It seems like every so often Chapman’s makes the news, and every time, it’s Chapman’s being an all around awesome example that I wish other companies would follow.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

I’m not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can’t even figure out “my computer gets hot” I’m not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.

Yes, but this may be a symptom of an issue I’ve been seeing with younger programmers; they’ve siloed themselves so specifically into whatever programming they “specialize” in, that they become absolutely useless at dealing with absolutely anything else related to their job. And exasperating this issue is the fact that they’ve grown up with systems that “just work”. Windows, iOS, and android are all at the point where fucking around with hardware issues is very uncommon for the average person.

Asking this guy to solve a hardware problem is like asking hime to tune a carburetor. He likely has not the slightest clue how to start.

That’d be great, but I’m not sure how Canada is going to enforce Canadian law inside the US, and I imagine that he’s at least smart enough to stay out of Canada.

Well, Ontario has been talking about building some more nuclear reactors. I guess it’s time to change up the “reactor” part.

That falls squarely under the “don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to” category.

Nah, it won’t piss off any of them. They’ll do whatever mental gymnastics they have to keep their worldview intact.

“second fastest growing channel in cable television” eh? I guess that means they got one new viewer while everything else went negative.

Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

I saw one place that seemed to say that the address approval poll was among those who watched it. Could be that those who were likely to disapprove didn’t watch it in the first place.

You’d have to declare it and pay any import taxes on it, same as you would have had to do before the tariffs.

Me too. I’m on the right side of the border and would happily order from this company if they sell something I need.

Funny thing about International Law. It only ever seems to apply when when someone has the will and the power to enforce it. Who has the power to enforce it if the US is the guilty party?

Never thought of that. In my use case, Transmission is running in a container on my server, so it only ever has one connection, and VPN and traffic management happens on my router.

Do people still use transmission? That seems like be the default one I see in prebuilt torrent server containers.

Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.

Without. I’m a fairly tall dude myself, so looking upwards at a woman was a bit of a novel experience.
