I half expected this to end with jumper cables. Quite a ride, though.

Just a small nit, I would say ‘much’ cheaper or ‘dramatically’ cheaper. Exponential refers to rate od change, not magnitude of change. Something increasing by 10% a year is exponentially increasing, something that’s just gotten bigger could be increasing linearly or not at all.

It’s pretty heartwarming seeing all his friends come together to help him get his shot. Dude is obviously terrified and struggling. Bravery is more about facing your fear than it is about objective danger.

I do love it when you can justify using a different homophone than the etymologically correct one.

“eggcorns”. You can really do some fun ones. For all intensive purposes, they’re pretty much equivalent.

Good luck getting them to swear fealty to HM the King of Canada.

This wouldn’t be them joining Canada, it would be New California and friends.

The book was a comedy as well. Tons of great dry jokes. The two are not mutually exclusive.

For clarity I use semi for 2x a period and bi for every two periods. I think everyone should. :)

I make sourdough bread biweekly-ish. Freezing it (after it’s had a 24-36 hour curing period) is fine. Toasts right back up.

Swearing an oath “in vain” is not allowed. Ie, don’t swear in the holy name and then go back on your word. As I understand it. That would be the mortal sin.

34k? Jesus. They could double that and it might be in a reasonable ballpark for support positions.

[Opens lemmy the 20th time today] Ahhhhhhhhhhh, that’s the stuff. I was entirely too productive!

Oh gods… the man really is an idiot. :( At least Harper was shrewd.

He may be too dumb to be effective politically, I hope.

I wish they’d put the number of standard drinks on the can. Having to calculate it for a 500ml 6% drink or a 150ml 8% or whatever gets tedious.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

I put it in the “teddy bear” category. If we see people with a teddy bear at the carnival, we’ll try the games

Spam us with getrich quick schemes and we fall in line…

Wow!

That is not a fast process. Plus solar insolation won’t change. It won’t make up for the losses in the USA.

Also the moth. Insect flour.

I don’t follow. We have .99 prices in Canada. Debit and credit pays exact, and the change is just rounded.

The penny just fails as a currency. You can’t buy anything with it. When we had them ten years ago, I would just dump them into recycling bins if i wasn’t at home near the penny bucket.
