… Stonking Stingray?

Running out of names, Canonical?

Reminds me of some morning DJs I’ve heard on the radio. (Years ago, I don’t think radio even has DJs any more, outside of Sirius.)

In my previous job, we interviewed people for several positions, usually 4 to 6. Each area was looking for different things, so multiple interviews made sense, then it was up to each area if they wanted to make an offer. We’d include break for lunch and get non-managers to take them for lunch so they could chat. So not one 8h interview, several one hour interviews. This is pretty common with large organizations.

The author actually agrees with you.

I’m not sure renaming them like that was helpful - I had to keep looking up which sensor was which.

Couldn’t a dragon drop him off then just hang out on a roof nearby or something?

Women have some serious shit doled out at them about standards of beauty. I remember one girlfriend I had was very conscious about her skin not being perfect. She was a beautiful woman, great personality, a lot of fun - but was nervous because her skin wasn’t perfect. (We split because I had to move away to start my career, and she wanted kids, while I didn’t - so there wasn’t much point in continuing a long distance relationship.)

Still one step ahead of IBM!

Well I also think there’s something to be said for the sheer uselessness of it - not only CAN it do it, it’s not a major drain on battery life or anything.

Also, my first computer was an IBM PCjr, so my comment stands - transcribing audio would have taken that blazing 4.77 MHz processor a large amount of time. 128 KB of RAM, baby - we had the upgrade sidecar. 360KB floppy disk! 16 color CGA graphics, but since few games were programmed with that in mind, it was really four color!

I would, too, but I have to admit it’s pretty impressive what a phone can do these days. That kind of processing power just hanging out in our pockets. It would have taken my first PC years to do that.

Had me in the first half…

I thought he was a no-talent ass-clown!

Those weeks were a lot more stressful, and longer than a week, when I used Slackware and started installing stuff that wasn’t packaged for Slackware. I would dread new software. It was the Unifi controller that finally put me over the edge: I wasn’t even willing to give it a shot. I ran the controller on my Kubuntu desktop for a few weeks until I switched the server to Debian.

It felt like a house of cards. Nudge one of those cards by, say, updating a library, and you could easily break something else.

“If you want to know how Linux works, ask a Slackware user,” is the old saying. It’s true…we had to know, because we didn’t have a choice not to know.

The Republicans in Congress could stop all of this at any time. They choose not to. They support it, even if they say otherwise.

Trump will be Trump, but we need to direct our anger at the rest of his party as well, for not holding him accountable. I hope enough people realize this in November.

Lol mugs.

This must be my wife’s mug.

I’ve gotten pretty good at cleaning them.

The Wii Fit game (I forget the actual name) let you enter your pets and track their weight. Then they’d sometimes show up and run beside you while you were running or cycling around the island. It was a great touch.

I can’t fire it up to look. Our tabby that passed away in 2020 is probably still on there, as is our gray and white cat, who is not doing well - we’re at the “keeping him comfortable” stage. (He’s okay for now, he’s still a happy cat, but he probably only has a few months left.)

How often do rowing teams actually end up in the water? It’s pretty rare, I think.

I assume so, yes. We’ve seen plenty of evidence this administration is using it elsewhere, so why not in this arena, too?

What’s the good word, mate?

How did they not disqualify her once there was shit running down her legs?

From what I read elsewhere, it sounded like a situation the officials were simply unprepared to deal with, and there was nothing in the rules about it. Just not something that has happened before or had been thought of as a possibility. I have the impression this is a newer sport, not something that has been around for decades or even centuries, like running.
