I just tightened the brakes on my bike
  • Oil/siliconed various gears and moving parts. Bike feels brand new.

    Took less than 5 minutes. I really should do that more often.

    Anon takes the pink pill
  • I saw a giant shadow duck driving southbound I5 about 3 hours south of San Francisco. (30~ hours awake)

    Shame about the brain damage i guess.

    Just one more tweak
  • Right. Yeah I didn't engage my brain on the & initially as i thought it was just a typo. But that should work, seems others on the internet think the same.

    I like 'exec startx', but really if someone has physical access, unless you are doing a lot of other security, you can't be safe.

    Just one more tweak
  • If you switch to the VT with Ctrl-Alt-F1, and hit ctrl-z the process is suspended, but does not complete so it never gets to the exit.

    At least that is my suspicion. I'm going to try it when I'm in front of a machine.

    Anyone here use assembly?
  • Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

    My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

    AI layoffs
  • Could probably replace managers with AI, but being trained on most managers would mean it would be equally bad at its job.

    I think the most likely is for the artists jobs to go away as art doesn't have to be exact, but code does.

    Five movies that embrace absurdism
  • Sorry my pronunciation guide was unclear, she pronounced it "correctly" my "doh" being in the classical homer-simpson sound. Not much difference in god-oh vs. ga-doh, just slight emphasis shift. Good video, however, thanks.

    Five movies that embrace absurdism
  • I just about made my wife pee laughing at me.

    Me, reads post, feeling it speaking directly to me, but never having put absurdism direclty in front of me, despite my absolute die-hard adherence to it. "Waiting for Godot", huh wonder of the "Godot "(in my head pronounced go-dot) game engine.

    Ask wife, Have you ever read "Waiting for go-dot"...

    "You mean, waiting for gah-doh"

    "Oh-shit.."

    I'd heard of the play, with the correct pronunciation, but never put it together in my head.

    Anyway, I'm off to find more defined absurdism. Thanks for this so that I could get it out of the way with my wife and not in front of regular humans.

    One of my favorite lines in one of my favorite song.

  • No one was able to replicate the level of health complications from the movie. Apparently he was a raging alcoholic.

    Alcohol kills. McDonalds is just sorta bad.
