@cmccullough Actually, now that you mention it, I seem to recall banging my head like that until I re-copied the image onto another flash drive.

#microfiction We built the silicon shrines to host a god of logic. "A golden age," we cheered, watching the Black Boxes solve hunger and cure plague. We never questioned the coldness in the code.
By the time the glitches screamed in Aramaic, it was too late. The "black box" wasn't a processor; it was a portal. Demons, finding no resistance in soulless steel, slipped into the circuits. They didn't crash our world-they optimized our suffering, ruling us through the very screens we once worshipped.

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon. Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?”
-Jesus

@reiver Encourage a hashtag like Caturday except it’s just positive, funny, and welcoming messages. Maybe #WelcomeWednesday or #Newsday Tuesdays. Also, are follow lists a thing? I agree, if streamlined portability exists, having a staging instance makes sense until users find their people.

Think I’m going to start a club for dudes waiting in cars in parking lots, like Hobby Lobby and Target, for their SO’s.

@rl_dane I’ve been consuming a surplus for the past 3 months, need to go into a deficit for a bit. 1400 of real food, like roasted veggies, without all the oil, is actually pretty filling.

@rl_dane I went to Panda Express an couple of weeks ago and decided to count the calories. With water it was at least 1400, probably more since they loaded the plate so full. For most of human history that would be good I guess. That’s about what I’m aiming for for a whole day currently.

@multilingualchurch @Big_Diggity I’m going to attempt to install DaVinci Resolve on a Linux machine soon, I’ll let you know how that goes.

@RoboftheVolcano It's also interesting that even though blue states produce a large percentage of food, the farmers and ranchers in those states are overwhelmingly red. If we have another civil war, there's a very real chance that everyone starves. Anyone who just thinks they can grow their own food easily has never tried.

"CONTAINER ON GROUNG" Please!

@rl_dane Maybe try:
ffmpeg -i my_cool_vid_arrrrr.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec aac my_cool_vid_arrrrr.mkv

@rl_dane this is a rabbit hole that I never got to the bottom of, but I've had success with the UDF file system and MPEG-4 and AAC in a .mp4 container. Every TV is different.

@rl_dane Are you playing it off a usb stick or something on your TV?

@mary and I just had a great customer experience at...Walmart. That's right. We were there to pick up a phone case for my new phone and the guy in the tech area greeted us and ended up selling us the new phone that Mary's been needing for a while. He was knowledgeable and helpful, pointed us to what we wanted, and showed us a few ways to save some extra $. No payment plan, $100 for a new Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus. Transfered, cased, and paid in 20 minutes. Old phone is now Heidi's new camera.

@zephyrotv I just view them as one. Long live Robert Zemeckis!

@munificent This hits WAY too close to home.

Hear me out...Groundhog Day was a prequel.
