A spoon is not a screwdriver though. It will function as one for a flathead, but if it’s a phillips or robbie you’re shit out of luck, a hammer will still drive those (poorly)

Depends on the drive of the screw; if it’s a flathead, the spoon is probably better

Eh. Overseas? Definitely not. If my home is invaded? You bet your ass I’m fighting the invaders.

The best book is either Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, or Fine Structure by Sam Hughes.

Oh, you meant programming books. Maybe still try Sam Hughes, it’ll probably be more blog post than book, though

Edit: You might also like Ra by Sam Hughes; it’s magic as a field of science/engineering, and spells have programming-like syntax. Spoiler: ‘magic’ is not actually magic

Only way would be shenanigans with copy-on-write and deduplication; when it’s done seeding, copy it elsewhere on the same filesystem (which will use no space and be instant, because it’s just making a pointer to the original). Then make your modifications to the new version

Not nowadays with the DRM they use. Back in the actual-film days it was doable, and called a telecine

Bikes. It’s always bikes

‘chaos’ is the correct word; anarchy is not chaos, despite the ruling class’ attempt to conflate the two

And that’s how you get the Thompson hack

Right? Anarchy is exactly what Israel and Palestine need, and this ain’t it

shakes

Lol, McDonald’s doesn’t have shakes. Sure, it’s on the menu, but you need ice cream for shakes, and the ice cream machine is broken

Naw. Religion’s a useful tool for assholes, but it’s not what makes them assholes

abuse is exacerbated by the general opioid crisis in the USA

And also specifically by the war on drugs

Streaming to someone is distributing

Of course it’s a crime (or at the very least illegal, but a civil matter), you’re distributing pirated media.

Are you going to get caught? No.

Well, not exactly

Now do the USA

I’ve found a couple plugs “upgraded” to 3-prong by jumping the load and ground together. That made for a fun firework show when my metal fan touched something metal. Even the landlord was impressed by that stupidity.

Ah, the good old reverse polarity bootleg ground.

Fun fact: RPBG is the one fault that those plug-in outlet testers can’t recognize

Edit: Wait, no, that would be hot bootleg ground, they should catch that. RPBG has the hot and neutral switched, and also a bootleg ground to the neutral that’s actually hot

Reminds me of a story about magic

I doubted the blow, but it could be true; turns out the Columbian Exchange started around 50 years before the Church of England broke from Catholicism
