Just voted! Looks like water and coffee are going strong so far, which I also ended up voting for on top too. Lots of super sugary stuff, honestly having an herbal tea, coffee, or sparkling water I feel much better after vs a soda or juice.

Total combined storage if I don’t count offline backup drives is a bit more than 25TB, though I got another 8TB SSD today so that’ll be going up soon.

I would say about half of that storage is filled with a number of different archives, lots of video, music, and game stuff just lying around. I also do not like to delete anything ever if I can avoid it. Basically just a hoarder, but I prefer to call it archival lol. I actually do maintain a ~1.4TB or so archive of content for 20 years of stuff from a rhythm game called Stepmania.

Fine, but since there isn’t enough dirt to fill it in I’m going to make a bunch of floating trees and fill it with wood :)

How times have changed, and so have we.

Godspeed Marine, if it became an actual page by July 1st that’d be funny as hell.

Lemmyparty.org, the premier website to see a single image of geriatric rodents having a good time.

I think an important question to ask is what “free will” actually is. I find people throw the term around without necessarily having a concrete definition for what they personally mean. When I use the term free will, I am saying that the the choices a sapient being makes would somehow be independent from all of the variables within the natural Universe. If it is dependent on natural variables (whether we know of them or not) this makes it deterministic, simply regular reactions to an unimaginably large domino effect.

The only hypothetical test I could conceive of would be if someone were able to rewind literally all variables of the Universe to a point in time just before decisions were made by another being, and doing this countless times and seeing if the outcome ever changes. I’d consider this to be entirely untestable, and as such I do not entertain the idea. For now I hold to what seems to be demonstrably true, which is that everything seems to operate and behave based on their properties, and react based on other variables which interact with them. With enough variables, we can make models to accurately predict the world around us, I do not expect our will to be any different.
