So, reading the short article, only one infected monkey escaped, per the sheriff’s office. Then the University they are from clarified that their infected monkeys are not contagious, and there were no infected monkeys on that truck.

The monkeys are for primate virology research.

Nice reminder of just how hard spun headlines are.

Welcome to the new global military industrial complex, where Palantir masturbates using international militaries pitched against each other.

Or did someone do this and just not share it with the internet in a way that it could ever be found?

I swear the most frustrating problems I deal with at work are ones where I know someone else has dealt with this shit before, but there’s just no information out there.

I try to do my part through some other usernames, but it can also be tough to not get too specific with things and out yourself. Also, right now most of my issues are time limited, relating to Exchange Server 2019 losing support on the 14th. So by the time it’ll be safe for me to talk about how I solved certain issues, it’ll be too late to help people unless they are disasterously out of date.

I used to play runescape with a neighbor from elementary school up through middle school. We even gifted each other membership a few times for birthdays.

Lost touch with him in high school, except for one time he showed off that he was up pretty high on the leaderboards and doing competitive shit.

Ran into him this weekend, it’s been like 20 years. Both had our kids out at a park. Caught up.on a bunch of stuff, but my dumb ass forgot to ask him if he still played, and what he though of the upcoming sailing skill release in Old School Runescape.

And? It’s not halloween yet, and even so, we still have a month before Thanksgiving.

But I guess just fuck the people too busy to decorate for Halloween at the start of September.

Hey, everyone knows you need to wait for the answer to open the door.

How are you doing?

You know, same piss, different pants.

I’m glad you like your city, but I’ll be over here, not living somewhere I need a dedicated two person system to avoid walking through human feces.

It’s kind of amazing just how much that simply isn’t a problem in so very much of the world, and how adaptable people are to bad situations.

As someone who works as a sysadmin/systems engineer in a Windows environment, I find your analogy is a bit extreme. Not denying the issue, it’s a constant frustration and problem. It’s just that I find you can get a lot farther than most people think.

So less “hood’s welded shut” and more “Why the fuck are the headlights a single unit? I just need to fix the high beams! Why is the transmission welded shut? Who in the fuck wired the radio and power steering together? And why in the hell is none of this documented anywhere?” Maybe that’s worse, tbh. You can get very deep, but most of it is horrors.

Edit: You didn’t answer my question. You brought up what’s already been established.

Skull tattoo. I’m sorry, most Americans are not so familiar with Nazi symbols to identify that specific skull design as Nazi. Swastika, SS, Iron Cross, sure. A skull and crossbones? Wouldn’t clock it. I thought it was a generic “bad guy” symbol in the comedy sketch you have a screenshot from. And he’s had it covered up.

If he knew, why would he allow someone to take a picture of it?

So… your second point is just that you don’t agree with America’s involvement with those wars at all. Which is less to do with this guy than with America’s choices of war. Valid, I agree, but not a signpost that he’s a Nazi. Unless all Americans involved in those were secretly Nazis.

Look. I don’t think anyone’s calling him trustworthy or a good person, but this insistence that he must be a Nazi due to a tattoo that he’s gotten covered up, when he’s been so open about all of it is silly.

He didn’t try to get the photo taken down. He didn’t deny it. He didn’t get belligerant and say he wasn’t going to cover it up just to keep people mad. He’s not pretending he didn’t have it.

I’m keeping him on my radar, but when US politics is filled with so damn many overt and explicit racists and Nazis that are so damn comfortable being mask off, I’m not ready to stomp down on this guy yet.

A soldier, trained for warfare, and enjoying it is quite disturbing for people who never encounter it. I’m disturbed by it. That said, I’m not seeing anything about enjoying bloodshed there. He says he likes small wars because he feels there’s less inhumane brutality.

Is your problem that a soldier enjoys what they do? That makes them a Nazi?

I feel like your comment about killing civilians in the global south is making a big assumption that isn’t even really hinted at. In fact the opposite, as he talks about working with the local community.

Isn’t the pebble watch getting a re-release? Might be neat to tinker with. There’s also a conversion kit thing for one of the classic digital casio watches. Both are tinkering friendly and open source.

Yeah, this Saudi deal was not a smart move to do when they finally have a competitor (inzoi) after decades of being the only game in town, so to speak.

Admins will still have ways to remove illegal content, right? I checked the pull request but it’s a little light on details for someone not involved with the inner workings.

Lol, exactly.

And for a completely unasked for ramble: Someone better call the cops because my wife is over a decade older than me. Causes some minor mess here and there in the relationship, but nothing major. Almost every relationship worth having will have some mess now and then.

Dead or Alive is the name of a videogame series, not talking about his status.

There’s also someone, or some people, clearly practicing their creative writing or something. Usually they make an account, post something weird to asklemmy or a similar community, and then delete it within 4 hours or so.

Usually it’s a “stupid” or obvious question, with some vaguely contreversial twist. Like “My boyfriend has problems with how many guys I’ve fucked… but I also used to be a sex worker”. Stuff that’s within the realm of possible, but not particularly common, or where you’d expect the asker to already be aware of the answer/reason.

They get a few hours of engagement, most of the time don’t engage in the comments, then delete the whole thing.

Regarding your edit, you can’t do both. None of the lemmy UIs or apps make it clear, but it’s URL or image, image takes priority, and then you can put whetever you want in the body text of the post.

No clue why it’s not been made clear in any of the web uis or apps. I spend too much time here and see it multiple times a day.

This is a common mistake that and it’s dumb that none of the UIs (or apparently any of the apps) make clear, but a post can only have an image or a link as its main thing and image takes priority, losing the link. They’re mutually exclusive.

You can do whatever you want in the body text, having multiple images and links etc, but only one or the other for the “main post item”.

OP needs to just put the link in the body text.

That you’re mentally unwell.

Also lol, you aren’t anywhere near interesting enough for devotion. Pretty damn common grade online crazy. That was my first comment in this thread and this will be my last.

Also blocking you. 1000% because I’m a coward who can’t handle the truth. Enjoy your pigeon chess trophy.
