The electrician was appointed to come here today. Now I am waiting. Why isn't he here yet?
Universal law of tradesmen: They come when you least expect them, and when you expect them they don't come.

Partitioning Your Linux Drives: Does It Provide Any Benefits?
Reply in thread
Windows user folders are nearly unusable in my opinion, too many programs throw in random folders and files everywhere. Especially the Documents folder, too many games putting incoherent stuff in there

There's some relation in that they both act on fields, but the things that affect those fields are very different (higgs bosons and electrons respectively) and the relationship between all that for an 'unified theory' is a topic of much research. IANAP though (not a physicist)

Instantly. Least uncomplicated device on the network. Once I was angry at my laser printer for not showing up, turns out I accidentally left the ethernet cable disconnected afer moving it. Plugged it in, immediately popped up, no wait or restart needed. Prints immediately and effectively, cartridges are easy to replace and relatively cheap, never had stuck paper. Perfect printer.

Why do crumbles always settle at the bottom, like in a bag of chips, or a box of cereals?
It's known as the 'Brazil nut effect', technically apparently Granular Convection: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_convection It's apparently not fully explained, but theories suggest things like buoyancy, or that larger particles are blocked from sinking by smaller particles, which on the other hand can slip below the larger ones.

I think I read something about there being timeouts for slow jobs, which backups definitely are. Really unsure though, it has been a while. Try spawning independent worker programs!

I'm socially awkward, how do I greet coworkers?
I just walk in and say 'Good Morning' in passing, no need for an answer or waiting for them to stop talking. Then I go settle in for the work and if they want to chat they will probably talk to you then. If you were there first I guess you can take the initiative.

Remember when FFG insisted we wouldn't have to worry about our XCOM board game becoming obsoleted?
Sad, I got the game but never got the chance to play it...

As an European student, my freezer is also filled with pizza rolls and other junk food. But that's only because my fridge is filled with fresh produce and my cupboards have lots of dry ingredients. Cooking simple dishes from common ingredients is easy and quick once you got a couple of go-tos and the freezer is only for "guilty pleasure" snacks. That cart looks like my snack run. Many ads show "quick and easy" meals here too, but luckily I learned (in school) how to cook on my own, quickly and easily despite my schedule

It's a small step to correlate locations and thoughts with minimal processing.
You're at home when your network starts connecting to 4chan? - You're a deviant.
You frequent a bar that is a known gay meet up? - You're a deviant
You visited a location where a(n opposing) political rally was held? - You're a deviant and now you're also on the watch list.

How do you debug issues with WireGuard? Things usually go great but every now and then my subsonic server stops streaming (or my client stops getting the music) so his never happens on local network b
Personally, I just looked at my firewall's logs on the WG port and the handshake info. Once you have a handshake I don't think there's much that can go wrong on the WG side, maybe there's a problem with lost packets or network roaming?
