So that puts you in your 70s with a father who’d be over 100 years old today, and you and your elderly siblings are all on Lemmy but share one single account for some inexplicable reason?

In addition to claiming to be writing a movie script, you also claimed in one of your previous comments to be “stationed where you have a T3 connection” which is where I got the “soldier” part from but I can understand how it can be hard to keep all the separate stories straight.

Your dad fought in WWII 81 years ago? Also didn’t you say you were an ex-coder (in addition to a nurse and now a soldier) but don’t know what the cloud is?

Absolutely not. You should peruse through their post history. They took the community over and expect everyone to act like their personal Wikipedia bot and slave away answering their dozens of inane questions each day.

Started with 5 seeds, now there’s just one. Unconnectable.

You can thank all the people claiming that you don’t need a VPN with port forwarding for that.

So that they’re not frozen into a single mass of filets when all you want is one or two.

Could be how much you’ve eaten prior to drinking. That can definitely make a difference.

I think training is crap because the leadership is crap and they set the tone for their trainees. My Repiblican loving uncle joined our city police force for a bit but quit because he said it was too corrupt.

In an environment like this where the leadership says what is and isn’t acceptable, anybody who doesn’t submit to the “blue line” gang style policing is pushed out and only the shitty cops remain.

Only tangentially related but I bought a bottle of OceanSpray cranberry last night and it was $7.75! I dont think I’ve ever paid more than $3 for a bottle of this stuff before.

It looks like it’s straight out of the Sysco order catalog.

Still better than Patnou (?) and their 200 absurd questions each day.

I cant wait to see some student claim that their “AI Agent” attended all their classes and did all their assignments for them, so they want their diploma from the college

I think I remember a story about a Hertz employee refusing to honor a reservation for someone from New Mexico because they claimed they needed an international driver’s license to rent the car since “they didn’t live in the US.”

Carbon Dating would be a good name for an online dating service for elderly people.

The reasoning is more about investigations getting better at catching murderers after their first kill, preventing them from ever becoming serial killers.

But that isn’t what’s happening. It’s a 50/50 coin toss whether someone gets caught for murder. https://www.statista.com/chart/28644/rate-of-homicides-that-go-unsolved-in-the-us/

What I’ve heard is that pollution (like lead and other chemicals) is what rotted children’s brains and made the murder rate skyrocket in the 70s, 80s, and 90s as they reached adulthood.

That’s fucking crazy. I think my 18 pack of Celsius is cheaper than that (per can) by quite a bit. I haven’t bought soda in a while but I always remember it being under $5 for a case. It’s mostly water.

I mean a fake plate that resembles a real one that someone else has registered.

People are probably more honest in NZ. In the US people are regularly screwed over all the time (usually by companies just like this) so we’re primed to screw over others at every opportunity.

I thought the birth rate declining was due to them requiring everyone to pixellate their genitals, which makes it much tougher to ‘line things up’

Interesting. What if you put a fake plate on your car?

“Great for drivers!” If you still want to smell like alcohol when you get pulled over but without having drank any.

The same reason why vapes are considered “tobacco products” despite not containing any tobacco and considered “flavored” if they contain any flavor (or no flavor) besides “tobacco” flavor (which is actually just caramel flavoring since vape juice has no flavor by default). It’s because politicians are stupid and short sighted and most of these regulations make little sense outside of government control.
