  • You're thinking of fungal. Fungible is when something shatters easily, like fungible ammunition.

  • Stephen Miller? The migrant? Yeah, sounds good. I heard he crossed the Darien Gap by eating five toddlers as rations.

  • Yeah, probably not. And they have never asked for an updated deposit. Still. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BLINDS.

  • New Bag!

    Jump

  • I have a mason jar vacuum sealer and when I get new dry food, I put it into the big jars and pump out the air, to keep it hopefully fresh and not dry it out. I think it works pretty well, but the cat is never so excited as when there's a fresh bag.

    I also get smaller bags than I used to, so it cycles through a bit faster.

  • Not all DNS hosts support that. Webnames.ca, looking at you...

    Also my workplace hosts their own dns and I think it will be a cold day in hell before they let me do automated updates.

  • The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

  • Storage, DoGE, and cognitive biases against tape

    Jump

  • It's not even that it's low-tech. Tape is high-tech, it's been updated over the years. LTO10s are targeting 36TB of data per tape.

    It's the pig-ignorant newbies thinking "hurr durr tapes are 1970s tech". Hard drives are also 1970s tech.

    They have their advantages and disadvantages, is all. They're not well suited for situations where you can't guarantee a clean room (or enclosed tape reader), for instance, since the tape medium is exposed to the air. Dust can mess it up REAL good.

    But for some situations, it's indispensable.
