LOLz in my own experimental color space sparsity algorithm…

Context unclear, but if food is a theory, then life is a theory…

tilts tin foil hat to the left…

Works now 👍

Sandy!

This is actually the happiest post I’ve seen all day 👍

Bleh, whether the trip is a success or not, do they at least have two functioning toilets?

That ancient USB to PATA adapter I had, before it got stolen anyways, was actually a repurposed adapter for an external USB 4X CD burner, so it kinda makes sense that it would never support any drives over 128GB (120GB in practice), as it was never actually meant to be used on hard drives in the first place. But for 120GB and less, it worked just fine.

It sucked for me though, as I had and still have a 1.8" 160GB hard drive from an OG iPod 1 and all the other relevant adapters to connect it to 2.5" PATA. Also sadly, my old Dell B130 apparently also has the 120/128GB firmware limit, so I can’t even use it natively, I had sooo wanted to upgrade that thing from 80GB to 160GB…

🤷

Sadly I’ve never seen a PATA to SATA adapter that supports SMART stats either. I spent quite a while late last year on eBay looking for a direct USB to PATA only adapter on eBay, with no luck though, all I keep finding are those combo adapters ☹️

The last ancient USB to PATA only adapter I once had did actually support SMART stats, but apparently the adapter’s firmware didn’t support drives over 128GB ☹️

Sigh, maybe I’ll stumble into something someday at a thrift store or something 🤷

I don’t know about TRIM compatibility specifically, but I must suggest you don’t get one of those combo SATA/PATA adapters. Although I don’t know about TRIM compatibility, I do know for a fact that those combo adapters do not support SMART stats for mechanical hard drives. So I assume combo adapters won’t support TRIM either.

This…

This looks like right around the corner where I grew up. Random humans are rare, usually you see wild deer, but then again, aren’t you a random human taking the photo?

Bar charts? Oof, I write my own visualizers in 5 dimensional space, X, Y, R, G, B, all in a 3D rotary view. I guess the rotary view even gives an extra dimension, Theta I guess. And yes, that RGB factor is totally relevant to my studies…

On the first frame, ‘The purpose of life is to reproduce’…

Shouldn’t that frame be an X-Ray of testicles, not the brain?

I think our human form is just guided by sperm and eggs, and we walking humans are the mobile creatures to carry them around…

TL;DR - M$ Excel copied the bug from Lotus 123 for backwards fucked up compatibility.

Saved you the read, you’re welcome.

If I could send Sandy an apple, I would.

Thank you for understanding.

This is sadly for real.

We had a ~40 acre horse ranch at the time, I was only 7 years old…

Parents arrange a party under a tarp and a few pine trees with many of their friends.

I’m only 7 at the time, parents waking me up in the rain, basically saying get out of the rain…

Later that evening, I learned we lost Sissy…

You caught an opportunity that I missed.

Sissy got struck by lightning…

Sissy was bigger than Sandy, but that’s how I learned to ride a horse, completely bareback.

My parents aren’t normal, maybe they shouldn’t have sent me out riding Sissy at age 7 with no gear, but I learned to ride a horse bareback before I learned to ride a bicycle…

Yay Sandy, the Fediverse Horse!

All jokes aside, have you or anyone else ever been able to ride her bareback, like no gear at all?

Our late Sissy did, and she was awesome at that, very gentle.

So, by these sort of meme definitions, basically 90% of memes are diarrhea, sitting on the Drake meme, the Geordi LaForge meme, a Spongebob meme, the 5 year old girl standing in front of the burning house with the sinister look meme…

Fuck, by these strict standards on what a meme is supposed to be, well I guess basically all memes must be garbage to you folks. You must be really fun at parties…

Sad you can’t even get 3 seconds of a sad chuckle and just move on…

Practically all background meme images are some random garbage, well before the AI slop era. Meme images were generated by human slop Photoshop before AI was the big thing, so what really matters?

Not the background image, but the words posted on top of the image. And the words on OP’s meme are just as valid, even if you posted the same words on a Spongebob Squarepants meme image.

Practically every meme is based on a silly image from wherever. It’s the words that really count.
