  • Georgia Aquarium (Atlanta). Trixie and friends. #IYKYK #notPorn

    Second best? Every museum we went to in Sweden was free. "Go on in, see some viking stuff."

    Most disappointing? Phallus.is , pretty much nothing but what you think it is. Good for a lark and a titter but no revelations.

  • I’ve already moved on. Couldn’t care less about Reddit any more.

    This.

    But not much has changed, functionally, for me: I still get downvoted when I point out where people can improve their English and surpass my nephew when he was in the third grade. And I still get to debate technical things based on what I know, so that's really no change. Different pile, is all.

  • What is the privileged action in pulling and applying updates your distro ships

    Tell me again how you want to write system files with a non-admin account, and I'm going to show you my friend Lumpy, who will walk all over your machine so fucking fast. Fuck that, Lumpy's a genius. One of his underlings (he manages now) will do it on a lunch break.

  • Doas is more secure, sudo has had a few critical vulnerabilities in the past, because

    .. it's newer. You wanted to say "it's newer." It has nowhere near the history, and looks better because it's newer.

    Please, now, trot out the "use sudo if you're old" memes, because we grew that skin extra thick over the systemd counter-hate.

  • I went to America for the wealth and riches 25 years ago; but I came back about 20 years ago, for reasons entirely related to healthcare and filled with issues that in this country we don't understand actually exist.

    To restate: the problems of in-network/out-of-network are so alien to us that you'd need to convince my peers it's real, because they almost believe it's made up.

    My Indian boss, raised in Tanzania, had a certain bias. "People who can leave India," he said, "do." I'm thinking soon people who can leave America, despite the promise of riches and because of the healthcare, do.

  • I think that's every IT job out there. Training sucks; and is usually biased around loser add-on products that wouldn't make it themselves but they piggy-back the main offering to sell licenses (hellooo RedHat).

    So there's a lot of "yep but lemme go look that up" and crushing imposter syndrome. Like paramedics, there's just no way we know all of this; I'm glad that usually no one dies on the bad days.

  • Dude, where's my car?

    We saw it after we went to see the shaft movie and got free passes because film burned - it really did that! - at a quiet point with palmieri. We lost the 5 slow minutes in that film.

    We saw it on free passes and I still wanted my money back; but I sat through every minute and hated it instead because the tickets were still ours and formerly-poor kids don't waste stuff like that.

  • This. The best business advice I can give as someone who started a business is ... don't.

    The odds are terrible, you lose your soul to compromise, and ultimately end up selling out or going poor; either way the project is dead or milked by the buyer and you either have money from the sale or no money at all. 99% chance of the latter.
