Fascinating! I looked up that 1799 report - here’s the link for anyone else interested.

No.

I’ve still got a backup copy of The Internet from back in the day when you could install The Internet on your computer using a cd which arrived in the post. I also have a backup pile of optical drives so if necessary I can burn you a copy of The Internet and post it to you? Though I haven’t got a copy of the postal service.

I almost could agree in principle that’s how it might work, but as a person living in a monarchy (UK), they literally just protect their own and the establishment, every time. The status quo isn’t apolitical but deeply conservative.

Account age 19 hours and already behaving like an ass. Congratulations and welcome to Lemmy, a place with actual communities where you can expect to be blocked if you carry on like that. Please learn to treat people better!

Abolish all monarchies!

I use my old pc server as a 50w continuous heater in my lab-shed which is a small stone outbuilding. Keeps it dry in there!

His brain is the best, like nobody ever saw before. It got the highest score ever on every cognitive test.

Your brain is a fat slob, really the worst brain. All your thoughts are completely fake, put there by the Biden administration. Nobody even cares what you think, you should get your brain revoked.

Fuck that! We should be aiming for 21-28 hours being the normal length of the employed week for everyone everywhere, and it not being necessary to work any more than that unless you want to for yourself. We can’t accelerate forever, we need to do less work hours and have good quality of life, otherwise what’s even the point of technology?

It is! They’re trying to “compile” insulin on the smaller scale. Not home labs but local production. They haven’t managed it yet but I believe they will eventually.

Win2k Pro was the last version of Windows that was actually any good!

Please support the Open Insulin Foundation who are creating an open source model for insulin production! Such an important project!

Biiiig dollar!

Oh I know, just having fun with the optical illusion. :-)

Directly wired to mains electricity? Spicy!

If you don’t mind me asking, are you AuDHD? 🖐️ Or is this an ADHD kinda thing too? 😅

I instigated a transatlantic Cockney rhyming slang version. In Cockney the rhyme is usually the word that’s missing, so you just have to know what it means.

For example:

• “Apples” -> apples and pears = stairs
• “Sky” -> sky rocket = pocket
• “North” -> north and south = mouth

Resulting in:

• USA: “Taking a dump”
• Dump -> Donald Trump (rhyme)
• Britain: “Going for a shit”
• Our family: “Going for a Donald”

I’m also writing this while going for a Donald.

British person here. In Britain a trump is an extremely smelly fart:

“Pfwoaaah that reeks! Who fackin trumped in ere?”

Ha you beat me to it!

Plot twist: Turmp announces $40bn Russia bailout. 😬
