MNByChoice,

Debian stable is at 12.

MNByChoice,

You know, I am glad you thought to check.

MNByChoice,

I think nostalgia carried the movie.

MNByChoice,

If one were alive during the things that Forrest Gump experiences during the movie. Then seeing those things in a movie with Tom Hanks could cause feelings of nostalgia.

MNByChoice,

Point of Clarification. Are you calling Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer a dictator, or referring to an earlier point in time?

MNByChoice, (edited )

Fuck, I like it. Is it for sale, or is someone making more?

Edit: I mean on a car that looks classic, but is not as there are few classic cards.

MNByChoice,

Time travel is it’s own reward. We can study Ancient Rome or anything. Space probes sent to the extreme past would be very useful.

I do not expect “kill Hitler” or “fix my love life” to be the driving force in the multi billion dollar effort for time travel.

MNByChoice,

why kill anyone? Why not go back to their childhood and teach them to be better humans?

I think this is wonderful logic for a great many situations with a vastly overpowered being. With enough power and patience, all problems can be solved peacefully.

MNByChoice,

We won’t unless they screw up.

Is our detection of them important? It is disappointing to not have obvious time travelers.

What would one anticipate a time traveler to do in the current time?

MNByChoice,

The old creepy town cult. Love it!

Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....

MNByChoice,

Also consider rubber feet.

MNByChoice,

Treating Future Me the way Present Me wishes Past Me would have treated Present Me, has really helped Present Me be kinder to others.

MNByChoice,

Yup. The store has more.

MNByChoice,

This is why fires in fireplaces pose no threat.

MNByChoice,

The CLI was there first. GUIs are still catching up.

MNByChoice,

They had an amazing ability to fall asleep almost instantly so I imagine that made it much easier.

Sleep deprivation will do that.

MNByChoice,

I know nothing of fighting crime. I expect it is long periods of boredom, with short and intense action. At some point, except at the conclusion of something, crime is nearly nothing at 4 AM. Sleep to noon, then get going. Alfred and any assistants can have decisions lined up for him.

I bet he does not cook, do laundry, or clean.

Not too ick someone’s yum, and this ventures outside of Linux.

I dislike the BSDs. Great for getting pf, and not being a homogeneous shop, but just different enough to be difficult outside of one specific use case.

Gentoo was similar. It may be different now, but a pain on the Xbox.

Mint was too dumbed down and ugly.

Ubuntu is useful, but likely harmful with it’s constant pushes to commercialize everything.

Redhat is needed for work, but the commercialization drives worse quality. Documentation seems purposely bad to drive training courses.

(Yes, I like Debian.)

MNByChoice,

Very true! I love thinking about ancient greeks complaining about “kids these days.”

I have never read them except out of Boredom

Fun Fact: this has always been true. That and avoiding the children. In the days of outhouses, sitting on the toilet for hours was not great. So they read newspapers.

Edit: I was more being funny about wasting time in the bathroom too avoid child responsibility. People have often needed long times to make things work. The person that responded to me had some great points.

MNByChoice,

You are right. Thank you

MNByChoice,

Yeah. I had presumed the sonar was just annoying, not body destroying.

This package of bagels I bought expired on a date that doesn't exist. (i.imgur.com)

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

MNByChoice,

Sorry, but are you certain that number is both a date and the day it expires?

It could instead be a cash register code (perhaps a specific combination of ingredients), or the employee number for who made it (because Janet keeps fucking up, and Darma is sick of being blamed.)

MNByChoice,

I always assumed it was a comparison between the West and the USSR. One could swap the populations and few would notice. It was a culture and leadership thing.

In Next Gen the USSR was gone, so they no longer needed that angle.

This is all assumption though.

MNByChoice,

I like it. It is a bit heavy handed with the philosophy. I would love to see more.
