Well, the real YSK is that memory and expansion cards have distinctive positions they should take within each slot, with a detente that holds them in place. Your system will only work reliably if the devices are fully seated.

When you first assemble the system, plug and unplug each item several times so you get the feel of it. There will always be a distinct detente when the device is fully seated. It’s a lot easier to do this exercise with everything out on the bench, rather than mounted in the case when it will be a stone cold bee-atch to reach in and reseat the parts.

I wish people would stop using words like “symbolic”. This isn’t a symbol. Calling it one threatens to dilute the message.

asking if they subscribe to other myth based beliefs, religions, etc

What you actually said:

Out of interest are you religious or subject to some other form of mythical belief system? I ask because clearly you lack motivation for the truth, preferring hearsay and urban legend that I must assume supports a wider world view. by @Hackerman_uwu

My thought: this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.

So, it’s basically 4chans all the way down.

F*ck Ted Faro!

Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.

You’re absolutely right. You’re no physicist.

But seriously, for a practical example of “action at a distance”, consider quantum key distribution.

The famous example you’re thinking of is Jimmy Snyder, aka Jimmy the Greek, a sports commentator and sports betting expert who used to work for CBS sports. He was interviewed as part of a series about civil rights in the US, and the interviewer was sort of expecting him to say something pleasant about black folks’ success in athletics opening doors for education and leadership, etc.

Instead he made some pretty astonishing claims that were intensely racist.

Wait… they’re just giving it away?

I sign up for Patreons, watch/pay for them for awhile, and cancel several times a year.

In all cases so far, membership benefits have persisted until the end of the billing period.

Maybe the updated TOS language was to cover a future where that doesn’t happen, or it was written by somebody who doesn’t understand how the service actually works.

California, actually. Although that’s probably worse.

I would proudly stink of back-bacon and maple syrup, if given the opportunity.

What would “discrimination” look like in a reddit-like link sharing service?

I’m not even sure what that word would imply in a discussion forum. It usually applies to things like wages, job opportnities, access, etc.

Pyle has a bunch of rules for Strange Planet comics, one of those is an absolute word limit for each comic, so he’s always trying to come up with creative ways to say something in the fewest words possible.

It might be possible to live off fruit, but in the end, “food restriction resulting in significantly low body weight” is the definition of anorexia.

I don’t claim to know if she put her health in a compromised state or not, but look at recent pictures.

To their credit, they say “ultra-processed” to capture this distinction.

With respect, I think you’re ignoring the facts. How it’s prepared absolutely makes a difference in how it tastes, how easy it is to eat, etc. and there is a resulting effect on how much people eat.

Freshly grilled chicken and frozen chicken patties are both chicken. But the chicken patty is ground, pre-seasoned, pre-cooked, etc. This makes it easier to get ready and easier to eat than a fresh chicken breast.

The poison is in the dose, as they say. 500 calorie surplus every day is a pound a week of weight gain.

And as dieticians have shown us over and over again, you can eat shitty food and be healthy, you just have to eat an appropriate amount of it. There are diets based on cookies and snack cakes, if you eat at your maintenance and cover a few basics with supplements, you can easily thrive on them.
