And crappy manufacturers being crappy is a tale as old as manufacture.

Ea Nasir catching hate still it seems.

It was 10 yep.

Probability is easy, once you realise the odds of something occurring is always 50%.

Either it does, or it doesnt. :p

Also a great stoner rock band name.

Check out their split EP with the Mammoth Bong Druids of Weed Wizard Mountain!

They may have been launched from within Russia.

Boxxy must be what…40 now?

I am unironically going to start using “fostering gratitude loops with dish-based reciprocity”

with the power of the heart of the cards, and this new haircut, I can win her back!

Thanks for the rec! I’ll definitely suggest that but the head of our IT dept has a particular dislike for FOSS, due to past bad experiences, but I’ve been slowly whittling him down.

my company was paying a license for a tool to let them snag areas of the screen for screenshots, with quick tools to hilight or circle or add arrows to certain areas. an expensive license. more people than I care to admit we’re shocked when I showed them the windows snipping tool with win + shift + x

I think we might have worked at the same company. Did it begin with a K?

You can’t share a story like that and not name the band and album!

I too also want to know what the Irish instance is.

Thanks for the thorough explanation!

I’m ambivalent about Rust, I see it mentioned a lot but I’ve never really dug into it to see why it’s so lauded. Is there any particular reason why the pro-rust community don’t simply fork the Linux kernel to have a “Rust-Nix” ?

can someone fill me in with a tldr of what’s going on lately? I know there’s some contention in the Linux community about rust, I’ve seen it mentioned here and there, but what’s the actual story with all this.

Hank D. Hamburgers Electric Freedom Gun-Republic

if I remember rightly, they had an entire props department doing the creature in the old-school way, with property and special effects, and decided in editing to replace it with CGI. Really sad. Think of how great modern physical effects could be with the advanced we made since the 80s

And one day your child will grow and cut theirs into rectangle, the circle of sandwich life continues.

PersonallyI I cut mine into irregular polyhedrons.

What’s even more maddening, there was a fisherman named Finn who dedicated his life to catching the salmon. Every day he got up and laid a trap for it, and every day the salmon outsmarted him. But finally one day, after seven years of failures he managed to catch it. So he guts the fish and sticks it over the fire to cook it, but hes dying to take a piss and is afraid to keave the salmon in case it burns and is ruined. Up walks Half-man half-god, all party animal Fionn mac Cumhaill (transliteration: Finn McCool, there’s a lot of people named Finn in Irish folklore) and says “hey man whats going on”

The fisherman explains his predicament asks him “Hey can you do me a favor and watch this salmon while I run off for a piss, but don’t eat it!”

“No prob” says Fionn and off the fisherman runs. Fionn sits down and watches the fish. After some time he notices a blister appearing on the side of the fish so he pokes it to pop it, but burns his thumb. Just as the fisherman comes back from releiving himself Fionn sticks his thumb in his mouth to suck it, to cool off the burn, and wouldn’t you know it, is suddenly granted with all the knowledge and wisdom of mankind. His eyes glow blue.

“Balls” says the fisherman. “I was going to eat that” and Fionn apologises and while the fisherman is intialky angryz he forgives Fionn, because hes a half-god and has a thing for killing people and could probably tear him in half. and from that day on whenever he needs to think or understand something on a deeper level, he just bites his thumb and the answer comes to him.

Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.
