Sysadmins have no idea what they are doing, we're just one step ahead of the rest of you at googling stuff.

I reckon a C130 could use it actually. The US Navy landed one on a carrier, which is probably shorter then this runway.

Edit: yes, USS Nimitz is 1/3 the length of this runway. C130 could land and take-off there with no issues.

Tape a bunch of drinking straws to the back of a Tonka truck. That's basically what N Korea have done after all.

Not really, more like:

Poor guy claims to be able to afford nice things, waves a load of junk dragged from the local scrap yard in front of the local homeless guys claiming it is amazing.

Valid point, didn't think of that.

Sounds like you need a holiday.

Rent a log cabin with no cell service for 2 weeks and see what you feel like when you get back.

Kodi is what you are looking for.

Run it on Pi 4 or a NUC. We use Disney+ and Netflix on ours, although Prime video does not work (although it should, I just have not made any effort yet).

You have basically just described Kodi.

Look into "digital signage" panels.

Not cheap, but they are basically a 49"+ computer monitor that is rated for 24/7 usage.

Either your parents have serious problems or your mum is developing some form of illness. They need to see someone.

What do mean ?

Doesn't "touts directions" tell you everything you need to know? /s

We have a daily SUM which is supposed to last 15 minutes. It is usually over an hour, but work makes up at best 20 minutes. The rest is just us chatting.

We also have regular calls with other teams which follow a similar pattern.

It is easy to have "water-cooler" chats while working remotely.

Disclaimer: my wife has a chronic neck injury.

Car! We've had Renaults for years, but last time we went for a BMW and the difference is night and day. My wife had to do lots of stretching exercises just to go and buy bread. In the BMW she can happily drive 5-6 hours with no (extra) discomfort.

That 3D file system browser (I presume you're talking about Jurassic Park) was totally real.

It was a tech demo that SGI included with IRIX called "fsn". Ironically, at the time, many people criticised it for being unrealistic. There is an open source clone called "fsv".

For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called "taking primary".

If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.

Get a saddle with a cut out and go faster. More pressure on the pedals means less on you backside.

Strangely a saddle that appears more uncomfortable is usually more comfortable. All you want is to support you tail bones and nothing else. If it is applying pressure elsewhere, you will get discomfort.

Personally, I use Fizik saddles. They are not cheap, but they are amazing.

I know, but do TV shows to it?

I understand that it dynamic range is necessary and having none is terrible (look up "loudness wars" in the recording industry), but it seems TV shows are no longer mastered for a actual home consumption.

Back in the day, we would work on our nice studio monitors, switch to a pair of NS10s to make sure it would sound good on a cheap Hifi, but we would also make it sound good on something garbage. Sometimes (always in fact) this was to the detriment of how sound on good gear, but 99% of people use garbage.

No, rock band Bush.

When Bush were at the height of their success, I saw them in a little 300 person room. It was brilliant and we should appreciate Lemmy while it is in that state.

Until 6 months ago I had 2Mb/s (with a tailwind) DSL that had a consistent 10% packet loss.

I feel I have earned my 2Gb/s fibre!
