Hope your CD player had skip protection 😉

That’s not entirely correct: One achievement was me donating money to the IA after this nonsense 😁

I can hear this meme so hard. Even the spool down and spool up of the CD drive in this situation is burned in forever. It’s been more than 20 years but it feels like yesterday

30 years ago we definitely had snow in winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But I remember playing in snow basically every winter as a kid. And I’m living in a very mild region of Germany. Now I’m considering all season tires (just for legal purposes) to not change wheels twice a year, since there is maybe some snow for one week in total.

Spoke with a guy this week who was born in the 30s. He said winter back then was much harder. Whole lakes or even rivers were frozen solid. I can’t imagine being able to walk to the other side of a major river…

But I’d say (at least that’s my experience) it’s not a very addictive substance. Or it depends heavily on the person.

I drink 0-5 cups a day. I like the taste and I like drinking it in some social settings. I don’t need it in the morning to get my body awake. I can just stop drinking coffee any time for longer periods of time without any issues.

Once I was working in Bavaria for about 6 weeks. We drank around 1l of beer every dinner. Returning home I wanted to drink a beer after the first dinner. This made me stop drinking alcohol for two months and since I made this experience I regularly stop consuming substances that may be addictive. I never experienced this with caffeine.

Wait until they start to orbit in formations representing company logos and serving us advertisements from space…

This is the correct answer. Don’t overthink this. Just go, have a look and that’s it. Tell everybody involved that you don’t have to proof anything if they ask.

I know people who could afford this house easily that walk around like a regular farmer. Sales people having regular contact with wealthy people know this.

Yes.

I’m the opposite: I migrated 2 4TB drives from my first NAS into the actual one. The drives are going strong and nearing ten years (!) of run time. Two out of eight drives died in this server since 2017. Both were newer. I’m not going to change a single disk before it dies. Most value for money in my opinion.

But I can afford this „risk“: My server has a redundancy of 2 disks. It has a local USB backup, is mirrored to two remote servers in different locations with local backups as well.

Aber am sehr nächsten Tag, du gabst es weg 💔

No Christmas tree? Straight to jail!

Poor girl. Nobody using that stuff looks young. People are manipulated so heavily that they are not able to see that it’s BS.

What about a GOpher?

I agree. I maintained a dyson (I think it was a V6) for a couple of years. They are generally designed so well, it literally pokes your eye where they made the materials extra thin to break earlier (for example the pipe connection mechanism and the electrical connectors)

I gave up when the main body started to break. Using a Philips now. Better in many ways but still far from perfect.

The availability of spare parts is really good though for dysons. Lot of cheap stuff on Amazon and eBay. Buying a spare battery for the Philips for example is much harder.

I agree. I would expect any service holster to at least have some kind of a mechanical lock to prevent theft or an accidental drop of a gun.

I have a cheap plastic holster that requires a button press with your index finger. You can do this while grabbing the handle and starting to pull the gun. When completely pulled out, your finger is then aligned near to the trigger for quick response times. That’s the system I expect a modern police to have. It’s really difficult to take the gun out when you’re not pulling from above from a natural position.

I know the cops in the US have a very bad reputation but this can’t be true.

It behaves like a pocket of air trapped under some wrap/sticker: It moves around without loosing its shape or density 😂

I’m relaxed. IMHO this is just another trend.

In all my career I haven’t seen a single customer who was able to tell me out of the box what they need. Big part of my job is to talk to all entities to get the big picture. Gather information about Soft- and Hardware interfaces, visit places to see PHYSICAL things like sub processes or machines.

My focus may be shifted to less coding in an IDE and more of generating code with prompts to use AI as what it is: a TOOL.

I’m annoyed of this mentality of get rich quick, earn a lot of money with no work, develop software without earning the skills and experience. It’s like using libraries for every little problem you have to solve. Worst case you land in dependency/debug hell and waste much more time debugging stuff other people wrote than coding it by yourself and understanding how the things work under the hood.

Good old brainfuck 👌
