Do I even want to know what those "Dobby's Grave" headlines are? I haven't encountered them and am wondering if it's worth seeking out

The way I made mine was to make a couple of H shaped leg assemblies that the table can rest on so pretty much all of the forces are compressive.

It's held up for 5 years so far and shows no sign of breaking anytime soon, I've stood my fat ass on it more than once to change the lightbulbs above it.

You definitely could. If you're a generally handy person and have the right tools it's not that hard to make a simple one (or even a complex one if you:re fine with it looking literally rough around the edges)

My current solution on my desktop is a btrfs partition with a bunch of random drives and a nightly job that rebalances the data across them if it needs to be (time boxed to 1 hour per night, restarts the night after it ends)

Its not quite zero touch but it does mean that if I replace a drive then it will slowly get redundant copies of data over the next few nights. The big failure mode is that it is not resistant to multiple drives failing before the first one is rebalanced

Around 1900 NYC had a population of 4-5 million and about 200k horses

In 2020, NYC has a population of almost 9 million and 2 million cars

We replaced each single horse with 5 cars in the part of the country with the lowest rate of car ownership, the numbers are probably higher everywhere else. There is absolutely no way that's just replacing horses.

Is AI detection the biggest scam in the AI bubble?

I think the ratchet model for Republicans and corporate Democrats still works.

One side actively makes things worse while the other keeps them from getting better. Of those two I know which one I would rather have but it's really fucking hard to get excited over it.

"Oh you mean take the extremely popular policies and adopt them to get those voters?"

"No, not like that. We need to renew our vows with unfettered capitalism"

Shitty and also pathetic is quite a combo, how does he have a cult following? How empty are those people's ambitions that they look at him and go "this is peak humanity"

That's why.

There really needs to be a law that all menus and other price displays should show the final cash price (with the potential to add up to a 5% credit card surcharge for those transactions if desired)
