  • Understand and operate any arbitrary interface without having to have it explained to me by rote

    Omg, this all the way. I'm in a class for learning AWS stuff and its crazy the amount of people who suddenly can't do anything when one button is on a different screen than the instructions told them it was. Like come on, use some basic thinking skills.

    Another infuriating situation was having to do a class on Microsoft Office. It was infuriating because it was incredibly basic stuff. I've never used Outlook before, but I completed each task they asked of me in like 5 seconds because I have a basic understanding of how software works.

  • Remember a fairly broad swath of special character altcodes

    I use the compose key. When you message with me, you are sure to receive proper dashes and real ellipsis.

    Well, unless I happen to be using my phone or another computer at the time.

  • I made her network two computers

    How did she do it? Just plug a crossover cable into both of them?

  • I really wish seamonkey still worked for modern websites. It's so cool.

  • Man, if only back when I killed those 5 pedestrians I would've said "the pedestrians hit me". Now I'm going to jail. Oh well

  • If only we had an HHS secretary able to educate us on these matters.

  • Is this sarcasm or not? I can't tell.

  • Could be worse, my grandma paid for Avast and she was actually using the free version unknowingly.

  • How th fuck did he managed to not have a C drive ???

    It happens. You should have just told him to go to the D: drive if its the only one

  • Why does she download so many duplicate functionality apps? Has she told you why?

  • but the hassle of pressing the water out is enough of a deterrent for me

    Get super firm, they are vacuum sealed and pre-pressed. You can skip the pressing step entirely.

  • Terry*

  • I too am afraid to attempt seitan. I got all the ingredients and now they sit doing nothing.

  • my bf wishes he could fuck me as hard as the US Government does

    Brand new sentence

  • Lenovo be like

  • AirVPN

  • How is STUN relevant here?

    Edit: I see it can be used for hole punching. However, port forwarding directly is a much more elegant solution I feel

  • Basically, if you aren't port forwarded, you will get less peers. This is because you aren't allowing incoming traffic, so only other port forwarded peers can talk to you. If you are port forwarded, you get all the peers.

    With vpns that support port forwarding, you can set the port forwarded port on the VPN to the port in your bittorrent client and it will allow incoming traffic.
