I joined Zwift today! I already did utility cycling, but it’s mostly using an e-bike so doesn’t provide all that much exercise. I think the gamification will help me stay motivated enough to actually do rides for fitness.

Advent of Code

One year I hope to remember that’s a thing that exists when it isn’t already several days into the month.

(Whoops, I got him mixed up with Brad Pitt, apparently. I guess you could say he was a figment of my imagination.)

What is Fight Club?

IMO it’s not the “look” that makes TOS seem dated (although I guess it doesn’t help); it’s something about the direction/dialogue/story pacing. It just “feels” like an old show the same way a '60s sitcom feels different from a '90s sitcom, even without any attempt at futuristic sets or whatever.

I, for one, vote for starting with TNG, a couple of seasons in.

Uh… you do know that people don’t literally save a bunch of Linux ISOs, right? It’s a euphemism for collecting less legit things, like pirated media or porn.

By the time you want to install the same distro again, it’s likely that a new version will be out and you’ll want to re-download it anyway.

Hopefully they pick a different comet that arrives a lot sooner!

Why the state of the industry is shit, in a nutshell.

Not only do I expect it to produce nonsensical advice that results in combat losses and other negligence, I also expect it to be used as an excuse to deflect blame for war crimes.

Mine is version 2.41.0, obtained from F-Droid.

To be fair, it could be some kind of user error – maybe the option does exist, but I’m not seeing it for some reason – but I don’t really think so.

Edit: Ah! It’s a setting! Settings →General → Other → Share Links. Mine is set to “Voyager App (vger.to)”, but there are also the other options you mentioned, as well as “ask” (which is presumably what yours is set to).

I’m pretty sure vger.to is the default (perhaps for new installs – I changed phones relatively recently), which is unfortunate, since I definitely didn’t change that setting.

My Voyager app only seems to offer the vger.to link. It’s a recent change I’m not happy about.

Yes.

And the polish sausage, and the sauerkraut topping for the hot dog.

Who the fuck in this thread said anything about not voting? Be specific and cite the comments.

Or quit your bullshit and STFU.

Also, fuck off with your racist and sexist lies about why people didn’t vote for the goddamn prosecutor who sprinted right as hard as she could.

That’s not a reasonable requirement of a salaried position. People might think it is, but they’ve been tricked.

Needing to work extra long hours occasionally during extra-busy times is one thing, but it should be balanced with being able to stop working early during slow times.

Or at least a manual that actually contained substantive information.

More specifically, he’s literally a traitorous Russian asset.

Reminder that it will never be over unless was actually take action to beat them. North Korea, for instance, is into its third generation of dictator with no end in sight. The idea that the regime is doomed and we just have to wait it out is pure wishful thinking.

Speaking of “wok hei” and “white guys on YouTube”, Alton Brown’s “cooking over a chimney starter” technique sounded to me like the next best alternative to having a proper industrial stove or big outdoor propane burner. Can you confirm or refute?

…my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily…

That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.
