Because you just shove one end of the cable in the toilet and flush. The CAT5 pulls itself that way, smarty-pants.
I have been seeing some positive vibes coming from .ml over the last day or so. Kinda cool, actually.
~~wrong~~ different
There is no such thing as normal, so embrace who you are in all of your different ways.
Even if physical handicaps are involved, like you actually can't walk a straight line or if you have difficulty breathing, that has its own challenges but it's not wrong.
And yeah. People can be really dick'ish sometimes and that sucks. The sooner you stop giving a fuck what they think, the sooner you can be happier with yourself.
The second I embraced who I was, in my own ways, I could stop killing myself slowly with booze. Alcohol was just my own way of coping and it really sucked.
It's impossible for me to fully understand what you are going through, but FWIW, I can relate. And trust me, life can get better if you let it, but make no mistake: I know it ain't as easy as saying the words.
Chin up and keep on keepin' on!
Yes.
Spores are everywhere like you say and you only really see a tiny percentage of mycelium. Fungi kinda is everywhere already, but where it can grow well is much more limited.
Fungi can be remarkably picky about its growing conditions to thrive, otherwise, it's growth will be remarkably slow. However, if you put a tablespoon of dirt under the microscope, there could be dozens of mycelial strands in it trying to survive. They can all survive, to a degree, but there are a couple of issues preventing dominance.
If it can find a place to settle in and grow, chances are that many other spores may be trying to take hold as well. Fungi is insanely competitive and is constantly fighting for space. Fast growing fungi is what we normally see take over food sources and it's usually a type of trichoderma. Trichoderma will literally choke out other fungal growths simply due to its rapid development. If an existing colony is weakened for one reason or another and it gets a trich infection, it's game over.
For commercial mycelium development, (button mushrooms, oysters, etc.) growing conditions are generally perfect and the substrate used is tailored specifically per species. (It's mostly sanitized poo or specific types of wood.) Temperatures need to be adjusted for each growth phase as fungi can be very sensitive to that. Some strains of shiitake are rumored to require a physical shock to fruit. (Like, the substrate bag needs to be physically smacked hard. It's an odd characteristic.)
To sum all of this up, it usually comes down to competition. Where there isn't fungi, there is bacteria. Plants even have chemical defenses to both. Small critters and insects may eat all three of those things.
Next time you look at your garden, just remember you are looking at an actual battleground for millions of critters of all shapes and sizes.
Edit: Deleting this post. It's starting to get controversial, but that's OK. Not what I planned on, but whatevers.
They have kinda always been a thing. Nazi's were just one flavor of nationalist, after all.
Charles de Gaulle defined nationalism best: "Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first."
For most people, it's extremely easy to blame others for problems of their own creation. By the same token, people who can't see their own shortcomings will also usually latch on to leaders who are able to amplify that bias. For the Nazis, it was mostly against the jews.
Also, what you are seeing in the news is partially amplified by the news itself but also, politicians are getting more brazen in mustering the support of those groups. This has lead to people being a little more open about something that needs to stay taboo, IMHO.
It's one of the better EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tools on the market. For enterprises, they are able to suck down tons of system activities and provide alerting for security teams.
For detection, when I say "tons of data", I mean it. Any background logs related to network activity, filesystem activity, command line info, service info, service actions and much more for every endpoint in an organization.
The response component can block execution of apps or completely isolate an endpoint if it is compromised, only allowing access by security staff.
Because Crowdstrike can (kind of) handle that much data and still be able to run rule checks while also providing SOC services makes them a common choice for enterprises.
The problem is that EDR tools need to run at the kernel level (or at a very high permission level) to be able to read that type data and also block it. This increases the risk of catastrophic problems if specific drivers are blocked by another kind of anti-malware service.
When you look at how EDR tools function, there is little difference between them and well written malware.
Crowdstrike became a choice recently for many companies that got fucked over by Broadcom buying VMWare. VMWare owned another tool, Carbon Black, which became subject to the fuckery of Broadcom so more companies scrambled to Crowdstrike recently.
I hope that was enough of a summary.
A few hours later, I just discovered how long this cheesy noodle trend has been going on for.
Also, this idea was already taken by a previous poster who likely started this trend quite a few days ago, I see.
My mistake!
That's fairly bold to ask for ~6% of the total world economy as well as a sizable chunk of the world's energy.
They can leech all the data they want from my employer. I don't give a fuck. Never use company assets for personal business as an addendum.
Just be a little more careful with your own stuff, s'all.
Just a random selfie with a Russian propagandist. That doesn't mean anything by itself, however. He also was spotted in another photo with Kushner at the world cup as well and again, that doesn't mean anything more than a picture.
What it does mean, however, is that the world's richest man chooses to be in close proximity to some really shady people. Or not. The world cup managers probably just had a section carved off for the Friends of Putin club.
Hi again!
Still sober; A few years in with hopefully more in the future. I am going to preface this with a trigger warning. I may touch on some dark spots that recently sober people probably will not want to read. tl; dr: Sobriety isn't all rainbows and unicorn farts.
The last few days have been rough, but yet, here I am. Even before the recent political chaos, I was already in a seriously dark nihilistic phase for some reason, so that sucked.
Strangely enough, my recent cravings are not specifically about drinking, but more about numbing myself to the world for just a few short hours. Alcohol just happens to be the only crutch I know that does that in just the perfect way.
In retrospect, craving alcohol was just a symptom of deeper issues I needed to resolve.
I have mentioned several times that I do not particularly care for AA or its methodology, but damn does it get a ton of things right about how the brain of a drunk works. In my case specifically, me getting caught up in issues I can't control and problems I can't solve was pointing me square into the depths of a bottle. My unwillingness to resolve the things I could control was also pointing me in the wrong direction. The feedback loop of my problems being everyone else's fault had started once again.
Alcohol is my faux cocoon. It can and will give me a few short hours of relief where I truly don't care about anyone or anything else. That is the temptation for me now when it used to be about just getting a fix. For better or for worse, life seemed much simpler when I was numb.
When we take a step back and look at the world and even everything we know about the universe, our individual lives actually don't matter one bit. After the awe wore off from seeing pictures of recently discovered black hole jets that extended for 23 million light years into the void, I was left wondering how many thousands of planets it must have wiped clean over the time it took form. How many other solar systems and societies did the universe just extinguish at random? Needless to say, it took a bit of mental gymnastics to justify how me not drinking a beer would actually matter to anyone or anything here in even just 10 years time. It absolutely isn't a concern of the universe as whole if you choose to think about things that way.
But I will say, yet again, here I am. I am here again typing out a carbon copy of the same story we all share in one way or another and have collectively typed out millions of times over. At the end of the day we do this because it works. It solves a problem I have now, on this planet in this solar system and in our universe.
What I think the overall point of this was, is that coming to terms with our own insignificance can be challenging, if not repetitive. Without a doubt, my own insignificance was (and still is) a driver for my alcoholism. Life is an interesting thing and is as beautiful as it is brutal.
So, pending any solar system destruction events, I will not drink with you today.
