And I was making a joke about the D&D spider goddess.

But the word is "loath," which has an accepted alternate spelling of "loth". "Lolth" is the Dungeons and Dragons spider goddess, commonly worshiped by Drow.

What? This is system programming, not web development.

I thought for sure this was gonna be “Everywhere at the End of Time”.

If you’re not familiar, it’s a 6 hour audio piece that simulates the descent into dementia ending in the complete loss of oneself and eventually death.

Knowing what it is going in, it’s terrifying to listen to.

The whole thing is on YouTube, posted by the creator without ads, but I’m too lazy to go find it and don’t want the piped link bot to kill me in my sleep.

It's a point raised in the movie. There were no people in the buildings because the bombings were done at night and the only people that would be in the buildings were a part of the group and knew to be out of them.

$325?!

Fucking what? For that you could get 10G fiber, but WWHHYYY?

I have a literal server rack in my laundry room running proxmox hypervisor and multiple self-hosted services, and even at that I only have 1G service and feel like I’m getting anally raped paying $110/mo for that.

On of the fusion reactor designs works this way. Sorta.

The reactor creates a magnetic field, then fusion happens, creating a magnetic (or electric… iono. Not a nuclear engineer) field flux in the same coils that created the initial field. Fusion stops, then the flux is ‘harvested’ somehow to generate electricity directly. Then the field is primed again, and fusion happens again. It’s pulsed and happens 60-100 times a second.

I think the company working on this is called Helion.

Yes. You are correct and I am a dumbass.

In ~Babylon~ Alexandria, docking ships were required to surrender any and all written materials to the library. There, scribes would make a copy of everything that was submitted.

The originals of the documents were stored in the library and the copies were given back to the ships.

First instance of intellectual property piracy?

Ah, yeah, you mean the puddle in the gas station bathroom that I never seem to notice until I have a mysterious wet spot on my pants and have to walk around with what’s probably somebody else’s slowly-drying body fluids on my leg?

Excuse me while I burn those pants and bathe in bleach.

You can hang them on the in-wall type too. Just wet a small spot on the tp (don’t use toilet water, ya gross), and stick the wet spot to the wall. It’ll adhere and drape the tp over the sensor.
