A Phlaming Phoenix

Yeah, that was the dominant form of music distribution at the time.

So you haven’t seen, for example, Cowboys From Hell by Pantera or Weathered by Creed, then? I don’t think Vs is a particularly bad album cover, especially by comparison to those. The photography is fine. Maybe it’s not your average Hipgnosis cover, but it’s ok.

Custom built. Right now we’re running around the Nebalich area. Before that we were investigating a million-year-old tree in Ephremon infused with nanobots and the nefarious religious leader who sprung a cult up around it.

I’ve been running a Numenera table for a few years. Love it.

It means what you’re building fires a projectile. The instructions are warning you not to shoot your eye out.

I did this swap recently as well, on Fedora. I had to do literally nothing, as the drivers were already available and installed. I uninstalled akmod-nvidia to tidy up, but I suppose even that wasn’t strictly required.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Jorch is only 17 but sometimes he can score you a six pack anyway.

For real, get high and go to a glow in the dark mini golf course. There’s one in every failing mall in the USA.

Good advice. I’ll add that any time you have to parse command line arguments with any real complexity you should probably be using Python or something. I’ve seen bash scripts where 200+ lines are dedicated to just reading parameters. It’s too much effort and too error prone.

And you gotta dump your potential explosives out right in the middle of everyone else bundled up close in the security checkpoint.

Here’s what I’m talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox#Comparison

The XBox One came out in 2013, but then starting in 2016, they started releasing a series of other XBoxes with incremental upgrades. The “One S” and “One X” within a year of each other, then the “Series S” and “Series X” in 2020. It looks like the CPU and GPU get upgraded along the way, but none of them is nearly as powerful as the PC I’ve had through that time period, nor as capable considering I can do more than play games on it.

Didn’t they release several different versions of the Xbox in that time? Like technically the same “generation” or whatever but upgrading a few minor things like storage and such?

What if my $1500 PC built 5 years ago has been more capable than multiple generations of consoles that have been released since? My brother has bought like 3 XBoxes in the same amount of time and my PC still outpaces it by a pretty wide margin.

I would be happy to at least read that resume among an ocean of dull ones that all read the same.

Same. I’ve hired for a number of entry level DevOps type jobs, have read through hundreds of resumes, and have never once clicked on a LinkedIn profile. I don’t know what point it would serve, considering I expect it to be every bit the carefully manicured presentation that the resume itself already is. If you give me a GitHub link I might take a look, but I don’t hold it against anyone for not giving me that either.

Sure, but the Christian/MAGA view of morality is a shit one that I don’t subscribe to. They can fuck off with their moralizing of my decisions.

It’s ironic (I hope). He was an awful president. Until Trump, he was sort of the model of the dumbest a president could get.

Archaic? I think we use this word in modern English, as in, “to cop a feel.”

I don’t think that’s true? The song is all power chords. Verse goes C5/F5/C5/A5 and the chorus is just C5/A5. So the verse doesn’t end on the same chord the chorus starts on (C5 vs A5), and the verse doesn’t start on the same chord the chorus ends on (A5 vs C5). It would be true to say the chorus and verse start and end on the same chords.
