That image is 100% the academic quadrangle at Simon Fraser University. Hah.

I half expected this to end with jumper cables. Quite a ride, though.

Just a small nit, I would say ‘much’ cheaper or ‘dramatically’ cheaper. Exponential refers to rate od change, not magnitude of change. Something increasing by 10% a year is exponentially increasing, something that’s just gotten bigger could be increasing linearly or not at all.

It’s pretty heartwarming seeing all his friends come together to help him get his shot. Dude is obviously terrified and struggling. Bravery is more about facing your fear than it is about objective danger.

I do love it when you can justify using a different homophone than the etymologically correct one.

“eggcorns”. You can really do some fun ones. For all intensive purposes, they’re pretty much equivalent.

Good luck getting them to swear fealty to HM the King of Canada.

This wouldn’t be them joining Canada, it would be New California and friends.

The book was a comedy as well. Tons of great dry jokes. The two are not mutually exclusive.

For clarity I use semi for 2x a period and bi for every two periods. I think everyone should. :)

I make sourdough bread biweekly-ish. Freezing it (after it’s had a 24-36 hour curing period) is fine. Toasts right back up.

Swearing an oath “in vain” is not allowed. Ie, don’t swear in the holy name and then go back on your word. As I understand it. That would be the mortal sin.

Hey, keep it up. Getting mad about your imagined version of stuff before it even happens is pretty much peak internet.

The important thing is that you can stay mad at any amount of good news. Sometimes you might have to work hard at it, but I believe that you can, in the brightest light, find a dark shadow to be pissy about.

Good job. /s

34k? Jesus. They could double that and it might be in a reasonable ballpark for support positions.

[Opens lemmy the 20th time today] Ahhhhhhhhhhh, that’s the stuff. I was entirely too productive!

“If nothing much happens, I’m thankful. A happier cabbage you never did see, My vegetable spirits are soaring. If you’re after excitement, steer well clear of me. I want to go on being boring.”

Oh gods… the man really is an idiot. :( At least Harper was shrewd.

He may be too dumb to be effective politically, I hope.

I wish they’d put the number of standard drinks on the can. Having to calculate it for a 500ml 6% drink or a 150ml 8% or whatever gets tedious.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.
