I’m almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn’t give a shit really.

You can find many discussions about that online, and it’s basically a BE / AE thing. In BE, it’s not correct, hence I’m annoyed a lot of the time.

I’d just like to thank you for writing “how big a deal” instead of the now ubiquitous “how big of a deal”. That would have really annoyed me.

I remember hearing a story of a UN or EU real-time translator working German to English suddenly stopping, the English listeners looking a bit confused, and after another 15 or 20 seconds of hearing the German speaker continue with still no translation, just heard a whispered “the verb, dammit, the verb!” through their headsets.

‘Get her!’–that was your whole plan?

You should read his wiki page–quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

Lots of percussive maintenance going on around here, but one that sticks in my mind was testing some of the first 486DX PCs in 1990. One particular specimen from Compaq would only boot after hard power off by taking the lid off and tapping the CPU with a screwdriver. Worked fine after that.

When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we’d drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn’t matter. Until they went into production…

That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.

But you get the joke faster now.

I’ve used the web interface, Voyager, Mlem, Memmy, Thunder, and Avalon.

But Arctic is the slickest and closest to Apollo I’ve found.

This is the way.

Yes, that’s the point. The limit c denies the possibility of a perfectly rigid body existing physically. It can only exist as a thought experiment.

I’m guessing cannibalism. But where are you shopping?

You can probably throw Ethernet in there as well then, unless there’s anyone out there rocking a Lemmy instance on token ring…

That mb appears to have 8 channel audio on the backplane (7.1) and maybe another stereo header for the front panel headphones? That would make 10 channels in total which fits…
