Alligator. Venison. Duck. Butterfish. Trout. Mussels.

Except that one is automatically versioned and would have saved you this pain, and the other relies on you actively remembering to reflexively commit, and then do extra work to clean up your history before sharing, and once you push, it’s harder to change history and make a clean version to share.

These days, there’s little excuse to not use COW with automated snapshots in addition to your normal, manual, VCS activities.

Become homeless, I suppose.

Can’t get into my bank? Work won’t let me in because they don’t recognize me? Nobody’s going to hire me without ID or a background check. So I guess I’m a bum now.

Folks here hoping to reclaim their identity: how, exactly? No birth certificate, no drivers license, no passport… how, exactly, are you going to prove you’re you?

I had a roommate who had a python of some sort. It was 6’ long-ish.

I wouldn’t say it was affectionate, but it was fine with being handled. It’d just get comfortable, hang out, and watch whatever was going on. Sometimes it might slither around, but it always seemed to me it was just finding a place to get comfortable. It seemed to spend most of its time sleeping. It didn’t seem to care who it was hanging out with; I never saw it demonstrate a preference between people, even its owner.

It was a really easy pet to keep, all things considered. The worst thing about it was feeding it. It refused to eat dead things, so my friend had to go get live mice from the pet store, put the snake and the mouse in the bath tub, and then leave them alone for an hour or so. It was such a fussy eater - sometimes, it just wouldn’t, so we’d sometimes also have a pet mouse for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t interested in watching it kill the mouse, but my friend said it just wouldn’t eat if anyone was in the room watching it. Thankfully, it only needed to eat once every few weeks.

Honestly, I never saw the attraction. It didn’t do much, you couldn’t do much with it, it didn’t seem to seek out contact with people, didn’t seem to care one way or the other about being pet. I think it mostly liked being held because it like the warmth - but it’d be just as happy on its rock under the heat lamp.

Oh, shedding was cool. Once. After the first time you watch it, it’s kind of like watching paint dry.

But, some people really like snakes, and that’s cool.

You misspelled “sketchy.”

That’s haunting.

I just created another account on piefed, because someone said it had repost deduplication. I still browse using both, but the other shows up a newb.

I’ll bite.

Rather than go and look it up, which would ironically probably be less effort than asking this question: what’s Beksińskian art?

Not so dumb for a bunch of us using VPNs with exit nodes in other time zones.

If it doesn’t work, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

Doveryay, no proveryay

I’ll be back.

You must bring us… a shrubbery!

I don’t recall which one anymore, but there are web sites that take text you type and convert it to Unicode code points in different styles. DDG for “Unicode text converter” or something like that.

What if I never access Facebook, and have ever had a Facebook account?

Lemmy does. I don’t, but Lemmy will shank you in a dark alley for drug money, like an American Badger.

Most heads of state of western democracies do not have the authority to enact such measures, much less in so short a deadline. And their political opponents will simply drag their feet on any approval process and let you eliminate a rival. Most of the billionaires live in countries without a dictator (quite yet, anyway) who could comply, even if they wanted to.

You’re most likely right. No checking account at any bank has an interest rate that’s going to pay enough interest in 2 days to make such a scheme worthwhile, even if the sums were an order of magnitude greater than the numbers GP quotes. Especially with a $6 check processing fee, which is itself a scam.

It can’t have been for the interest.

Esperanto is going to be in the lower left somewhere.

The issue with the graph isn’t the contents, it’s the axes. What’s “objectively easy” for Europeans is not necessarily objectively easy for Asians.

He could certainly degrowth the planet. But, than, we’re well on the way to doing that ourselves.
