foggy,

but are you stoked to open another?

foggy,

Tom Scott is a beacon of YouTube quality.

He never had a phase where all of his videos were 10:00 for the algorithm, he never jumps on topical shit for clicks, he just talks about genuinely interesting shit, and has gotten to do so on a higher and higher budget.

He has diversified, and has other channels that interface with other YouTubers in gameshow and stuff. But it’s all still legit content.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

And a deep cut from 9 years ago. Same kind of content. Slightly lower quality but… Guys been doing this kind of “hey I think this is neat let me tell you about it” for a decade, without becoming a dingbat.

You get the idea.

foggy,

Since you know the person on the phone is doing work study, you tell them that you won’t donate a dollar until your salary clears their tuition costs.

They stopped calling me!

foggy,

…how do you know it was taken by your grandpa?

foggy,

Because vinyl sucks!!

On a more on topic note: Lemmy is small. We dont have the population to warrant that specific of a community, yet. I’d recommend starting by joining a community about vinyl, making posts about vinyl care, and seeing how they do. When you’re taking up a significant percentage of a larger parent topics feed, I’d say it’s time to splinter off

I’d just add that we run the risk of being extremely unappealing if we have too many communities with near 0 activity. We’re better served at the beginning having fewer, more general communities, to attract critical masses

foggy,

Haha, I think Benn Jordan even says somewhere in the video that this is the only valid stance on buying vinyl. 😁

Sorry everyone’s being so unhelpful.

To get the time, you’ll use a script tag (because that will feel familiar if you’re a noob, but ideally, you’ll have separate JavaScript files that are just referenced rather than having it embedded in your html 🤓). This will mean learning basic vanilla JavaScript. This is a great opportunity to expand a little bit of knowledge.

Ok I’m trying to insert html code snippets and it’s parsing the html lmao. Idk if I can show you… Hmmm. Let’s see. I’ll update this in a sec.

All the info you really need to accomplish this is on this page.

Just go into a “try it yourself” example, it’s all html, and a script tag with the JavaScript example of what you are… Trying yourself :)

Pay attention to the html elements ID tags and the script tags “getElementById” calls.

Now if you’re using Divi or Elementor or some other page builder on WordPress, their editor might be wonky with adding script tags. That’s when you’ll need to level up a tiny bit further. Basically, you’ll (probably download a plugin that allows you to explore the filesystem, but these are generally unsafe!) download filezilla, find out the WordPress DB user/pass, connect via SFTP in filezilla. Then you’ll navigate to your theme, find a JavaScript folder and add a file with this script innards in it. Then, you reference that filepath in your HTML instead of doing it in a script. (And we thought page builders were making our lives easy!)

It might sound like a lot. Ask ChatGPT or Bard for help, they’ll guide you through easy mode or hard mode here. I’m happy to elucidate, too :)

foggy,

Well yeah.

Jesse Pinkman’s life was only spared on Walter’s word, yo.

foggy,

I’m 35 and remember all those things too, but I was never under the impression I was gen x.

I’d say: if you remember the fall of the Berlin wall, you aren’t a millennial, no matter what they say. If you don’t remember 9/11, you’re gen Z.

foggy,

'08 Subaru outback. Mostly because I went in a cross country road trip in it, and put money into the audio system.

how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

foggy,

The countries are all huge. They are more alike one another at their borders than they are similar to themselves throughout.

foggy,

No I mean people in Vancouver and people in Nova Scotia are more culturally distinct than Nova Scotians and folks from Maine.

Same applies to Mexicali and Calexico. Very similar. But Mexicali isn’t a whole lot like Savanah Georgia.

Space separates culture more effectively than invisible lines.

foggy,

My first job, I worked at a big box retail store. The guys that worked there forever and full time were still on 100% commission. Us kids/part timers made like $8/hr and also meager amounts of commission that would total anywhere between $2/hr and $12/hr during the holidays and stuff. This was back in like the mid 2000s, so it paid very well for a no-skills job! These stores phased commission out shortly after my time.

When it was slow, and Id go on break, the old guys would usually tell me to just come back to close up and punch out. I was like 17, so giving up $2/hr was not a big deal, I had like no expenses in my life but gas. Old guys made a little more on the slow days. I walked around a mall.

It was great.

Okay, I just ripped my bong, I’ll bite.

Let’s assume the AI developments and the escalation of quantum computers surge. And were fucked, and the humans are dead and only superintelligent AGI that has solved P vs NP and every other hard problem in the universe remain.

Then what?

Does it build spaceships and cruise around for more of the universe to dominate?

Ok. Let’s say this shit is basically god, and it does just that. It takes over the universe. Every planet around every sun in every galaxy is inhabited by ChatGPT and IBM hybrid Boston dynamics bots.

Then what?

Edit: y’all should know that superintelligent AGI and AI are not the same thing.

foggy, (edited )

We have the infrastructure here.

It’s not limited by time during travel. Fully capable of building a fleet of spaceships here that are ready to set up shop elsewhere.

And I also think you might be misunderstanding what Superintelligent AGI is.

foggy,

I think you’re also misunderstanding that superintelligent AGI is not the same as AI.

foggy, (edited )

Dramamine!!

Oh, man.

You ever wake up on a day you want to do nothing but sleep in, but you’re awake and you hate it?

Take one, rip the bong, watch some bs and take a nap 😴

foggy,

A flipper zero 🤓

foggy,

You’ve joined my block list.

Cheers.

foggy,

Tell you to leave? Not if there’s a pharmacy inside! Non members are allowed to use their pharmacy and their food court.

I believe the pharmacy one is by law, too.

foggy,

Significantly?

Like, significantly? Like shit isn’t the same in a year?

30k. I could probably invest less than that and get where I need to be, but that’d complete what me and my gf want in hand for a house downpayment.

foggy,

This is not a mundane detail, Michael!

foggy,

If your dad managed to torture the CEO, do you think a jury would convict?

Like honestly.

foggy,

Use that social security check to pay a lawyer to get you into a really nice jail.

foggy,

Yes, but NB: the left lane is not a passing lane for left exits or left on ramps/merges.

foggy,

My gf feeds her cats leafy greens whenever they go after her plants.

It’s not a perfect solution but it works-ish

Can I get UberEats to stop recommending to "bundle" alcohol from a liquor store to your order?

It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

Good starting place for an ADA class action lawsuit.

Addiction is covered.

US regulatory institutions lack teeth these last 40 years. They’re the agency that should castrate such an issue, IMO.

You’re disabled with addiction tendencies? Okay, not lawful to feed you adverts for your addictions.

Why is this not the case? Is our government disinterested in our welfare?

The moment that’s true, we should be lighting our tax funded institutions on fire. Straight up. We paid for that shit. And the folks handling that money are doing fuck all to support our generosity.

Edit: people in here mistaking “good starting place for” with “A fucking slam dunk grand slam for,” But that’s cool, y’all do you.

foggy,

Yes that’s true. That specifically why I said what I said.

It’s a good starting place. For a class action lawsuit.

It’s not a slam dunk, but it’s a good starting place. And the ADA is an agency that could facilitate such an endeavor.

How do you think sidewalks become mandated to have handicap accessible ramps at all crosswalks?

foggy,

I let my ex peg me a few times, it was pretty rad.

Everyone recognizes Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie no 1.

I feel like it was just used all over the place, subtly, all our lives. People can rarely name it. Everyone knows it.

Here’s a piano version as well

foggy,

It’s in Minecraft?

But it’s been in indie films since forever, and big films too.

E.g. youtu.be/X5fhZomlWb4?si=TlY0RwrYJDcELL3i

This from the same musical trilogy, Queens Gambit.

foggy, (edited )

Well then you’re of a generation that heard it in films.

Royal Tenenbaums, man on a wire…

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

foggy,

Hiking.

You can do it on trail mix and tap water. All you really need is a good pair of shoes.

foggy,

Yeah but some sports, the costs are pretty unavoidable. Like skiing, snowboarding, golfing, etc.

foggy,

I would first find some big names from the demo scene and say “I am not worthy, let these folks do it” and anyone who disagreed would have their frontal lobes severed or something.

This, in its original form, was 4kb.

So, none of us are worthy. Unless one of you is on Lemmy.

Edit: this one is 1kb lmao. None of us are worthy.

foggy,

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

It’s as rad as it could possibly be.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if anyone from that scene lurks on lemmy.

foggy,

Literally as I read the title “if Chicago tornado warning sirens ain’t the top post…”

foggy,

Juice recipes.

I worked on a website for some folks that make juice. They… I guess they think they have something special? They don’t… I’ve looked through it all. Nothing you can’t find online. Same shit every college town juicer selling celery this and tumeric that and activated charcoal whatever.

But, I suppose I could use this info to start an analog of their business. I mean, I don’t want to, at all. But I could. 🤷‍♂️

foggy,

youtu.be/Dsf6ADwJ66E?si=ISKljD_IdxC2_Na_

There ya go

foggy,

I took voice lessons.

I made a react app for my job.

Idk that’s about it.

foggy,

Am sysadmin.

Windows Defender and Adblock is the best you can do with nearly 0 effort.

foggy,

Can here to post this.

10 years old and still a gem of cultural truth.

Literally showed my gf part 1 last night.

foggy,

It is so close to accurate to say “they accept you at your worst,” but we all know the toxic “if you can’t accept me at my worst…” Kinda people.

Id say it’s more like

  1. History of self advocacy and/or intolerance for their own mistreatment
  2. They accept or at least make an effort to understand you when you’re at your low points.

These two together kind of ensure no issues fester or arise in a manner such that they’re not dealt with.

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

foggy,

I find greasy umami stuff in small quantities gets me from “hunger nausea” to “hunger”

E.g buttered toast.

foggy,

Having chat gpt write it for you?

Taps head head meme

foggy,

The obvious impending economic collapse.

Because boy, if it doesn’t come, we’re all pretty fucked.
