Drei bier ist auch ein schnitzel und dann hast du nichts getrunken.
Three beers are also a schnitzel and then you drank nothing.

Instead of the plug, you could get a soap dispenser for $25-30.

TRS-80 then IBM PCjr here. Both hand-me-downs though.
Mom wouldn’t let me on the 386 until I could touch-type and write a program in BASIC. She was a Cobol and IBM RPG programmer.

“Vexillophile” is a word you probably won’t ever need again.

Omg thank you for the money!
- Comment on God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft. 1 month ago:
It’s really not bad with full elastic bands. Make a rough square using the point of the corners as one corner and the only non-elastic fold as the opposite. Just flop the sloppy elastic to the inside. I then fold in thirds and again in thirds. Just fold the weird parts to the inside each time.
My wife still thinks it’s magic after 20 years.

Yeah, the plum wine is a simple infusion.
- Comment on Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit 1 month ago:
You haven’t tried it before, so I’ll suggest just brewing one of the kits you have. Use it to figure out some process and hey, you might still get something drinkable. If not, you’ll still be setting yourself up for success with fresh new ingredients.

I see. Yeah, that compose file is gross unless you’re running this on a dedicated vps, and even then…

I haven’t run snikket before, but it looks straightforward to me. Maybe the documentation has improved?
- Comment on The Steam Controller's stick is upgradeable! 1 month ago:
It is. I even got it working wirelessly once for shits and giggles using USB/IP.

Don’t forget multicast (live streaming)!

Tiling WM and Gruvbox. Doesn’t get any better!

Also don’t forget your locking nut key for those pesky lock nuts
Leaving only those will make for a bigger surprise a few minutes later when they take a corner at speed. Or hit a bump.
- Comment on Learn this one weird trick! 2 months ago:
Battery powered impact driver plus a deep socket set = you can remove lug nuts or bolts (securing a wheel to a vehicle) in very quick fashion.
- Comment on These mugs are getting out of hand 2 months ago:
You joke, but we learned “tons” and “metric tons” in elementary school.
I assume it’s the reason “metric” is used as an adjective this way.
- Comment on rootless backup or rootless podman volumes? 2 months ago:
It seems like the only time I encounter this oddness is when some upstream docker image maintainer has done a weird with users (I once went 3 image levels up to figure out what happened).
Or if I borrow a dockerfile and don’t strip out the “nonroot” user hacks that got popularized years ago.
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 2 months ago:
Cheddar Cheeseius.
- Comment on Oktoberfest! 2 months ago:
Märzen is traditionally brewed in March because that’s what märzen means!
But we don’t need to be overly prescriptive, that’s no fun!
I’m mostly just jealous because I didn’t get to it this year.

Oh man, I grew up with those intercoms on the top right.
So weird to see them again.

Just remember that actual profit isn’t important to investors. They’re only here make money on the growth of the investment.
Goddamn parasites.
- Comment on AI startup Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5bn to settle book piracy lawsuit 2 months ago:
5B run rate explains the wild 183B valuation better. The calculus is usually a solid return after 3 years and double or better by 5, so they’re being on something like a 500B valuation by 2030.
And they very likely won’t be profitable in the real sense even then.
- Comment on The perfect use for spoons in the "bad spoon" drawer 2 months ago:
We should all pitch in and send this person some company born out of a cult flatware.
- Comment on Well, shit. 3 months ago:
Yep. Ran a config as code migration on prod instead of dev. We introduced new safeguards for running against prod after that. And changed the expectations for primary on call to do dev work with down time. Shifted to improving ops tooling or making pretty charts from all the metrics. Actually ended up reducing toil substantially over the next couple quarters.
10/10 will absolutely still do something dumb again.
- Comment on AI startup Anthropic agrees to pay $1.5bn to settle book piracy lawsuit 3 months ago:
I see. That definitely makes 13B way more sane.

$500 million in run-rate revenue
Absolutely astounding that they can raise $13B on a sixth round of funding on that.
For the less finance jargon savvy, “run-rate revenue” just means projected annual revenue.
