today.

It used to be said that Marie Antoinette was so out of touch as to say when the starving peasants have no bread to "let them eat cake", and that the people took quite poorly to that response. I wonder what the gold plated halls of Trump tower will look like when he makes the same mistake.

How did things get stupid enough where we need to ban a ban on masks? I've seen two arguments against masks:

On one side you have the 'covid is a scam' people who want to prevent people from making for medical reasons.

On the other you have the 'no anonymous protesting' people who want to harass protesters, typically these people don't object when it's cops wearing them or open nazi groups.

That there are so many bans around it merits a state level action is bizzaro world level.

Hey all,

So I'm looking to take an active step here to understand better some things that my straight/white/cis/middle-aged male brain has had a tough time wrapping itself around, particularly in the gender identity front.

I'm working from the understanding of physical sex as the bio-bits and the expressed identity as being separate things, so that part is easy enough.

What's confusing to me though is like this. If we take gender as being an expression of your persona, a set of traits that define one as male, female, or some combination of both then what function does a title/pronoun serve? To assume that some things are masculine or feminine traits seems to put unneeded rigidity to things.

We've had men or women who enjoy things traditionally associated with the other gender for as long as there have been people I expect. If that's the case then what purpose does the need for a gender title serve?

I'll admit personally questioning some things like fairness in cis/trans integrated sports, but that's outside what I'm asking here. Some things like bathroom laws are just society needing to get over itself in thinking our personal parts are all that special.

Certainly not trying to stir up any fights, just trying to get some input from people that have a different life experience than myself. Is it really as simple as a preferred title?

Edit: Just wanted to take a second to thank all the people here who took the time to write some truly extensive thoughts and explanations, even getting into some full on citation-laden studies into neurology that'll give me plenty to digest. You all have shown a great deal of patience with me updating some thinking from the bio/social teachings of 20+ years back. 🙂

Or, when you get a sudden windfall inheritance from on high.
