Whelp…boo-urns. :(

OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?

40 years old. Haven’t been satisfied with a phone-slam since before my first cordless phone in 2001.

Cena’s infamous for being (comparably) quite loud in the ring when calling things. Always manages to get picked up by the mic’s.

Asked and answered but to chime in also: Boxing is not fixed (outside of incidents involving crooked people of course).

Pro Wrestling is choreographed performances. The results of matches are predetermined by the booker. The wrestlers come together before hand, decide between them some ‘spots’ they wanna do during the match but otherwise go out there and ‘call a match’ live (giving each other verbal cues to do certain things/do certain things to them which the audience doesn’t/can’t hear [hopefully, looking at you Cena lol]).

The moves are done in specific ways to minimize actual damage, and wrestlers are trained to land, and take moves in specific ways to minimize actual damage.

A good source is the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy out in Cali. They have a playlist on their YouTube channel showing the basics of almost any wrestling move you’d wanna know and learn. Watch some of em and you can see the tricks.

Or the 3 or 4 times New Jack tried to straight up kill someone during a match.

I.E. A Tuesday.

Honestly the only thing HP has ever made that I haven’t been horribly, horribly disappointed with is their monitors. Just through circumstance of ‘whatever-the-fuck-was-cheapest-but-not-total-ass-when-I-went-to-buy-them’ I’ve ended up with 4 different HP monitors over the years, including a 20ish year old 4:3 one which still goes strong to this day.

Every other product was pure unadulterated ass.

When the Redditpocalypse started and we all came this way, someone made a post about this very thing. I still stand by my statement that day (which I paraphrase):

I don’t care about emoji’s enough to whine until it’s excessive. Reddit’s insistence that one “😀” is the end of the world was pants-on-head-stupid. Use emoji’s all you fuckin’ want, but if you start putting 3+ in 1 comment I’m going to prep a straight jacket for the person.

Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020’s equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.

That is neat as shit and I really regret getting rid of my huge ass collection of VHS tapes a dec…wait as I type this I remember I got a huge rubbermaid tote with the original Star Trek TOS VHS run they released back in the 90’s sitting in storage somewhere…

…fuck I’m gonna buy a 3D printer now…

Some updates were pushed out in the last 48h or so which should alleviate that problem a good bit.

I mean we do try ;)

Mostly posters and flags in the geeky/gamer/nerd vein, which are taken down and rotated with others every couple years for shits n grins.

Shit like that is when I start keeping notice of good places around the work place to start fucking fires.*

*(The above comment is not advocating for arson or any other related crimes. It is however advocating for keeping a keen eye out in your work place surroundings, which is sound advice for all.)

Baths? Zero. Can’t remember the last year I laid in a tub. Not even sure the last decade.

How often do to clean my body? Daily, via a shower. If it’s a day off I might skip a day.

Agreed. Just gotta give the place love. Pick something you care about and just talk about it.

e.g. I’m a pro wrestling guy. When the Redditpocalypse happened, a handful of the /r/SQ people came over here to kbin and made a community and just kinda…died after a week or three from lack of use cause everyone stuck with Reddit or went to the Discord.

Right now /m/SquaredCircle is the largest and most active wrestling community on lemmy/kbin (at least that I can see when searching), mostly cause A) my ass for the last few months has been posting 99% of the news and occasional highlights, and B) 1 of the new mods has been posting all the discussion threads and kicking up engagement where he can.

We building this shit up.

In the last week, seemingly every 11 seconds lol

Being a pirate is alright with me!

Naw, I was too. Haven’t been for a year or two, but I’ve only ever subscribed to them for the shipping. Barely used their streaming when I did cause, also, yarr 🏴‍☠️
