Scouting for cubs?

veroxii ,

Yeah that would suck. Also how much is that discount?

Ni.ce

I'd be surprised if Nicolas Cage doesn't own 8 of these already.

Yes "sweet or hoppy" sums it up so well. I've been traveling a lot to the USA the last few years and whenever I bring this up at the inevitable craft brewery we end up at the Americans think I have no sense of taste in beer.

But they're all the same and horrible. They've been brain washed.

Compared to loading ads? Most people will see an overall speedup when blocking ads even with the extra overhead.

Shit just works

Can also be used to cover the face when saving someone ugly.

To be fair femman and fembear are already busy in the forest and don't care about what anyone else does.

Think of all the ink they're saving! The ink is how they usually get you.

Or probably pay an extra $5 for the better hosting plan.

In Australia we don't show ID either to vote. You just say your name and they look you up in a giant book and draw a line through your name.

Always thought it was strange. Honour system I guess.

At least the new windows copilot told me how to disable it.

    Is Reddit conversion therapy a thing yet?

    I thought KeePass files are strongly encrypted. How are they the weakest link if you use a proper pass phrase?

    How old are you now?

    Oh, it's powerful Tommy. It's tip-top!

    Gonna need some privacy

    veroxii ,

    Nope. Friday already.

    veroxii ,

    Because 99% of the people live near the coast line and it's all beaches and generally laid back.

    Whereas the large interior is dry, hot outback with very few people.

    Generally boils down to misogyny and racism. https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/tv/2018/08/big-bang-theory-plague-society-we-should-rejoice-its-overdue-end

    4 out of 5 ain't bad.

    veroxii ,

    Why "unfortunately"? Surely there's minimal security risk in having solitaire installed? And surely your workplace treats people like adults who can responsibly manage their own time and workload?

    veroxii ,

    I mean reason 31 could be anything. CPU 3 could be feeling a little tired, be pranking you, or just not be the brightest of the CPUs.

    You're going to love the tv show "forged in fire"!

    Remind me of Iain Banks' theory in The Algebraist:

    ...The Truth was the presumptuous name of the religion, the faith that lay behind reality. It arose from the belief that what appeared to be real life must in fact - according to some piously invoked statistical certitudes - be a simulation being run within some prodigious computational substrate in a greater and more encompassing reality beyond. This was a thought that had, in some form, crossed the minds of most people and all civilizations. However, everybody quickly or eventually came round to the idea that a difference that made no difference wasn't a difference to be much bothered about, and one might as well get on with (what appeared to be) life.

    The Truth went a stage further, holding that this was difference that could be made to make a difference. What was necessary was for people truly to believe in their hearts, in their souls, in their minds, that they really were in a vast simulation. They had to reflect upon this, to keep it at the forefront of their thoughts at all times and they had to gather together on occasion, with all due ceremony and solemnity, to express this belief. And they must evangelise, they must convert everybody they possibly could to this view, because - and this was the whole point - once a sufficient proportion of people within the simulation came to acknowledge that it was a simulation, the value of the simulation to those who had set it up would disappear and the whole thing would collapse.

    If they were all part of some vast experiment, then the fact that those on whom the experiment was being conducted had guessed the truth would mean that its value would be lost. If they were some plaything, then again, that they had guessed this meant they ought to be acknowledged, even - perhaps - rewarded. If they were being tested in some way, then this was the test being passed, this was a positive result, again possibly deserving a reward. If they had been undergoing punishment for some transgression in the greater world, then this ought to constitute cause for rehabilitation.

    It was not possible to know what proportion of the simulated population would be required to bring things to a halt (it might be fifty percent, it might be rather smaller or greater), but as long as the numbers of the enlightened kept increasing, the universe would be constantly coming closer to the epiphany, and the revelation could come at any point.

    The Truth claimed with some degree of justification to be the ultimate religion, the final faith, the last of all churches...

    ...It could also claim a degree of universality that the others could not. All other major religions were either specific to their originating species, could be traced back to a single species - often a single subset of that species - or were consciously developed amalgams, syntheses, of a group of sufficiently similar religions of disparate origin...

    ... The Truth could even claim to be not a religion at all, where such a claim might endear it to those not naturally religious by nature. It could be seen more as a philosophy, even as a scientific postulate backed by unshakeably firm statistical likelihood.

    There were some potentially unfortunate consequences implicit in a profound belief in the Truth. One was that there was a possibility that when the simulation ended, all the people being simulated would cease to exist entirely. The sim might be turned off and everybody within the substrate running it would die. There might be no promotion, no release, no return to a bigger and better and finer outside: there might just be the ultimate mass extinction...

    veroxii ,

    It's from the Algebraist which I think is technically not a Culture book. But many people say you can read it as a sort of Culture prequel.

    I did Electronic Engineering in the 90s and HP stuff was amazing. The HP oscilloscopes were unreal. My trusty HP 48GX calculator still works 30 years later. HP built the best calculators ever made. (TI people have no idea what they're missing).

    And even their laserjet series of printers were behemoths that lasted decades.

    It makes me literally sick how shit they are now as a company.

    veroxii ,

    HP anything really.

    veroxii ,

    The bird in the comic literally has to go through a complicated display, song and dance to state their intentions.

    Hardly direct.

    We went to Japan last year and they have a fast food chain called MOS burger. The food looked exactly like the menu pictures... It was amazing! Plump and delicious.

    Anywhere needing snow plows is a deal breaker for me.

    Yeah my Pixel does the same. In airplane mode I don't even have to turn Bluetooth on... It just keeps on working with my headphones.

    veroxii ,

    I read this years ago and it has always worked for me: sometimes your phone goes into a state where mobile data or even calls stop working (on android at least). Not often .. but it happens. I used to restart the phone, but then someone mentioned that turning airplane made on for a few seconds and then turning it off again restarts the whole mobile comms stack / services. And I can confirm that 99% of the time it fixes any 4G or 5G connectivity issues without needing a restart.

    veroxii ,

    It's not even their picture. It was stolen pinned from somewhere else on the web.

    Why watch your shows on a laptop when there's obviously a brand new bigger tv around somewhere?
