I wish they'd put the number of standard drinks on the can. Having to calculate it for a 500ml 6% drink or a 150ml 8% or whatever gets tedious.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods.. more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

I put it in the "teddy bear" category. If we see people with a teddy bear at the carnival, we'll try the games

Spam us with getrich quick schemes and we fall in line..

Wow!

That is not a fast process. Plus solar insolation won't change. It won't make up for the losses in the USA.

It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?

So, they ignore Canada and refuse to support the people there. Greaaat.

I'm okay with it as long as it's not locked to the exclusive use of one entity.

Reminds me of a scene in Heinlein's Starship Troopers where they explain the need for mobile infantry. All thr bombs in the world won't let you hold the territory. For that you need the infantry, and always will. If I recall right.

So I'd say he missed the very fundamental point there that robots cannot win a war alone.

Bíum bíum bambaló, Icelandic song. Lullaby.

Yeah. This is a plot point used in a few stories, eg Carl Sagan's "Contact"

The Long Dark. Something about wandering an icy wasteland scavenging, hunting, fishing, works for me.

They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they'd probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there's a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.

I heard Royal Canadian Air Farce guy imitating Preston Manning there. Refooooooorrrm.

I've sometimes thought we could adopt the Euro as a currency, though it would remove our ability to float the dollar to change export/import ratios.

F off, cleanshirt!

"Cake" in "let them eat cake" is "brioche". I had thought that cake meant cheap chemically leavened bread-ish, but it actually was an out of touch elite being genuinely confused about bread shortages, not someone callously suggesting the peasants eat shittier food.

Also it probably wasn't Marie Antoinette.
