It's not that Google's algorithms got bad, but the entire Internet turned to shit and they can't compensate for it.

For anytime not time-sensitive, try adding "before:2023" to your search. I'm being the quality of your results will skyrocket.

"Instead" was meant to be within the previous clause. It was originally a single sentence, but it was way too long so I broke it into two. I can see how it's misleading.

Phrased another way, the claim is that regular porn reduces desire, and its users are happy to be alone.

This is similar to the arguments against "regular" porn - that it reduces the desire to pursue a real-life partner. Instead, allegedly, people are happy to skip that entirely in favor of enjoying porn, alone.

I have no idea what the truth is (probably somewhere in the middle), but they are in direct conflict with each other.

For more information on the subject, Microsoft has been fighting this battle, largely unsuccessfully, for years.

It's also why they had Azure Germany - an instance where they were not actually in control and data could remain sovereign. I believe it's now defunct, or at least restricted.

The version I heard was Recreation rather than Relationships. Find out what they do for fun, whether it's gardening, concerts, or disc golf.

Undercutting your point, that also means that 23% - nearly a quarter - do not offer paid vacation nor holidays to their employees.

Permanent DST was enacted, federally, in December 1973. It was so unpopular that it was repealed less than a year later.

Tomatoes, in any form.

Good news, everyone! I'm a horse's butt.

I watched it long after the fact, so I already knew about the controversy. I knew that it meant his death.

His death was also a great way to end the series, and the story arc they were in.

I even recognize the artistic merit of showing his death from his own POV.

And yet, somehow it all came together in a way that was very unfulfilling. Maybe it's just that it's not the way we've ever seen, but it felt very off.

Again, kid logic. Plus, many young parents don't know (or care) how to properly cook veggies anyway. It's a choice between canned (and usually salted) veggies, or similarly mushy, over-microwaved fresh/frozen veggies with little seasoning or flavor. It's not like the green beans are roasted with olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar.

You're overlooking an important detail - kids love that cheap, shitty food. It was also quick and easy to make, so their tired, overworked parents were easily persuaded to make it.

Naturally there's a line where it becomes too much, but even rich kids love hot dogs and Mac & cheese.

 

I'm looking to upgrade some of my internal systems to 10 gigabit, and seeing some patchy/conflicting/outdated info. Does anyone have any experience with local fiber? This would be entirely isolated to within my LAN, to enable faster access to my fileserver.

Current existing hardware:

  • MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM, featuring 2 SFP+ ports capable of 10GbE
  • File server with a consumer-grade desktop PC motherboard. I have multiple options for this one going forward, but all will have at least 1 open PCIe x4+ slot
  • This file server already has an LSI SAS x8 card connected to an external DAS
  • Additional consumer-grade desktop PC, also featuring an open PCIe x4 slot.
  • Physical access to run a fiber cable through the ceiling/walls

My primary goal is to have these connected as fast as possible to each other, while also allowing access to the rest of the LAN. I'm reluctant to use Cat6a (which is what these are currently using) due to reports of excessive heat and instability from the SFP+ modules.

As such, I'm willing to run some fiber cables. Here is my current plan, mostly sourced from FS:

  • 2x Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S / AOC-STGN-i1S (sourced from eBay)
  • 2x Intel E10GSFPSR Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85 for the NIC side)
  • 2x Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85, for the switch side)
  • 2x 15m (49ft) Fiber Patch Cable, LC UPC to LC UPC, Duplex, 2 Fibers, Multimode (OM4), Riser (OFNR), 2.0mm, Tight-Buffered, Aqua (FS P/N: OM4LCDX)

I know the cards are x8, but it seems that's only needed to max out both ports. I will only be using one port on each card.

Are fiber keystone jacks/couplers (FS P/N: KJ-OM4LCDX) a bad idea?

Am I missing something completely? Are these even compatible with each other? I chose Ubiquti for the switch SFP+ since Mikrotik doesn't vendor-lock, AFAICT.
