I wouldn’t expect people who don’t have the self-discipline needed to cook a frozen pizza in the oven to be capable of organizing a large-scale national rebellion.

If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.

And, just like people who install solar panels on their homes tend to use more energy than people who do not, finding a tricky way to buy additional time for us will only exacerbate and prolong how long we are destructive as a species to the planet that we live on.

I can move my fingertip joints without moving the rest of my finger.

I can also ear rumble, it is not tied to my blinking at all, but if I vibrate my eyes while my ears are rumbling they both move at the same ~60hz frequency.

It’s called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.

What happens when the heart just stops by the frames. Went through a breakup not too long ago, just feeling The vibes now.

Good point! I was thinking kind of like giraffe, they obviously must have some sort of like very long breathing tube to make it from their head to their lungs.

Maybe centaurs have like some sort of gill system or whatever that would be for land walking mammals?

There’s no way that a human heart would be able to pump enough blood to supply the full vascular needs of a thousand pound centaur.

Most likely, the human halfs heart is more of a vestigial organ or more of an assisting organ to help ensure that even under strenuous cardio that the brain receives enough blood flow to operate optimally.

The lung system though is definitely a weird one. I would be more inclined to believe that there are no lungs in the centaurs human half, maybe the areas that are lungs in a human would be something like a cud sack or some sort of extra biliary devices to increase the amount of acidity to break down their largely herbivorous appetite.

I am out of the loop, what happened to duckduckgo?

Don’t forget, there is a large and worldwide vested interest in maintaining online divisiveness.

The internet has become our global hearth. The grand majority of humanity participate in the internet to communicate with each other for conversation, connectedness, and social expression.

This is very bad for authoritarian regimes, whether they are currently in power or attempting to enter into power or attempting to expand their power.

Should someone do something that is considered “bad”, information about that will spread around the world as fast as a lie ever could.

To prevent that from hampering their schemes, the smart thing to do would be to poison the source. If you hate everyone on the internet because you have been effectively compromised by psychological poison, then you will not trust the people on the internet that you communicate with when they tell you something bad has happened.

Therefore, the mote of power you could add to collective action is rendered ineffective.

And, the interesting thing is they don’t have to fool everybody. They only have to fool enough of us that our own internal division prevents effective action.

I never really believed in a devil growing up, but if I did believe in a devil now, I would definitely say that this is one of his activities.

Probably bandwidth. You download a game or five and then you’re good for a few weeks, whereas if you are streaming media you could run through several gigabytes a day of data per customer in perpetuity.

Obviously, with streaming media there is a continuously refreshing pool of money to cover those costs as compared to games being a one-time purchase, but even with that it would still take quite a while to expend the entire revenue of the purchased game in download expenses and storage overhead.

Jack is minimally lossy. It would change the audio just from the DAC operation and the noise floor but otherwise be pretty good.

Yeah. The good in humankind is the reason why we’re not currently rioting in the streets.

The goodness is holding out hope that our innermost desires for what’s best for ourselves and for the future of humanity will win over the short term narrow-minded greed that is currently ruining everything.

What did not good doesn’t know is that the good has already won, and if the not good does not concede defeat soon enough the good will strike with righteous and ignition and a fury that cannot be abated short of blood.

I tested the idea with a small blower fan. Well I say small but it’s a decent sized and can move a lot of air.

I put it at the base of the stairs and by itself it caused the air temperatures to normalize between the bottom floor and the middle floor.

But it’s also super power hungry and I don’t want to burn 300 watts of power an hour 24/7 to normalize the Air temps.

There is a central wall that goes from the top to the bottom in the middle of the dome and I believe there is a pocket that I can utilize to hide the ducting.

I guess when I finally execute on the plan I’ll take some pictures and show off my handiwork.

I’ve been thinking about building a similar system for my home.

I live in a geodesic home and the main floor is almost always at a comfortable temperature but the basement floor is always cold.

Thinking about purchasing some vent booster registers and wiring them in with some ducting in one of the walls to suck the cold air out of the basement and push it up into the main floor or possibly all the way up to the top floor.

I checked AliExpress and there were some sellers there who had what I was looking for in the 40 to $80 range, but I imagine the main cost is going to be dropping 10 to 20 ft of ducting through the walls.

I don’t think that one of them by itself will completely solve the problem but I feel like since it would be sucking the coldest air in the entire house and mixing it in with the hottest air in the entire house that it would at least help ameliorate the issues.

You have to watch an ad to crank your car.

Every time you bring your car to a full stop while it is running, an ad plays through your audio system and displays on your radio.

You have to watch an ad to make a phone call.

When your phone rings, it plays an ad jingle, call JG Wentworth 877 cash now.

When you send a text message or write a text post to an online system, an ad is injected with your text post so that readers in order to read what you wrote also have to read the ad.

If you have Smart lights or anything smart in your home, in order to use it you have to watch an ad.

In order to pay for something with a credit card you have to watch an ad on the credit card machine and click one of the choices that are offered to you.

Smart pillows that play hypnotic ads at you in your sleep.

Your electric toothbrush requires an ad to be played the whole time it is being used, and if you brush your teeth for less than the length of the ad, then they take a dollar from you.

Some guy comes to your house and screams logos and add quotes at you all of the time. If you try to get him to shut up he murders you and your entire family.

Replace the guy with a robot.

There’s a limit to what it can pull though, right? If you have excess minerals in your body, it seems it would help eliminate them, kind of like chelation, right?

It sounds like it would be good to drink a glass or so every week just to help prevent kidney stones right? Or am I Way off the Mark here. I feel like I’m way off the Mark here, but somebody please confirm if I am not off the mark okay?

Next time you get your teeth cleaned at the dentist, which you should be doing every 6 months or so, ask them to give you a fluoride treatment. They literally just brush this minty sweet stuff onto your teeth and let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes.

The fluoride will leech into your teeth and help reinforce any weak spots to decrease the likelihood of developing cavities.

I mean, if you’re a conspiracy theorist then in theory it will calcify your third eye as well, but I have no way of verifying that claim, or even proving that the third eye exists other than the pineal gland in your brain, and I’ve never heard of anyone’s pineal gland being calcified.
