Oh, I do the same for other things and didnt mean to imply you should do anything differently, everyone has their “line”. I’m just saying maybe you dont have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The Foo Fighters, particularly Dave Grohl, are some of the more humanitarian artists out there. Dave himself routinely puts on BBQs to feed the homeless. So considering your comment about actions having consequences, they’ve earned a little bit of wiggle room in my eyes.

But regardless, I respect ypur opinion and enjoy your weekend!

Oh, dont get me wrong, most anyone hoarding that much wealth is an asshole by default, but theres a lot worse out there than those guys. Hell, just this year Dave BBQed for 24hrs to feed the homeless, and has done many such events over the years.

Obviously it’s entirely your prerogative what artists to support, but I’m having a hard time understanding how the Fighters of the Foo accepting money from rich douches changes how you feel about them. Now, if they took an Amazon record deal and wrote a bunch of garbage jingles or something, then yeah, id bail on em too. But in this case, I don’t hink theyve done anything they havent done 1000x before; Played on a stage for a few hours, shook some hands, took some photos, and went home with some extra zeroes in their bank account.

What harm are they doing though? They’re being paid to do a private concert, not donating to their super PAC. It goes without saying that lavish spending on executives when people are being laid off is super gross, but at the end of the day I dont think the band did anything worth being chastised for.

Now if they can just spread that to the rest of Nintendo…

Mainly Fallout New Vegas, heavily modded. First play through and having a great time so far. Also playing Skul: Hero Slayer and Valheim. Skul is kicking my ass, but I’m getting there!

Certainly, but with its “lifelike” movement I couldn’t help but have a visceral response to seeing it’s knee blow out. Not something I anticipated watching a fancy hunk of metal hop around.

Ah, the old faithful, “legally binding until you spend a million dollars proving that it’s not” strategy. Classic.

Watching this robot land weird and shoot hydraulic fluid out of its knees makes me physically uncomfortable, but I gotta say it’s pretty neat how similar the “panic motions” to regain its balance are to human attempts to regain balance.

This got me thinking the other day… How on earth does tapping a square on your phone become a legally binding agreement? There’s no signature, verification of identity, etc., so how is me just saying “It wasn’t me who clicked yes”, not enough to totally invalidate this “agreement”? Especially in the case of forced arbitration clauses, if I don’t even provide my real information to Discord, how on earth could anyone legally say I can’t sue them?

It’s so convenient, I don’t understand why it ever went out of style

I hope the asshole that stole my CD wallet from my truck years ago is in a better place in their life now, but I’m still sore about it… Fucker…

Sweet, I didn’t think so, but doesn’t hurt to check!

I, too, praise the uptime, so your first suggestion sounds perfect!

Thanks again

Awesome write up, thanks for taking the time!

Definitely seems like docker is the way to go. I’ve currently got my NAS connected via ISCSI, but will I need to change that up when moving to docker?

I’m familiar enough with Linux to cludge my way through most things, but this will be my first time with docker (honestly stoked to learn it).

So would you suggest I get things squared away in docker first, then move things over, or should I fresh build everything directly into docker? Are there any weird artifacts or config issues with importing a backup from an existing windows installation of the *darr apps or similar?

My point is that what you described is basically a city with suburbs on a reduced scale. If a town is nice and successful, you’re gonna have people that want to move there, so your options are to build outward, upward, or not at all. It sounds like you’d prefer towns build upward rather than outward, which is obviously valid, but it’s a matter of preference. People who don’t mind living in an apartment will move into the city center, people who value space over commute will move to the suburbs.

Where I think things get turned around (in the states anyway), is the lack of community-run programs and local business owners. Community gardens, neighborhood solar cells, locally owned farms, grocers, and corner stores are all things I’d like to see way more of in suburban areas.

What a ridiculous thing to say…

So do you put a population limit on small towns? How do you think major Metropolitan areas got started? They didn’t just appear one day, they grew over time from small port and station towns…

Sure, there are inconveniences with living in the suburbs, but there are some positives. A dollar typically goes further than in the city, meaning more space for gardening, hobbies, kids, etc. You get to have neighbors without literally living on top of eachother. Usually more quiet then urban settings,etc.
