Yeh, I'll concede that I'm shitty at typing on my phone. Fixed.

Bingo.

I used to work with internet on trains, and the system was relatively simple by today's standards. Not so much back then, but:

• One carriage had UMTS/LTE and CDMA modems and a router that load balanced between the uplinks. Usually in the restaurant carriage, because there would only be one per train. It also had a short range wireless link in each end for other carriages to connect.
• Each carriage that could potentially be in the same train had wireless clients in each end for connecting "upstream" towards the router.
• All carriages had a wifi radio

On other words, many potential points of failure. And sometimes we'd get tickets such as this sent our way: "Internet doesn't work"

• No info about which carriage
• No info about when
• No info about where
• No info about which train

I might as well go first: Basic troubleshooting and reasoning.

I mean, we're not talking debugging assembly language here. But at least you should be able to reply correctly to the question "is it dead or faulty?" when it comes to a computer. And when a your car has a weird noise, at least try to locate it for an obvious cause such as something rolling around under your seat.

EDIT: And one important aspect of troubleshooting many people don't get is how to narrow down the problem. Let's say your wifi isn't working - have you checked on any other device whether it's working there? Someone else mentioned binary search which has a lot of overlap with this.

The land before time for a colonoscopy.

Norway: 25 working days. And the pay is 12% of whatever you earned the previous year.

On top of that there are the public holidays. 2025 list, lazy copypasta:

1 Jan Wed New Year's Day
17 Apr Thu Maundy Thursday
18 Apr Fri Good Friday
20 Apr Sun Easter Sunday
21 Apr Mon Easter Monday
1 May Thu Labour Day
17 May Sat Constitution Day
29 May Thu Ascension Day
8 Jun Sun Whit Sunday
9 Jun Mon Whit Monday
25 Dec Thu Christmas Day
26 Dec Fri 2nd Day of Christmas

Yes, but it's really cumbersome to us foreigners.

Norway

Our royal family is mostly into sailing, I choose t9 believe that's why we don't have the same issue.

As a noggie, this resonates with me. My ideology is in line with nobody being more important from the Birthe lottery than anyone else. But my pragmatic side says that there are no pressing concerns that justify such a drastic change as abolishing the royal family.

They don't cost that much, our regent is alright, and his heir apparent is pretty alright too. Might as well keep them around as a unifying symbol and as primary diplomats.

Plus, I have to admit that I like the concept of a lhaving an apolitical person with veto powers, in case some shithead starts something silly. I just hope said veto powers are used if needed.

I'm intrigued. Which country?

As an aside, I was surprised to see that when I wrote chatgpt a sentence written in an obscure (mine) norwegian dialect, peppered with slang and nonstandard contractions, chatgpt actually understood me very well. It seems LLMs are really good at checking possible root words and their origins to infer meaning when it's not recognizing the word.

For example, I wrote "veitkji", which is a contractions of "veit ikkji", which is normally written "vet ikke". However, cgpt correctly interpreted it as "some scandinavian non-standard dialect for "don't know" "

The two main bots in my IRC bot network were named Man14 and Girl41

You give me too much credit. I got curious and started googling, lol.

Yes, that's pretty much the 2nd half of my comment.

Also, my understanding is that seroconversion kinetics is about how fast your body starts making antibodies, how strong the resp9nse is and how it changes over time.

To be fair, I think it holds true for any head of department of health (or whatever they're called) - that's a position that calls for organizational skills and not a medical doctorate. In the same way my project manager doesn't answer questions about clustered datastorage, that's what he has people like me for.
However, leading JFKJrs department also calls for common sense and skepticism towards conspiracy theories, two qualities he severely lacks. But at least he's right in that particular statement.

Unsolicited suggestion from my driving playlist: Icy Lust - Downtown Maglev

I always enjoyed driving to that one with good audio. The way it builds up slowly is great for being on the road.

Mod notice: we're serious though.

Yup. They are part of "They", as in the ones who are hiding the truth from us.

Should come with an unopened box of prescribed ritalin, maybe?
