Every year the government takes 1 hour away from every American with the implementation of Daylight savings time. They return the hours to each American in the fall. However, in between March (when the hours are taken) and November (when the hours are returned) over 2 million Americans die, and don't get their hours returned to them, or their estates. This happens every. single. year.

What is the government doing with all of these stockpiled hours of dead Americans?

I will say more, the same exact team that spends time managing EKS clusters could manage self-managed clusters and have money to spare for additional hires.

Your suggestions is a large expansion of skillset needed for your alternative to the cloud solution. Your own experience in attempting to hire workers should point to the reason thats a bad idea. You're going to need even higher skilled people, and they are going to ask for significantly more money.

If youtube premium added a feature that filters out AI created slop, it may be worth paying for. I don't know what happened but the amount of it on youtube now is unbelievable.

Thank you for letting us know about this sad news. RIP PatMan.

One method to approach this is to use a simple personal algorithmically to create answers here. As in, you could put any security question in front of someone that uses this method, even those questions never seen, and the personal algorithm would produce an answer only the user would know. Here are a couple algorithms I made up to show an example for this post.

Input security question (the first from OP's list): What was the first stock you ever bought?

  • Algorithm number one answer: eight - Algorithm: How many words in the security question?
  • Algorithm number two answer: sold - Algorithm: Ignore all words except the verb, in this case "bought". Whatever the verb is, the answer is always the opposite verb.

This way you don't necessarily have to write down your security question answers. Most certainly never write down your personal algorithm. Using this method it is trivially easy for you (and only you) to produce an answer from any security question given to you and equally easy for you to reproduce the answer when you need it in the future.

All Holdo had to say was “yes, there’s a plan. Not telling you what because of operational secrecy”. Instead she expected Poe to blindly follow orders when he’d already shown he couldn’t do that.

Well, he did fine following orders in the first movie, and then they changed the entire character in the second movie but kept the same name. I have no idea why they did that.

The third is arriving in December.

I have no criticism of the original post. My statement was aimed at Sal's hyperbolic interpretation and self-projection of those few words.

This take doesn't belong in Unpopular Opinions.

Eventually they tell me that I have a “Contemplating Poop” face and that they always know if I’m considering taking a dump.

People don't know that this is what a healthy mature loving relationship looks like. This is the endgame where your chosen life mate knows you so well that in some ways they know you better than yourself. This is likely just one example of subtle hints they know of to judge your mood and your needs. Later it just seems like magic when your partner puts a meal down in front of you, and you just realized you're so thankful because you're famished. If you're doing a loving relationship right, you do this for them too in ways they can't understand.

Thats why creating transparent pre moderation tools like the image scanners used by many fediverse instances is so important.

Are there any moderation tool projects going on right now one could throw a few bucks at to support it?

Again, I ask: Why are you surprised that literal anti-capitalists hate billionaires?

You're making authoritative claims to what the Fediverse is, who the people posting here are, and what their collectives beliefs and goals are. The Fediverse certainly isn't a monolith that you can do that to. Hate isn't an identity, nor is it the goal of the Fediverse. I think this part of the original closure notice may apply to your line of responses here.

"The worst part is that they're so caught up in their own self-righteousness that they can't see they're just as bad or worse than what they're spewing violent rhetoric at; trying to talk sense into anyone or de-escalate things is immediately met with "bootlicker", wild accusations, and/or worse."

 

So wholesome!

 

Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.

The National Comedy Center, on behalf of his family, said in a statement Wednesday that Smothers died Tuesday at home in Santa Rosa, California, following a cancer battle.

“I’m just devastated,” his brother and the duo’s other half, Dick Smothers, told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. “Every breath I’ve taken, my brother’s been around.”
