Exactly.

“It’s a bad thing now because it’s affecting me and I want others to step in and help.”

Apparently 20 years in the US Navy teaches you how to be a total bitch.

Says the guy that, despite money, only managed to peak at a generous 5/10 for a very brief moment long before most of us were born.

Even gussied up and in his 20s, he still always looked like Mr Toad.

Oh, hey cousin!

Yeah, because Trump and the idea of a republic are so aligned.

Basic science. Numbers above 1 are more than 1. This is supposed to be your thing, oh grand fittest one.

Sadly, not. It’s just some influence, but negligible. We are both gravitationally connected to Earth. If Earth go poof, we both enter a solar orbit and eventually drift apart at a rate dependent on where the moon was in its orbit before Earth checked out.

Show us how the strongest and fittest do it with that esteemed advantage of “basic science”.

Fuck the ecoologists. We await you and your cat’s venture into the realm of 5d natural selection chess. May all living things not deemed cute and cuddly disappear so the strongest and fittest live on, unhindered forever more.

And you have had two scientific studies presented to you at this point, so, we’re sorry we failed in presenting arguments. Backhanded comments is all we have left now. It’s what plants need.

I wouldn’t bother. If they’re this simple and loud about whatever they think they comprehend of evolution and natural selection concepts, you know them and their cat are ironically nature’s food in the first 48 hours detached from society’s teet. Lucky for them, we keep getting better at keeping the weakest around. Mike Judge does a good film about it.

All of Oceania is this. There’s a lot of unique land animals that evolved with no threat. European colonisation really fucked that entire region and the ecosystems within.

On average, each roaming, hunting pet cat kills more than three animals every week. The numbers add up. On average, over a year each roaming and hunting pet cat in Australia kills 186 animals. This number includes 110 native animals (40 reptiles, 38 birds and 32 mammals).

That’s for Australia’s 3.7M pet cats that aren’t kept indoors 24/7. So that’s approx 407M native animals killed each year by cat lovers that don’t responsibly take care of their cat—71% of cat owners. Factor in other contamination and habitat destruction, you can expect that to be closer or even over half a billion native animals killed each year.

So, yeah, Oceania countries will hunt and kill cats. And anyone that doesn’t keep their cat inside or at least bell it’s collar, is a real piece of shit. Certainly doesn’t give a fuck about animals and the environment. It’s a totally different part of the world to Eurasia where it’s fine to just have strays all over the countryside because they’re actually a part of the functioning ecosystem.

I’ve camped at Silverton before—where most Mad Max were shot. There’s a campground a few kilometres out.

It was 53C (127F). Didn’t drop below 40 until 1am. No drugs needed; just go loony in the heat.

Every self professed anarchist I’ve come across on Lemmy has said things or expressed ideas that oppose anarchism. Cringe every time. I imagine they have pictures of V and Joker—definitely not anarchists—on their basement wall.

Even then, 14 year old me still figured out how to recover my data from the disk after my “system crashed”. Took a trip to the library to Google it and grab a list of CMD commands.

There’s just no way that data is magically gone from cloud or system failure.

Soooo… The current federal administration is a terrorist organisation.

I’m starting to think the.American.2A only exists for school shootings and the like, because it’s clear no one actually exercises it as intended beyond that and personal hobbies.

SQL enjoyer?

Every time I use it I feels like I’m going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery…👍

UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”

looks up better way

“Oh, what the fuck?!.. Nope, this will just be quicker…” UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL…

Join in a table sharing column names… Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc… Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it’s fine…

“When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?”

“Okay. Yep. Easy.”

“So why can’t you do that with expressions?”

SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY

“Okay, okay, okay!.. Jesus…”

And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…

I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so…ugh.

Registration Status: Registered.
Beacon Type: EPIRB.
406MHz GPS (Cat. 2) 66-channel. Beacon Status: Operational.
Battery Expiry Date: 01/10/2028.

It’s UIN—which I obv won’t give lol— doesn’t hold an MMSI. The main reason being EPIRBs aren’t just for marine craft.

I have a handheld one—to float with me in a liferaft, etc—and it gets registered to a vessel or vehicle. Whenever I want to use it on something different, contact the federal government, advise of the new vessel ID or vehicle registration, and it’s now associated with the new one.

I don’t think it matters much since it is a beacon after all, but I think it helps in searching. Also, a lot of other details are registered along with it so they know who to send the tens of thousands in fines to if I somehow bypass all three “Are you really sure?” switches and fire the thing off inappropriately.

No I’m not. I’m not even talking about these people at all.

Weird your brain would just fire straight to that thought and then attack the straw man it made. You didn’t even think about the glaring conflict against empathy that would be first, huh?

That your toxic irrationality and you can keep me out of it, thanks.

Also, be aware that if it is debit and not credit card, it can take quite a while for the hold to come off. This isn’t on the gas station, it’s on how quickly your bank handles them. My bank it’s around 2-3 business days, but I know some it can be up to four weeks. Granted, this is my experiences in Asia and around Europe, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same in the US.

If you think that’s the case, confirm with your bank before you using it and accidentally end up with a few hundred on your account just stuck there for a while.

“And all that pesky DEI crap, ugh! This is so much easier. Now it’s just this, pride month, and saying we planted a tree for our customers to offset their consumerism; which is their fault, not our’s. We honestly deserve a tax break.”

Exactly 👍
