@tastymochafox Huh, I could probably get that working. That's exactly what I was hoping was out there, and I just needed a trusted referral. Thank youuuuu! <3

Hey, folks! I have two desktop PCs that we're not taking with us to New Orleans. I don't have Windows install disks. What's the most efficient way to wipe the hard drives? I don't necessarily need to reinstall the OS, just format them.

One's Win 7 Home Edition, the other's Windows 10. I can get you more details if necessary! Don't work too hard on this-- if worse comes to worse, we'll just yank the hard-drives and sell them as-is.

Oh, and if any Seattle locals want a cheap Windows box, let me know. :) One's fairly ancient, circa 2011 or so; the other's recentish, an i5 3450S with a 2.8 GHz quad processor, I think? I can get exact specs if you're interested.

@kelseyhusky Yeah. I saw Peg toot about that this morning and my first reaction was "Umm, I'm pretty sure Apple becoming anything remotely resembling a bank is on my End Times Top 10 Countdown list..."

@mona@cybre.space You should already be sorry you asked. :) https://bevlaw.com/bevlog/onion-wine/

I'm in pretty raw shape over a lot of things. I don't know if I'm even in a good position to ask for help, but that's where I am right now, and it's comforting to talk about it, even this little bit. Don't expect much whimsy or cleverness out of me for a while, but I'm doing my best to snap out of it.

@Xinjinmeng@mastodon.social I can say without irony that this is one of the finest space pirate names I have ever heard. *nod*

"He's basically Vanta Beige." -- some MeFi user, on some rich American liberal

(It's more complicated than that, and the subject of the comment actually seems like a decent guy, but... I love that line and want to see it expanded. One might fairly say, for instance, that I'm still working on getting past Vanta Red.)

I don't know what the hell my gender is these days, and I think I'm bored to exhaustion with wondering. But I do know that when I'm feeling sulky and frustrated like this, the first people I turn to are still Chrissie Hynde and Tori Amos. I don't know if that's much, I don't care if it's enough, but it's something.

@kobi_lacroix Hun, Gilda Radner was one of the kindest, sweetest souls to ever work in the comedy industry... and just last week I saw early work of her in which she was doing out-and-out yellowface and speaking grotesque mock "Korean."

It happens. It's probably good that it happens, because the alternative is no progress at all. Just don't blame yourself; you've clearly moved on from it. Values dissonance increases with time. It's a natural and healthy part of having a culture, and all you're obliged to do is learn.

My mood is probably terrible, but I'm too busy to check, and I'm glad.

I mean, doesn't this Grabovoi guy just look like a beacon of joyful light, and totally not a GRU agent about to give you a polonium swirlie?

And then we get into the REALLY good stuff...
