Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

I found this on skeptics stack exchange. Supposedly, it’s a hoax/urban legend that goes back way before the internet. (The entire stack exchange page on this topic is fun to read, btw)

The quote originally came from Prof. George T.W. Patrick of University of Iowa, who translated an ancient stone tablet into modern English and published in “Popular Science Monthly”, May 1913. The full text of the original can be found online at archive.org: https://archive.org/details/popularsciencemo82newy, page 493.

One writer found this same quote in a slightly earlier source dating to 1908.

Yet another writer noted that there was no Chaldea but …

… there was a stele of a King Naram-Sin of Akkad which has been exhibited in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum since 1892. The inscription on this stele is fragmentary and has nothing to do with degeneration.

No one will dig up our Lemmy posts in 1000s of years. :(

Don’t even get me started on finding decent copper.

You sure made no bones about your opinion there.

I used to, once… Ah well, back to the pit of despair, see ya!

THIS IS THE WAY… ?

oops

I guess they’re good for a core workout?

Totally agree. Have been there and done that quite a few times too.

And if you can’t find an answer for a mint problem on a mint forum you might find an answer on an Ubuntu forum. In other words, add Linux mint to your search first and if that fails try Ubuntu instead. At least that has worked well for me over the last decade plus.

3 month milestone: baby is so over it

As a parent with a kid who didn’t sleep well I knew what you meant lol

New data point in 3…2…

Big W for DeLonghi there for sure. New respect unlocked :) it looks like it is well designed and laid out too.

Way to go!! I didn’t realize these were so fixable but not surprising. My old Gaggia was easy to find parts for and easy to work on.

And lead exposure.

Very cool. Easily my favorite use for 3d printing.

Related, I think there are several sets of files for various RC cars I have run across. Would be kind of fun to download a whole (RC) car :)

Don’t you see? Falling into depression and learned helplessness is doing something.
