Texas airport worker dies after being sucked into Delta jet engine
The fact that this is generally referred to as being “ingested” sketches me out ever so slightly, just like the word “degloved.”

Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?
I hope feijoada qualifies here. Black beans stewed with various pig parts (snout, ear, feet), served over rice.

I've only recently discovered fried chicken with waffles. Addictive.
So you like chicken & waffles, eh? If you're ever in the Chicago area, or Indianapolis, visit Kuma's Corner and order the Sourvein. It's a 10oz burger topped with deep fried chicken tenders, bacon, cheddar, waffle strips, maple syrup drizzle, and raspberry aioli, served on a pretzel bun. Be sure to add a fried egg when ordering to complete the experience. It is exactly as thick as you think it is, but holy shit.

DIY vs pre-build NAS for home use
Got a Xeon E5-2690v2 with TrueNAS Scale and a Synology DS418. Having used both pretty heavily over the years I can safely say I'm indifferent. The Synology is efficient; the TrueNAS Scale box performs really well with the added bonus of being able to run Kubernetes and Docker workloads. They're both sitting in their respective corners, doing their respective things, with minimal intervention.

Which is the first PC game that blew your mind?
Reply in thread
I'm in the same age group. Wolfenstein 3D and Doom are the ones I grew up on as well, but the first game that really blew my mind was Microsoft Flight Simulator 4. It was especially cool to me that I could easily fly around the area I grew up in from the starting position at Meigs Field in Chicago.

don't lie... it happens to all of us eventually
It's almost always /etc/fstab for me, thankfully.
