Same, but I didn't before that. I think it depends on the airport.

Again: Reagan.

He fired pretty much all ATCs striking for a decent wage, and the industry never really recovered. Low wages result in low recruitment.

Who would've thunk that the speaker is not the root of the problem?

Factorio. Sure, it's universally hailed as a great game, but I still call that underrated. Yes, I'm a cracktorio addict, how could you tell?

You should try it. It's awesome, it'll change your outlook on things. This is totally peer pressure, but hey, it could be drugs or smoking.

I've been a BSD and linux user for 25 years now, and I can quit whenever I want to. I just don't want to.

Admittedly, my health has suffered from distro abuse; it landed me a well paying job, and I can now afford to eat bacon whenever I want to.

Linux is very picky when it comes to attached storage. Seeing as it's an external drive, especially when it comes to ntfs, something linux will usually refuse to automount if the filesystem is detected as not being clean. Clean in this context means that it was unmounted properly last time it was use.

When a filesystem is mounted, a flag is set. This flag is then unset upon a proper unmount. When you yank the drive without unmounting first, this flag will remain, and the filesystem will therefore be considered as unclean, and will require manual intervention. This is a feature that has the potential to prevent dataloss if there are worse things at play.

Try to plug in the drive and run dmesg - It might tell you if an unclean filesystem was detected, or any other issues.

An unclean filesystem is usually fixed by running fsck.

As much as I would love that, its use would be very limited without widespread adaption of software or hardware support.

I'm not a fan of kink-shaming, but that is objectively funny. I choose to believe he was also into balloon-bestiality by sometimes going squiggee-fnurp-scratch-tadaa and producing balloon animals as part of the foreplay

Of course they did. The house is 40% genocide enablers and 40% fascists. So 80% agreed on this motion.

Hi, Diane!

Former sound engineer here. Yes, that's the correct title, but no, that's not our doing (not mine at least). I want as many people as possible to reasonably be able to enjoy my output, regardless whether they have a 40000$ home cinema, or if they're on a cheap TV.

I know that some directors (Christopher Nolan) tend to want to produce "best" quality at the expense of those who don't care. See Tenet as an example.

Plus the dev-hours spent combating ad blockers are billable. My hours aren't.

Nothing radical, but I've used mplayer as default video player since FreeBSD 4.0, and that's not changing any time soon. VLC is good and all, I just prefer mplayer.

Oh, and for general purpose storage partitions I use XFS, as it plays nice with beegfs.

It's also nice for keeping those pesky scrags away. Can't do carpentry on the Castle of the Damned without

Yes, but the best ones obviously use gatling nail guns.

When I worked on a ship, we coordinated with the other 12-hour shift so both of us got 30 minutes of the offending hour.

Typing speed matters in programming the same way hammer hits per second matters when building a house. There's a little bit more to it.

Same. I'm sure python, rust, and all the others are better/cooler/vegan/whatever but perl is what I'm fluent in. More than once have I started to hack together something in python, only to scrap it and start over in perl because I can get it done so much faster. Trust me, my hourly cronjob doesn't care that it takes half a second more to run. And the UPS doesn't care that it takes 1mW more to run it. But I care a lot about not dicking around with documentation just to figure out what is pythonic and what isn't when a shitty perl oneliner will do just fine.

Maybe not the best of all time, but an incredibly underrated one: The 4400

May the force be with you
