xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • Because building non renewable power doesn't have a carbon cost right? And buying a petrol powered car doesn't have a carbon cost, right?

    I'm talking about my commute. The carbon cost of driving to work from my home.

    Don't strawman if you want your argument to be taken seriously - because what I read above translates to Crying neckbeard meme

  • My job is within 10mi of my home. If I walk there, I get there in 2 hours. If I take public transportation, it takes me 1h45m to 2h20m depending on the day.

    I also live in a community where our electricity is from 90% renewable resources, 10% nuclear. Switching to an electric car is a 100% reduction in carbon usage for my commute. Using the bus isn't.

  • What is your BG3 unpopular opinion?
  • I installed the 16-member party Mod and took all the origin characters (except urge) around for a while. Combat became a chore. Probably the biggest grievance is they'd block each other's movement, but it just took REALLY long to do combat with them all present.

  • Should I use a rolling distro?
  • Sounds like they've stayed much the same.

    There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with. When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.

    In a way I'm glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can't remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.

    It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby. I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.

    Ahhh Slackware.

  • Should I use a rolling distro?
  • Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?

    I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.

  • This amuses me greatly.
  • I was at a funeral for a guy who had dated my best friend. I was there to support my friend, let her get some closure. There were easily a thousand people there - they set up speakers in the parking lot for mourners to listen to the ceremony. This guy had been incredibly good at getting people to like him. He easily could have been a cult leader, the number of people who loved his persona and either didn't know of or ignored his manipulative behavior.

    Anyway, eulogies are delivered. A close friend, then a family member, then his girlfriend...then his other girlfriend. The two girlfriends learned of each other's existence and met for the first time at the funeral.

    The second girl said something like "I loved him so much, as I'm sure you all did too. I was convinced that I could make a difference in his life and make things better for everyone, but maybe it was just about the sex after all." She then left. Fully left the building.

    Nobody I knew there at the funeral had any idea who she was, except the parents who later confirmed to my friend that she was indeed his other girlfriend.

  • What's the best way to fill these holes in my laundry room?
  • I think people are voting on the practicality of this suggestion, but I think it's a hilarious image. I had a super soaker 30 when I was in early double-digits and it was so much fun to load stuff other than water in it.

  • Israeli military rescues four hostages alive from Gaza, including Noa Argamani
  • So you think we should negotiate with terrorists? Give them something to make them stop what they're doing today, and they definitely won't commit more terrorism later in the hope of getting more things later.

    Maybe just stick to eating ass, Adam.
