I have butchered squirrels, deer, turkey, snakes, catfish, goats, pigs, and rabbits. Went vegetarian two years ago for ethical reasons though, so I guess I don’t get to raise my hand lol
On The Nature Of Mass Movementa, by (I think) Eric Hoffer. One of the things he claims is that mass movements are generally made up of the dispossessed and dissatisfied who want better conditions but are not quite suffering enough that their entire focus is on acquiring food. People have to feel as if they could improve their circumstances by revolting, but not be actively starving.
I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.
I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, sam-I-am.
Tarlov then said […] “Scrabble can be a tough game”. Co-host Greg Gutfeld replied, “So is life!” before admitting that he has never played Scrabble.
Highly recommend Inscryption. It’s a fantasy-mystery-horror deck builder that turns into a surreal, recursive, experience. It’s a masterpiece.
I’m mainly concerned about:
Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?
I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.
That pointing arms going to get tired.
Fucking hell.

This is not correct.
The word “woke” as a political term predates that group- York started trying to found a group in 1967, and “woke” was first used to warn black men of threats from racially motivated whites in 1931, by a singer named Lead Belly, then even more directly as a political term in 1971 in a play called “Garvey Lives!”
Whether York used it that way or not, it’s clear that he didn’t invent the usage.
I’m pulling most of this info from Wikipedia and Google to save anyone else reading the effort.
It’s not an acronym.
It originally meant “awake” in English, kept that meaning in the American black community after it fell out of use among whites (e.g. “I was having trouble staying woke on the drive”), and was repurposed as slang. The slang meaning was “to be aware of prejudice or racism”, with the implication that many blacks were “asleep”, i.e. accepted excuses for racist systems, believed that racism wasn’t a big deal anymore etc.
I’m not sure whether the word was adopted seriously by leftists generally before the right, or immediately became a catch-all label on the right, but either way, it’s become the latter.
Conservatives and some left-critical leftists now use it as a broad term that refers to things like DEI initiatives, anything trans, etc.
Might want to add River Tam from Serenity as well.
I had Kagi for a bit and enjoyed it, but I’m not sure I use search enough to justify the price tag.
I didn’t know about the personalized SEO thing- I wonder if you could have a “default SEO rank” that would basically average all the specific uprank/downranks from other users. So power users tweak their algo, and everyone else gets the benefit of using that human feedback to improve their results.
Man, that game looks sweet! I didn’t know it existed.
I appreciate your vital contribution to this discussion.
Seems like a pain, but possible. It would make a good story.
