“take of your pants.”

What’s red and smells like blue paint?

Red paint.

You know, I think if Stallman had put as much thought into the code of HURD as he did the acronym, Linus Torvalds wouldn’t be where he is today.

I recommend Paul Fellows, who has a large catalog of brief astronomy lectures under his “Once Around” series.

Remember when Futurama joked that the iPhone cost $500?

Yeah if 4 people uninstalled the program last time, and 6 people uninstalled it this time, that’s a 150% increase from last time.

I accept your reality and add it to my own.

Pixelfed I think? Though it’s developed by the same guy as whatever the Instagram clone is called so it’s been kind of slow to become usable?

Don’t we have that?

That tracks.

I’m 100% okay with how my Samsung Galaxy handles it: You access the Developer mode by pressing on the phone info screen in the settings for several seconds, and then there’s a switch that allows execution of random .apk files.

“Yes, do as I say.”

If you want those things you need to deal with national, state and municipal governments for contracts.

Saturation diving. It’s my understanding that they actually haul them up to the surface between shifts, they just keep them in a pressurized vessel to keep their bodies at high pressure. They make bank working a fraction of the year, and for good reason.

Go dig a trench the length of every city street in the world, and come back and tell me how easy that was.

It’s kind of funny looking back on albums like that, and the bonus content they would add. It was common early on to write the ToC in such a way that it skipped over a track, so Track 1 would be some ways into the disc, but there was data before “track 1” you could get to by rewinding past 0:00. Later, smarter CD players and especially computer CD-ROM drives wouldn’t do that, so that practice started decreasing. But with computers, it was already commonplace for a video game to take up a small fraction of a CD, and then fill the rest with the soundtrack as red book audio, and CD players could still play the music. So they did that for awhile.

There was a brief moment in the mid-2000s where the record labels were feeling the threat of iTunes, so they tried adding value. I have a 2005 copy of Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet which doesn’t have the Compact Disc Digital Audio mark anywhere on it, because it’s a DualDisc. It’s a CD with half a DVD on its back; so it’s slightly thicker than a standard CD and thus non-conforming to the red book standard, and . The CD side is an otherwise conforming red book audio copy of the album, but the DVD side features a very high quality stereo recording, a “made 20 years after the album was mastered so it’s slightly janky” Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound version with added length, and the four music videos they recorded for the album in glorious “80’s BetaCAM transferred to DVD” 480whatever.

Remember when companies tried to compete on benefits and features?

It is my understanding that iOS does not support Syncthing.

I installed an optical drive in my computer recently, and I was playing with my old CDs, and found that Poodle Hat has a data partition, or whatever the hell you call them on CDs. On which is a 6 minute .mov file that takes up about an 8th of the disc’s space, in which Al thanks the owner of the disc for buying the album “instead of downloading it like some HOOLIGAN!” And then proceeds to joke over some of his own home movies.

I built a MK4S from the kit, and I would recognize it, even without having printed it it’s a memorable part of the build. You’d basically have to have built or upgraded a Prusa printer in the last 2 years to recognize it for what it is. If you hadn’t been introduced to it, do you have any hope of guessing what that’s for?

This statement is technically correct, the best kind of correct.
