That’s my understanding. It’s a long time ago but I believe they bought out Sun when they were facing bankruptcy.

If they’d released the x86 version of Solaris when it became clear that SPARC couldn’t keep up with Intel and AMD that could have been a possibility.

Solaris was such an amazing OS.

Well I am delighted. €13.1B + the 1.2 in interest represents what will be a bump of 16% of total tax revenue compared to 2023 (€88B total). There are lots of things that money can be used for.

I heard about a guy once, who was a POW, and his friend wanted him to keep a watch for his son so he shoved it way up there.

The reference for the younger among us.

Are you using a VPN maybe?

Nailed it.

Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!

he claims his mouth can’t be numbed

This is a thing. My wife has to get lots of extra shots of the gum numbing stuff. Her first dentist as a kid didn’t believe her that she could still feel and it caused her huge trauma.

Congratulations. :) You’ve many more to come (hugs that is lol).

The best are the random ones when you’ve had a bad day like we all occasionally do. It all just melts away. Enjoy!

I have a lot of kids and I work hard at being a good dad so I get a lot of hugs and occasional unprompted “love you”. That is the truest luxury to me.

Oh nice. Thank you. Installed.

My wife and one of my kids is a lefty. I’ve kinda grown used to half looking out for it in others but only idly. It was fun watching each of the kids to see if any of them would be.

A friend of mine dropped an absolute bomb one day that I’ll never forget: “There’s only right handed and wrong handed”. Definitely more than 20 years ago now but I never forgot it because I laughed so hard.

Serial killers everywhere taking note at the excitement levels in this thread.

That’s fascinating. If you don’t mind me asking what percentage would you say were angry? And where were you knocking? (Approximately).

I worked in a call centre for a summer (no hard sell but it was an awful job) and location and politeness were directly correlated.

I’ve only had one JW call to my door. I’m atheist a long time now. Well over thirty years but we had a very nice interaction. He called back a second and third time, bless his heart.

No worries. Yeah the article is great. They did go to some lengths to try to get to the bottom of it in fairness. Those BBC Verify articles are always absolutely spot on.

That all started from one news outlet that quickly shut it down but the far right ran with it like a baton at the Olympics.

BBC did a great BBC verify article on it.

It’s not just former POTUS though, it’s presidential candidate also. It honestly looks like a gargantuan fuck up.

Brace yourself…450 feet, not yards. It’s a reasonable distance for anyone with a good rifle, scope and experience.

Apparently the shooter was rejected from his school rifle club and asked not to come back.

Cool video!

I appreciate the effort so thank you. That’s not the one I saw but the idea is very similar.

The one I saw was much larger and involved ladders but this definitely gets the idea across.

Edit: just watched that video through. Can’t sleep here and that’s pushing me into “get up for snack” territory. Looks delicious.
