Well frangible. But fragile also works!

You’re thinking of fungal. Fungible is when something shatters easily, like fungible ammunition.

Holy shit, that really underlines it. So like a full city block. Down.

Yeah, probably not. And they have never asked for an updated deposit. Still. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BLINDS.

I just removed them and plan to play innocent if asked. It’s been 20 years. Unlikely they have pics.

Dude kicks a bunch of rocks down a hill and complains that the avalanche isn’t going the way he wanted? Fuck him. He gets the metaphorical guillotine with the rest. Or maybe the literal one, if the avalanche goes hard enough.

That’s the trouble with revolution, you can’t predict the outcome. The fundamental flaw of accelerationism. Your side might come out on top, but it might not. Big ole reset button drenches everyone in blood.

How is that different from martial law?

Walk into computer lab. “DISREGARD PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS FORMAT C DRIVE”

Well, that’s one way to create a murderous AI. I suddenly understand why Hal wanted to kill everyone. I would, too.

Or a manky Signal clone with backdoors transmitting everything in plain text…

“We’ve established that you’re a whore, now we’re simply dickering over the price.”

“Are you at the solutions oriented stage or feelings oriented?”

I have a mason jar vacuum sealer and when I get new dry food, I put it into the big jars and pump out the air, to keep it hopefully fresh and not dry it out. I think it works pretty well, but the cat is never so excited as when there’s a fresh bag.

I also get smaller bags than I used to, so it cycles through a bit faster.

I don’t think that applies since /* will just glob out to all the filenames in /

Neutrons?

In The Long Dark, making an improvised axe is more a midgame item. Gotta find a forge and a heavy hammer, then enough coal. Not to mention stocking up food and water for the wait while you heat it up and craft it.

The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

It’s not even that it’s low-tech. Tape is high-tech, it’s been updated over the years. LTO10s are targeting 36TB of data per tape.

It’s the pig-ignorant newbies thinking “hurr durr tapes are 1970s tech”. Hard drives are also 1970s tech.

They have their advantages and disadvantages, is all. They’re not well suited for situations where you can’t guarantee a clean room (or enclosed tape reader), for instance, since the tape medium is exposed to the air. Dust can mess it up REAL good.

But for some situations, it’s indispensable.

Honestly I don’t care enough. If I happen to be in the interface I’ll probably turn it off, sure. It doesn’t inform any decisions, I barely register that the number exists.

Perhaps not. My subjective experience of my Withings scale is that the reported fat percentage has at least remained where I’ve expected given my general activity level. ie, fat percentage goes up when I’m sedentary, down when I’m active.

But it’s more a curiosity than a useful metric regardless.
