Some of our people have issues. I've wondered about the number of people who simply mustuse a Pi, and must upgrade the Ram. That number must be close to zero. But the perpetually offended can always find a reason to be offended.

Something surely happened to the guy. Having a conversation with him is worthless these days. Calling people cucks over nothing, and his rageboners aside Dr Ol suggests some weed gummies, or ketamine.

My main beef with the Pi foundation is I had to buy a new Power supply when I switched from the Pi4 to 5. And that's pretty darn trivial, more a minor annoyance.

And seriously - who is tricking out their Pi with gobs of Ram anyhow? Who would even want to?

It is a contraction of "Cuckhold" Men who enjoy watching their wives have sex with other men - or possibly other women. The man is called a cuck, his wife is called a "hotwife"

A derivative is "CuckQueen, a female version of a cuckhold.

Probably more than anyone wants to know. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

That's DrinkyPoo's word of the day. Called me a cuck about DNA in another story.

I have no idea why DrinkyPoo thinks that poster and I enjoy watching other men bang our wives.

Be gentle, I think he might be spiraling.

And the Pi5 is not all that meh anyhow.

I have a Pi5. I can run my FlexRadio 6600 using AetherSDR with it and it runs pretty darn well. As you might guess, a radio that is a server with a radio front end and with graphics heavy whole buncha stuff going on is a pretty good test of computer horsepower.

If I was just surfing and doing email, and documents, the little thing could be a daily driver.

Note if anyone wondering about AetherSDR, it is a platform agnostic Open Source Software Defined Radio software, so Linux, MacOS and Windows will run it. Native builds for each.

https://www.aethersdr.com/ Works well on a Pi5, I'ma try it on a Pi4, bur I don't think the 4 has enought oomph to run it well.

Is it not odd that many feminists demand genetic males in women's sports?

After all the years of trying to get away from the "tyranny of men", they are demanding to be placed under male domination and tyranny, with the only metric being the male saying he is a woman. Then he is a woman, and can play on their team.

The sad part is that while women do not have the athletic ability of men - as a generalization - sports are a wonderful thing for women. So what if they aren't quite as fast, or strong, or let's face it, aggressive. They gain positive things from sports as much as everyone else.

And you appeal to your narrative, and engage in the pointless tactic of shaming. You Drinkypoo, are allowed to have your narrative, and if you want to believe you are a horse, or a seal, or anything that gives you purpose, but you are none of those, and trying to claim I am clueless about DNA, merely points out that you are perhaps not the juggernaught of knowledge you like to portray yourself as.

It really isn't rocket science, to use another hackneyed term, but it boils down to this as a nickel tour:

DNA is a polymer (of all things) two of them that wrap around each other. This is the famed double helix structure. The polymers have repeating units called nucleotides. These are composed of a number of things like lipids (fatty material) sugar groups (polysaccharides) like ribose, and phosphates. Both strands of the double helix contain the same information. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA information is organized in structures called chromosomes.

This just touches the surface, so I'll go to male vs female differences at the chromosome.

When we look at the sexual differences, there is a very distinct difference between males and females. The top level definition is that Males have two sex based chromosomes, named X, and Y. Females have two sex based chromosomes, both are X.

The Y chromosomes contain what is called the SYR gene, which the gene that controls development of the testes.

DNA is not perfect, as plenty of mutations can occur. When they involve the X and Y Chromosomes I group them under intersex. Some are strange indeed. There is hermaphroditism, where the genes are mixed up. and sometimes becomes the SYR gene migrates to places it normally wouldn't.

There is also a case with women, where all external appearances appear normal, often tall, slender and beautiful, but no internal sexual organs exist.

But the existence of outliers does not alter the fact that a fully transitioned sex swap, where a normal male or female transgender person takes puberty blockers, injections of hormones, has breasts or penis and testicles amputated, and artificial genitals surgically constructed, and can look for all the world like the opposite sex, a DNA test that shows the X and Y Chromosomes show that person to be unambiguously male, and two X Chromosomes presented show that the person is unambiguously female.

This has nothing to do with politics. DNA is DNA, we might as well have a vote on the speed of light, or Ohm's law, or the energy retention or rejection characteristics of an atmosphere controlled by the gaseous components of that atmosphere.

And it is a particularly odd hill to choose to die on. Denial of DNA is anti-science. Just like vaccine denial is anti-science, especially with the new MRna vaccines. Or that living things do not evolve, or they the earth was created around 6000 years ago. If we wish to enter the political spectrum, what needs attention is hatred of transgender people. That is a political thing.

Compassion and acceptance of different people is key. Laugh away.

Kinda depends on what you sign, my man. We had student interns, and everything they worked on was contractually bound.

This isn't fear, it is the results of DNA biology. and by the way, you just went reeeee!. Not me. I have no issue if a person wants to dress and act as what they consider the other sex. Not my problem, and I won't bother them. But it is still playing dress up, Just the same as if I wear a toga, and that makes me a 100 AD Roman. So your understanding of biology trumps mine? Tell me that a man is the same thing as. a woman, and that if he says he is a woman, he is legally a woman.

You see, your ideology and rejection of biology is the same as the Soviet Unions embracement of Lysenkoism. Real time evolution where the subject changes itself in real time. Just like your thinking a man is a woman or a woman a man. Why did they do that? Because Lysenkoism jibed with their ideology, but not reality. Then again, I have no surprise that you would embrace that sort of thing.

Your ideology while different than the MAGA's is just as warped as their's, you are just the opposite side of the coin

No, your narrative simply cannot figure out what to do with me. Define conservative first, Let's make no mistake. Rather than having a narrative of what I am told I believe, I think about exactly what I am told to believe. So some of my opinions are decidedly left sounding, I support abortion, I support universal healthcare. Sounds leftist, amirite?

Then again, I believe there are three sexes, male female, and a small group of intersex people. DNA serves as proof, and people of one sex demanding they are another, often through aggressive physical alterations are merely playing dress-up. I support the working class something that the Democrats very loudly and ambiguously abandoned in the last general election And let us not mistake, having been in the academic community for going on 45 years now, I can tell you that this so called conservative abandonment is not completely voluntary. Would you work for a place that tells you that you are a rapist? I've sat through those meetings. A place where they will march to keep conservative commentators like Anne Coulter out, and keep comedians like Larry the Cable guy, Bill Maher, and gasp... Ray Romano from playing on camupus. The first two are understandably different opinions, but Ray Romano?

With some of my opinions not falling in line with the leftists on campus, I don't voice those opinions.

When I first arrived on Campus, the concept of the liberal (in the classic sense) education was to expose students to a wide variety of thoughts and opinions. Over time, it started becoming more exclusionary. Even now, a sort of sexual apartheid has developed. I get all the Cleary reports. If they get 1 report a year now, it is surprising. Problem is, normal women would like to have interactions, possibly romance with the so called rapists who are actually just regular guys who would never abuse a woman. A completely unnatural fugue state has developed, with lonely women who wonder where the men have gone, and guys hanging out with their friends, playing games or getting outdoors and having fun. The bars are noticing. Many of us could have predicted this.

You see the effects on campus and around town. You might see 300 unattached students before you see a couple.

What you think is my cynicism is just me observing. And yes, it is infinitely easier to have your ideology preached to you, and told the other opinions are evil. Eventually it leads to cult like behavior , like the so called MAGAS. They operate on the ideology that if you are a Democrat, or whoever the Orange shitgibbon says is a Republican In Name Only, you are unworthy. Cult. But left wingers shouldn't get smug - they do the same, if only not as extreme. The same happens in society and in here, with people like me having thought based opinions, I can be called MAGA or commie depending on what I post.

I certainly have no reason to make shit up. If our animal lover were to check my posts, he's see that I've documented many cases, showing just how bad it is. Even Microsoft admits W11 is a hot mess of dog puke. Not links for you, you already know the truth - but since I already replied to our lad, here's something for him to read. Perhaps he can tell Microsoft that they too are full of bullshit, and that no one who knows anything about computers has ever had a problem, so they do not need to make any changes. https://techcommunity.microsof...

Oh, How about both. Sorry My friend who has a thing for animals, I only touched the surface. I teach classes for digital communications via RF. Have done so for years. You'll have a computer, a soundcard interface, and CAT control of the radio that you need to get working together. Back in Windows 7 days, in two classes we had everyone running in two classes, then started in on the details of the software, students gaining expertise.

In Windows 10 days, there were some hiccups, but eventually things settled down, usually 3 weeks to get everything running. Moved to Zoom, which worked great for this.

The next to last class, everyone had Windows 11. I even bought a laptop specifically for the class.

It was a FSCK'ing disaster. Every class, someone had a setup that was working, then an update wrecked it. I switched to running the software on my Mac mini. We couldn't proceed until every one had a working system. A couple just gave up.

After 8 weeks, with no progress the students were pissed, grumbling. Many talking about using Linux I suggested taking a two week hiatus explaining the process of making dual boot machines. They are smart people, they got Linux Mint installed. Got Zoom installed.

Then we started the Linux based classes. two sessions, and all was running. It stayed running.

We ended up terminating the classes early, not because of failure, but they ran through the syllabus at lightning speed. Word spread.

New classes will be Linux based.

Apprenticeship's are actually a very good thing. Or it might be said that not having a pipeline is a very bad thing. Once upon a time, I could have had an apprentice to learn about what I do. After the bean counters took over (seriously, we went from there of them to the largest single department in the institute, around 150 Bean counters) they just sucked up all the overhead.

So 5 years before I retired, I told them I was retiring at 55. That they better figure out what to do post me. Every year I told them we were one year closer. They told me I couldn't afford to retire. two years before I actually arranged a meeting where I explained my financial position. One year before, I wrote a memo that explained that they now needed to compensate me at a significant level, like 50 percent.

All this built up to the incredible shock when I turned in one month's notice. My idiot supervisor didn't even tell the director, who called me panicked on my last day. Next think I know, I'm an emergency rehire with the idea I'd train a replacement.

Dumbass supervisor and the bean counters still didn't give me an apprentice. So they tried to plug people in. Didn't work, but I wasn't going to continue the emergency rehire longer than a year. Word on the street was my stupid supervisor took a "early retirement".

Since then I've taken an appointment in another department who offered me compensation I couldn't refuse. They are also hiring an intern/apprentice for me.

tl;dr version - Apprentices are actually a good thing. Not all jobs are cookie cutter.

Such a victim.

Ain't that the truth! We see a lot of that embittered crowd in here. Utterly damaged young people, so cynical they aren't going to ever be successful. So angry, yet they have forgotten the only constructive outlet for anger is the revenge of becoming successful.

Affirmations and manifestation, which is what they were taught was the path to success, is actually kind of a lazy concept.

They've been focussed on the exceptional tiny minority of people who became wealthy at a young age as the standard. The 99.999999 percent of the rest of us have to be on our grind, and that it takes time to become successful. It takes perseverance, and a good attitude. Took me until my late 40's. But the fresh graduates expected to be making 6 figures to start, expected rapid promotions, and ending up in the C-Suite in 5 years, got a serious shock to the system. So many moved back with the parents.

I don't blame them. They weren't allowed to grow up.Well meaning parents and schools tried to shield them from any adversity while telling them they were the most important entity in the universe, and all they need to do is find their passion, and the world will part for them like the Red Sea But they do have to grow up eventually - there is still time. Just have to lose that crash and burn cynicism.
