George Washington (real answer, George W Bush)

We should survey the linux_gaming community. That will give us a larger sample size that’s definitely representative of the broader trends

Yea I’m a weirdo! My dad owns pretty much every Stephen King book, so I started reading them in middle school

I recently tried audio books and they worked surprisingly well for me. I tried some of those “bedtime stories for adults” at first but they were kind of lame. Stephen King’s short story collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes did the trick. Just speaker on my phone and set to read one chapter, ~1 hour in this case.

I really liked watching B-grade 90s-00s SciFi movies with my dad when I was a kid. That was the name of one that came out around the time I made a reddit account, I don’t know if I ever even watched it, it just sounded like a good username. Reminds me, I should probably make a new lemmy account that’s not tied to the same name

The fact that Facebook is one of the largest companies still blows my mind.

Sounds like SEE (single event effect) if it’s something fixable by software.

TID (total ionizing dose) is another flavor of radiation effect on components, but that’s a total lifetime effect where it slowly degrades. Using rad hard parts or adding extra shielding is the main fix.

SEEs are transient effects from high energy charged particles that can cause bit flips and latch ups in circuitry depending on where the particle hits and deposits it’s charge in the circuitry. Extra shielding can help prevent these as well, but they can also be mitigated in software, sometimes the fix is just error detection, or power cycling a specific section of circuitry to clear a latchup

Except I get water. I just want water, with no ice

Username checks out

Scarification is a form of body mod

No no, it’s an in cock, not an out cock. Like the difference between innie and outie belly buttons.

Is that really a thing…? Not me. But I also only have enough plants to keep my apartment a bit greener, I wouldn’t call myself a “plant guy” by any stretch

Also makes sense that in higher stress situations like combat, they’d be fighting for control more frequently than when they’re chilling in camp.

My buddy in South Carolina just sent me a faint pic, cool that it got that far south

Bonus pic of last night’s sunset from Denver. The sun has been good to us lately!

Oh hey neighbor!

I only see pH 1 in the cupboard, guess I’ll just have to chug 14 L of it today

Fond memories of trying out every single glitch I could find for Pokemon Gens I and II. A lot were a load of crap, but there were a few good ones

My favorite was the Pokemon cloning glitch in Gen 2. If you did it right, you could get all 3 starters and force your rival to have the starter of your choosing. It took a couple hours to do though, because it requires saving right before you get your starter and then not saving again until you’re allowed to catch your first Pokemon. And then repeating the process.

Yep, that’s what I’m doing! Plus a wig and some goggles and some black makeup to go around my eyes as if something just blew up in my face (apply makeup while googles on).

I’m a young millennial and it was still going strong in the 00s, so I believe it. My family of 5 no joke went through 1.5-2 gallons PER DAY in ~2005
