When I was a kid, I had a series of rodents, including rats. I always thought it was really cool how my rats, when walking along a tenuous surface, would wrap (or attempt to wrap) their tails around the object (usually my arm) to provide themselves security from falling.
I don’t know if possums do the same, I’ve never encountered one, but your “amazing creatures” interjection reminded me of that.
edit: Correct a word.
I still remember looking up alt codes on the character map.
I haven’t had to represent degrees in decades, but for some reason I remembered the code being 0961. According to this page it was 0176. What a classic blunder!
Somewhat frequently, I drive by a nearby house with a wide window clearly visible from the road. Almost every time I drive by it, there’s a dog very similar to this one in the window. It’s not a bay window, which makes me think the dog’s owner(s) must have put a table right in front of the window specifically for the dog to be able to lay there and watch life go by.
I think that’s very sweet.
“Fresh” might be a stretch.
My advisor liked to joke that I was cursed.
It didn’t have quite the same level of personal impact, but I used to associate with a geologist who said something similar about me and geodes.
If it genuinely helped, I’m genuinely happy to have done so.
My shower door hasn’t shattered, but it has its own problems - I’m pretty sure the previous owner of the house tried to make it luxurious but had no idea what he was doing (as is tradition). Hoping I can learn some things about glass shower panes myself!
Excellent!
While this isn’t about shower panes and the specific details probably don’t apply to your shower (well, hopefully), NileRed has a video demonstrating how glass that looks undamaged can have small stresses or flaws that cause it to spontaneously shatter.
Every time I see a post with this caption, the environment largely looks fine, but there are consistently two issues:
A little passive-aggressive of you
That’s a fair interpretation, but in fact I was trying to avoid the appearance of passive aggression by providing a reason for my exiting the conversation, rather than just bailing.
Ah. Well, I have questions or comments I could make about the license. However, while I feel passionately about Unix and Linux and OSS in general, I don’t think I have anything useful or interesting to add to the thread that hasn’t already been said.
I wish you luck both with finding engaging conversation and with your licensing.
I kind of suspected it might be something like that, but it was a genuine query that, yes, was intended to be mildly humorous. I don’t intentionally annoy except maybe my wife.
Your indirect accusation made me smirk, but as far as I’ve noticed you’re the only one who does this without doing it on every comment, which seemed interesting enough to observe.
Does the lack of licensing in this comment mean it’s okay to steal?
Some examples of very enjoyable related media that are not Don’t Look Up include The Last Policeman book trilogy and the Netflix animated series Carol & the End of the World.
(There’s nothing wrong with Don’t Look Up, but it’s the only recommendation I ever see.)
I think I’m a cloud engineer, so I can’t use the same reasoning as you; but when I started at my company, I was given the option of either a Linux laptop with root or a Mac laptop. Obviously I selected Linux, but about a year later they started retiring all Linux laptops. The reason for this, I was told, is because the IT department didn’t know how to manage Linux laptops but they were familiar with Jamf. They did let us keep root on them, though.
I still miss using that laptop for work. The good news is, since they never implemented mandatory RTO policies, the company moved to a much smaller office. In doing so, they needed to reduce inventory, so they gave away the old laptops (sans drives) to their employees. I now own the same laptop (or a very similar one)!
Mortal Kombat for me also, but 3, on the Sega. BADLADCRUD
It was almost a poop joke and I was young, don’t blame me. I don’t even really remember what it did. Maybe unlocked Noob Saibot?
… g?
