@TheBreadmonkey @jackeric I last watched it in 1999 (I know this because our secondary biology teacher got talked into showing it as the end of term film, she pressed play and then left, saying “I’m not watching it”). It still haunts me now.
@solderandchaos another vote for GitHub pages here, it can be a bit of a faff to set up (although they have decent guides) but once you’ve done that you can largely forget about it.
I’d like to have words with whoever thought YAML was a reasonable programming language. This thought brought to you by a generated password containing a colon causing my Salt run to explode due to a YAML parse error.
Turns out autopilot approaches don’t work at some airports in Flight Sim 2020. That would have been fine if not for the thick rain clouds between me and the airport, I took several attempts at it, then diverted to an airport where I could see the ground.
I’d be annoyed by it but that was some of the tensest Flight Sim I’ve done and fantastic fun dealing with it.
You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?
@herdingdata that particular failure mode has killed so many potential hobbies for me. It’s compounded by my tendency to watch a ton of videos on how professionals do it, only to realise I am not, in fact, a professional.
If any of you Linux users out there are getting bored, you may want to try one of the BSDs. BSD of course stands for Berkeley Software Distribution and all the information you need on running BSD can be found in the Berkeley Distribution Software Manuals, or BDSM for short. So Google BDSM to get started.
@q it’s like Scrabble, a blank destination board is valid for any destination.
@realgamingleaks [next week] “We’ve replaced the PlayStation 6 controller with a mobile app, you’ll love it!”
@anon_opin I was part of an agency team who pitched this to Nissan in 2010. Sadly it never went anywhere.
The YouTube meta continues to baffle me as the boy watches a video of a person watching a video of a person watching a video.
This video has made my day, please enjoy: https://youtu.be/C4BGlbNKNRM?si=4ZPM4UXjAandpLTm
@anon_opin there’s definitely been more than one mid-way Hitler tache. At that point you shave it all off and accept looking like a baby for a few days.
+1 email. The entire order has not yet been delivered, I’ve got another delivery the Monday after next.
There’s less communication involved in landing an airliner than I’m getting about the delivery of a microwave and a toaster.
So far I’ve received seven separate emails and a phone call about my Curry’s order placed yesterday, fully expect a barrage insisting I review the product, the delivery driver, and Curry’s in general as well.
@gsuberland I’ve owned computers was less hard disk space than that.
Shout out to the Curry’s warranty sales person who hung up the moment the words “no thanks” came out of my mouth. Neither of us wanted to be on that call, and you respected that.
