If I caught a fish that fit exactly in the weird bricks on the sidewalk I’d brag about it too!

adhocfungus@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you call your mom? (Or moms what do your kids call you?)2·3 days agoThat’s how I always imagine it when I read it too. Joel from Marvelous Ms Maisel says it almost exactly the same which just reinforced it.
adhocfungus@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you call your mom? (Or moms what do your kids call you?)4·3 days agoYeah, I’ve got mine in my phone as “Don’t answer”, but she changes numbers a lot and borrows phones so I still fall for it sometimes if I’m expecting an important call and have to answer unknown numbers.

adhocfungus@midwest.socialto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Average US Car-Brained Citizen Starter PackEnglish7·4 days agoI saw a study once that you only need to take 20% of the cars off the road to cut congestion by half. So every person who takes public transit equates to more than one person off the road, for those still driving. Which is just to say these people should be extra grateful instead of constantly defunding it.

adhocfungus@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If government hackers can infiltrate big companies, why not hack normal people?5·6 days agoAlso your data is meant to be private and accessed by a single person. Basically a big wall around your stuff with a single door.
Corporate data, by design, needs to be accessed by many people inside and outside the company. So they are adding another door for each person, department, or API that needs access. Even if the wall is higher and stronger, it’s still full of doors to try.
adhocfungus@midwest.socialto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Might be time to find another job57·6 days agoAt one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people’s food. Every time somebody complained he’d put up a sign and start “investigating”, but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn’t care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
adhocfungus@midwest.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Update to last week's BestBuy Shenanigan. They refused to refund me after not delivering me the stuff I ordered after a so-called "investigation".English8·7 days agoOn the flip side, I ordered something on eBay specifically to avoid Amazon and I still got a package from Amazon. Some people are basically just using an automated eBay account as a front for Amazon and pocketing the tiny margins.

adhocfungus@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•Jury awards $2.25 million to Georgia couple in suit over autopsy images of decapitated baby161·12 days agoIt was an internal decapitation, provided this isn’t a second similar case I hadn’t heard about (which would be an awful trend). The whole thing was a mess, with the doctor trying to cover it up and then brush it off like it was a Three Stooges act instead of people’s lives and emotions.
I like the concept, and I think it would fit the definition of democracy since it reflects the will of the people. The main issue I see is that it still remains stable if a majority superclass oppresses a minority underclass. Tyranny of the Masses is a problem with most forms of democracy, not just yours.
One tactic to mitigate it is by only doing a random sample each time instead of a full sample. So randomly select 20% of the population, require them to vote, and if 50% of them vote in favor then there’s no election. That only works if the mechanism to randomly select people can’t be tampered with, though.
Sometimes as low as $1 per day, sometimes up to $50 per day, all dependent on the state and specific prison. Hawaii doesn’t charge, so get locked up there if you follow through with this plan!
Sure, private prison execs already get to hoover up taxpayer money, and they profit from the slave labor, but how else would they get filthy rich if they stopped profiting off you just because you finished your sentence?

I have the same question except it’s a Pi B+ from 2014. It doesn’t seem powerful enough for most Pi recommendations I see online.
You’d better hope that art is good enough to pay for your prison rent or you’ll be in debt for the rest of your life. Especially given how tough it is to get a traditional job afterwards.
The setup based on the first image+caption would lead you to believe the second image will relay how boys feel if a girl walks into the locker room. The second half instead subverts that expectation by having a too-accurate caption of a strange image, unrelated to locker rooms.
