  • I've tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.

    If I'm remembering right, it's a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they've decided that my domain is in the "personal blog" category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling's website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.

  • I think they also did the opening and closing for Call of the Night, but of which are also great.

  • pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn't blocked on the work network while my private domain is.

    And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn't an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.

  • Also, related to proper use of turn signals, you should signal well in advance of your turn. The rule of thumb I learned was your signal should be on for three seconds of before you turn, assuming you're currently in motion. Additionally, you should actually use your turn signal. Far too many people seem to be scared of the blinken lights. There is no reason not to use your turn signal.

    • Changing lanes? Signal.
    • Turning from a turn-only lane? Signal.
    • Backing out of your drive-way? Signal.
    • Pulling out of a parking spot? Signal.
    • Moving the steering-wheel for any reason other than continuing to follow the curvature of your lane? Signal.
    • Driving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where you are confirmed to be the sole living thing left on the planet and doing any of the above? Signal.

    If you're turning and think you have a reason not to use your turn signal, you're wrong. Fucking Signal.

  • Do you like shrimp? Lobster? Crab? You'll probably like bugs.

    Needless to say, I will continue to feast upon the arthropods.

  • Ah, for some reason that YouTube link didn't show as a link in the browser earlier.

    So, I only saw your spoilered link.

  • Gloria Gaynor is the singer of the song "I Will Survive," the opening lyrics of which are being referenced by the comic.

  • Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?

    Is saying "I wrote code in assembler" not functionally equivalent to saying "I wrote code in GCC?"

    Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.

  • More importantly what would a dead salmon know about people?

  • You Spock/McCoy fanfic doesn't count.

    It came after ENT.

  • "IiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiIIII'm hooked on a feelin' I'm high on believin' That you're in love with me."

    is the only song stuck in my head now.

  • If you're gonna boof booze stick to beer or maybe wine. The only hard stuff you should permit near your butt hole is a penis (or simulacra thereof).

    Vodka burns. A lot. Don't put vodka in your butt hole.

  • If the tools on display in the article are anything to go by, there is a distinct possibility they just got up their own ass.

  • Ah yes, the infamous "stinky cheese" email virus. Who knew zip bombs could be so destructive. It erased all of the easter eggs off of my DVDs.

  • Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.

    If I'm likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.

    Otherwise, I ain't no snitch and even if I were I don't know anything about nothing.

  • I'm far from an expert on the topic, but I've worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.

    Basically, it's any kind of military work that isn't affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.

    It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.

  • It looks to be an empty case, based on the lack of PSU and motherboard.

  • Boredom is the key to learning something it's just very likely that it won't be the thing school is trying to teach. Especially if the thing school is teaching is the thing boring you.

  • My job's unlikely to go anywhere unless I commit a heinous crime and I already live well below my means in terms of required expenses.

    I'm probably going to be fine, but just in case I intend to increase my cash savings and stock up a bit on nonperishable food and other required household goods.

    Other than that there's not a lot of prep I can do.
