No, dumping ice cream on the cat isn’t worth it. It’s funny for a few minutes but then you have to clean it up and cats hold grudges.

This is the internet, so obviously it means handjob.

When aren’t students treated like guinea pigs? Hank Green once pointed out that most science done on “people” were actually done on mostly white, mostly American, mostly young, mostly male college students, because that’s who signs up for “studies.”

Do the French still have a death penalty? If no, pass.

Curious how the French have jurisdiction over Austin?

I’ve gone on this tirade plenty of times, but inches aren’t stupid. 12 inches to a foot makes a lot of sense for problems we’ve had to solve for millennia, because it’s 3 times a power of two. For things like woodoworking it actually makes more sense than the metric system.

“But 10 deciliters in a liter” Using a tape measure, mark out 1/3rd of the thickness of a standard 19mm sheet of plywood. I’ll be over here doing the same with 3/4" plywood by marking at 1/4".

Maybe we shouldn’t be selling Europe any weapons that work.

*sk8r boi

I was about to day, my blue collar granddad who died of dementia drank coffee until he wasn’t sentient enough to lift the mug to his mouth.

No Duh?!

Okay, he was 6’5" and she was 5’2".

It is my understanding that pull requests say “Hey, I forked and modified your project. Look at it and consider adopting my changes in your project.” So anyone who wants to look at the “experimental stuff” can just pull that fork. Someone in charge of the main branch decides if and when to merge pull requests.

The problem becomes the volume of requests; they’re kinda getting DDOS’d.

They don’t seem to be aware they’re delicious with barbecue sauce.

Ticks. Because disease parasites.

I touch type on QWERTY with a few variations from the standard. For example, I use right shift seldom, to type a capital A I shift my left hand over, hold shift with my little finger and strike A with my ring finger. the Y key I type with either hand depending on what else is going on with my hands at the time, and the rules I follow I don’t even understand, so most of those ergonomic split keyboards are no good for me. I don’t know if I type 6 or B correctly, I use the right hand for both.

I was given typing tutor programs as a child, I took a keyboarding class in 9th grade, in fact I was in that class when the planes hit the towers. My typing proficiency really came from Yahoo! and MSN. Turns out, teens will pick up a skill on their own if it’s useful for socializing with other teens.

or /dev/urandom?

Yeah I consider the bridge burned; their install media maker .exe thing doesn’t run on Linux so I Just Can’t Help You Install Windows Anymore^TM.

The best kind of true.

I am in the wrong goddamn business, I need to be selling $9,000 kettle cords to music morons.

You should go look at the listings for stripper poles on Amazon, it’s hilarious the places they photoshop them into.

I found it buggy and unfinished, plus a “That branch is unmaintained, use this fork” situation, so…nope.
