  • Big dick and big balls mean different things.

    A big dick move means you don’t really have justification for your actions: it is considered petty and everyone else thinks you are making a mountain out of anthill. Karens and Kents are just big dicks.

    Big balls means courage to stand up for your bounderies against an opponent who is trying to be a big dick and at first glance, it appears they have the upper hand. Dude stood up for theirself against adversity, and fuck yeah, they won. It took a lot of balls and some people would have just roll over and bitched about it. Complained and sounded like a weak asshole and in turn, they get fucked.

    But that’s not what dude did, and good on them. However, doesn’t quite fit the post.

    Right now, I am being a big dick, as this is inconsequential to both you and I generally, however I made it a point to try and correct you, which is rather pretentious. But I feel this is, personally, justifiable.

    So this comment is my submission to the OP’s question.


  • In the state of IL, to even threaten is considered assault. Meaning, you can’t say, “I’m about to hit you.” In many other states, assault is any impediment of one’s volition. Any use of force is battery, which is why the two are often paired together, and you can get charged with assault and battery.




  • Depends on the implementation. Some data centwrs gobble energy and use fresh water for cooling. Some have been caught using gas generators.

    We use graywater, which is freshwater that is then cooled and reused, if ever. So far, we found water cooling to be less effective than open air cooling. Additionally, we build solar farms and battery systems.

    We try to keep comsumption to a minimum and our goal is actually to provide toward the grid.

    But people like Meta, who felled 250,000 trees illegally, don’t give any fucks about the strain on the grid.

    Those are the ones people are upset about.

    We have a landscaping fleet who plant trees and flowers and maintain bee farms. We do this to cover the eyesore. We build out in non-residential areas on poor farming land.

    God, one site was just a mud pit if it rained. That one was hell to set up, but we finally got grass seeded and it grew in. Man, doing the networking at that site threw my back just walked in the mud. That was miserable.

    But other companies are going to failing farmers (failing by design because they are manipulating the government to fail those farmers) and buying their land ONLY to pull from the grid and water resources.

    The “big tech” oligarchs are the ones building the data centers that cause power outages and are wasting/polluting the water.

    Like, consider a PC with an AIO water cooling system. There is no cap on it for you to add water. That’s just gray water, cooled with fans and heatsinks.

    Now, imagine that instead, you hooked your computer to the sink and dumped the water into the toilet. That’s what some are doing.

    That is the bullshit people are rightly upset about. If we can do it environmentally, with our limited amounts of money, then they should be able to as well, as they are billionaires.

    That’s the issue.



  • The cook should be represented as the database.

    Back in the 80’s, my brother “hacked” a pizza place because he knew how they wrote green olives and black olives on their ticket. He dated a girl who worked there for a stint.

    I don’t remember how it worked and he has since passed, but it was something with the order that he would list the toppings that would fuck up the cook, so the order always came out wrong and boom! Free pizza.

    Doom. Meh. Pointless. Not practical.

    Now, running Doom from a database and acheiving 30 fps, now that’s impressive. Installing linux on your car’s computer, very impressive. Doom on your car’s computer?

    Well good job lowering the resale value. I pray they got the bluetooth and GPS to work.

    How are you this daft that I have to spend a week to explain my point?

    It isn’t like it makes me cool. I was talking about how I enjoy making shit.

    And I don’t fucking care about downvotes. I can’t cash in internet points. God, the voting system which Reddit and Digg used was supposed to be for relevancy, not about if you agreed or not.

    I don’t know you, and outside of the respect of general life, I don’t give a fuck what some random person on the internet thinks of me. In fact, I don’t want you to know me.

    However, if you met me, you would get a solid realization that text is a terrible form of communication.

    You cannot see the tone of my voice. You cannot hear the look on my face. You cannot feel my energy without a handshake.

    I don’t like toxicity over the fact that all I said was it isn’t practical to install Doom on your car.

    But you can hate me all you want. Don’t know why you specifically just want to rage on the internet as if this means a single thing to your life.

    The newspaper will come out after I am dead and I will not be mentioned.

    We have 8 billion people on this planet who want to judge me, so I won’t bother with doing your “job”.

    But I think if you did know me, you might be kinder and recognize I am not an asshole.

    I am a prick, and that is fair. Assholes get fucked. So… get fucked. I have to go to work.

    And an mp3 player, where you start with a personally designed pcb, solder on the components, design the core logic, write the code, attach an LCD, and print an enclosure. Meh? You build one.

    You’re so meh, I bet you think this comment is about you. You’re so meh! Don’t you, don’t you, dooon’t you!



  • Why are people just being assholes? I thought we were talking about computers?

    So which is it:

    Am I a prick because I said that they loaded Linux onto a car’s computer and they installed Doom, which is impractical, but certainly a cool feat to get Linux on there.

    But Doom? You can’t shoot imps while you are driving.

    You’re rocking a 5090? You doing video work? Mining?
