THERE’S A DONUT SHORTAGE IN INDIANA??!
I’ll airlift some in, you can price gouge them, we’ll split the profits.
I am trying to focus on posting source documents, as opposed to someone else’s reporting on source documents.

I can only hope it was with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I’m sure that by “outsiders” you mean “people who go outside,” and I agree.

Because you clearly do not know what that term means.
I am right now sitting on a Steelcase Series 1, and while it doesn’t have great lumbar support, it is far better than any shitty $150 “gaming” chair, and is right in your price range brand new.
Why have I never seen this before?
Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.

That’s so reddit.
Our subdivision was built in about 2004. They didn’t put dark fiber in the ground, for some reason. It took about fifteen years for a private company to come in and lay fiber. I had Comcast/Xfinity at the time (I think it was 250Mb, and definitely asynchronous), who had already started sending out their promotions for gigabit internet service, so I called them up to see if I could get that. “That’s only available if you get internet and TV and phone.”
Oh, so you can give me just gigabit internet, but you won’t give me just gigabit internet.
It was another year before the fiber service was lit, I was the first person to get it in my neighborhood, and it is absolutely fantastic.
Sure, but they really should be describing it as 10Gb (gigabit). Even that could easily get confused with 10GB (gigabyte), which would be used for a file size.
This is especially true if a simulated universe is indistinguishable from base reality - so perfect in all its aspects that it is identical.
You can also get into the fact that we do not and can not objectively experience reality, simulated or not. Our experience and perception is based on the senses we have, which are inaccurate, and the brain that interprets the inputs, which makes shit up and is wrong all the time. Yes, we can use tools and measurements to enhance our perception and make it more accurate as far as understanding is concerned, but we actually each live in a universe manufactured by our own mind.
I don’t find the distinction particularly useful. We seek to understand more accurately how our universe works, with disregard to whether it is direct reality or simulated reality. The increased accuracy that we discover may result in our knowing whether we are in a simulation, or it may not.
Either way, something is base reality, whether it is our universe as we observe and experience it, or some number of simulated levels “below” it. Our own state as simulated or real doesn’t change that. There is isness.
Bring a second bike along with you, and lock it with a $10 combination lock chain.
All you have to do is think about this reasonably (I know, I know). Undocumented immigrants to the US want to come here so badly that they’re willing to do it outside of the law. They know full well that if they get caught just for that, they’re in a fuckload of trouble. It is clearly in the immediate, direct, and personal best interest of an undocumented immigrant to stay well clear of law enforcement. This means - wait for it - not breaking any other laws.
Undocumented immigrants have a very strong incentive to be absolutely well-behaved.
I was so confused for a moment.
While that’s not strictly a Guy Fawkes mask, holy shit does the non-blurred version get even stupider. It’s like the people who picked the image for the story thought, “Even we can’t put up something that stupid.”
I haven’t even gotten to the text of the story, because I was stopped in my tracks by the stupidest stock photo I have ever seen, wherein someone in full riot gear with an ultra-modern machine pistol is prepared to shoot someone at point blank range, when they’re already in handcuffs, which are, inexplicably, in front and not behind. And how cold is it in that basement that you’d be working while wearing a hoodie (with the hood up, of course) and a jacket zipped up over it?
Huh, kbin.social ate it then.
Edit: I’m seeing it there as “deleted by creator.”
WFH, desk job, multiple monitors, remain sitting at the desk after work because fuck outside.
