I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I'm interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

    This was a commercial truck meant for heavy loads. They are sometimes used as dump trucks. It should have been obvious that it wouldn't get across that bridge.

    It is really a Forbes article:

    Apparently it came about after Trump suggested drinking bleach.






  • I 100% agree! A UPS is supposed to have enough power to keep a computer on, which means some of the components could easily kill a person. If it has sparks or a burnt smell, disconnect the battery and get it somewhere that accepts electronics for recycling.

    I know it's heavy and a new UPS is expensive, but it's better than dying or the house burning down.



  • I think what some older people mean by this is that the younger generation have had life easy and won't know what to do when rough events happen to them. What the older people don't remember is that rough events happen to nearly everyone. It's just different events.

    People today don't know how to do some of the physically demanding work of the 1970's, but we either have other physically demanding jobs or have to compete with 500 other people for a bot to read our résumé on Indeed or both.


  • I 100% agree! An invite-based system means that a new user has to find some way of contacting someone in order to request an invite. I think that only allowing X posts per day for e.g. the first week or 2 for new accounts would be a way to combat companies and spammers. Not allowing images or limiting image posts for new accounts, and using automated CSAM detection methods, which I understand are in the works, seems to be a good way to combat that problem.
