Yeah, extracting an estimated 64 Trillion(!!!) in wealth from the subcontinent probably had little effect, nothing to see here

Yeah, that’s pretty much my attitude. Why am I worrying about a watt here and a watt there when muppets are constantly asking LLMs inane questions and getting them to make dodgy hentai.

I have a whole bunch plugged in constantly for various synth nonsense. Running off solar, I thought it would be worth seeing how much of a difference it makes turning everything off at night, and basically it wasn’t worth the effort. It’s like a percentage point on top of the things like my fridge that run constantly, and is way less than using my toaster once a week. That said, if you’re on mains, it’s probably a worthy consideration if a lot of people were to do it, but it’s also probably comparable to using ChatGPT once a day or something

Fantastic, thanks, that’s a good resource even if they don’t have the specific ones I’m after

I should have specified, shouldn’t I? Auto/commercial/plant. I seem to only buy gear that doesn’t have readily-available workshop manuals

It’s one thing being the scourge of the high seas, it’s quite another being so powerful that you can surrender completely on your own terms. “I’m going to retire now with all my power and ill-gotten gains, and you’re going to like it”

Meshtastic network is a communication system that doesn’t rely on mobile phones. Have a look at it, it’s simple, secure, cheap, and rapidly growing

“I’m your huckleberry” has been a part of my lexicon ever since seeing that film, a really great role

Conversely, I’m coming to the conclusion that I could probably live with just a steam deck, instead of a laptop etc. A portable screen, or my projector, my nice Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and I reckon it’ll do everything I really need day-to-day.

Before “blowing up” meant trending on Xitter

There’s always one

P.I.C.N.I.C.

It forgot “carry on with the shooting of morally bankrupt CEOs”, but I suppose you can’t blame it for not being bang up to date

A penny pillaged is a penny earned

That figure’s come down significantly since the age of vikings though

I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny

And I’ll be fucked if I can get them right first time round half the time!
