And yes, I've been hugely popular at both parties I've attended.

Well obviously! Everybody here can see you have at LEAST two shit-hot science facts just ready to go when the house ain't bumping.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some stick with lab coats.

This probably isn't common for a lemmy linux nerd, but I have spent a few grand on lumber over the past two years for various projects.

I bet one could build a properly superior hobby-sized siege engine for a total budget of $1000!

The fediverse isn't worth saving after all.

The fediverse shouldn't need A savior. It should be its own thing that no one person can control or stop.

Maybe this... Maybe this is the fediverse healing? 🥹

Of course it's the saunas, lol.

The border between Finland and Russia is 1,340km long. This has helped them become best of friends. They especially like to cuddle for warmth in the winter.

I just widen my stance and let my upper body hang down like I'm trying to touch the ground directly between my feet.

If I feel there's still a bit left, I'll grab my ankles or the ends of my pant legs and pull.

It's so good, like a "the best things in life are free" moment. (over 40 here btw)

Indeed. If I may quote my own comment from a couple weeks ago:

I have watched the simulated running of various dinosaur species in documentaries such as Jurassic Park.

I have also watched my chickens excitedly run around my back yard.

There is nothing you can say that will convince me birds are not literally dinosaurs.

I think it's less about genuinely caring at this point and more about it being a home-grown meme. Plus it's perfectly designed to be popular around here because it directly involves individuals and you don't have to lean on Star Trek, Linux, or even beans for it to get attention. Those three things are good, but people like variety.

My windows "partition" for work is just a single VM image that sits on one of my two Linux-formatted drives.

More AI + blockchain = breaking the economy

I bet there's a strong correlation, at least among we olds, between the number of times one has installed Windows and the likelihood that they are now a Linux user.

That's how we know that Linux is easier to install these days, for one.

All you need is another one of those global pre-processor directives! Then you'll have commits that exactly match human output just like with the code itself!
