But I grabbed my phone at 9:45 and didn’t want to inconvenience you by calling early so I set the phone down then picked it up again at 9:47 and decided it was still too early. At 9:53 I felt it really shouldn’t be before 9:55 because I told you 10. At 9:57 I realized it might seem desperate to call you before the time I’d said. At 9:59 I panicked at the thought of what to say when you pick up and had to do some self- calming meditation. At 10:00 my thumb hovered over the button, but I didn’t want to seem desperate to talk to you and thought you would think I’m a dork for calling right on time. At 10:01 I bounced between feeling like an asshole for making you wait and not wanting to seem desperate because your clock might not be past 10:00 yet. At 10:02 I again panicked about what to say when you pick up and had to again soothe myself with a mantra I’m too embarrassed to share. At 10:03 I couldn’t tell if I was too late or fashionably late and if you thought me trying to be fashionably late would seem like I’m trying to hard and besides I still didn’t have a clue what I should say when you pick up because “Hi I think you’re cool and want you to like me so much that I would do anything for you if you asked,” suddenly it was 10:07 and I realized I’d been an asshole because I said 10 and now it is way past that. I spent another 5 minutes debating thousands of scenarios so I could make sure you knew I wasn’t late because I didn’t want or try to be on time. Now I’ve decided it would be best to never see you again because couldn’t bear the emotional fallout of explaining this all to you, so now I’m looking up apartments and train tickets to Toronto

lefaucet@slrpnk.netto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•And then the fire nation attackedEnglish3·15 days agoMy friend says it got much better as he learned strategies to keep afloat… Then as he got older, into his 40’s, work and life got more complicated with harsher consequences for forgotten paperwork or failure to notice time pass… And the number of things demanding attention made sleep and focus harder than ever.
He thinks his strategies just haven’t been able to keep up, but thinks things will get better again
In the late 90s you could get CDROMs from the nerds at university with everything you need on them. If you got your sound card working and could play an mp3, you felt like a master hacker who had beat the game.
Well, after we ate that bowl of flowers and got the runs for 3 days straight, killing Bob, we wondered to which flowers are the toxic ones
lefaucet@slrpnk.netto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•muskrat's data eng expert's hard drive overheats while processing 60k rows5·3 months agoNVMEs will throttle if they are inadequately cooled. Pretty much only folks who are new at buiding computers and don’t adequately cool their NVMEs experience this.
Either way it shows what a clown show this is. I’m pretty sure they’re doing some babuki theatre to distract us and then if the scheme being done here is found, they’ll point fingers at the dipshit kid and he’ll be punished for whatever the con is.
Either way the billionaires will be better off for it, barring judicial, congressional, or military revolt; which is looking less likely by the day.
Bunch of traitors forgot their oath is to the constitution. The constitution IS the soul of the country and is to be respected. The country was founded by the constitution and it defines the system to be decentralized power giving control to the populace through three different branches of government. Not some false idol king or an evil oligarchy propped up by foreign and domestic robber barrons

He’s probably worried about being seen as a loser and is trying to bail on Trump for the sake of his shit legacy since he’s about to die
Blood is on his hands, America is weaker and the world is worse off with him being on it. He’s a shisstain in the history books, soon to be forgotten.

I’d hope she would say something about the international court declaring Israel is committing war crimes and we need to address it.
She also has a point that the Trump & the GOP would be even more deaf to the injustice.

I second this.
I have a nextcloud instance on pi4 for personal use and love it.
It’s not good for live transcoding of video, but works great for calendars, file sharing, photo sharing and music streaming.
I have a 500 gig SSD for most stuff and a 6TB HDD for backups and archiving.
I use docker compose to map a folder called archive in my instance to the HDD.

I’ve used it for years. Good stuff
