@drinkingpony My condolences. I'll rather stay at home, shut everything down and not sweat to death or die of a heat stroke. I just used up all my rescue blankets and decorated every window I can with its silvery reflective goodness to keep the heat outside.

@drinkingpony I'm 100% sure it's not oxydation, copper is intact and copper oxyde isn't gooey and transparent

@drinkingpony Bakelite is a type of plastic. Many products were made of bakelite until modern plastics like ABS were invented. And it will destroy itself because it lacks any endstop switches but I will install some that I have laying around. The pro aspect of it is that it has support for lasers and the spindle is a bit more precise. I will test it when I come back from work.

@scribus @drinkingpony Sub-zero doesn't kill them, considering they made a colony on the phone line box thing outside despite a week of antartic wind consistently dropping the temperature below 0ºC
Haven't tried suffocation. I've used alcohol and contact cleaner to completely clean them off but they show up again. They're probably airborne as there's no way they could have gotten inside the tv remote by contact. -
@drinkingpony @thismightbeauser No, probably in the sci-fi future fungicide for this specific thing would be readily available.
For now I'm trying to figure out what is good at killing them and doesn't mess with circuitry. There's not a lot of info on them that's easy to get, most of it is academic research on them and how electric polarization affects the distribution of colonies, not on how to get rid of them. -
@drinkingpony There is no future. The world becomes suffocated by pollution in 2050.

@drinkingpony *Taps feet excitedly and makes cat-like screeching and hissing noises*

@drinkingpony It's not nearly as bad as it was since the site blocks posts with links in it via a plugin. Most bots have links in their posts so it only lets manual posters through, which is pretty hilarious in a way, that there's someone out there making these posts manually. (Time between the first and second post: 5 seconds. Time between the second and third: 2 seconds)

@drinkingpony And on that day, pony will finally have ponied pony

@drinkingpony And you are right. Any cheaper and they always come from China. I don't want to cheap out and pay what I saved in import duties.

@drinkingpony I bought a SainSmart Genmitsu CNC 3018-PRO https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07G55SNZW for 220€ on a deal. There are cheaper variants of this but they come from smaller companies that are less reputable and I don't trust them much. The reviews are OK but that's to be expected for a barebone device of that size. If I want to do more and bigger things I can still make a bigger one with this and a 3d printer like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:790533

@drinkingpony yeah, the threshold was “he showed up at my store”. I feel like regardless of whether or not it actually affected me mentally, seeing the guy who tried to sexually abuse me is at least a little bit noteworthy.
-
@drinkingpony I mean a) this was a YEARS ago thing, b) everybody already knows about it, and c) I personally don’t actually care that much

@drinkingpony My mother is so frightful in respect to computers that she rather does nothing than anything when a message window appears. She uses her computer mainly for looking for images, google maps/earth, writing greeting card texts and printing, and SOLITAIRE. So there won't be anything infecting her PC. I don't use any anti virus (none on Linux duh) except for Windows Defender because it comes with Windows and does the least amount of damage.

@drinkingpony As a consumer of the new canon (having all the comics that came after the switch) and having only glimpses of experience with the old canon I'm heavily biased. As far as I have gathered the old canon is guilty of several stupid things like clones of Palpatine and Luke and such that appears to be fan-fictiony as well.
-
@drinkingpony Oh, ehmm, by the way, skip to the 3 minute mark unless if you want the salty unrestrained super right 'funny' opinions of a sock-puppet that was intentionally made just to be all that.
Though if you want to go in knowing that, the more power to you. Mostly because... Lord of the Rings... Yeah Chuck Wendig went "That thing is bad for I can not read it T_T" -
@drinkingpony I understand the implications that a strong woman character being played as a joke but I'm OK with that (being a joke not the ridiculing of a woman). If you want a badass Phasma then it can be only found in other media (comics, books, TV).

@drinkingpony They'll probably still die by a hit on their head.

@drinkingpony "umbilical cord scar thing"

@drinkingpony Good to know, I shall attempt this!

@drinkingpony I just recall it as a more or less bright spot between the troubles of 95, 98, and everything past 7. It just worked for me, in a way the OS hasn't since. Well, XP didn't completely suck. But I liked 2000 better. Wonder how Free DOS is holding....

@drinkingpony I just heard it referred to as a fat hernia or an inguinal hernia I think
-
@drinkingpony Uh, maybe? Windows 2000?
-
@drinkingpony You have been on Windows for either 7 editions too many, or 1,990 too few.
-
@drinkingpony nah this is a fat hernia apparently, which i guess just sorta sits in the way of my intestines which can block me up every now and then. i had a lot of pain relief in hospital (not enough morphine though :() but it's not really painful now, just kinda sore and a lot of rumbly noises

@drinkingpony Hey, if I can fleece a mook for a commemorative "Smash Capitalism" sledgehammer for only $8.99/lb, I'm gonna.

@drinkingpony Try to program with that amount of sleep.

@drinkingpony Honestly all they can achieve with this is getting nazis to be seen positively in the long run. Think jews for example, they were universally disliked up until wwii, the nazis screwed up so badly with it than they became a group you can't criticize in most of the western world.
More so since what they call "nazis" have nothing to do with what an actual nazi is. Trump is a good example, he might have not delivered on most of the stuff he promised, but anyone else would be laureate after as US president being one of three main actors in the end of the korean war and restart of diplomatic relationships between the DPRK and the USA. Give it a few decades, and once the groups that screech about Trump cease to exist, he'll be seen in an overwhelmingly positive way in historical retrospectives. If these idiots conflate the words "nazi" and "trump", the logical conclussion is that he's a nazi, and therefore nazis are a boogeyman, okish people that are hated by fanatical groups. -
@drinkingpony Gossip generally sucks.
