Donald Trump’s former White House aide is under fire after a video showed him claiming to distribute fake money to homeless people so that they will be arrested when they spend it....
Before the police were called, Martin and his co-workers made two trips to the SUV that Floyd was sitting in outside Cup Foods, trying to get him to come back to the store, Martin said. He recalled telling Floyd and his friends that the bill Floyd had just used was fake, and that his boss wanted to talk to him.
All I’m saying is, the consequences aren’t as simple as “some homeless lowlife goes to jail lol” like the guy in the article seems to feel in his heart. Sometimes a counterfeit bill results in a 9- minute long public execution followed months of societal pain.
ETA: Johnny McEntee! That’s the asshole’s name. Johnny McEntee is the asshole that is trying to get homeless people into situations involving police over counterfeit money. Police that sometimes decide murder is a best path to justice for poor people with counterfeit money legal issus. Fuck that guy.

After seeing someone else posting their struggles with getting Docker running on their system, I thought I might share my process for setting up new Docker nodes. I don’t make any representations about my way being the right way, or the best way, but this way has been working for me. I have been playing around with a swarm,...
Maybe, I’m a bajillion years old and have a knack for choosing poorly, but it’s in the documentation still and works really well on Debian boxes for homelab services so I’ve been having fun with it. It also brought me into the world of Proxmox and LXC containers as the very next step on my learning journey. So, it can’t be all bad, right? :)
Regardless, setting up a single Docker node is the same as setting up a cluster in terms if the initial steps, you just leave out the swarmy bits.
I see what you mean, thank you for sharing, I could make this a bash script and that is one of the changes I’d want to make to make it more user friendly for sure. For now it was mostly notes I made and felt like sharing in case it was helpful, but cleaning it up with file edits and even a menu to drop in the compose files and a screen for optional external storage integration would be a good idea
I too remember it through the nostalgic lense of Pizza-Hut-cup-tinted glasses. And with the Book-It program, there was even more reason to keep asking my parents to take a trip there!

I was just gifted a dictionary of etymology. The Barnhart one. I might be leading you down a dark path here, but you may want to consider adding it to your word-lookup routine if you’re having fun with what you’re doing already.
Hang on, the features are not necessarily locked behind the paywall, I don’t think you gave this a fair look at all, and I’m encouraging to give it a second pass before you write it off entirely. I’ll admit the screenshots I found were behind the paywall but I am presenting them here under fair use which should be entirely fine because it’s only a very small sample of some content and it serves as a powerful visual aid, and that’s really all my post was supposed to be - a cool graphic that tells a story all by itself.
I started there myself to learn about the Chavin civilization and what they were doing at around that time. And when I was done reading, I noticed in the top right corner I could zoom out from Peru and look at all of the Americas. And further, I could zoom out to look at the world. That’s still all on 200ad, and it’s still all gratis. But wait, go back to the Peru page you started on and now click the arrow to go back in time a few times and check out the green area that the early people were inhabiting as it shrinks. Still free. And still, you can zoom out from Peru and look at the continental or global views, and move around to different parts of the world.
Go to their Atlas page. Literally the entire left side of that page is free content.
I have no idea what drove me to make this and I am so very sorry for everyone with functioning eyes that stumbles upon this post. All the mug shots, looped forever, to fuel your nightmares!
A fascinating analysis of the themes and motifs common to the mythologies and oral traditions of a variety of ancient cultures. Campbell delves into mythology in search of some perennial or fundamental truth.
Holy smokes, thanks for sharing this book, it’s next on my list to grab for a read. Recently, I’ve been really interested in following the development of culture, civilization, mythology, and religion, and this book seems to really drill down into some of those nearly-universal themes (at least, if the blurbs I’m reading are accurate) like the Hero’s Journey and the cycle of world/universe creation and destruction. I just wanted to chime in, late as it may be after you made the initial post, and say thank you for sharing
