I loved Mariners line about the enterprise crew talking slowly. The difference in speed between the SNW and LD dialogue was something I noticed and this one line made it click for me. Fantastic

Sadly, I'm sure any social platform where one can make their own private community (actually private or perceived to be private) will have more of these than most of us think. Its just that we don't see them.

I'm also not surprised that services like discord is seemingly relaxed at moderating them, as its a problem that is invisible to most users. Moderating is expensive, and unless it hurts public opinion, seemingly its not worth it for them

I know you asked for a gaming chair but I will advise you to reconsider. Most gaming chairs are not really that good and are quite expensive for what you get.

I bought one and it wasn't really all that great and it only lasted a few years before becoming entirely unusable. I paid similar a normal office chair after that and it is infinitely better and has outperformed the gaming chair in all regards. It don't look as slick though

David Zhang on youtube does a lot of reviews of office chairs, maybe this can help out

Feel like this would have made a great theme for Photoshop battles

I hadn't considered that angle as a reason for wanting in on activitypub. That is actually quite devious

Yeah, it really sounds a bit low. I'm not sure what else goes into these containers. I assume there might also be a bunch of portable equipment and cabling that goes into moving the data in and out of the container? Power infrastructure and cooling and what probably takes up quite a bit of space as well.

Reminds me of AWS Snowmobile, which is literally a shipping container filled with harddrives.

This has been a great boon to me. Whenever Apple upgrades Mac OS, I check my regional equivalent to craigslist for cheap music gear that stops working. Has worked twice for me. I got a really nice 24 channel audio interface for 20 bucks.
