And one of those meals cost just a nickel. In those days, nickels had pictures of bumble bees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter!", you'd say.
I have a PC running OpenMediaVault (NAS) with about 8 terabytes of movies and TV shows, and a separate PC running Jellyfin and Plex accessing the video files through a samba share.
I'm sure r/selfhosted would give me all sorts of shit for not running those services in VMs on a single machine. Maybe when I can find a more powerful computer to do that on...
Steven Ogg is sick of GTA and hates Trevor fans.
We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!
I'm old enough to remember when quiche was considered "unmanly". Like it's literally eggs and sometimes breakfast meat in a pie crust lmao.
Yeah, the "soy" thing originally came about from a misguided belief that soy has a high amount of estrogen, and that eating too much of it can feminize men. It's an insult with sexist and transphobic origins.
Co-opting chud insults and turning them back on them is good, but "soy" isn't it.
That's what I was thinking. Could be that or a tray for an internal ATA drive.
[Link to document] (uhhhh maybe I shouldn't link it since it's to the CIA's own website... I can't find an archive link unfortunately)
Summary of the report:
Title: FORCED LABOR CAMPS IN THE USSR. CIA-RDP80T00246A032000400001
A 1957 CIA document titled “Forced Labor Camps in the USSR: Transfer of Prisoners between Camps” reveals the following information about the Soviet Gulag in pages two to six:
Until 1952, the prisoners were given a guaranteed amount food, plus extra food for over-fulfillment of quotas
From 1952 onward, the Gulag system operated upon "economic accountability" such that the more the prisoners worked, the more they were paid.
For over-fulfilling the norms by 105%, one day of sentence was counted as two, thus reducing the time spent in the Gulag by one day.
Furthermore, because of the socialist reconstruction post-war, the Soviet government had more funds and so they increased prisoners' food supplies.
Until 1954, the prisoners worked 10 hours per day, whereas the free workers worked 8 hours per day. From 1954 onward, both prisoners and free workers worked 8 hours per day.
A CIA study of a sample camp showed that 95% of the prisoners were actual criminals.
In 1953, amnesty was given to 70% of the "ordinary criminals" of a sample camp studied by the CIA. Within the next 3 months, most of them were re-arrested for committing new crimes.
These findings didn't agree with the West's "Soviet Union no food" and "Soviet prisons bad" takes of the time.
The CIA did a huge study on the USSR's gulag program in the 1960s and it turned out that inmates in it were actually treated better than those in the US prison system.
The CIA of course suppressed that info from the American public for years because it made the USSR look better than western propagandists wanted it to.
Too much of a coincidence. Wake up sheeple!
