woa it hasn´t even started raining yet and we are having blackouts
my ccomputer turned off
and came back 2 seconds later
the PSU somehow managed to keep it on
I could hear the lights in the house flicker on and off repeatedly for a few seconds in a quick succession going “bzzzt bzzzt”
then a minute later it happened again
at which point I just turned off the computer. im not gonna risk frying the motherboard
i waited 50 minutes and it hasnt happened again so i turned it back on
do i need to replace this PSU
:monkaHmm:

i think at this point maybe we have to accept
that gen z’ers just have a different food photo aesthetic
no longer in the realm of instagram
but rather dominated by tik tok
it’s tiktok-influenced photography
that’s why he keeps taking these portrait photos
he can’t see in landscape
there needs to be room for a catchy joke subtitle
you don’t get that in landscape

like this. the photo is primed for this.

I’m thinking of buying a small fridge and turn off the regular family sized fridge that came with the apt because it makes a lot of noise

Idk I need to think how much of the current fridge space I can optimize – for example if I’m going to have this bag of dumplings sit in the freezer for 2+ months, maybe I should just throw it away. Etc.

Maybe something like this 3cu one

I currently don’t use too much fridge space

As for the old fridge, just keep it there, powered off, use as storage cabinet
I’m also gonna measure the current fridge noise in decibels, maybe the difference in noise won’t be big

current noise level is 44db when it’s working. most mini fridges claim 37db

also i wonder is it making a lot of noise because i often forget to completely close shut the fridge door

> why did she censor the knife blade?

youtubers and streamers are not very informed on the legal side of things
rumors go around ssaying “oh hear hear, so and so got banned from X platform because they showed a knife on stream”
and viewers and commenters keep passing on the message because they think they are helping the youtuber
to the point it just becomes a “fact of life”
that’s probably why she blurred any knife
the funny thing is, I think it is highly likely that the original source of the “you can’t show weapon on stream/youtube” was probably some right wing weirdo who was angry that they or their favorite right wing streamer got banned, and tried to twist the ban into a “oh look youtube is so stupid the creator just showed a gun on stream and that was cause for a ban, so stupid”
when the cause of the ban was probabbly a bigger problem like espousing nazi viewws or something
butt they tried to attack youtube using that line of argument
and after a while, the whole fight and argument got lost
and only the random context-less “you can’t show weapons on stream” stayed as a groundless “truth”

someone do a linear regression of greek letter assignments to covid virus variants over time and carve a stone calendar where the last day is when the omega designation gets placed
then hide the calendar in a cave or something

> Can I join ICE if I have daca?

are you gonna post it on the facebook group?

“i wanna join ICE, and my brother says that i shoould be able to with my DACA. but I’m EWI, does that complicate things?”
“btw also i haven’t renewed it after trump promised to pass the dream act take care of us and cancel DACA in 2017″
“my friend who already joined ICE last year says that I should be able to apply from Ciudad de Mexico”
“how do I apply for CBP to subsidize my flight and lodging costs while the consulate is processing my paperwork? I’m low-income”

“prompt responses would be appreciated because I just landed in CDMX; meeting with my uncle who is hooking me up with notarios so it’s getting kinda busy”

“i packed some edibles along for the trip. what forms do i need to fill out to file this with customs? you know, to keep things documented”

“Alonso is also with me because family wanted to get all this taken care of and over with. Alonso is 14 years old, btw, so he needs to get back before classes start”
“Alonso says he has some headache. are there spots in the city where he could get vaccinated without an appointment? He almost didn’t notice the kitchen fire last night until the alarm went off”

“auntie says that I got a court summons in the mail at our home in America because of the store window that got broken because neighborhood bad hombres were having a fight with my friends.

i think this is the third one.

i don’t think my job interview and consular process would be done before the trial date though. maybe i can arrange to have ICE send a letter to the court requesting an extension?”

i sorted through some of the boxes and random shit i had left stored inside the closet
now i have a roadmap to get rid of shit in storage through 2022
this might be the biggest accomplishment of the day unfortunately

in this sense it’s nice to have a big apt, you can have projects on hold for months on end without them impacting any of your daily routines because there’s space to stow away so much stuff

i’m gonna go to the salvation army thrift store thursday to donate blankets and oversize clothes

i found that amtrak has a $7 cancellation fee
but if you reschedule the reservation, which is free,
then it’s considered to be a new reservation
and then it fits wtihin the time frame during which fee-free cancellation is allowed (not sure how long the time frame is)
and then you can cancel it for no fee
-_-

the implicit message i’m getting by the govt not going too gung ho on the booster is something like:
“guys, normally boosters (and this early) wouldn’t be something we even strongly recommend (seems a bit of an overkill) but because covid-19 is still a pandemic and there’s millions of people with the virus walking around,. we want to be extra cautious and that’s why we recommend the booster shot.

HOWEVER, our biggest concern is the 30% of the population that has not even taken the first dose, so we will be busy with that group for a good long while – in the meantime, please take your booster. mostly to keep yourself safe, and yeah it will also help the general public health.

now, get out of the way while i go to talk to some republicans”
that’s the message i’m reading from the govt… without actually knowing anything about what a booster is or what they do :kek~1:

I read about NFTs the other day and saw that it has no enforceability on digital item ownership (obviously, this is the internet after all, not Facebook)
So
NFT on digital items is just the good ole contract
With fancy tech slapped into the inventory system
:facepalm:
Why are we paying for an inventory system
Just sign a contract where I the buyer bought a digital item and they assure me that I am the sole owner.. boom paper NFT
