Listing a bunch of decaprio movies and not adding Romeo and Juliet feels wrong. Everyone should experience it at least once.

Everyone going the biggest and best…

I suggest:

Both versions of House on Haunted Hill (evolution of the campy horror genre)

Both versions of Black Christmas (see horror tropes become them and the retelling)

Jason X (Jason the undying killer but in space!)

Teeth (if you needed a movie to really drive home that SA is bad)

Trainspotting (if you needed a movie to really drive home that drug addiction is bad)

The Room (a detailed instructional of how not to write a movie)

Super Mario Bros 1993 (watch as both the main characters appear to become more drunk as the story goes on because their actors actually were) … And the new one I guess. It’s ok but not as entertaining on a meta level

DOA Dead or Alive (possibly the most true to source video game movie and a fun martial arts movie)

Patch Adams (if you can watch the whole thing twice, you’re better than me. That third act is brutal emotionally for me)

Slaxx (do not read anything about it. Go in blind. Enjoy the layers of what the actual fuck is going on)

Dungeons and Dragons 2000 (about as accurate a oneshot as I’ve ever seen. Also, Jeremy Irons being peak Jeremy Irons)

What the bleep do we know (Science! Physics! Learning!)

Wicker man (Cage version during the height of him taking literally any role to pay off debts. Watch him overact and punch a woman in a bear suit)

Romeo and Juliet (decaprio version. Shakespeare but in modern day Miami. They do not update the language to current English.)

I’ve got more but that should be good for a few days worth of watching.

May I recommend either duck or dolphin

I’m remote so either I trust the user or push commands. I know which I prefer

Between the antics, it was too real

“please call so and so, they’re having issues with their browser”

Call the user, they are out for the day. Leave message to call back

Either never hear back or the issue was not browser related

Either way, tell the original ticket creator to have the person having the issue call us if they want prompt service

That’s how one becomes IT

We have a running leader board for uptime. Servers don’t count. That said, I’ve seen some people who think they actually are turning it off but the machine just enters sleep mode. I only trust

shutdown /r /t 0

So uhhhh no one else read Stephen King’s work or the Child Called It series as a kid huh?

Only reason I keep a Windows install on an SSD for my laptop: my schools remote test proctoring service only works with Windows and Mac. I normally run pop_os on it but switch to the windows when I have to take a test.

This tells me that you know very little about how in control of designs engineering teams are. 99/100 times it’s not up to the engineers on what the specifications or limitations are for any given design.

Typically, sales says they’ll have something that fits whatever crazy need no matter if a perfectly suitable design already exists if they consulted the engineers or shop, typically to get the sale. Engineering is then forced to adjust the design because nothing existing will fit.

Funny enough, it’s not the engineers that are doing it. Left to their own devices without ridiculous constraints like “someone else is doing it this way so we need you to do something that sets us apart” or “you can’t look at what everyone else is doing”, engineers will do it the laziest way they can… By copying what others are doing and essentially making it standard.

I see your point but I counter with Neil Gaiman.

Oh for sure on all points.

I was just saying that the intensive folding process wasn’t nearly as necessary for the euro smiths. Especially, as you said, they had more than enough carbon sources to make up for any deficits in their iron sources.

Once the smith turns the raw material into steel, there was very little difference beyond what the final product needed in hardness/flexibility.

I was under the impression the folding technique of Japanese blades was due to the low carbon content and the process of folding included adding carbon to the iron as well as incorporating it throughout the metal.

European iron ore already had larger amounts of carbon which meant the folding and adding carbon process wasn’t required to create a serviceable edge.

Except for almost every device I want to put custom firmware on, apparently.

Hi. I grew up in a city with named streets. One street can have four names depending on where you’re at on it. You’ve never had to deal with directing someone down a city full of that, apparently.

On the other hand, we have an area with lettered streets. L comes before M, N, O, P, etc. If you’re on F and need to get to C Street, you know you need to go up 3 blocks. Meanwhile, if you’re on Johnson and need to get to North York, you have to know that it’s the same street and changes names in 7 blocks.

Honestly, get the flux and a hot air station instead, imo. Then again, I prefer being able to have control over where the heat is going instead of reflowing everything at once

Might as well add some picos to scratch that itch. And the rabbit hole that micro controllers bring… next thing you know, your work desk is also a solder station, a hot air station, PCB design, circuit design, and you’ve got two extra diy printers in various state of being built/rebuilt

I don’t have a problem, you have a problem

Honestly not sure which is worse. Peafowl or guinea fowl
