Congrats! Check hop water if you haven’t already!

Ah, for some reason I thought you were referring to a Roku stick/box, not a smart TV, my mistake 👍.

How does it stream things/what’s the point of a Roku if it’s not connected to the Internet?

This is simply not true. Starvation isn’t the only thing that kills people - they die of easily treatable medical issues all the time because of lack of health insurance. Unhoused people die of exposure every summer and winter.

In 2021 there was some planning/writing done for a prequel, but I don’t think anything came of it.

That film is having a bit of a cultural comeback, so there’s still hope.

The Grand Canyon! Must seem even grander to an ant

Is “research chemicals” a euphemism or are you literally referring to chemical substances/precursors purchased and used by laboratories that are also available to the public?

Power cut

Are kernel maintainers not unpaid volunteers?

Yeah I had convinced myself that I would only do it for a year and be able to retire much much sooner.

I once applied for a “database admin” job at one of the big credit card companies. The job description was basically “run all our Oracle databases” and the salary was in the mid 2 millions USD, but I assumed that figure was typo’ed or something ( an extra 0 maybe?)

In the interview I learned that there was no typo and it was to be one of the seven people on the planet that run the databases for this credit card processor. They said “if the database goes down then we are losing billions of dollars a minute”.

Anyways I didn’t get the job, but they’re not all underpaid.

My business daddy pays for my Apple machine and it’s great for ssh-ing into various cloud-based Linux boxes.

I used to work for a startup that laid claim to all “ideas” that I had, in or out of working hours, during my period of employment with them.

Corporations are not people, therefore do not have a right to free speech.

I used to work in a brewery and we used hot caustic followed by acid for cleaning most things but some pneumatic (spent) grain systems got pigged in freezing weather to avoid the wet grain freezing into a plug.

Depending on what you’re cleaning and the nature of the pipe (is it smooth or does it contain sharp bends?) you could consider pigging.

I had COVID a couple months ago. I was told to strictly self-isolate for two weeks after my first day of symptoms. That meant not leaving my house, even if masked. I was also told to strictly mask for two weeks following that self-isolation period.

A German once sent a dozen giant rabbits to North Korea in order to kick start a giant rabbit breeding program there. The intent was to help them overcome a famine, but instead the rabbits were all eaten at Kim il Sung’s birthday party.

I’ve never heard of k8s described as a modern implementation of a Linux distro. What makes you say that?

Do you have the questions right now? If so, ask away.
