I prefer “tit for tat”.

You can’t control hyperv via powershel, winrm, or wmi?

I’m a net admin so I don’t deal much on hypervisors but I’m a bit surprised.

Does it actually have shit automation support, or do you just not like the APIs?

Don’t let this election, or any election, allow us to forget the time back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

The Republican party wouldn’t exist if everybody voted. That is a straight up fact. As fucked as our election system is, they are far enough the minority that if everyone got out, the EC wouldn’t matter.

You want a “left light” and a “true left”, you aren’t going to get it by abstaining, or by voting for nonviable moonshot third-party candidates. You are going to get it by abolishing the far right party and making that tiny sliver of the whole population realize that their antiquated views aren’t welcome here.

They need to be crushed.

They only exist because people don’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils, so instead they just don’t vote. And what do you know, a -1 for the less evil is just as effective as a +1 for the more evil.

All of their success is brought on by feeding apathy in their opposition, making it more difficult to vote, destroying any faith in the system, and gerrymandering.

So yes, in my opinion, the far left refusing to hold their nose for a few minutes may as well be voting for the insurrectionist.

We’ve been getting tons of rain here, but we are still in an outdoor water ban.

Between 8-5, no lawn watering (except golf courses and businesses), no washing your car (except at a car wash), no watering your ornamental plants (except for farms and garden stores). No filling your pool (even a kiddie pool) or running through the sprinkler (except at the water park).

It’s not because of drought, but because one of our water sources is offline due to elevated PFAS, so they are blending water from other reservoirs, and those sources combined can’t make up the extra demand.

And also protecting businesses by making sure we can’t wash our own cars or lollygag through our own sprinklers. Gotta pay for that privilege.

We have to pay…for the privilege…of lollygagging through our sprinklers.

I get the lawn part. I hate lawns. But my yard is also a barren mud pit. I gotta put something down. Trying for mostly clover and other plants that don’t need a ton of water, but they still need to stay moist to germinate and start off, and that’s real tough to do if you can’t water it during the hottest parts of the day. I don’t really care what grows as long as it holds the dirt together and it’s comfortable to walk on barefoot.

History has its eyes on them.

In a different hemisphere than my ancestors, my surname translates to “Go Fuck Yourself”.

Found that out while working in a restaurant staffed by speakers of that language. Thought they were fucking with me but I googled it.

Aww it looks like if Jonah Hill were typecast as the chubby yet cherubic best friend. Back when Jonah Hill was chubby.

Wait three days for a medical procedure and nobody bats an eye.

Wait three days for a firearm and everybody loses their minds.

That’s the saying, but in reality it’s more like 80%, or 4/5.

This, being in four states at once, that makes it 4/20.

Steven Miller

I’d call him “Maurice”.

That’s a bit obtuse though. I prefer my angles to be 90°. That’s just right.

NGL I kinda want to look into OG Xbox emulation, been waxing nostalgia for Fable.

Consider the difference between “would do” and “could do” to be the same as “will do” and “can do”, respectively.

One implies action, the other implies capability.

There’s also “should”, which implies permission.

Consider, also, the progress of learning Python (programming language):

1. Could I do this in Python?
2. I would do this in Python.
3. I shouldn’t do this in Python.

Edit to add: Would, could, and should are usually considered future-tense. But add “have” and it’s past-tense…“I would have done that”

Yeah. That’s why we can rank on school nights.

Most the players better than us have to go to school in the morning.

We trade sleep for funtime.

As a parent I don’t have the time for multiplayer gaming.

Sometimes I feel like picking up an MMO. Nostalgia is calling for TBC Classic. But then I remember that I’m not going to have this combination of desire and time to play again for like a week, at least.

And I’d spend all my available time tonight just installing it and getting it working.

And then forget it’s installed.

And then next time I can play, it needs to patch.

That’s not way to play an MMO, especially one where I’d be paying $15/Mo for what amounts to a couple hours of playable time.

So yeah…single player ftw.

How you gonna have Wendover and not Half as Interesting (his shorter form side-channel)?

No Road Guy Rob? Or Practical Engineering?

No Extra History? (I only know him from Nebula but I think he’s on YouTube too)

Also recommend 8bit-Guy for retro computing and Modern Vintage Gamer for retro gaming.

Considering how “fuck you in particular” lightning can be…maybe.

Yeah…okay.
