my sister said she craved bleach for her second pregnancy.

she abstained of course but the craving was there

there was discussion a while back on the lemmy github about federated communities

season three was passable at best. people only say it was good because the first two were so unbelievably dogshit

Yes it is, and i’m pretty sure that lieutenant in the bottom right of the image is a rather young looking Gemma Chan.

Jerboa is a bit hamstrung because it is written by the main lemmy developer who, understandably, has had to spend most of his available time dealing with the impact from lemmys sudden growth

“USSR managed to provide everyone with food, housing, healthcare, education, and jobs”

the victims of the holodomor would like a word

Nope, it’s still failed every time it’s been tried

Yup, what’s your point?

Exactly, Which brings us back to my initial point… True communism is impossible… try to keep up…

And yet, whenever communism is tried, a tyrant rises to the top.

True Communism is impossible to sustain in the real world. it requires someone unimpeachable at its head. It affords too much power and no accountability to those in charge. Even if it were to start out well, sooner or later corruption would seep in. Communism is impossible while human greed exists

my old dog was a bit like this, had to hold her collar far enough off the ground so that when she dropped it she couldn’t pick it up again…

Current woofer is completely the other way, catches the ball and immediately drops it since she doesn’t know what to do with it.

“i’m tired, boss”

i dunno, i keep getting into arguments with tankies. they like the downvote button

my old person trait is that i am a 30 year old caravanner

You know it’s a true accomplishment when there is blood on the toilet paper

It’s a bit like passing a really really big kidney stone

actually not a bad idea. i live in a flat so my car is parked in a car park like 200m away from my property. if my entire town goes up in smoke then i imagine that losing data would be the least of my problems

Yeah it is pretty rough although the files don’t necessarily change all that much so if i can set up a backup somewhere and prepopulate it with my data as it stands now then incrementally keep it update it with nightly jobs then i’m hoping it’ll mostly be done by the morning.

My backup backup plan would be to buy a couple high capacity solid state disks and either take them myself or mail them to my parents once a week. The mailman has pretty high bandwidth, even if the latency is rather rough

Definitely an option if I’m a bit more selective with what i back up. At the moment for the client backups i’m zipping and encrypting the entire home folder for each client once a week. I could probably write something that looks for file changes and uploads just those
