Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.
Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.
At my age (sorry dunno yours) everything comes quickly but I agree this, and other tech stuff lately, come on fast these days.
Side note reminds me of neuromancer (book) where it’s described as subcultures can come up and disappear quite fast. Oddly relevant to today even if we can’t plug into the net. It’s a single line in the book so don’t think that’s the focus if you haven’t read it, but I do recommend. Though the prose can’t be difficult sometimes cause sometimes almost written poetic.
Sounds like a reasonable idea for the issue presented. Mean the issue could be on one drive saying the file is there and complete, or many other issues since I don’t know the API in the least.
Yours would be my first guess for sure, it thinks it completed so delete local copy, which is what you’d prefer in that situation, well mostly, I sort of prefer a local working copy but need some other names and the program to recognize thm with then upload on actual save to the cloud storage…I say that and still curse at excel when it says it has a backup copy from a forced reboot, always keep one open heh.
Actually to be fair I hate those storages for that reason so much crap can go wrong without a knowledgeable user it makes things worse. You just hope the program can tell if it did it was done correctly heh and if not then end up clicking the wrong button and it’s all gone.
Local NAS for anything you think you’ll need, random ‘free’ cloud storage as a general backup. Mean I assume the NAS has raid so mostly good without more.
plays fortune son it ain’t me…
That’s pretty much the radio version as well the books were pretty close on those lines.
I listen to the radio version of hitchhiker’s while I go to sleep often, if I managed to hit play in the middle of the whale’s pondering I always back up a bit. It’s one of my favourites of the entire series and not as good when played mid pondering.
Also the line about the bowl of petunias having relevance later is quite amusing to be sure. Though I assume not thought of when written.
Had to check in Simpsons it’s called Funzo S11E9, it’s not as Christmasy as other ones are for sure. I bet you and your friend still tried to play the game that’d have been an adventure for then. I tried to play a Gundam MMO once but it was only in Japanese, so was awkward and didn’t last long but hard to resist a try.
Simpson did the burning of them for one holiday episode. Though may have been later than the furby was around but I barely notice season numbers anymore except to notice if after say 12 when the ones my old self sees as better. Also we have all the holiday ones (well many animated series, separate one for live action sitcoms) in a bag to pull out during Xmas season to watch a themed one, so just pull find it and hit play, no thinking during these holidays… similar for Halloween month.
At a first thought, I’m not even sure it was YouTube but probably, Charlie the Unicorn. I’ve been online too long to remember old YouTube favourites specifically heh. Hell if papa Smurf lick my ass is on YouTube that could beat it unsure of exact years I watched them first well Charlie was 07-08ish if that’s where it was from.
Memory unlocked for Foamy the squirrel but that wasn’t YouTube specifically hah Neuroticaly Yours was the series name, it rocked. Probably shouldn’t re-watch but it fit well mid / latish 2000s.
What an appropriate username for a discussion of animals. Awesome.
Wasn’t a line,Daddy has a credit card? Or similar, not sure I quite caught how our of character that was for anyone remotely typical for Japanese culture.
One of my favourite movies of all time, it’s so beautiful from visuals to the story of a kid learning to accept change.
Huh I just remembered the orders of arithmetic but parentheses trump all so do them first (I use them in even the calculator app). Mean I assume that’s that that says but never learned that acronym is all. Now figuring out categories of words;really does my noodle in sometimes. Cause some words can be either depending on context. Math when it’s written out has (mostly) the same answer. I say mostly because somewhere in the back of my brain there are some scenarios where something more complicated than straight arithmetic can come out oddly but written as such should come out the same.
Lol that’s exactly how I saw it as well. Recursive gets those nesting dolls look in my head, loops are the same size but repeated, even if infinite. Yes even if the code is almost the same since you can write a loop recursively anyways (okay haven’t tested but seems like it’d work mostly fine but not always as clean).
I think the beauty of it is that the joke can be amusing in multiple ways. Those are the best jokes to me, cause I can think of different ways the next time I see them.
It was a favourite growing up (up there’s with Explorers, The Goonies to me back then), I hadn’t watched it in decades till a few years ago. I also thought it held up really well. Besides the exterior spaceship there’s minimal effects anyways (plus cute aliens of course which were practical) it’s more an odd buddy (new friend?) comedy. I still thought what was there was for the ship effects held up better than expected for the time.
Course may be rose tinted glasses and all, but I really enjoyed it last time still, plus time travel is always awesome.
Yup I recall a friend telling me of all these awesome things, not what the things were anymore but articles he read of Fable, and them not being there. He has a habit of over promising features while still making a decent (sometimes awesome) and fun game but it doesn’t help when he talks up about things that aren’t in the released version.
In a world without global connectivity think how much this would mean? Mean he was probably harassing the British so maybe not as much as it could…
I showed it to my gf she laughed, no insecurities when you know though heh. Cause LeBron doesn’t need to perform in the bedroom he does his work on the court, others have to do it in other less spacious rooms without millions watching thank fucking God. No viewers opinions when you’re there. Like a damn a parole hearing each time, they want to critic each bit. But have fun and make sure it ain’t too bad ;)
Hardly it’s nice and juicy and sweet. A great fruit overall. Though just my personal opinion everyone is different.
Cheap computer (I’m Canadian so let’s say these are maple bucks) say $500, what’s a rental $30 a month, so 16ish months before it’s paid off.
I ran a media PC off a $300 computer for years (I can’t recall exactly least 2 maybe 3). If you need more you probably don’t need a cloud one, if you get a cloud one it’s cheaper to buy a cheap computer every 2 years.
It may make a sense to some but I enjoy having my nas backup and separate media PC. Also if Amazon goes down you can’t even access the calculator, least with no Internet there are options at home.
