Obviously. Weird if it wasn’t the case these days.

Have done similar in high altitude. It’s great for when the gloves come off starting a fire. I’m against the one-use heat packs and don’t take electrics besides nav, light, and beacon. Then once you’ve got good parameter bearings, you can pour it out in the designated “pee spot”.

At a certain age your ears have heard enough bullshit and it’s time to start enjoying life.

You just gave me a good idea running off the same sort of concept, but allowing for numerical characters too. Whenever I gotta do my mandatory 90 day resets, I’ll pick a song title followed by the track length in 4 digits. Make a playlist of those songs in case I’m an idiot, and I basically have the passwords written down on a notepad.
- Comment on Why does my brain think I still need counterpoints for arguments I had ten years ago? 1 week ago:
Because, naturally, it works on improving itself. This is just normal behaviour. As far as Darwinism goes, you’d be pretty undesirable if you made it this far with a brain that shutdown when in idle mode.

10 years from now, entering a country from the US requires an quarantine period pending test results. The US government whinges about it.
- Comment on advertisement 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I dunno. I just had a pipe burst under the house because it froze. I don’t think a quick psh psh up the faucet was going to help lol. If I’m honest, it was my fault for being alone that night. I shouldn’t blame the plumbing.

The WD is Water Dispersant. Maybe someone’s under the impression water can “clump up” overnight.

Yeah, but kudos to whoever the UI dev for CONTAIN.MOD.C12 is.
If I had to guess the taskbar icons; Dashboard Mode, Fullscreen Mode, Report View, Directories, System Management, Power Management, Home, Settings, Shopping, Trash.
Up top looks like all the controls you need for the chamber to open and close doors, set temps, change vitals views…
Dunno what’s up with the primary monitor not adopting the dark UI theme, but that happens with GNOME some times.
- Comment on Do drug cartels let the US and other countries "catch" their shipments? Like the US caught 1 billion of drugs over here while we ship 6 billion worth of drugs over there? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, definitely. He understood well that it was an ecosystem of its own. It was all “business” which I think is why he was very well respected by these people, the workers of the industry, and politicians. The job was to ensure goods flowed in and out so a few million people had food in their cities and towns, and he did that job very well. If he didn’t, his career would be over by whoever deemed it.
He told me once, to paraphrase, “It’s all chaos and mayhem until you realise it’s a school of fish. You just swim with them and it’s all good. Do it properly and you can steer all the fish in the right direction so everyone stays safe.”

My father worked in something similar, heading operations of a prominent logistical hub. There was a lot of gang interferences and different gangs trying to take control. If they controlled the hub, it was easy to use it for trafficking and boost profits. He had arrangements with one crime group that were “the good guys”—as good as you can get—that in turn axted as muscle to keep other groups out.
They didn’t extort, but they did ask to essentially look the other way and in turn they will handle any hostilities of other groups.
Just before he retired, a group went for a bit push. The federal authorities were useless at handling it effectively, and the main group sorted it all out. He had his car torched out the front of his house, and the other group then had people watching and protecting him and his street 24/7. The authorities knew, but couldn’t do as good a job at keeping him safe as the power struggle happened.
I had met some of these men when I was younger. Good, kind, Italian gentlemen that spoke a lot of praise of my father and were like old friends. But he had told me that they are ruthless and that he’d have to be careful around them because they’d just “take out” my father’s problems for him even if he had never mentioned them.
It was a very interesting underbelly to see, but it just worked. He’d managed to keep it as peaceful as it could be by understanding, “Yes, this will happen” but politically handling it as “Minimise it as much as possible.”

I watch the NHL some times and it amazes me how many insurance, car leasing, and drugs ads the US has. And the ads are so weird; they feel like they were made by aliens trying to blend in with humans, so nothing is normal and everyone in the ad is apparently micro-dosing psilocybin.

I think you just discovered why they’re unionising so hard.
Microsoft: Don’t worry, Blizzard. We can quash a union attempt. There’s only like 100 of them, tops…
Blizzard: There’s 650.
Microsoft: _spits drink _. For this shit!?
