What does coffee have to do with anything?

Same, also autistic. There are very few people I don’t dislike touching me.

It also depends where people touch me. Shake my hand: that’s okay; touching my head/hair, big no. Haircuts are super uncomfortable.

TOS

Here (.nl) it’s a minimum of 3 years for the lowest ranking cops (vocational degree), depending on rank/function there is also a 4 year bachelors degree and a 5 year masters.

In a MAME machine maybe, but the original arcade cabinets all have custom hardware.

Yeah, the hardware in a console is mass produced, the hardware in an arcade cabinet is made in relatively small batches. Mass producing something is always a lot cheaper per unit due to economies of scale.

I’ll be available 24/7 when they pay me 24/7.

What if you’re a masochist? Wouldn’t it be better to treat others as they would like to be treated?

Or car to carpet

Or fun to funeral

That’s Java, not Javascript. Java is to javascript as ham is to hamster.

I’m an IT person professionally, and I use Fedora as my daily driver.

Ah, Fedora, that brings back memories. We used to call it RootHat back in the day when it was still RedHat. It was what all the first-time Linux users used before they graduated to Debian or Slackware. They would use root as they day to day account, hence the name.

Havent used it in forever. Is it still as big a pile of shit as it was in the 90’s ?

I’ve seen 1600+ myself.

I’d say “old” RAID could be dead if you have proper backups and have the ability to replace a defect drive fast in the case uptime is crucial.

RAID and backups serve different purposes. Backups are to prevent data loss, RAID is to prevent downtime in case of hardware failure. They are not interchangeable.

There is a bit of a difference between buikding a realistic looking generic town and, say, building an exact replica of the Kremlin.

E-books. I read too many books for physical to be practical.

It’s the same in the Netherlands, but the notice period for the employer is always double that of the employee.

Which is weird because I’m not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

Not weird at all. It’s much easier to run fiber in a small town than in a large city. Cities are denser and more crowded. It’s also more crowded underground. In a city you might have to close streets, you need to be more careful when digging because of all the other stuff underground.

All that makes it cheaper and easier to install fiber in small towns or smaller, less dense cities.

The learning curve is a bit steep, but for me it’s part of the fun. You control all the variables, which kind of forces you to learn about the whole espresso making process. Once you got the workflow down it’s not too bad.

Don’t get it if you expect a quick cup of espresso in the morning. Do get it if you like to fiddle with things and want go the extra mile to get the most out of your espresso.

The longer story is it’s actually best to stop charging your phone at 80 percent unless you really need the extra juice, because any time your phone spends above that is potentially damaging, but that tends to be hard to deal with for most people.

iPhones handle this automatically if you enable ‘optimized charging’. They charge to 80% and keep it there until just before you need to take the phone off the charger (they base this on your alarm and some on-device machine learning stuff to predict when you will pull it off the charger in the morning). It then charges to 100% just in time, so the battery spends as little time as possible above 80%.
