I know this is wrong, but when I think about time and dimensions, I think of the fourth dimension being like our physical first dimension, and the fifth like our second and the sixth like our third.

So the moment now that you are in would be the sum of all of your first, second, and third dimensions currently in the fourth dimension, and then the fifth dimension would be the sum of everything you are from the moment you are born to the moment you die, all of your fourth dimension movements making like a wibbly wobbly, timey, wimey thing, and then the sixth dimension would be all the potential times of all of the lives and experiences that ever exist.

Like I said, I know this is wrong, but this is what I enjoy thinking about.

I’m… Going to be… The next hoKAGE!

My guess is that the question is, “How old was god when he created the universe?”

or, for a darker take, “How old was God when he died?”

So what you’re saying is that having nothing to do with Lutris itself, there is a discord where people get together and say things that are hateful.

But we can still use Lutris. It does not mean that we are endorsing the hateful rhetoric of the discord, right?

Surprisingly, I’m much more okay with it if I’m lied to. If you tell me no, no, no, there are no bugs in this, and then I eat it, and I do not detect bugs in it, and it turns out after the fact that there were bugs in it, okay fine, you got me, fair game.

I speak for a sizeable portion of the human race when I say I’ll never voluntarily eat bugs.

I’d rather be forced to be a vegan.

No shade on you if you choose to eat bugs, it’s just not for me.

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the hammerhead shark as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the shark had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

If you have the lid closed, you’re looking at 3 to 15 watts to have a laptop running in the background doing some basic server shit.

Maybe a little more under high load, but those are going to be intermittent and not constant.

I’m just saying it’s not that much more electricity usage, and the recycling more than offsets the CO2.

In the original Civil War, the Confederacy had the land advantage and a surplus of people willing to fight.

The North had just as many people willing to fight, but also money.

And because they had money, they had better weaponry, better cavalry, and healthier, happier soldiers.

Further, there were many people in the South who did not agree with the Civil War and who supported the North’s conquest of the South.

The South was in a very bad situation financially and organizationally to fight a civil war, whereas Cascadia, being Washington, California, and Oregon would have quite a bit in its favor, Especially if we did something outlandish like ask the Chinese for help in exchange for a trade agreement.

Having a new country pop up between America and the far west would be disastrous for America’s financial stability.

I am not saying that we should start a civil war or that we should actually secede from the union. I am just saying that this would not resemble the civil war at all, and barring an early blitzkrieg or a nuclear assault, they could win.

I mean, yes, or we could annex the tip of Idaho and exile everybody that voted for Trump Or that does not swear allegiance to the new Republic of Cascadia.

Part of me would rather have Washington, Oregon, and California become the new Republic of Cascadia.

The other part of me would be happy to become a Canadian.

Either way works for me. Somebody just roll out the bill and I’ll sign.

I would actually prefer anonymous advice when I’m having issues in a relationship because typically when people gripe about their relationships they only talk about the bad things and they only talk to people that care about them.

This ends up making it so that the people you are talking to hear all the bad stuff about the other person, and that causes them to start to dislike that other person.

It’s too easy to build negative feedback loops that can destroy relationships.

If talking to the internet isn’t good and talking to your friends isn’t good, then the only thing that’s really valid and valuable left would be to talk to a relationship counselor, or a personal therapist, whose only goal is to help you achieve your goals in a way that is healthy for you.

Have you ever had a recurring dream before?

Like, over a period of several months or years or whatever having roughly the same content and the dream pop back up again?

I have friends who have dreams about going to work.

I have friends who have dreams about showing up to a hangout and hanging out with people.

I dream about leading a choir of nuns on a singing rampage through New York and fighting epic space battles where it turns out that the Darth Vader equivalent of my dream is actually my cousin, which I only learn after I kill him, where priceless and irreplaceable books on witchcraft are destroyed to make wrapping paper due to a shopkeeper’s error, where I am told mysteries of the universe and song and hear songs that have never been sung before.

Dreams are like your brain’s way of processing information and defragging your personality.

Everyone’s got different kinds of dreams.

forget what number you’re on and say, “um”.

Sorry, your insurance doesn’t cover that, so it would have to be out of pocket.

Bring a cashier’s check for $7,400 to lunch and we’ll take care of the rest! ❤️

I threw it in as a gimme or as a backup if they go AMD.

My real intent is to aim for the seventh gen intel processor or higher, as the intel quicksync encoders are better on the seventh generation than they are in the sixth gen.

That can help with encryption of files and decoding encrypted files for something like an opnsense box or wireguard.

And who knows, they might want to play around with some local AI stuff or jellyfin in the future.

I would recommend going for at least an Intel 7th gen or failing that some sort of computer that has an Nvidia GPU, 1050ti or better.

Those will help as you go further down the line with allowing some CUDA and Intel acceleration features and only adds a couple of dollars to the total cost of the system.
