I’ve visited the US a couple of times for work.
I’ve been very careful with my wording when they’ve asked if I’m there to work.
Yes, I’m there for work. I’m employed in the EU, and I’m just there representing my employer at a fair or technical meeting. I’ll be gone in a few days.
My colleague didn’t have the same way with his words, but back then they’d just put you on the next plane back.
I always say that thinking before speaking is a bit like wiping before going number two.
Maybe that’s why I don’t have any friends.
So they need more boots on the ground? I have boots.
Me, too. I’ve got some extra buoyancy on account of being fat.
While servicing my sailing yacht I dropped a part of the furler in the water while docked. A new piece was stupidly expensive and would take two weeks to get, while I was cruising on a schedule.
So I dropped the anchor and climbed down the chain to look for it. At the end my wife found it. We probably spent a good three hours diving and feeling around in the soft mud for it.
Taistelupari, we call it.
A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: “One Finnish soldier is better than ten Russian”.
The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where Upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: “One Finn is better than one hundred Russian.”
Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence. The calm Finnish voice calls out again: “One Finn is better than one thousand Russians!”
The enraged Russian commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought…
Then silence.
Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, “Don’t send any more men…it’s a trap. There’s two of them.”
“Let’s wait and C”.
DIPSTICK to enable chests in rise of the trial. SEEYA for god mode where the protagonist just walks around with his hand of God yawning at how boring it is when there’s no challenge. CUJO for dog mode.
Also, LONDON and NODNOL to enable/disable fog.
Let me guess. It works the other way around, too?
Suddenly the black population of the United States are oppressed and get deported to South Africa.
It’s not about immigration nor opioids.
He needs to show that he’s a businessman turning towards being profitable.
He can only do so much with reducing spending. He can’t raise taxes. So, tariffs are his beautiful invisible tax on consumer goods that will only hurt the common man.
They are offering a free battery swap if you are affected. Or $50. Or $100 off a new phone.
Sounds like they’re picking the cheap route out of a full recall on a pretty old phone.
Use btrfs-convert to convert ext4 to btrfs.
NTFS is 31 years old and not modern by any standard. Avoid if you care about your data.
Well, sure. If you did it wrong the first time around. For everyone else, just run “btrfs scrub <device>”
Use a modern filesystem that manages file integrity for you.
I use btrfs.
Don’t forget to scrub and checksum your drive before making backups. You don’t want to copy over rotten bits.
Same goes for the backup. And the backup’s backup.
Maybe I can submit a proposal for risc-VI 🤣
No need! You can make your own custom extension! If the silicon doesn’t support it, then you can provide firmware to emulate it.
Do you all know what we import from Denmark? Medication
Ozempic comes to mind. It’s still under patent, so I guess there’s no other source than Novo Nordisk in Denmark.
I won a keg of beer on the entry ticket to a local beer festival.
A local hotel/chateau had organised it. They had failed with their marketing, and managed to pick the same weekend as a much larger beer festival in the same city.
I got ticket #26 on day 1, Saturday. I don’t think they sold more than ten tickets after me that day. I walked past with my dogs the following day and there were like four people there.
Oh, and I also won the demo competition at a local demoparty. First prize was a bag of chips and a brush for doing dishes.
And the 64k intro competition at the biggest demoparty at the time. First prize was a big-ass box of sponsored hardware - graphics cards and processors and stuff.
Finland had to accept responsibility for being invaded by Russia. Also, they had to give away land mass that Russia failed to grab. Also, they had to give up some sovereignty. Also, they had to pay ginormous reparations and sign deals to buy army stuff from Russia.
Nice army stuff, though. I’ve been in a 1995 KRAZ with a wood frame for the driver. Also they don’t have a tap for draining motor oil, because who would expect them yo return from the frontlines?
