  • True. Or just grab the fork and pick up something, no words even needed.

    If a waiter’s coming around to clear the table, usually it’s because people at the table are giving indications that they’re done - nobody’s eating anymore, cutlery is set parallel in the “finished” (4-10) position, etc.




  • I heard from my dad that back in the day some butchers used to pass it off as some cuts of beef. It’s not like they couldn’t sell horse meat, since it’s legal (there’s some health requirements) but beef is supposed to be more tender and tasty, thus more expensive.

    It’s just not a particularly desired type of meat, so you don’t see it often at butchers nowadays.

    Boy half is somewhat accurate, but usually it’ll be some other friend in the conversation who’ll jump in with some stupid remark like “what you guys homo now”, and the rest will join in and laugh.

    Having learned their lesson, they’ll know not to compliment another boy again, and to mock others if they do it.

    It spreads like a cancer, really.



  • The other day I was looking at a guy who made a “cheap build!” for his homelab, to play with around AI models. The guy had 4 (FOUR!) 4090s with a 2kW+ PSU in some run of the mill case.

    I have a 1Gb Pi 4B that hosts my critical network infrastructure (DHCP, DNS, cloudflared), a 20 year old laptop that I brought back to life with an SSD and some cheap RAM for mostly everything else, and the only thing I splurged a bit was a NAS with 2 drives for proper RAID, for the family photos and docs.

    But I started with the cheap Pi, and built up from there. Don’t start from the top :)
