This used to confuse so many people because I swapped the hard drive for a 120 gig SSD. So I then had a 120 gig "60 gig" PS3. "the slim model?" No, the fat one "But then what model had...?" Yeah it was a pain to explain to some people what exactly it was.

Yes, we'll get right on that! Who is paying for it again?

I would say no, because he never was a part of the original. IIRC, he's a copy of this person's memories before they even died, so he forked the progression of memories? The original would have lived, and died, with no continuity going over to the clone. The clone, upon receiving these memories, believes himself to be the original, but he's wrong.

He was not even alive to begin with. Literally a robot following the instructions left by a recording of a human mind. He just thought he was a real human because the recording said/believed so.

A week or two? My mom's got two-year old pickles in the fridge that she's keeping to prove a point to me. I wouldn't eat them tho!

Humans live and have lived and will live in every conceivable place on this planet. What's gonna get wiped out is 99% of profits being made right now. We'll survive, but our institutions won't.

Everyone on every social media seems hostile these days. Maybe it's a reflection of society's anxiety?

...and that probably led to a three hour rant about who Liquid Snake is and why he's important to the absolutely insane plot if that series.

Always always check what version of blender the tutorial is for! Later versions have automated and fixed so much annoying shit that you had to do/fix manually in older versions. Blender 5.1 is way different to 2.8! Also it doesn't matter what menu it's in because you can just search for that tool with the search function, bind it to spacebar.

Blender is actually amazing now (>5.0) and I feel like lots of people tried 2.8 and got scared because it was janky and it turned them off Blender forever.

Everybody laughing at this comment needs to know that THIS DOES HAPPEN. Ex-employee had to return her laptop, so we send a UPS return label via e-mail. She shows up at the UPS store with the laptop in hand and is surprised when they tell her it needs to be in a box. We received the laptop inside the wildest combination of two boxes taped back-to-back and filled with garbage that didn't even form effective packing material.

Some people have literally never shipped anything in their life before, despite being 30 🤷

For the second time so far too! Everyone forgets how Mike Harris got elected upon the simple promise he would ban "photo-radar" as it was called then. Just like the truck speed limiters, people go apeshit when you restrict their driving speed. Bring back speed cams, slap a 105 km/h limiter on ALL vehicles! Bring it the fuck on!

Inertia. IPv4 still works, every service on the internet still available over it. You can just be lazy and things will be ok.

Complexity. IPv6 is complex in the areas where v4 sucks. Ran out of address space? Here's a lot more address space. Multiple routers offering multiple routes? Just grab them all, have as many addresses as you want. No method to find peers on the same subnet? Here's like three methods to find peers on the subnet. All this is stuff you gotta learn!

Workarounds. Initially, ISPs thought that people turned their PC off at night and they'd get the IP address back. Then, they were leaving multiple devices on all day! So they came up with a hack that pretends everyone is behind one IP address, now all your devices are just one IP. But that IP still stays up and occupied all the time, they're not getting it back, so they put all their customers under another (CG)NAT. It's just NAT all the way down whenever they run out, and this way they never run out.
