Also, tell my younger self not to buy the lifetime subscription to the local BBS and just pay yearly, because this Internet thing is going to get faster and less buggy.

It more closely follows the UNIX philosophy–Do one thing, and do it well.

By asking the developers to split their focus, we would be admitting that a less secure and/or less reliable product is acceptable.

Political extremists aren’t always the best at differentiating between correlation and causation. Let’s see how this plays out.

Am I old if I read BTRFS as butterface?

Pro-Tip: Until they recently dropped the misleading product, “Unscented” Dove soap had perfume in it. Sensitive Skin Dove soap does not.

Do those things have the same Return On Investment?

Some times you’ve got to spend money to make money.

No way.

I received opiates after abdominal surgery only after I explained why my pain level was only stated as a 3 or 4 out of 10, if 10 was “The worse pain [I] could possibly imagine.”

2/10 is manageable temporarily but not chronically.

3/10 was the limit where I could hide it. It requires a lot of energy to maintain composure.

4/10 was where movement was restricted.

I can’t quite remember what five and six were.

7/10 means I can’t form complete sentences uninterrupted.

8/10 means I have mostly lost the ability to communicate and I begin to hallucinate.

9/10 means I am unable to understand where I am or what’s happening to me. It’s around this point where I have blacked out.

Never ask someone with a healthy imagination to work on a scale where the limit is the worst they can imagine. Besides, is the scale linear or logarithmic?

Some background for the unfamiliar:

“OP” is the abbreviation for “Ordo Prædicatorum”, or “Order of Preachers” in English, aka the Dominicans.

Saint Dominic is the founder of their order.

Ditto, but only because it seems more reliable than the windows client. I didn’t bother submitting a bug report because I can’t properly articulate the issue.

Thank you for looking at what I wrote and seeing humour rather than malice.

Your tea bag…

No, it’s not, because I use something other than tea bags.

That’s you. That’s what you wrote.

Awesome. On a similar note, there is a time of the day at a certain part of the year when our TV seems to receive random remote control button pushes. I know it’s solar infrared but hadn’t considered it may be a reflection instead of direct radiation.

I’m having difficulty understanding your post but you’re on the right track with Active PFC causing issues with UPSs.

Hercule?

Ditto for the Y6239 problem for what must be a dozen of pieces of software that use the hebrew calendar, when it switches to five digit years.

Exactly. The baddies are called ‘terrorists’. The term the media uses to describe good terrorists is ‘rebels’ and sometimes ‘freedom fighters’.

Please do explain, because I seriously grew up thinking mainline religion minus reason equals biblical literalism (aka fundamental religion) but I’m open to believe that may be one of these scenarios.
