Thorry84,

I really like Nicole, but I had a huge crush on Terry when DS9 first aired, so it’s hard to decide.

Thorry84,

Yes, you can actually break your penis and do permanent damage. Doctors warn not to do reverse cowgirl for example, a popular position in porn. If not done right the penis will break and you are going to have a bad time.

Thorry84,

Missed opportunity to put four lights on day five.

Keanu Reeves is born in 1964, which is generally considered the cut off point for boomers into gen X. Personally I don’t think the cutoff is as hard as that, people just before 1964 can still be raised as gen X and people born just after 1964 can be full on boomers. I like to think of the cutoff as plus minus 2 years.

In my book Keanu Reeves is gen X and not a boomer.

‘Amazing’: Queensland mum uses electric car to ‘save’ son’s life with dialysis during power outage (www.theguardian.com)

An electric vehicle owner has used her car’s emergency power system to run her 11-year-old son’s lifesaving dialysis machine and another has ridden to the rescue of his neighbours after devastating storms cut power in south-east Queensland....

Thorry84,

I have a gas powered car, it has a mains outlet in the back of the center console. As far as I know this isn’t anything special or new. My car is a 2016 Chevy nothing special.

Thorry84,

Holding your bat’leths like that won’t bring honor to your house!

I’m gonna start my own Christmas with Hookers and Blow

Thorry84,

Yes the compiler/interpreter can figure it out on the fly, that’s what we mean by untyped languages. And as stated both have their merits and their faults.

Elon doesn’t know what the words mean and just chimes in with his AI future BS.

I actually unsubscribed from him about a year ago because his content became unwatchable. I was subscribed for a long time, I really like the dude and he does great stuff. Where he went wrong for me is pursuing a more aggressive release schedule, pushing out a lot of videos. This lead to the content being a bit lacking at times. Still good topics and perfectly produced, but really not very much info or depth.

He seemed to also be pushed to a certain video length, which led to a lot of filler. And by a lot I mean more than half of the video was filler. Maybe great for people with short attention spans, but repeating the same thing in slightly different wording 3+ times becomes annoying really fast. He was also not good at filler, using pretty much the same script and wording in each video. There is something to be said for style, but if I can predict 80% of the video word for word in advance, it loses incentive to watch.

Now I don’t blame him, he is just following the algorithm which is his job as a content creator. And some of the videos are really cool, especially on the rare occasion he does a bit of a deeper dive. And the dude knows his stuff, you just know he wants to tell more about some subjects, but doesn’t because it doesn’t fit in his video format and the audience he is targeting.

For me, I would put MVG in the used to be great, now is mediocre category.

Thorry84,

Sure let me go tell Microsoft

Thorry84,

Where I work you only pass the test if you report it to IT, otherwise it’s 3 hours of training with the rest of the idiots.

Thorry84, (edited )

The IT people send out the phishing mail themselves as part of a test. It isn’t an actual phishing mail, just something made to look and act like one. In the end they have a report which people fell for it, which ignored it (or were ooo) and which reported it.

Reporting is done via the report phishing feature in Outlook. For consumers it’s sent to Microsoft, but for businesses you can configure those reports to do what you want. It’s actually a really good feature and people should always use it.

Thorry84, (edited )

They don’t tell us they are testing, it’s done at random. Reporting is policy, it needs to be done with every phishing mail that gets past the filters. It’s one of the big ways a company is vulnerable, an employee clicks on a link in a mail, opens something they shouldn’t and before you know it there’s been a databreach. I don’t think they are especially worried about the employee leaking his personal info, they are worried about targeted attacks and corporate espionage.

I’m sure there are a lot of false positives. Even though I work in a technical company, we have plenty of people who aren’t as handy with tech. People get training regularly and if one person reports a lot of useless I’m sure they will train that person extra. I think for a lot of people except maybe sales something like 80% of all mail is internal. And the other part is probably 50% repeating automated mails. So the number of mails that could even be phishing are limited. It’s a mid sized company with about 1000 employees.

Thorry84,

I’ve seen my cat once eat a pretty big mouse in my backyard in one big gulp. A cat could eat one of those chickens like the nuggets they will be someday.

My First Regular Expressions

I’ve been reading Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl, and since nobody in my life (aside from my wife) cares, I thought I’d share something I’m pretty proud of. My first set of regular expressions, that I wrote myself to manipulate the text I’m working with....

Thorry84, (edited )

I can also recommend the book the TS mentioned, it is very good and after reading it you will understand regular expressions. It’s fine to use a cheat sheet if you want, cause if you don’t do it regularly the knowledge can sag, but the understanding is what matters. Also depending on the context, different implementations can have slightly different syntax or modifiers to be aware of.

I lent out the book to my brother once and he somehow lost it, so I never got it back. Don’t lend out book guys.

And remember not everything can be solved using a regular expression: xkcd.com/1171/

I think he’s born with it

Hello, my name is Hollywood. It has come to my attention you at one point liked this thing. For your entertainment I have shit all over this thing and would request you consume it.

Shoves shit down your throat - I SAID FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!

Thorry84,

Why is the detective wearing a high vis vest?

Thorry84,

Not to defend Fahrenheit, it’s a nonsense scale, however: As with most subjective scales the entire scale can be split into good and not good. The top part is good and the bottom part is not good. The middle of the top part is seen as average good.

So around 75 degrees would be perfect, which is close enough for something as subjective as temperature.

This is why in things like movie or game reviews a 7/10 is seen as average. Like it’s good, in the good part, but right in the middle not anything special. A 5/10 or lower is seen as not good, not worth seeing, not worth your time etc. This works for reviews, grades, person attractiveness rating etc.

Thorry84,

Are you saying global warming is actually caused by the bias of IGN reviewers?
