  It more that there’s a grift happening. What’s the odds that theres a tenuous conflict of interest here with the various business and executives concerned? It’s a small cub and everyone scratches each other backs.

  It’s still a prestige brand in the eyes of the masses. It might not be as good t brag about den at the country club but letting the plebs know that you can afford a car that costs more than their house still has value.

  Somewhere in Jaguar HQ, a marketing firm convinced the CxO suite that the most pressing problem facing the company was that the logo was wrong. So, in the interests of the shareholders they write off the goodwill value of the existing brand and dump millions of euro into this.

  Obviously the plural of foot is feet, so the plural of book should be beek.

  Or one sheep should be a shoop.

  There’s also the English Vowel Shift. Which means words either side of it are inconsistent.

  Everyone does get those.

  The beef is… Complicated.

  It’s more efficient to just concentrate them in camps and gas them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  … A sunny disposition?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reporters Without Borders sues X⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s correct, as much as any English is correct, but not typically spoken naturally like that.

  The press (newspapers) has an idiosyncratic grammar, probably born of maximising space in a newspaper column. Headlines are often grammatical nightmares, body copy less so.

  One could think of it as a form of semantic compression.

  One of them is now invisible and one is super stretchy, the third one is on fire all the time.

  The Library of Babel, by Jorge Luis Borges (1941)

  A good read.

  Wtf are those parentheses doing there.

  I like that this has simple examples, even if imperfect.

  I bought a refurbished SFF PC and put a PCIe NIC in it. Installed opnSense.

  Cheap as chips.

  Anxiety?

  If that tiny idiot of an amygdala in your brain thinks you’re in danger then nausea can be a symptom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home Depot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Derp, that’s what I was thinking of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Home Depot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Plural of genre. Still should have been singular “ganre” though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I still double-check my CIDR’s/netmasks and expected ranges with a tool (some online one or other). Easier to avoid silly mistakes or typo’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DR: it depends entirely on the DHCP server software.

  Generally the safe/reliable policy is to assign a smaller DHCP range (or ranges) and allocate static assignments outside of the DHCP range(s).

  Assume your network is 192.168.1.0/24.

  Specify 192.168.1.128/25 for DHCP, which means all DHCP addresses will be above 192.168.1.128.

  This leaves you everything below 192.168.1.127 for static assignments.

  But then they can’t ~force you to watch~ claim that you watched the ad at the start of the video for that sweet advertiser revenue.

  Same boat, but I gave D4 a go. I’m enjoying it. YMMV.

  I entirely understand being burnt by D3.

  Ahh, I’ve got wrong end of the stick. TY!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar will get too cheap to connect to the power grid.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a grid connection to allow residential solar to feed back? (I thought it “just worked”)

  Or any grid connection, like for a new building?
