A Texan coworker of mine got his Norwegian citizenship last month, after first moving here well over a decade ago. First thing I did was to DM him "You forgot about the Alamo, didn't you? 😢"

I have a 7.62x51 belt ammo box that I use for important documents. It's easy to find, relatively disaster tolerant, and it has a carry handle.

One of my kids' bedroom was overhauled. New floor, extra insulation in one of the walls, removed an unnecessary bathroom for more space, rewired the electrics.

"You did poorly, as punishment we'll take away 10% of your capability" seems counterproductive.

Contractrix sounds like a supervillain

Yeah, translation føkkøp on my part.

Green olives for snacking, blue black olives for cooking. The other way around should be a crime.

I always interpreted it as "break into ten pieces"

Varies with installation type, age, and scale, but one common approach is to daisy chain the breakers via rails that carry each phase. I couldn't find a good picture, but basically the rails and breakers are standardized so that a row of breakers will line up with the-rail terminals, so when you connect the rail to the mains you're good to go. On the output of the breaker it's common to use cable ducts to keep everything nice and tidy.

EDIT: Found a picture:

Hvordan er utvalget til Qobuz sammenlignet med Spotify? Jeg prøvde ganskenmange da mstreaming va musikk starta å bli standard, men utvalget var grunnen til at jeg endte opp med spotify..

Orange juice actually isn't orange juice unless it comes from Orange County region of California. Otherwise it's just non-sparkly lemonade.

People rip on US electricity standards all the time, from voltage, via frequency, to the NEMA plugs, and for good reasons. But the most disgusting thing about it all is this:

US breaker panels are fugly. Sure, they work just as well as those from the rest of the world, but they're aesthetically displeasing.

Two representative pictures I found of an average panel just now;

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

As long as he doesn't hijack . I don't care.

I have 32GB of RAM which practically never runs out. I'm using a 16GB swap partition, but could've gotten away with much less. I think on the next install I'll just go with the same approach as I have at work servers: No swap partitions, swapon some files on the fly instead if I really need to.

When I started dabbling with FreeBSD over 25 years ago the rule of thumb was to have swap space at least twice the size of your RAM. Then as time went in and I was no longer limited by 32MB, I made a habit of having the same swap space as RAM.

Nowadays it's kind of machine dependent for me. On my daily driver I have a swap partition of roughly half the amount of RAM I have, and the few times when that's not enough I can swapon some swap files on my root FS instead.

At work I stopped using a swap partition, as the 256GB of RAM I install as default won't run out any time soon. When oradb is having a stroke and starts eating up more than it should I add some swap files just to be safe.

Thanks, didn't notice that

Is this from the lottery ticket lawsuit episode? The setting gives me those vibes, but I don't remember a shirtless scene.

On the flipside, one of my laptops as a "Hertz gold standard clean seal"-sticker on it.
