“Melts down”

Yup, not reading that…

I assume that at most we’re talking about a couple of asshats posting their frustration on Twitter.

I’ve done both. No need to grovel, but you can call me “your excellence”

Disclaimer: I don’t know, and I have no particular k owledge in this field, I’m only reasoning here…

I think those four directions are natural to use regardless of culture, based on our senses and bodies. There are things you can see, and things you can’t, namely in front of you and behind you. And your references to the sides would naturally be your hands, where most people can distinguish right as dominant. These would serve as simple reference points in terms of directions, so the question is, if your bodies were different, for example asymetric, would our directions also be?

Imagine of we had four ears, two forward and two back, could that result in eight basic directions? What would it take for us to have three?

Still four directions, but it’s interesting that they use an absolute point of reference as opposed to the more common relative ones.

Same here, except on servers, where I prefer debian.

Because I’m old and tired, and I just want to install and be up and running in as short of a time as possible without dicking around.

You can. But the prefilled one implies they’re already OK with the terms. Adding/changing stuff requires their approval. If both parties agree to the altered version, then there’s no problem.

I doubt they’ll allow a special case just for you, though.

I have returned additions/corrections to employment contracts and had them accepted. My usually go to is to change the overly broad “we own all IPRs developed by you” to “we own all IPRs that come from work related tasks or as a direct furtherance thereof”. If they want to own anything I developed outside work for my own projects then that’s fine, but then they’d have to pay extra.

I like the idea, and might get back into it (restarting), but previous time I started it I was thrown off by the overuse of metaphors. Maybe it’s just an introduction-thing, but I found it very cumbersome to always have to read “The thing was X, like and Y that had undergone Z” instead of just “the thing was worn and green”.

Yes, I know that writers should show rather than tell, but when the reader has to spend most of the reading time parsing metaphors that could’ve instead just been a factual statement, it becomes a very cumbersome read.

But I will give it another go. I like the sci-fi classics, and I suspect I’d like this one too

Norwegian:

“Fuming” and “melts down”. Yeah, I’m not reading that article…

Maritime radio has a lot of French in it

Not much these days. While it used to be “everything”, now it’s:

• Http/https
• dns
• Wireguard
• Minecraft
• beegfs

Chickens are pretty easy as long as they have access to the outdoors. Keep topping up the chickfeed, keep any foxes and cats away, and they’ll be OK as long as the climate is on your (their) side.

Cows and grain. Mostly because I already know how.

I may be a well paid tech guy today, but I’ll always be a hick and a yokel at heart.

This is the way. At least half of it.

On top of that, you use umask and add a sticky bit, so that everything new will have the right group bit set - no need for a cronjob.

That does make me slightly less pessimistic, but the target audience remains the same.

I’m having a hard time imagining that the end-result would be anything other than a watered down copy that has been focus tested to fail completely at hilighting the societal differences between the people upstairs and downstairs.

I bet the first half would be overly goofy, and the second half more akin to slapstick. I have not a shred of belief that they’ll be able to capture tiny details such as the head of the house literally stepping over someone bleeding out (or was she already dead?) to focus on his son.
