I’ve been awake for too many hours and probably nothing I post right now should be considered a reasonable take

  • We had an excellently maintained late datsun z. Of course my idiot brother burns out the transmission doing idiot things in the late 90s and that totals her. Our mechanic bought it from us and i still see her around town.

    I should’ve just learned how to fix the damn thing myself, but they do have some nice safety features (like the “hey, someone is in your blind spot, dipshit” light so i can tell at a glance they’re in my blind spot instead of having to turn and stare them down). i really need to finish learning how to weld and solder and i bet i could just build that damn car out of a kit.








  • Similarly, if I give admins and server owner both the power to delete the server, with admins having to vote a simple majority in order to do so, it basically creates a mutually assured destruction scenario, where both have to co-operate.

    if you were an instance owner you would also want to run that by your lawyer. i’m not a lawyer but i have not had coffee and i can see four different scenarios that having a killswitch like that would get you in neck deep shit. stuff like willful and premeditated destruction of evidence, depending on the severity, blah blah blah. short version, everyone i work with works in pen, not pencil. not because we’re that good (we are) but because if we need to remove something from any records, you (generally) do it by amending the record to show the correction, not deleting the error.
