  • Notification whenever there's something in the mod queue of a board I moderate. At least I don't see any such notification when using Voyager.

    User migration between instances.

  • And the study was even proven wrong in the 17th century. A finite amount of monkeys already produced Shakespeare in a finite amount of time; it took roughly 55 million years.

    Source: Primates show up in the fossil records, dating to roughly 55mill years. And Shakespeare's complete works were most likely completed by William Shakespeare, a famous decendant of said primates.

  • Norwegian here, and there are some common mistakes I see in people not used to the climate.

    • When walking on ice, at least the very slippery kind, use short steps. It reduces the chance of slipping.
    • And if you do slip and begin to fall, take it like a champ and sit down gracefully. The most comedic sights are the ones flailing to try and stay uptight.
    • Buy a snow shovel.
    • There are many expensive things sold as ice and snow thawers, but these are usually just variations of salt and gravel. Whatever salt you can buy in bulk at the grocery store works just fine. And any sand/gravel that you can find in the summer will do.
    • When shoveling snow, clear a wider path than what you think you'll need. A narrow strip is hard to keep clear after a while of heavy snowfall.
    • If you have a car, make sure to have proper winter tires. If you do, you won't have to bother with snow chains.
    • Car batteries don't like the cold. Make sure yours can hold charge well. Overdoing it with AmpHours is also a bonus.
    • Get a scraper to remove ice from your windshield.
    • Wet feet become cold feet. Stay dry. Wool socks are amazing at keeping your feet both warm and dry.
  • Same. Podcasts are also great, and some are even made specially for this purpose, like Nothing Much Happens.

  • The 1989 Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam.

  • Tested it on linux mint, and it works just fine for me. 28G of RAM free, no swap in use.

    Using Firefox 132, mo plugins/add-ons. Fairly stock Mint install, freshly installed yesterday.

  • If my kids demanded to stay up past bedtime to watch election coverage, I'd be seriously worried

  • Nowadays it's the online account centric shite and all the privacy implications that come along with it. But even before that it was annoying to just trying to do the thing

    Doing the thing on linux: command that does the thingDoing the thing on windows: click here, click there, click some more, second tab, submenu, click advanced, type in the info, save, ok, "yes I'm sure", click ok, click apply, close 626254 windows, reboot

  • Highest to lowest. I edited it into the comment.

  • ...with blyatjack and hookers!

  • Interesting tidbit: from left to right, these are ordered by the efficiency of the oxygen transportation, highest to lowest.

    Blue blood may be cool, but red blood is better for you.

  • Whenever I show up to a "mobilization project" which involves lifting and mounting shipping containers of machinery and IT equipment onboard ships, I check whether the containers have had their grounding wires attached, as well as checking if the deck welds have been spray painted with protective coating.If not, I need to check if the cable runs are properly done, deck fiberoptics protected from crane operations, antenna mounted without obstructions, etc.

    Checking random coax cable connections whether they've gotten a proper dose of molycote inside is also a pretty good indicator, but the tech department has gotten really attentive in regards to that. The grounding wire is really the only brown M&M I have left on them.

  • It's hard to find more compact correctness than this comment right here.

  • I'll probably kidnap some women, put them in a hole, and give them daily supplies of food and skincare products. It puts the lotion in its skin, or else it gets the hose again.

  • Morning: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unifiedNoon: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unifiedAfternoon: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unifiedEvening: Check that it's still there and keeping my body unified. Sometimes I shower before bed.

    In other words: I don't really have one, and it seems to be working

  • It was mentioned on the Kill James Bond podcast; The James Bond character continuum.

    The reason why James Bond looks different over the years is because James Bond is a position and not a person. Multiple agents have held this position. When one is killed or captured, another agent takes over.

    So, where did the different agents end up?

    Well, JB by Sean Connery was imprisoned in the US for his many crimes, rape included.

    Lazenby quit after his wife was murdered.

    Roger Moore, I don't remember. Killed by Dolph Lundgren, probably.

    Timothy Dalton, don't remember.

    Pierce Brosnan was captured by North Korea.

    And here are the implications: Sean Connerys James Bond was imprisoned on Alcatraz, and his later life is depicted in the movie The Rock.

    Pierce Brosnan is still in an NK cell, deprived of any social contact, tortured, 99% PTSD by what little remains of his body weight. As a coping strategy he has escaped into a fantasy world of his own making. And from this we get the movie Mamma Mia.
