With some pens, you can jam the spring between the button and the silver thing on the bottom right and the white thing next to it. Then jam it into the top of the pen with the ink stick until it sticks.

Then press the button on the top of the pen and the white thing shoots across the room.

Rsync will compare the contents of the source directory with the target directory. If it finds a match, it won’t copy the files, if there’s no match, it copies.

If your goal is to have 1:1 copies, you can use the --delete flag to remove extraneous files in the target directory that aren’t in the source directory.

If you use the -a flag, it’ll maintain all of your permissions.

You can literally rsync a linux installation from one machine to another. While the source machine is running. Pretty nuts.

Maybe the first 20 seconds after they’re cooked

Yup.

Also I once scored a 3 out of 200 on a final exam and failed the fuck out of a class.

Don’t worry. People like my parents will blame poor people for accepting loans that they can’t pay.

But the j-“ism” creates us. It’s a cycle.

Nah, I think he’d go full Lawnmower Man.

My personal rule is female adjective is okay, female noun is not.

I’m guessing it’s a kitchen implement for stripping fat from some cut of meat or something.

I got an external ORICO USB hard drive dock and two 3.5" hard drive cases (also by Orico). Every month or so, I plug them in and rsync files over. I’m lucky that one specific folder is about the size of one drive, so I just manually split them. There’s probably a better way to do that if you don’t have an obvious split.

Then the 3.5" drives in their colorful cases go into a fireproof safe in the basement. I also added another pair for semiannual backups that go to my inlaws.

a loan for a used car sounds wild to me.

Predatory car loans has entered the chat.

I don’t know about Carvana, but plenty of scummy dealers will give insane rates to people with no credit check, repo the car while they’re still underwater on the loan, and sell it to someone else. You can have two or three people paying off the same car.

Oh, also, they somehow encourage the most gullible people who can’t afford their loans to just let the car get reposessed instead of attempting to sell it back to the dealer.

I bet this person would struggle to put into words what exactly it is he wants to have coming.

Donkey Kong sucks!

If you watch it, there’s an air of excitement and surprise given off by the person on screen that comes across even though their voice is heavily masked. Makes me think the dude was jacked to the tits when they finally saw it working.

It’s melting point is 85F, but I’ve found it difficult to melt with body heat. Haven’t played with it out of the vial yet though. Maybe it’ll be easier when it’s thinner.

That’s a shit prank, and people like your nan don’t understand how pranks work.

A good prank should allow the subject to join in the fun. Some stuff came up this year, so my plans have to be delayed until next year, but I bought a vial of gallium that I’m planning on molding with a cast of one of our kitchen spoons.

So my wife will wake up and see that her coffee melted her spoon. Little miraculous and inexplicable moment in the morning.

(Gallium is non-toxic)

I think talking about it as a data throughput issue is a good take.

Like, I can ask siri to set a calendar event faster than I can scroll through calendar pages and type a description, but flicking a lightswitch will always be faster than asking a computer to.

Yeah, no issue there.
