Yesterday he knocked the cast iron I was too lazy to clean off the counter and onto the floor but it landed upside down so he spent the next 20 minutes pushing it around the house while I was at work. Ate a whole banana, peel and all too.

You are operating UNDERCOVER in a PUBLIC/OPEN-SOURCE forum. Your direct messages, post titles, and post bodies MUST NOT contain ANY animal-internal information. Do not blow your cover.

I don’t disagree, but I don’t use it either.

Can I ask why people still use dedicated email software? I’m sure there’s a reason. Maybe just familiarity, but I’ve never once opened my email inbox from anything other than a browser. It seems like a royal PITA.

Same. I actually built my first computer a year before prices went super saiyan but it sounds like you got an even better deal. My system is:

• Intel 14100 - $98
• 2×16 DDR4 Corsair 3200 - $57
• Asrock B660 - $98
• Corsair 80+ bronze PSU - $70
• 500GB Crucial SSD - $37
• Seagate 28TB HHD - $368

So $728 plus a cheapo case. Today it would be $1171 just casually picking the same parts from eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. That’s a 160% jump.

No worries. I understood and upvoted. This isn’t reddit so I tend to give everyone the benefit of doubt when it comes to connotation unless they prove otherwise. I took it as a point of information rather than an attempt to disprove or invalidate.

Fair enough. Good catch but at the least, what should/could have been a period of substantial growth in USPS revenue from 2006-2022 ended up being a period of time which has substantially crippled their operations.

I’d argue that’s half their function

You’re right, but you have to consider what USPS has to contend with. Its not the fault of USPS as a government provided service.

They need to fully fund their employees retirement health benefits 75 years into the future unlike any other company. This destroyed any sort of year-year operation funding they had in the oughts. So when they would have been able to reinvest into keeping services timely and efficient, instead they were forced to kick the can down the road to focus on retiree benefits for every single postal worker in the branch.

Package volume increased from roughly 3 billion in 2006 to 7.3 billion in 2025. Package volume in USPS essentially doubled while national package volume increased somewhere in the range of 10x. Which shows that companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon captured a majority of the market growth due to their liquidity and better margins. USPS is forced to deliver to every domestic address so they’re stuck with tougher delivery routes that cost more while the other private delivery companies hoover up lower cost/simpler deliveries. All while the primary revenue driver of first-class mail dropped like a rock due to the rise in email traffic.

This is all ignoring the fact that congress won’t allow them to upgrade their delivery fleet. They’ve been forced to manage their fleet of Grumman LLVs from 1986 as though its the ship of Theseus. They want and everyone else wants them to upgrade but they’ve been hamstrung time and time again by lawsuits and Oshkosh’s own inability to build an electric truck. Instead their deliveries still rely on trucks last built in 1994, making them at least 32 years old at this point, with no airbags, no A/C, and getting 8mpg.

OP just posting to show off their 64gigs of RAM, 1TB boot SSD, and 26TB of platter storage.

I too talk shit about myself whenever I’m being proactive about chores or tasks. What the fuck has future me ever done for present me? That guy’s an asshole.

Real Occam’s Razor sort of situation though

Pretty low bar. That’s why we have Amazon now. Just have a chuckle, maybe check Buds Bar and the next time you’re free call ahead. Its not that much of an inconvenience.

I guess I shouldn’t have said kernel, but it’s used in virtually all major distros other than like Alpine and Gentoo.

You’re right. It was the whole Linux kernel but it was published in the official repo for Debian so criticism for Ubuntu seems hypocritical

I don’t have a horse in the race, because Linux anything is better than the alternatives but I do think its funny that this infographic says Ubuntu has pushed malware through apt, but makes no mention of the XZ backdoor for Debian

I’d bet my life savings you don’t actually feel this strongly about honey bees. And secondly, honey bees don’t need “invasive agriculture” to survive or produce honey. They produce honey just fine from natural wildflowers and wildflowers benefit all the same from pollination.

That’d be very illegal and you’d 100% charged and prosecuted, but I agree with the sentiment

As an athletic trainer, I describe it like so:

Think of your muscles as a rubber band. If its cold, then its more at risk of snapping under load. To warm it up, you stretch it gently repeatedly. (Dynamic stretches) You don’t stretch it to its max and hold it there. (Static stretching) You’re just exhausting the elasticity. Saving static stretches for after activity keeps the rubber band from bunching up and sticking together as it cools down again.

An injured muscle could be described as being “colder” or like rubber bands stick together sometimes. And the best way to fix them is to work them back to normal in a controlled manor.
