Screw gravity!

Probably the 72 year old Ferguson tractor I own, new parts are so easy to find and usually very reasonably priced. It’s also designed to be easily user serviceable and user repairable.

It feels like it to me.

“He’s not on Chitter, he’s not on Friendface.”

Gabe only answers twice.

Yes! Except when using a lathe…

Still working fine for me

I had to read the comments to realise this was about gaming, I was very confused.

We finished working on what we had already agreed to do and then cancelled the contract, the client was quite understanding.

At a small company I used to work for we agreed to take over the management system for someone trading physical resources. The guy that originally wrote it was self taught. We did a hand over with him where he took us through the code base. It was written in dotnet but it was a huge mess, he had blended multiple different dotnet paradigms, there was mixed business and UI code all over the place, large chunks of html were stored in the db, db code was just scattered through the application. We took it over briefly but it was a nightmare to work on and we found a SQL injection vulnerability. So as kindly as possible we told the client that his software was a piece of shit and the dev he hired had no idea what he was doing.

That’s just what people look like in Ferntree Gully.

Sorry for the you tube link, but it’s too relevant: When people speak English but with German grammar.

No it’s common for papers to have prewritten obituaries for people they know will die soon, or even just important people in general so they can get them published quickly. She would have just had place holders for the date and his age that the editor filled in before publication. She probably didn’t expect that Watson would outlive her.

Not that I would have worked for that scummy company to begin with but that would be a huge deal breaker.

There has also been a huge push into developing countries by the tobacco industry, so while smoking rates are way down in the developed world they are climbing elsewhere thanks to poorer education and lax government regulation.

The innocence will never last

When I was in my teens I used Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, by Led Zeppelin as my alarm, over 15 years later and I can’t help but feel like I’m being yanked out of dead sleep every time I hear it.

Nope, not even once. I find the idea of circumcision really bizarre.

Have you informed the elders of the internet about this?

I use Technitium, for that purpose. You can set up DNS records easily and it still has blocking like pi-hole. You can log DNS requests if you need to track down where certain requests are coming from or which devices are making lots of requests. It has quite a few features but I only need a couple.
