Yep, this sums up everyone I know over 60 that is descended from British -immigrants- sorry expats.

Actual British people coming over now that still sound British seem to have much more refined taste. BIR-style curries are indeed very popular vs bland British "stew" / casserole

It's true, the "biscuits and gravy" biscuits are closer to scones than what a Brit would think of as a biscuit.

Also, biscuits and gravy, wtf

I'm not even American but lol at calling triple distilled Irish whiskey less bland than bourbon.

Irish whiskey is like the lager of whiskeys, about as bland as it gets

If you can't demonstrate an attack they will assume the issue isn't exploitable.

Absolutely. Theory doesn't always equal reality. The security guys submitting CVE's to pad their resumes should absolutely be required to submit a working exploit. If they can't then they're just making needless noise

Crap like this is why I went back to sailing the 7 seas

Don't avoid JVMs for "security" reasons, the security industry will raise CVE's against anything they think will look good on their CV.

Avoid JVM's because they are synonymous with overengineered, bloated, overly verbose code with crazy memory requirements for what they deliver

They have played us for absolute fools

First step to get a usable machine: disable SELinux

The dumbest clients are made for Windows. They probably all either have a nephew directly or know someone with a nephew who can be bugged with every computer question.

Switching them to Linux makes you the nephew that gets bugged with every computer question.

Why would you do this to yourself?

Grave of the fireflies is hands down the saddest movie I've ever seen.

I bawled my eyes out

Haha awesome. Im surprised they didn't come flying off on the highway

It's a great example of the English appropriating another cultures cuisine because theirs is, well, a bit shit.

Things like this is why America fascinates me.

Here's another example of a fascinating "only in America" car mod I found in LA

If it was different, I just played with no sound. 6 year old me hadn't actually grasped how expansion cards for x86 microcontrollers were implemented

Sound blaster compatible, irq5, dma1

The magic config to make sound work in DOS games

Fuckin' A, its why I run as root and get annoyed when some programs refuse to run as root for "security" reasons

Lots of places have SRE now, thanks to Google. Like I said, google thing leaked to mainstream

Oh, I don't care about Windows that much to bother googling things like that.

It lives in a VM so I can run CAD software like LayOut which I use very infrequently.

I've also got a windows partition lying around that gets booted into once per year incase I go to a LAN party, but Steam / Proton has really come a long way so I can probably drop that soon

It's like it's "expats" when UK citizens enter your country and "immigrants" if anyone else does

It's why horses are measured by hands
