In a different hemisphere than my ancestors, my surname translates to “Go Fuck Yourself”.

Found that out while working in a restaurant staffed by speakers of that language. Thought they were fucking with me but I googled it.

Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.

This is bad practice.

More accurately it should look something like this:

# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys

def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
    # Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
    print(outPhrase)
    return None

if __name__=="__main__":
    # Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
    sayHelloWorld()
    sys.exit(0)
else:
    # Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
    sys.exit(1)

Does DisplayPort also support audio?

Yes, DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features. DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.

That’s a bit obtuse though. I prefer my angles to be 90°. That’s just right.

You never wondered about that person at the flea market selling Tide and baby formula?

There absolutely is a “black market”.

Well, more efficient packaging and shipping is a pretty good goal in general. Although what’s better is just…not having to ship pallets of paper around, it’s 20 fucking 24.

I don’t think “minimum wage worker gets penalized for something entirely outside their control and the workers innocent family suffers as a result” is that much of a stretch. Sadly.

Congratulations, you just made a huge mess for some barely-above- minimum wage worker to deal with.

They are going to have to take time to clean up all that glitter or they’ll get written up for keeping a sloppy workspace. But because it’s glitter and got everywhere, it’s gonna take a long time and they are going to miss their performance metrics. That’s a writeup.

Now they are on the chopping block and their kid is starving and wearing rags to school because you thought it’d send a message to mail them glitter, and literally nobody higher than the mailroom boss even knows that it happened. Good work.

Probably because a lot, if not the majority of LGBT couples are DINKs. Makes it a lot easier to focus on career/education when kids aren’t around.

Multiple wives might get you greater revenue but they have higher expenses.

Men, if you want more net savings, don’t get multiple wives. Just get one husband. Problem solved. The gays figured out how to game the wage gap long ago. Lesbians still have trouble though.

Yeah but the ∆T between cooling and heating is way different.

Here in MA, we cool as much as Outdoor - 30F, but we often heat Outdoor + 50F. Sometimes more. Drafts introduced by a poor seal (which is often the case with window units) would be a big deal, no?

As s far as window units go, one of the biggest losses is in insulation around the window.

Those that have window units do so because there’s really no alternative.

Would bi-directional window-mount ACs be effective heaters, given how much loss a window unit sees through drafts?

I spent $10k on a whole home battery and it got me 1/3 of my average daily power use.

Good thing you have a sun for most of the other 2/3.

We love AC. We also realize that it’s easier tod add layers than to take them off, when out in public.

Bring a hoodie? 🤷

If you can’t pick seasons you just need to pick yourself up by the bootstraps. No reason anybody can’t pick seasons.

Somebody once told me, this dude was gonna blow me. I’m not the toughest plow in the field…

There’s proctored private resale of IPv4.

A lot of orgs (mine included) are sitting on large chunks of IPs they don’t need (we have a /16 and several /24s) because they adopted early, got an ASN and prefix assigned by ARIN, and their addressing scheme is now so disjointed and scattered that they can’t sell off anything bigger than a /22, and that makes setting up BGP a pain. Juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

That’s just one loopback address.

I could list 2^24 IPv4 loopback addresses.

Because SecOps still thinks NAT is security, and NetOps is decidedly against carrying around that stupid tradition.
