GTK is the better looking girl at the sock hop. QT's dress is a little ratty and she's still got that lazy eye.

QT has a certain "Ah that's good enough for now, I'll fix it later" feel to it, while GTK makes things that look done. It's such a shame they wasted all that potential making something as rectal puke as Gnome out of it.

I want him to do FreeCAD.

Some genius won't pay attention to the orientation of a christmas light display while he's putting them up, he'll go to plug them in, and they'll be the wrong way, so he'll want an "adapter."

I can't help it, I'm reminded of some educational Youtube thing, like I think Sci-Show or some similar, went to a museum to talk to an egyptologist for a lesson on reading hieroglyphs, and the example they used was a doorway to a pharaoh's tomb. It had the pharaoh's name in a cartouche, a motto/title "Bringer of stability and life" and a couple figures of gods. And it occurred to me it read exactly like a breakfast cereal box.

Ramses The 7th, bringer of stability and life. Osiris tested, Horus approved. Part of this complete dynasty.

Fun prank: Do this around the 7 foot mark of the tape measure, then sell it at a thrift store.

"Full stack"

Mint has the advantage where a lot of instructions are written with Debian or Ubuntu in mind, and thus it practically always works with Mint.

I'm old enough to remember Outlook Express.

They learn this shit at college, don't they?

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"...hehe. hehehe."

Or you could buy a Skyhawk, three Toyota Camrys and fuel for a year.

Here is the federal Energy Information Administration's website stating the federal tax on gasoline is 18.3 cents per gallon. On top of that, states will add taxes on top. My state of North Carolina currently has a 40.65 cent per gallon tax on gasoline. Which works out to be 58.95 cents per gallon in tax.

Magnificoooooooooooo

oooooooooooooooooooooo

From an old edition of the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge:

An airplane's tire will hydroplane at a speed in knots equal to 9 times the square root of the tire pressure in PSI. So if your tires are inflated to 36 PSI, sq.rt 36 = 6 * 9 = 54 knots. If there is standing water on the runway, you will have no braking authority or steering control from the wheels, you will have to maintain control of the aircraft with the flight controls, and you cannot rely on short field stopping figures from the POH if it requires applying brakes above 54 knots.

I got that out of the 2003 edition; I don't know if it's in the current issue.

There was kind of a retro thing at the time; bell bottoms came back for girls, carpenter jeans were in for boys...his shoes and her socks would have been out of style in '06 but other than that yeah.

9/10ths of a cent. It's part of the tax.

Ask Randall Monroe.

Hobby: Video gaming.

Try to determine what kind of video game a movie character is playing by what they're doing to the controller.

Yeah, at maximum Feloneigh spelling.

The only other package even remotely compatible with Linux is OnShape and their licensing terms are a non-starter. Frankly so are AutoDesk's.
