Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.

Sounds like a win to me. If making the list gives you motivation, this might help overcome the initial inertia.

Isn’t that also the shorter route, because you’re circling the Earth where it has less circumference?

Also the North Atlantic Tracks are there. Might also play a role.

Judging by eye on the map projection OpenStreetMap uses, the direct line between Japan and Hawaii is about one quarter of the westbound straight line between Japan and Hawaii.

If you really do want to do something, but can’t get your limbs to move, try making a list. Crossing things off that helps providing motivation.

Well, I just typed “1 gallon in liters” into google and took the first number, because I couldn’t be bothered to deal with your system of measurement more than necessary. My point stands regardless of the exact volume of one gallon.

OF COURSE THERE IS MORE THAN ONE DEFINITION OF GALLON

Imagine getting Diesel in Germany. “Sorry, that was actually 15 liters of regular gas. ¯(ツ)_/¯”

Edit: Ok, it’s not as bad as I imagined, since this picture seems to be about E15/E10, not diesel/regular.

How fucking big are American canisters? In Germany the regular size is 5l, [Edit: just shy of a bit more than] one gallon.

oil and cyanide were among the 371m lb of pollutants

Why does a food producer even have these things?

Funny that they managed to spell “don’t” and “couldn’t” correctly.

That’s why I’m sticking to Windows at work even though I hate it. I couldn’t stand the glares of the others when I fail to fix even a noob distro.

can write 260 w/p on his own machine, will not find the escape key on any other

I swear, when I need to touch other people’s computers, I can’t get them to believe me that I program for a living.

Every driver you could possibly need for any hardware in the last 20 years? This is a live CD and is expected to just work no matter what you’re running it on.

Edit: Also, of course, every program you might need to usefully test-drive a distro, like office apps, media players, image viewers, browser, email client, and a myriad more. Now that I’ve said it I find 6GB remarkably small.

I’m not sure… ants walk really far. Think of how long it takes us to get human children to the point where they can count to 1000. Do ants just hatch with a sense of numbers?

The website is quite tight-lipped regarding features. What’s a ‘smart playlist’?

Blasphemy! He seized the opportunity to teach us something! Stone him!!!

Could someone enlighten me what Deus Ex is about without spoiling more than two hours of gameplay?

Another succinct quote: “The brain learns during the breaks.” Repeating the same thing uninterrupted in order to learn it won’t help.

NY–LA via Amtrak: $291. Greyhound, a bus company: $139

Why not both? Companies that peel bananas and wrap them in plastic for sale are garbage companies. And people who buy them are garbage people.
