Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂

So it was a spelling mistake? They’re actually The Knights of The Ground Table!

Not on this side of the pond. We typically don’t have a ground floor, that’s just the first floor.

Quebec is where I learned to channel Peggy Hill if someone tries to force me to speak French. Maintenant, Repeté!

Jay parlay Fran-says tray bee-in. Jay-tude en laycole, quart ans.

About that time they switch to English, and beg me to never attempt to speak French again

Lol.

J’comprend Français, bien. J’parle Français un peu.

This right here is why I love you guys. Someone posted a bug, and we already have two people testing said bug, and giving reports within 30 minutes of the bug report.

Never change Lemmy :)

I just checked it on Sync for Lemmy, and it showed as a blue block till I clicked it. I’m using a Galaxy S10e. It does show two instances of the word “spoiler” at the beginning of the text, but that’s just something Sync does. Works fine elsewhere.

Why are you giving out parent of the year awards for crimes against humanity?

I think the US had Whigs for like a decade maybe? Them and the Know Nothings.

I’d recommend against it. Seems to cause my father no end of headaches

Makes sense to me. If I were any sort of combat specialist, I’d volunteer. I however wouldn’t be very useful, as they use a different type of reactor to the ones I was trained on.

That’s probably true. My father has been developing in COBOL since the '70s. I didn’t bother learning it because I was under the impression that he was being paid more for experience than his basic skills.

There may be, but as far as I can tell, they won’t pay what the people that still need COBOL are willing to pay

You missed the banks tripping over themselves to find a COBOL programmer. My father makes stupid amounts of money (read, $400-$1600 per hour) maintaining bank COBOL systems. My father is in his 70s.

COBOL is almost as much of a PITA as Lisp, but no one, not even the US Military that developed Lisp will pay the really big bucks to maintain it.

Before that we had ‽:-)

I have to agree. The Macintosh 128k didn’t even have an internal HDD. Everything was run on 3.5" floppies. Heck they may have invented the 3.5" floppy, idk. As you said, dragging the system dick icon to the trash on a 128k was literally the easiest way to eject the disk.

My father still owns one, that may actually work. He also got 2 extra external floppy drives for the thing. He also has an Apple ]|[

SCP should be able to secure the keyboard anomaly

The original “Internet Explorer” icon was a globe and magnifying glass, with the text “The Internet,” underneath

Quintopoly right now, Quadopoly if WBD gets acquired. Probably a Triopoly or Duopoly fairly soon after that.

If you have a legitimate copy of Dogma (1999), put it into a fireproof safety box. That is a collectors item already, as they pulled production of the DVD copies after a rather limited run.

And there’s always Adderall for those of us that can’t stand coffee

We never had the numbers to outnumber either of the giant generations on either side of us

Marines we are at 5% force operational status

Yeah, I remember ages ago I set up a torrent to loop play either in VLC or Real player. It “worked” kinda, in that it would play what it had of the file. It didn’t work, because as you said, it was grabbing a second at a time from random bits of the movie. Sometimes created funny sequences though.

It lacks grits. Properly done grits make an English Breakfast that much better.

I thought you made a custom thermos bottle at first

Mr. Rogers in a blood stained sweater.

Thought you guys had single payer up there?

You’re a winch, wench!

¿Por que no los dos?

Ah, so that was what that comic was about. I remember seeing it before, and those memories were confused about what was happening.

Edit: Oh my. Yes I can see how this would drive one crazy, especially if you didn’t manage to complete this eternal series of quick time events.

This one?

Seems a bit hectic

Two questions immediately come to mind. 1) Would you buy the cyanide if it was on the list. 2) Where does one casually buy cyanide? I can’t imagine a case where I’d need some, but it would be handy to know if I ever did.

Not the lemming you asked, but as far as I can tell the issue is that due to the unregulatable nature of blockchain, scammers like SBF are almost an inevitability with the tech as long as we are trying to use it to make money out of thin air. In the long term this will only further erode public trust of new technologies.

Nah. All police boil down to the state having an exclusive right to enforce their whims with violence, and protecting the oppressive class, by using violence on the oppressed. I’ve yet to see a country where this isn’t the case. The US cops are just better armed than most other cops, so they make the news for their state sanctioned crimes more often.

Couldn’t your parliament enact such price caps?

I think I remember an interview where Keanu openly states that The Crow, and a few other classics were the inspiration for JW. Mission Impossible, and The Boondock Saints would also be candidates.

Re. Your Username: Darmock, his gas tank empty.

Babylon 5 is being redone, I dunno if it’s in 4k though.

Since my father makes anywhere from $400-$1200 an hour coding in COBOL, what’s COBOL?

Meanwhile, Reagan took the movie seriously, and threw money at his Star Wars project, and the SSC
