psud,

I guess if you’re in the perfect partnership you and your partner could simultaneously take the red pill :)

psud,

Skilled programmers can see that Linus is an expert. It works in tech. It probably works in any professional environment - anywhere where skilled people are picking someone highly skilled.

For the average person, we have clearly seen average people suck at picking expert leaders, though it works fine in small groups

psud,

Landlords should NOT exist.

There is the Georgism position where rent is discouraged with tax which is set to share out society’s share of the value of limited natural resources

It’s hard to run a civilisation without landlords, since some people are not in a position to buy land and need to borrow it.

psud,

Transit ideally should be partly funded in the reduced road cost. Less so for buses, but imaging you linked exurbs and outer suburbs to the city by rail and a simple one lane each way road, instead of a five lane each way highway

psud,

If it’s a shit business, they should get out of it, and sell the property

psud,

Then deny location access

psud,

I give a few apps background location access, and for a couple of weeks after enabling each android would occasionally ask if the app still needs background data

psud,

Pixel 6 on current version

psud,

The first one is MASH

psud,

Gen x got MASH reruns and internalised the theme song “suicide is painless”

When was the mad cow prion problem in UK beef?

In the United Kingdom, from 1986 to 2015, more than 184,000 cattle were diagnosed with the peak of new cases occurring in 1993.

From en.wikipedia.org/…/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopat…

I don’t know if that affected Ireland, or whether Ireland was importing British beef, but I don’t think I’d eat that even if it smelled good, and I wouldn’t give it to my dog either

psud,

It’s about everything. Computers, phones, the computer that makes your car work. Every bit of electronics that boots - that probably includes your smoke detector and oven

psud,

All of it. Computers, phones, cable modems, cameras cars.

We need it to be open, especially for networked equipment so we can keep it secure and running after the manufacturer stops supporting it.

psud,

Not until the diabetes kicks in

psud,

I reckon Voyager was the best of the star treks

psud,

I and my wife have both watched all of Star Trek individually before we met. When new trek appeared we rewatched everything before watching all of new trek, good and less good, together

psud,

False awakenings are nuts

psud,

Digital watches and clocks also don’t work, they show garbage

psud,

Beyond the supernatural (role-playing game) Behind the scenes

psud,

I grew a bushy beard over 2020, then when masks were recommended I shaved to a moustache

My wife wanted the beard back “sorry hon, that stops the mask working”

Now 2024, still mo. I like it

psud,

That was my dad in the Navy in the '60s. The rules were you could have facial hair, but if you wanted to go from clean shaven to facial hair you needed permission and you had two weeks to grow it - if it wasn’t good enough you had to shave.

He couldn’t grow a beard in a fortnight. I can’t grow a beard in a fortnight.

So he applied right before going on leave so he would have 4 weeks of leave + 2 weeks to grow the beard, which was sufficient

psud,

If I grow a beard, and wish to satisfy my wife’s preferences, my only choice is a wild beard

psud,

5 o’clock shadow? Try 3 o’clock stubble. Right after shaving there’s shadow when your beard is black.

Fred Flintstone style

psud,

I wonder how much he laughed when Mac went Unix

psud,

As Unix is pushed to do more and more, it instead becomes less and less

That’s a pretty good pun of it was deliberate
