Well in that case

Merhaba, bugün doktorunuz olacağım. Lütfen eteğinizi kaldırın, iç çamaşırınızı çıkarın ve her zamanki pozisyonu alın.

Woof, woof, woof! That’s my other dog imitation

That’s such a positive wave, maybe they can’t lose…

Torque specs are really really important and not enough people know that to be the case

In other cases torque spec was pulled out of the tech writers rectum to avoid having people ask.

What the heck, an exclamation mark links to communities. TIL

I’m an actual human, I swear!

I don’t know about that, let’s see what a selfidentified bot thinks.

Large companies telling broadcom to go suck a lemon, is definitely what can make a difference for the rest of us in the future… Definitely maybe, possibly make potential a difference.

I may only use VMware workstation pro for desktop virtualization for lab use, and I do realize the ramifications for enterprise operations are exponentially greater. But even I am getting a worse service. I used to be able to google an issue, find a link to the VMware forum and just open that. Now *.vmware.com redirects to broadcom.com and searching for the post there seldom finds it again. Absolutely brilliant timing for google to kill cached pages.

The broadcom takeover has fucked us all.

There’s a limit for file size on the Usenet

No, there is no limit on the file size on usenet. There’s a limit on the individual article size, but larger files just require more articles.

The reason why files were split on usenet was completion and corruption, and probably also media size originally. Say you need to post a 700MB file to alt.binaries.erotica.grannies.diapers, then you could just split those 700MB into 477867 articles of 1.5kB each, but if a single article is then corrupted or dropped, then nobody can get the file. If you split the 700MB into 35 files of 20MB each, and each 20MB file into 13654 articles, then a dropped article only corrupts a single file. Add to that, that completion issues often occured (or is it occurs? it’s been a long while since I got my Linux iso files from usenet) close to each other. So there might be a bunch of corruption in a single file, but everything else is fine. This is useful if your main provider was your ISPs complimentary usenet server, and you only got the rest from a pay by download service.

About the media comment earlier, I can’t be sure. I wasn’t around in the early days, but I know that the 700MB file size for movies came from the limitations of CDs. Splitting files can quite possibly stem from some similar restrictions on a removable media.

You can thank WinRar for powering the entire sharing scene for decades

And the saints behind winrar for only bugging you to pay. TBH first time installing 7z on a new windows install, instead of winrar, felt a bit sad.

And that’s when you learned about parity files…

When par2 came out that was huge for me. Didn’t use floppies anymore, but the ability to only download the required amount of parity blocks was great.

we never do aggressive things

Lady, some guys are at the door looking for you, asking “WTF?!?” In Chechen, Ossetian, and Ukrainian… Oh wait there’s a guy loudly yelling in Finnish coming around the corner with his buddies from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania… OMG they’ve got torches and pitchforks, saying that they’re looking for their friends on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspicious_deaths_of_notable_Russians_(2022–2024)

I do realize that she’s talking about individual Russians not being aggressive. And I know that I shouldn’t find it so funny, that she’s having this wake up call from the world… But I find it absolutely hilarious. You want others to like you? How about treating people better? And if your country’s the problem then revolt.

Or commas, and better grammar, would have done wonders, too.

“Hail, the size of energy drink can[s], pelt[ed] Texas […]”

Some will, but some will also just not feel as engaged and stay home.

Real question is, how large a percentage of potential Trump voters will be demotivated enough to stay home, vs how many potential Biden voters are being turned off by his age and ball-less stance on the war crimes in Gaza.

404 no hero found

It was either political violence or a false flag operation. Either way, no heroes were involved.

The first line took a while to read. First try I got what could be written as:

“Sizes of energy drink can pelts, we salute you”

I mean “drink can pelts” is a weird way to say aluminum

W11 even enterprise users are all tied into autopilot, Intune MDM, and/or a microsoft account

The “win 11 business editions 23h2” iso that I got from visualstudio.com yesterday, did no more than the usual amount of crap to make it difficult to find the “join a domain instead”, allowing me to make a local user.

It was what piqued my interest in getting one, but I was broke and in school, so no hilux for me. But that the prices are still inflated is wild. I mean it was the 4th and 5th gen models that were unbreakable, and the one I found was 11years newer than 5th gen.

But the age of the unbreakable hilux means that I can get them on a classic car registration, which comes with a low yearly registration fee, inspections every 8th year, vs 2nd for newer cars, and cheap insurance. I may have been looking the wrong places for a hilux.

I wouldn’t mind one in my basement… If I had a basement. But I do have a nice shed, where a 30MW reactor would fit nicely.

Nukeheads are insane

That’s your opinion. My opinion is that we need distributed power generation that can handle baseload. And neither solar nor wind can do that. My personal experience is, that our wind turbine usually doesn’t spin for several periods of up to 10 days in December through March. And energy storage with the required capacity still doesn’t exist either. Thus the power plants will be burning LNG, biomass, garbage or oil and coal, for the foreseeable future.

A centrally controlled, well regulated, network of small reactors will solve the problem.

How I sleep all morning not remembering last night’s 34 felonies, but about to wake up to find that I needed a diaper and a bucket /s

So? You use the noose as a stirrup and loop the rope around your arm a few times, get people to pull and now you have an uncle called Bob.

It’s all about having a positive outlook on your PC and something about drowning life in homemade lemonade or something … IDK I’m not a psychologist

Probably 20 per slab, and an annual yield of about two slabs combined. Of course it will only run for a month before breaking down, due to some vital part going missing.
