  • Goebels filmed Jewish ghettos where they put water in cups with black ink in, to look like coffee, to "show" to the German people that the Jews were being taken care of very well in the ghettos (and later camps).

    Plus ça change....

  • Spud Life!

  • What if they're serving an eviction notice and it's no longer your home?

  • Honestly can't tell if you're trolling with this.

    Any job that would give you an advantage when applying for a new job (ie. Prior experience) is part of a career. For more formal careers like Medicine and Law they are an absolute necessity and often formally defined, for careers like Bartender, the requirements are more fluid, but experience (and particularly unbroken experience) is very important when applying for jobs.

  • There's a difference between Women harming their careers by having children, and not being able to a career other than SAHM because you aren't able to get a career job in the first place. Both are sexist, and while it would work to increase the birth rate to remove women's rights, it is morally reprehensible, and yes looks sternly at the US, we see what you are doing!

  • 🎶 Doctor, Doctor, say what you see, I've got a bad case of diabetes 🎶

  • Thank you that's good to know. I wasn't aware of any positive affiliation with it. I'll bear it in mind moving forward :)

  • Ah that's interesting, I had thought of it more negatively. It's not a common word where I am, so my knowledge has been gleaned from American media, mostly.

  • Would you mind explaining how chutzpah and hubris differ please? I'm not sure I get it.

  • I often felt from context it was closer to "hubris", as "cajones" might just mean brave.

  • The french used to use an explosive device called a "petard" (old french for a fart), that was used to breach doors. However these would sometimes blow back and kill the user rather than breach the door. This was the original intention for the Shakespearian phrase. One was Hoisted (old verb* not used anymore but essentially blown off their feet) by their own Petard (or door breaching bomb).

    More information is here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard

    *Unrelated to hoist as in to lift, despite similarities

  • Yes agree with this and categorise each into one set of broader goals, I suggest one is Programming, one could be Gaming etc. Then allocate time to each larger goal and order your sub "tickets" in there so you focus on one thing in a section at a time. For example, don't learn Python and Rust at the same time, focus on one or the other (I'd probably suggest Python first as Rust has a very steep learning curve), but you can easily spend some time a week learning Python and some time learning Factorio, without the two things working against each other.

    Edit: for Programming stuff the site Roadmap.sh (https://roadmap.sh/) is useful for giving you an opinionated task list. It's not for everyone, but if you just want to know where to start you could go a lot further wrong than that.

  • It might help in the future for trigger warnings as it's used in those quite often, at least. Every cloud...

  • Just a quick note for hosting a DB on a pi (or anything that uses SD cards for the OS), SD cards fail with some regularity, so I strongly suggest getting an NVMe board with a stick of SSD memory to store the actual files, because it's much more reliable long term for data integrity. SD cards support reading large amounts but writes wear them out more quickly.

    You can find great cases that come with the boards (but not the SSD, however that's very easy to find separately).

    For RPi 4 I have an Argon (NVMe board sold as accessory): https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-v2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4

    And fro RPi 5 I have a Pironman case (NVMe comes as part of the kit): https://www.sunfounder.com/products/pironman-5-nvme-m-2-ssd-pcie-mini-pc-case-for-raspberry-pi-5

    I recommend both of those but your use case may vary.

  • "hey baby why don't we head back to my dry dock"

  • When I was at school (UK) there was a German girl and a Swiss girl talking in German and one of them said "Scheiser" really loudly, the teacher turnes and glared at them and slowly they realised why and had to apologise to the teacher, as they hadn't really thought that while he couldn't understand, he still knew the swear words!

    Wasn't a big deal was just funny and everyone laughed (incl teacher), needless to say they were a bit more cautious after that.

  • Excellent analogy

    What are developers in different languages known as?
