To be fair, there was a glowing red arrow in pursuit.

John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory

For ZSH and SSH I just speak the letters: Z-S-H, S-S-H. Sudo as "SUE-do" "SUE-doo".

One I wonder about is xrandr. I say "EKS-rand-ur", have heard others say "eks-R-and-R".

edit: for sudo long vowel. Also I tend to stress the H in ZSH and SSH.

First time a political ad got me to laugh (in a good way):

Harris (...) got [transnational gang members] sentenced to prison.

Trump is trying to avoid being sentenced to prison.

I'm as old as my tongue, and a little older than my teeth.

Much longer list at Lamest edit wars, including the one I was looking for: Genesis vs. Mega Drive.

The article's a good read. It's not about the first game from 1987.

Will probably check it out as I count myself among the Black Isle/Obsidian aficionados. Didn't see a link to the mod in the article. Bit of a let-down that Yesterday does not seem to implement the 3D Jefferson Engine as was seen in the Van Buren tech demo, but props to these modders all the same!

And as they do it they say,

'swarm

Right you are; this one's a PVM-8043MD. Looks like it lacks the 16:9 mode, manual degauss and tally light. I believe MD signifies "medical"; removed the cover and there is some shielding around the deflection yoke.

Thank you for mentioning that model number. That page has some good troubleshooting info relevant to the white balance problem I'm seeing with this one. Will post something nice if I can fix it!

Remember seeing the original title, unable to make sense of it after multiple re-reads. Your edit is clear and succinct.

Kudos to the artist, this is delightful! And today I learned LEGO Batman has a more relaxed posture than 1989 Batman.

Brave friend of mine went into Forest Conservation and Firefighting, got calf muscles big as cantaloupes!

Over my head body.

Cthulhu, is that you?

Reads 'Redrum' in ASCII. A reference to The Shining, I suppose. If there's a joke it's lost on me, sorry. Was kinda fun spending 10min decoding that, though :)

Working as a Field Service Technician can sometimes mean being alone for hours on the road in between bouts of installation/service/training/etc.

Lovely dithering technique on a challenging medium. Keep it up!

Very hesitant to offer any criticism (cause who the hell am I) but the hat doesn't stand out from the background as well as you've done for the rest of your subject.

Do you consider yourself a partisan? The pervasive notion that there are "two sides" and you must be on one of them, it results in ordinary citizens viewing one another with suspicion and fear. It's a useful lie that serves the interests of those who would foster division in order to maintain the cultural status quo.

Not calling you out in particular. Just that I think about this every time something is posted that perpetuates this false "our team, their team" narrative because it's a powerful, insipid tool of oppression against the common person. True, people differ on contentious issues, sometimes irreconcilably. But if we are made to view one another as dyed-in-the-wool adversaries over that, we will fail to discover our common interests much less promote them through solidarity.

Not denying that the two major political parties in the United States do hold seemingly unassailable dominance in major elections like the one we're entering, largely due to determining winner by first-past-the-post. And yes, sadly it's very often the case that a meaningful vote will support one of those parties. But it doesn't have to be this way forever. In fact, I will be able to vote for city office candidates by ranked choice starting this year!

Sorry for the rant. Not an expert. Just a dude who wants to love his neighbor.

Profoundly nightmarish was mine, here are the highlights:

Go to take LSD for the first time with some friends at the seller's house. Just about the time the effects are taking over I realize I met the guy once about ten years earlier, when as a stupid kid I accidentally shot him in the face with a pellet spring pistol.

Bit later, on top of feeling ashamed, regretful, worthless, helpless and out of my mind I'm becoming very nauseated so I go to the front porch. In a brief moment I see another guy I hadn't seen in years walking by on the sidewalk, and reach my hand up to wave at him. As my stomach empties he freezes in his tracks, mid-wave as his smile of recognition turns to shock.

OK, well, I just read through it. Seems very well-written; kudos to u/[email protected] for the care and effort. However I can affirm the suggestion in the comment posted by u/[email protected] in that I have no inclination to use AI tools, and nothing in the welcome sticky allows for that. Not a subscriber by the way, and haven't asked for anything! Just saw your question come up when sorted all communities by new posts this morning.
