Yeah, i didn’t really like Seinfeld. I liked Fraiser, but preferred friends. At the time. I think Fraiser aged better though.

I liked up to the end of the season with the time travel where they all jumped to different times a few years apart. Think it was season 2. After that, i just didn’t feel the show was coherent or interesting.

Its a real shame. The part with his brother is, in my opinion, the worst part of the show. It gets better and better.

Not to say its a bad part, i liked it. Its just that it gets better and better as the show goes on, and the ending is great.

I dont k ow if you watched it when it was new, but today it’s not very funny. In the 90s, it was funny, but comedy has changed a lot since then, and some of the show is not very “woke” if you will excuse the term.

I think there are still funny and quotable moments but i dont think any of it would resonate with a younger audience. Comedy today is so much better and different to then. And a lot of shows that have come along since friends have used plots and jokes from the show and done them to death so it seems unoriginal and derivative.

I think this is all true of a lot of old shows. Tv is just a different beast now.

Yeah, last season was so boring and unsatisfying.

There were so many ways that show could have gone which would have been good.

Those are tarantula eggs 😜

I think i might have this, too! Is it like a static feeling? Like o old CRT screens?

I would rock the wood block! 🤘

I can count almost perfect seconds. Most people think they can count seconds until they try to prove it.

Like, give me a stopwatch. I can count seconds to within an average of .05 of a second.

I can do this consistently over a long period of time, i gave up counting when i tested it.

It’s because i used to have 3 clocks in my living room, and they all used to tick at different times. I guess from when the battery was connected and it would create all these different rhythms.

After many years of hearing these rhythms and noticing the different rhythms that would be made as we changed the batteries over time, i ended up being able to tap the rhythm out on a table/in my head etc and now its just ingrained into my head.

taTA ta… taTA ta… taTA ta…

Absolutely useless.

You could try starting with some cable management and then maybe move on to more cable management.

Seriously, at the very least why arent these cables behind your shelving instead of draping over the front edge? Thats crazy. Then you have a pc in the middle with cables going both ways. Is that a LAN cable coming from the right? Drill a hole and run that through the wall and either run it along your skirting board or get some trunking.

You can even remove the skirting, cut away a small section from the bottom back corner of the skirt to create a channel for the cable.

If i was you i would reorganize all of the devices, run all the cables in the same direction and as shown in another comment run them down the leg of the shelf and then across to the tv. And move the PC to the shelf. (Maybe the side of the shelf)

If a woman i wanted to date didn’t find me funny when i do goofy shit, then she would quickly become a woman i dont want to date.

I can be immature without that being my whole personality. I am mature when it’s appropriate and immature when it’s appropriate.

Just be yourself. You dont want to lock it all away to be in a relationship with someone who can’t laugh at a well-timed fart.

I see where you are coming from, and have thought about this before when there was a group of people near where i live who were doing a sort of vigilante mob tracking down suspected pedophiles and terrorising them.

It just made me consider that they might be attacking people with a mental disorder who could/should be treated.

But just to speak to what you said, if they are non-offending, are you talking about the ones that dont physically assault children? Because the ones who are viewing and distributing csam are still harming children. Maybe not directly, but its like supply and demand, isn’t it? People make it if people want it.

I think perhaps even the violent ones should be treated for a mental disorder. Maybe punsihed too, but if you draw parallels to other violent crime, many argue other criminals should be rehabilitated. Should this extend to pedophiles too?

The more i type, the more nuanced this becomes in my head. Perhaps that in and of itself is evidence that despite the obvious knee-jerk reaction to probably one of the most heinous things a person can do. Perhaps there is just more to this than anyone is brave enough to admit. (I say brave because anyone that sees you defending a pedophile automatically accuses you of being a pedophile, which is a fucking pathetic leap to make)

Having said all of that. If anyone ever did anything like that to my kids, i would rip their fucking heads off.

Doesn’t this rely on the premise that the goal of capitalism is the only possible goal?

Do we need to progress at auch a rapid rate? Isn’t rapid progress what got us into the place we are now?

Capitalism has fueled the growth of industry, which has accelerated global warming, the destruction of flora and fauna that are essential to life as we know it. It has created billionaires who only care about being richer and planted the belief in billions of peoples heads that they need to strive to this goal as well.

You can blame governments all you want. But i think thats too simplistic of a view of where the corruption started. They didnt bribe themselves into allowing people to become billionaires. It was a slow process with many moving parts and the greed, fueled by capitalists is why we are in this state.

Just blaming the government is ignoring so many factors.

I personally would prefer to live in a world that only develops things it needs, including leisure items/products but not in excess and never in the name of profit. We shouldn’t bankrupt half the world to sit on our IP thrones and call it good.

Its bullshit.

I would say you are a human and borders are arbitrary. and patriotism, and dividing people up by their country is a silly ancient practice that needs to be removed from society, so we stop fighting over land and immigration.

But if it matters to you, then just consider yourself American. Your current nationality. You can always say you were born in Chile, but now you are American.

We are currently moving away from cisco because they want 12k+ for a new switch. Juniper or HP for us i think.

Yeah, pretty sure i use it for capitalising symbols on the right of the keyboard.

In fact, i think i might use it for some of the symbols above the numbers, too.

I need to get in front of a keyboard and find out.

Cathy do the mathy. Missed opportunity

Would you rather Jack with Black or Black with Jack?

They made a film about it “idiocracy” and its already started.

This reminds me of way back when i beat a virus with task manager.

This one was showing as a process in task manager. If you killed it, it would just reappear moments later. I even tried finding the folder it was installing on my pc via rightclick on the program in task manager and clicking “open file location” closing the program and deleting its install folder. But it would still come back, installed somewhere else.

After some time messing around, i noticed that another program would show in the task manager, then the virus would appear, and then the other program would close and disappear from the task manager. All within about 1 or 2 seconds

So i killed the task, waited for the other program to appear right click it fast, open file location, and there it was, a different folder with a program that auto runs when the virus is removed to reinstall the virus and close itself to avoid detection.

I deleted that folder and then killed the virus program in the task manager, and it didn’t reappear. I had won!

I seem to recall it was resistent to virus scanners for this reason.

But this was about 20 years ago so i doubt there are viruses that unsophisticated now.
