AP Psychology effectively banned in Florida because of gender, sexuality chapter (www.usatoday.com)

Florida superintendents have been advised by the state’s education agency to nix their Advanced Placement Psychology classes unless they exclude any topics related to gender or sexuality, according to a press release from The College Board....

billwashere,

Oh FFS, I wish this stupid fuck would just go away and leave education to I don’t know, less stupid people.

billwashere,

Lost assumes they want to go in the right direction. I’m not sure the current leadership qualifies.

billwashere,

As an American I feel that a majority of Americans loathe him. The issue lies in not all those people vote.

What scares me is that any Americans vote for him. How can you be so blinded and not see what a lying, cheating grifter that he is. The man is not intelligent, doesn’t read, is petty to a fault, vindictive, spiteful, narcissistic, nepotistic and just generally not a good person. Why would you choose that for a leader? It’s because you share those traits. That’s what scares me.

billwashere,

Well the fact someone in Wyoming voting is worth 3.5 times someone voting in California is a huge problem I agree.

billwashere,

How can something that is not really sentient have something like racial bias that requires sentience. It is merely parroting the racial bias used to train it in the first place. Headlines like this annoy me.

If you don’t like the outcomes maybe they should have used better data. Reminds me of the very old computer science notion of GIGO: garbage in garbage out.

billwashere,

I wonder sometimes if he is actually stupid and actually believes some of this stuff or if he just says outrageous shit to get people to listen to his show.

So he’s either a fucking moron or a fucking troll, neither of which I’d wanna listen to.

billwashere,

I truckload of heroin is not worth the death penalty.

billwashere,

I wasn’t mad and especially not mad at you. If I was mad at anything it was at Singapore for killing a person over possession of ANYTHING. So no worries. 😀

I know you were making the distinction between the pure drug and cut street drug which can be quite different.

billwashere,

Companies this large never get their appropriate comeuppance since we’re essentially a corporatocracy.

How screwed am I? (i.imgur.com)

First keyboard build; everything was going reasonably fine until I had assembled the whole thing and noticed the backspace key was not sitting right. See picture for culprit. (Not pictured: the idiot who didn’t set the stabilizer correctly) Can I reseat the stabilizer without (further) tearing this thing down to the studs?...

billwashere,

Sometimes I forget just how petty and broken some people are.

billwashere,

… easily preventable diseases … and heat stroke.

billwashere,

Why leave when they can just wait him out? But I’d bet the mouse pays way more attention to politics in the future and tries to make sure chucklefucks like Rhonda Sand Tits don’t get elected in the future.

billwashere,

You think Pure is expensive? I’d bet Vast gives them a run for their money… um… pardon the pun?

billwashere,
  • density upcharge. I’d bet it’ll be closer to 8500-9000 USD. Probably closer to 9k.
billwashere,

Well being that my surgery cost 10 times this, 10k is a bargain.

billwashere,

Well it’s not “bad practice” per se but it ultimately depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what the underlying architecture is capable of supporting.

Not docker specific but we run enterprise level applications with VMWare esxi hosts accessing vm’s over an iSCSI network share and plan on trying this using NFS datastores over 100gbe with SCM and E1.L SSDs. So this should work fine but this is super fast super expensive hardware and is a lot different from homelab type architecture. Now I have done similar things at home with two esxi hosts using a Drobo for NFS datastores so I could vmotion. Was it super high performance? No. Did it work? Yes.

For a small container based environment I’d probably keep all the containers and storage for the containers local, probably on a fast SSD or NVME drive. Those are usually small. But any large media I’d NFS mount and keep that on the NAS. You can get 1TB NVME drive and pcie adapter for less than $100 on Amazon that would be way fast enough for anything in a home lab.

My 2¢… 😀

Biden’s Tar Heel target for 2024: Turn N.C. blue (www.politico.com)

Biden lost the Tar Heel state to Donald Trump by just 1.4 percentage points in 2020, and a Democrat at the top of the ticket hasn’t managed to turn North Carolina blue since Barack Obama did in 2008. Now Biden’s team sees opportunity in 2024 amid a fresh abortion ban, a contentious, expensive gubernatorial race and steady...

billwashere,

As a person who has lived in NC for 40+ years this is completely true. I just bought a house maybe 30 min from where I used to live and it seems like I’m in a completely different state. The former was jokingly called a concentrated area of relocated yankees (Cary) so lots of liberals and mid to upper class folks, lots of diversity. Where I moved to is lots of farms, white people, Jesus billboards, and Let’s Go Brandon yard signs.

Not sure I’d agree about the solidly blue part though. In the races that gerrymandering doesn’t affect the state went for Trump both times but voted for a Democratic governor. Seems awfully purple.

billwashere,

I wish it were more solidly blue. I’ve lived mostly closer to large urban areas (Raleigh) so I’m basically in the same boat as you.
