I learned about this from *The Rundown*.

I've never put stickers on any of my equipment, personal or otherwise ... But someone at my work once told me that one could procure plastic shells you can put on Macbooks so you can a. Not damage the device and b. Take your stickers with you when you leave.

An individual of taste, right here.

The biggest issue I have with it is that I have Linux on all my personal systems and OSX on my work laptop and sometimes switch rapidly between them. My fingers don't seem to adapt as quickly, though, and I often press the wrong combination between them.

I remember a while ago - when, like in your anecdote, I mostly coded in bash - I had a dream that I found out people were invoking my scripts in a manner that essentially overrode settings that might (or, in my case, might not) have been set at the beginning of the script. This never (AFAIK) happened in waking hours, but I was very offended in the dream.

A fact that I like to share from my personal history: I took four years to graduate from a two year college because I was taking every computer class they offered ... Except that I skipped "intro to Unix" because when was I ever going to use that? My entire career has been largely based on knowing how to use Linux.

Wow, haven’t seen your thorns in a while.

I liked vimwiki for this, except that it set expandtab and I could never find where.

Pretty much the one and only good thing about work forcing us to switch from Linux laptops to Macbooks.

Take the time, watch the movie. Will not disappoint.

And that’s coming from Captain Mal, so you know it’s good advice.

What about the big breath you take because you've forgotten to inhale for a while?

To be fair, they didn’t ask.

I know, but only because of an early episode of Family Guy.

So how long have you lived in Baltimore?

Cognitive behavioral therapy, right? ... Right? Back on Reddit, I once saw a lengthy debate about whether this or what you meant should be the default assumption when seeing that acronym. I don't think either participant left satisfied, which I suppose was appropriate.

I'm a man, but I like it when my wife has orgasms. Often I do, too. Sometimes the two coincide and I really like that. I suspect men of old also loved their lovers, though not universally. Hopefully the ladies came as well.

Wasn't he just copyright protection after Shazam was unveilled?

Can't argue that, but I still don't want to live in a robot. I don't want to die at the moment but I don't think I want to live... However long a robot does.

You might live forever.

All of my loved ones want to have their organs donated to science, then have the leftovers cremated.

My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.

Isn't almost everyone a namee? That is, someone who has been on the receiving end of a name?

I once worked at a webhost and was researching a problem. In so doing, I looked up a relevant error message. I found a forum post made years previously by a person whose username I knew well enough to identify as a co-worker. Turns out he never found a solution, either.

I don’t see an issue with it. There are maybe a few things I would say differently, but every IT job I’ve worked has had poorer language in the documentation, even sometimes the ones we distribute to customers.

That's a fun new word.

So your eyelids reflect your soul?

So I’m not a criminal organization as far as I know, but if I did pay with a credit card originally can that be rectified without deleting and starting over?

Yes, Homer might have been trying to fix a hole in his roof, then possibly met and befriended a roofer named Ray Magini, which is almost certainly an anagram for “Imaginary.” (Homer’s brain was theorized to be a genius because it turned out Ray might or might not have been imaginary!) Also, I may have wasted my childhood and early adult years.

The first time one of our cats got out, she got as far as hiding under the porch until we could coax her back inside. The next time she didn’t even make it outside. She got into the (unheated) garage and just spent the night there until we found her. That second night it was -11F (apparently -24C). I don’t blame her for not wanting to go further but it’s still annoying that she chose being out there over all the delicious bribery we left around the house to tempt her back in! (She was fine when we found her and has no apparent lasting issues from the experience, though she hasn’t tried to escape since.)

Apparently it’s genetic, so hopefully you’d know whether you were likely to have it.

Scrubs taught me that that can indicate Wilson’s disease.

I don’t really handwrite anything these days, but my brother always taught me to put a little upturned curve at the bottom of letters to differentiate them from similar-looking numbers.

Thank you for the information!

Is there a way to install Obtainium other than downloading it from a seemingly random website?
