    For All Mankind

    Space is not a true vacuum. There is hydrogen all over the fucking place. If you can contain a fusion reaction magnetically, which is what the show suggested (and seems the likely direction of nuclear fusion) then you can certainly scoop it up magnetically while in flight. The point of them...

    Dating

    The closest I ever got to a dating app was meeting my wife playing EQ, which is not a dating strategy I can recommend to anyone. But I worked at a Cali college IT department so I was somewhat aware of the culture behind it. There absolutely were different options for women than men in some of...

    Dude this is not the forum for that kind of discussion. I am not going to engage you here, so please adhere to the rules of the Grownup Forum and start this convo elsewhere if you want to have a chat about it.

    Dating

    Show me where I or anyone else in this thread have said anything about entitled Dallas women that you yourself has not also stated prior. Show me where anything I said was an attack on your wife. Or is being interested in someone's opinion and agreeing with it an attack now? You are arguing...

    Gonna take a wild guess that the mainstreaming of dick chopping troons might have factored into it somewhere, too. They were invading women's spaces en masse starting around then, most notable for that being about when lesbians got knocked off their perch high in the SJW Virtue rankings and...

    You really need to learn some chill and stop peceiving differences of opinion as personal attacks. It is poisoning everything you are trying to communicate.

    Well that would track with a lot of the opinions in this thread. I happen to agree with it, especially if these are downtown Dallas career women.

    Like I said, her perspective on your friends would be interesting and probably the most unvarnished and unbiased one we could ask for.

    You asked if it was possible for them to keep in group gossip away from men. I cannot speak on the app because I have no personal experience with any of that shit, only second hand information. But we both know women love to complain about shit all the time. But they never actually want a...

    For All Mankind

    Everything in this show started ignoring hard science once they got past the initial base on the moon. And even then, it severely ignored the issues with low gravity on human biology (reproduction is basically impossible) and all the radiation issues on Mars. And don't get me started on them...

    Dating

    Not so sure, that stupid app for tracking dudes dating history did not really get a lot of public attention until it got breeched by some chuds. And women have a natural cloaking field for stuff like that, mostly because men tune a lot of their drama out automatically as a mental health...

    Also, get out of the cities if you can. The keepers are all mostly in rural areas.

    The Odyssey (2026)

    If they wanted that, I am sure McLovin is available. It is almost like Nolan is trying to tank his own career by cramming in as much DEI ragebait as he possibly can.

    You are in Dallas. To find women more entitled than Dallas you basically have to go to LA or New York in this country. But really, women perceive everything through an emotional lens. What @OU Ariakas is describing tracks with my experiences from my 30s, which was 20 years ago. Things have...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    For those who have not gotten one, the new Snapmaker is fucking amazing and super easy to get running. Probably the best printer in my wife's lab. Just get the metal hot ends/nozzles for it asap and you literally never need to do anything else with it.

    That would be the retard demographic. People who think beyond the current moment make plans to avoid driving under the influence. In the current age of Uber and home booze delivery, it has never been easier to avoid that sort of disaster, even if you lack the self discipline to control your...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Nightreign is a poopsocker's game. Don't get me wrong, it is fine for what it is, but its basically a coop looper game with an Eldern Ring skinsuit for the next level autists. As an old man who likes the relaxing methodical fighting of most Souls games, its not my jam. Plus I am a console...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I have kept warning my superiors about this (big push toward Claude here and no one seems to be taking costs into their calculus atm) and keep getting hand waved. Our mostly non-technical leadership seems to think this is a magic wand that will cut staff costs and solve everything, even though...

    The Boys

    Source material was ok for its time. Its just that the woke psyop went public shortly after its run, so its kind of in this half assed middle space and Rogan and Garth tried to turn it into Orange Man Bad the series, kind of like they sort of did with Preacher. And to make matters worse, they...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    For the travel router, yeah I had to check constantly. People were scalping them for like 4-5x the retail cost, too. As for their home security stuff, they had a whole separate platform of camera, door, and motion detector products and the routers used to come preloaded with the software...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Beat me to the punch here, but yeah. I have a specific VLAN for our printing lab that we share with our friend who uses it with us (and has most of his set up at) so he can send and monitor jobs. We also have home brew apps for some of my homebrew board and TTRPG games running on our NAS that...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Yeah I was doing tech support for the German club and two other paying clients. Remote admin was incredibly useful, if you get everything set right. I am personally using a UDM Pro that I upgraded to when I moved to my new house, along with a bunch of managed switches and a dedicated gateway...

    All women are essentially like orangutangs in the sense that they never let go of the prior branch before securing a hold on the new one entirely, though it varies by both demographic and individual. The need to have an invisible 50 mile umbilical cord with their mothers is one of the main way...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    When I ponder this situation, I think of the movie Margin Call. Its a great movie, which I highly recommend. In it, one of the core threads is that the company in question deliberately begins the 2008 crash in order to be the first one to sell off its shit positions to ensure the survival of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have no idea why, but bitches go crazy for Olive Garden for some reason. It crosses all racial and social boundaries. Italian food in general tends to make women excited but there is definitely a specific Olive Garden fetish. It is literally the only place I can open the bid with when my...

    Friends

    Cad and Khane have the most critical reasons, but to summarize it takes effort to make real friends once your out of the education bubble and not forced to interact with a bunch of people you might otherwise avoid interacting with. Most people have co-workers and maybe a hobby community as...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    In my personal experience, most companies will opt to limp along band-aiding existing systems rather than invest in something newer. They only move up the updated path if forced or if the newer option has rather immediate ROI (usually through reducing workforce or physical asset infrastructure...

    First of all, you are describing narcissism. Second I am pretty sure if they made the president a secret foreign agent with a tranny "wife" the same people hand waving this shit would be reeeeeing their asses off. The real sin for me is that its eye rolling and just not funny or entertaining...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I dub this phenomena Schrodinger's Poo, which basically means when it makes things look good Poo numbers are included and when it does not, the reverse happens. Its massaging statistics but done in a way to make things look more rosey and obfuscate how much horse shit with H1B Poo infestation...

    That probably makes you the longest tenured poster at this point. Most of the UO guys packed it in a long time ago. I personally arrived here because I followed some folks from Toril MUD to the EQ release, playing on Veeshan with a lot of that crowd. I was not aware of it fully at the time...

    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    A lot of the old guard is long gone. I think if you could do a headcount of those of us who were around during the noows era, that 10ish number is probably about right. We lost a bunch to the hoofshots spat and a bunch more to the Jeffylys shit. But really when the core old guard hung it up...

    Good work output never comes without a toll. Some people are social cancer, others just straight up assholes (me), and others sketchy/untrustworthy. Learning to cope with that to get shit done is pretty much the way you get to be successful as a leader, especially in IT. Well adjusted people...

    That or there is a Poo with a title up the food chain you are not aware of orchestrating things to increase the infestation.
