Sanity is overrated.
Plus most of it is old office equipment saved from the trash. Only stuff that I purchased is the gaming PC when thats due for a rebuild and all the wires…
4-6 screens… EvE Online player who has a different account on each screen. Primary is lower left, the alts all get scattered on the others. And screens 5/6 are technically a seperate PC, but I use Synergy to share a mouse and keyboard.
Most games live on screen 1, which is also routed through a capture card. (I need to fix the audio passthrough, project for future me)
3 - 4
1 - 2 = 5 - 6

My boss makes a dollar
I make a dime
That is why I poop on company time.
UK version:
My supervisor makes a pound.
I make a pence
That is why I shit at the companies expense.
Whoo. ISO-8601 fan club. Its so much easier for computers to sort dates in that format. I insist on using it for documents at work and Excel even handles it better with less formatting issues. I do wish they covered it in schools earlier, its neat, logical and works best when everyone is on the same page.
I like spaceships…
Which ring? Limbo aint so bad, just windy, Oklahoma building codes would be more than sufficent, and you get to pal around with all the famous people who croaked before big J showed up. Real estate in some of the lower rings should get pretty cheap, you would not need much infrastructure for heating and cooling as the tempeature varies wildly between the rings (which according to Dante, are atleast walking distance apart)
I personally would set up an ice rink adventure camp on ring 9. Cocytus does not appear to thaw, so long as you dont mind skating around the traitors frozen in the ice and stay an arms length from Lucifer, you can probably set up a pretty good tourist trap.
It is yourself. Because winning or losing is less important than having fun. If you did not have fun, then you lost, no matter the outcome.
Questions (because I have different answers based on their responses).
- How much heads up do I get
- What type of zombies, do they run or shamble? Infection or magic?
For the time based one, if you have enough of a heads up or are ahead of the panic, go north (does not apply with magic zombies). In America, get your ass to Calgary or Edmonton, for europe Helsinki. Zombies would freeze or slow down in the weather would prevent the majority from reaching your base. If those arnt options, find a location where the enviroment does most of the zombie killing for you.
If you dont have the heads up, you need to find a place to hunker down and set up a base quick. You need to pick a place you can get to without roads, and wont be on less prepared peoples high priority lists. If your in a city, get out, if your in the burbs, you got options, rural people can take their time, but also have the most work to do.
Personally, my zombie plan is to use a local 2-story school, they are designed in such a manner that they wont be broken into easily, you can secure the second story by knocking out the stairs, the field may be enclosed and they will have a nurses office, cafateria and woodshop.
All these preperations mostly apply to Infection zombies and are fine so long as they cant climb. Magic zombies are really going to be situational and surviving them will require knowing their rules. Survival is the name of the game, you cant fight the horde, so again, try and let the eviroment do that for you.
Dont break the weekend safety brief.
- Do not add to the population
- Do not subtract from the population
- Do not end up in the newspaper, hospital or jail. – If you do end up in jail, establish dominance quickly.
Obviosuly this a a comedic response but it covers most of the bases.
I still dont get pickleball… But I do want a movie (think The Benchwarmers or Blades of Glory level of effort) set in the suburbs, styled like a LA gang-land film, where a bunch or retirees, HOA people and PTA parents fight over if the community center installs a racketball or pickleball court.
IMO, he has been playing the same over-grown man-child of a character in every movie for 20 years (with exceptions).
Also Happy Madison studios wrote Dana Carvey a blank check to make one of the worst movies ever made and that was the last nail in the coffin for his acting career.
If your booked in Florida they will put your mugshot in the paper (and now they know where you are). Sunshine laws make it seem like all crime in that state is comitted by one very dedicated couple (Florida Man/Florida Woman) with access to a cartoonish amount of vehicles, drugs, and oversized agressive reptiles.
He is the most unrealistic part of the film, he had a problem, found the most qualified person to fix it, listened to them (eventually), and then didnt take credit for it.
Glad I could help. Remember a personal pilosophy is subjective, your going to have to reach those conclusions on your own. But if you want to talk shop, nerds are here to help.
Lets break down the arguments, and throw up that content warning because were about to do a philosophy.
(Sad dead Dutch/French thinkers)
The first option was to embrace Nhilism, this option is the worst outcome because one of the logical outcomes is if the universe has no meaning, why, as a part of the universe, should you. We’re going to drop this option right here because one of the physical representation of this viewpoint is suicide and thats not a healthy state of mind to be in, plus someone would have to clean up your mess.
The second option is Soren Kierkegaards leap of faith, by putting your faith (synonomys with “meaning of life” in this context) in something other than your self, you are no longer responsible for it. A leap of faiths original intent was to join a religion (cough christianity cough), but this is Lemmy and atheists abound in the 21st century so there isnt much point delving into this option here. The point is that your faith is put into an entity higher than yourself. I would argue that it does not need to be an abastract entity like the abrahamic god, gaia or Tom Cruise anymore, anything that can be used to provide a higher objective meaning works (as irrational as it is). This option could be viewed as suicide in a philosopical sense because you cease seeking meaning, because you claim to have already found it.
The final point, rejection of the absurd, is unfortunatly the last option and also requires the most effort. To use it as a personal philosophy involves the rejection of objective meaning and focusing on subjective meaning in spite of the absurdity of it all. That is the part that I feel takes effort, spite (without anger) is a taxing state of mind to maintain, and it does not provide the structures that tends to come with the package of option two. To quote many of the other thread and to use it as a jumping off point, the phrase “Do no harm”, the first word is Do, an action, something altered in the universe, something changed. If the universe is meaningless, then to revolt is to simply doing something and putting in the effort to make it a subjectivly good something.
This is the point where people would comicly point out that Camus being very French (Algerian), rebelion and revolt are sorta their national past times, and Ive always gotten a chuckle out of that.
Damn this took all day to write and got a little rambly… Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.
First, great choice in reading (Im a fan of Camus as well).
As for the meaning of life thing…
Thats the neat part. You don’t.
Thats why in absurdist fiction like Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. Its not supposed to make sense and the universe is under no obligation to do so for you (the books even postulate that the universe does not want anyone to know so if someone figures it out it winks out of existance and replaced itself with something weirder, some scientists think this has happened before).
That goes back to Camus point about the remedies for the bleakness of early-mid 20th century philosophy. He proposed three options, Nhilism, a leap of faith (looking at you Kierkegaard), or absurdism, the last being what the doctor perscribes, but also requires the most effort because you have to find your question to the ultimate answer your self… Or not, who cares. Lets go spend some time by a lake that thinks its a gin & tonic.
Orzo (rice shaped pasta) and peanut butter, its ultra-dense camping food, never need to make more than a small bowl.
Never do anything you would be afraid to explain to the paramedics.
Obviously I know how they work, I saw it in a documentary about Airplanes. The Otto pilot inflates at the press of a button (or is inflated manually) and they fly the plane.
