It is an extension/evolution of the idea of ricing cars. Originally it was something like Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Basically stuff that makes your car look “racier”/faster, but does nothing for performance.

Edit to add - That is probably backronym to cover up for the mostly racist origination of that term. I can’t be sure.

Death to allegra geller! Death to existenz!

I bet you also have a 4 digit slashdot id!

(This is not an insult. Quite the opposite)

Partakes in text-based medium. Refuses to read well written and polite comment that is four whole paragraphs. Proceeds to think they are the intelligent one in the conversation. Are you huffing glue right now?

Let us know your URL if you could. I was thinking of doing it myself, but if you have the spoons, all the better.

I’m with you here. I have put qnaps in dozens of smb client solutions and I have only ever had problems with one of them. I don’t stan qnap - truenas all the way. But their offerings are not nearly as bad as this thread seems to imply.

Canada and Germany are so alike sometimes…

Baby burgers are love. Baby burgers are life.

Midnight ordering 30 baby burgers is one of my favorite things.

The spiders tend to stay out of the house. But everything outside the house? Yeah, spiders own that.

We get maybe 2 or 3 spiders in here every summer, and they get relocated. (unless they are on the ceiling above the bed, then they get dispatched.

May - blackflies

June - mosquitoes and blackflies

July - mosquitoes and deer flies

August - mosquitoes, deer flies, and horse flies

October - Whew, I can finally work outside

November - Start the fire, and keep it going until April.

No wheels on mine.

Nothing consistent. I probably should pick a spot and do a roll-up of the last four years and then post more regularly. I did a little summary about a year ago here --> https://lemmy.ca/post/16843909/7896562

Since then we actually have installed a deep well, washer/dryer, and two more outbuildings. I’ll try to reply to your comment in the next few days with more details if you are interested.

I also post completely randomly as Bo7a@loops.video and https://mstdn.ca/@solace

Hear hear!

Everyone is like “Move out of the city, live a life closer to nature” but also “If you use the only service that truly enables that you suck!”

I am merely intending to show how ‘just saying someone’s name’ can be taken as a reprimand/mild reproach. Which is what is happening in the original image.

At this point so many people have explained this that I feel you might be willfully ignorant. Cut it out.

Mom: Ok, let’s get in the car, time to go.

Child named Brian: But there is no car.

Mom: Brian!

Our snake Ruby (12 foot, 80lbs, red-tail boa) has been to kindergartens, old folks homes, random family reunions, and about 100 pet stores. She has never wrapped herself around anyone, hissed, or done anything aggressive. It sounds like your friends with snakes don’t take very good care of them. Or they got troubled animals.

I can sit on ice cream and tell you the flavour.

Sincerely though - I was just being an ass. I didn’t intend any actual offense. I Apologize. And I am not one of those downvotes.
