@oracle My title is "Lead Developer". It sounds way more impressive than I feel it represents my ability to actually lead.

@thismightbeauser Neither do I. It just appeared today.

The most frustrating thing in the world is not being trusted despite the evidence, the adversary lying, and the controlling entity effectively doing nothing.

@scribus you're dann right. It's like smashing the head against an impenetrable and indestructible wall.

Just read a Star Wars thread on Twitter. Saw the phrase "Star Wars" so many times, it became really clear how absurd an idea "Star Wars" really is on every single level except for the srsbsns "Star Wars" fandom. "Star Wars!"

I'm looking at some houses for purchase because my current living condition has not a very good outlook because of my *neighbours* below me. Oh man... They are so expensive. Most of them are 450000€ or above. There is one house that is in a good area and slightly cheaper than the average, however it needs a ton of work.

Increasingly difficult to write letters to politicians when you aren't allowed to say "kill yourself"

@scribus Around the time of that school shooting in Broward County, I had a cartoon written (and a background painted!) that was just Marco Rubio listening to a bunch of voicemails from constituents telling him to kill himself, it was like four straight minutes of just that, and then the punchline was that he... kills himself. I decided not to do it when I realized it would probably get me a friendly visit from some federal prosecutors looking to ask me some questions.

@mrmattimation Well, I hit my limit break, lllooolll

Watching John Wick for the first time and I'm wondering what other see in that film to say it's great. It's pure gun porn.

Oh boy. I search for a new laser printer for my parents as theirs refuse to cooperate. The exact model I own is now about 100€ more expensive than I bought it over a year ago. WTF.

@scribus I just watched all the 13 episodes. It's good. Not overwhelmingly good. Good good. Some jokes and segments were not to my own taste but the rest was good 'ol fun.
-
@adiwan @scribus I enjoyed it quite a bit, although I definitely thought the Pinky and the Brain segments were generally the better parts of the episodes they were in. Not that the Warner Bros. segments were bad at all, they were pretty funny, I just thought P&B had waaaaay less misses.

@mrmattimation Pinky and the Brain operate from a well-established formula and it s not very surprising that their segment is the more consistent one. I still agree that they were mostly the better part of the show.

Because I'm somewhat of a dumbass, I only recently learned that one of Ireland's symbols is the harp. I had some vague familiarity with the Guinness harp (though I don't drink often) but I didn't really connect it. It's on Euros too of course, but I either didn't use any when I went to Spain or wasn't paying attention.

@adiwan Yeah, I've seen a mixture of different designs and countries since I've gotten here. The US started a thing a while back for the states. Not sure if they ever stopped since the original coins are still in circulation. Wasn't paying much attention to the years.
-
@thismightbeauser I think they completed the first run of 50 states a while ago, and have gone into a couple cycles of state-themed stuff, like birds or trees or something, but we've been on a "coin shortage" all pandemic so I haven't seen quarters in weeks at least, lol

It depresses me that there are less and less new PC cases with space for optical drives (CD/DVD/BluRay). I'm starting to look around for a new PC. As my PC is older and my case has only USB2 ports and an unreliable headphone jack, as well as showing wear I want a new one. My current case is from Cooler Master from 2006.

@scribus What even happened to floppy drives, EDO RAM, user-upgradable CPU cache, manually selectable device IRQ, Soundblaster, 3Dfx, CRT monitors, PS/2 keyboards, ball mice, IDE, SCSI...?
-
@adiwan I'm willing to let go of ball mice, but I still want me some PS/2 ports because damn it you only give me four USB ports and expect two of them to be mandatory input devices???
-
@scribus I'm glad my monitor has an integrated USB hub. I have a mouse, keyboard, scanner, drawing tablet, VR headset, and an external HDD, a microphone, and a webcam attached to almost all available ports of the whole system. I use the front ones occasionally for the SD card reader. So I'm pretty much maxed out.

Changed my tires today. Because my father used a pneumatic drill last time I had a hard time loosening the screws. I had to literally stand on the wrench to have enough force to get over the friction.

@adiwan Eh, it's California. It's a local gag that you can surf in the morning, and ski in the afternoon. Or vice-versa.
-
@scribus I could do that too but the North Sea is toooo damn cold haha I don't know if the indoor skiing halls are open in Summer.... The mountains near me are not tall enough for snow all year around. I would need to drive to the Alps and it takes about 8 hours to get from where I live. But it isn't worth the time and gas.
-
@adiwan Ah, yeah, it's not a year-round snow, here. Maybe further north, yeah, but then the surf becomes a different story, lol.

Almost gotta respect how many times CNN can publish "BREAKING: We Still Don't Know!" like being told on Wednesday that it could take until Friday or longer didn't already inform us of things like "We don't know yet, and it will take time to count."

@adiwan I suspect his talk about "being so embarrassed that he leaves the country" was code for "finding somewhere without extradition to the US to die in penury," but maybe that was just wishful thinking.
-
@scribus He has a memory of a goldfish and an ego as big as Jupiter. His stubbornness and rabid followers will pull him back. Presidency two: electric vote-a-loo. The Fluffle Puff show will repeat again. As much as I have no wish for that I am emotionally preparing it as soon as possible.

@adiwan I've said it before, but I'll believe everything because I can't believe any of it. XD

@adiwan Well, it's less that I'm claiming to be 100% correct about events that have yet to pass, and more a satirical statement in reflection on the fact that people are surprised that Donald Trump is doing exactly what he said he'd do four years ago. Like, if it's that widely shocking when an asshole, who said he would be an asshole, is an asshole, then clearly "having seen it coming" MUST be among some kind of ~SpEcIaL pOwErS~ or whatever.

@thismightbeauser Don't worry. Compared to the rest of the world the US is a minority.

@adiwan I'm not sure what positive to take away from that being in Europe as a US minority.

Well it was early in the morning, I was tired, thought to myself, "I really hate myself, I'm going to upgrade the production servers from Ubuntu 18 to 20 LTS". Backups, who needs backups, I don't think the dependencies have changed in this version release.
Wednesday, 28-Oct-20 22:17:33 UTC from web-
@oracle I'm crazy with my "rolling release" Debian Experimental. Any time used *buntu and dist-upgraded it was always a hell and ended up in a complete re-install for the sake of saving time fixing each issue individually.
-
@adiwan I know what you mean, the LTS releases bundle too many programs together in my opinion. In my f-up, it was the upgrade to python 3.8 that caused most of my problems.
-
@oracle My upgrades aren't peachy either. Often I have to manually handle a less than fortunate set of dependencies due to conflicts or just unavailable packages. I don't mind that as I make a little game out of it and the frequency of those problems is not that bad. Strangely most of the time samba and python are the cause of an issue.
