I don’t know specifically, but generally hybrids need to be in the same genus. Tomatoes are nightshades and I think cannabis is in the bamboo side of things.

I side bet infected lab monkeys every time, just in case. Like playing 0 at the roulette table.

When I was a kid you couldn’t choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted or tabletop. They were leased from the phone company when you paid for a phone line.

My grandmother kept her bakelite rotary phone until she couldn’t call her doctor without a touchtone.

My grandfather had a rule for his kids, and my mom passed it down to me.

You can’t have a license until you can:

• Check and fill all the vehicle fluids
• Perform an oil change
• Change a tire
• Drive a manual transmission
• Change belts and hoses

I learned on a stick. I even did some learning on my uncle’s beetle with a broken clutch (they were reasonably optional on the OG Bug). And I have not been behind of the wheel of one since. Still glad I learned all that stuff.

The ancient Mayan calendar was right about 2012, its just a slower process than we thought.

I don’t know the motivations of all the people who were working but I’m willing to bet Graham Bell did to bother employees during their off hours.

I walked into to work this morning to a dev IM needing permissions. Instead of telling me what the error message said, which would contain the allowance needed, he needed he sent me a screenshot of what chatGPT said he needed. GPT effectively said the solution was to let him assume any privileged access policy that exists.

I think security teams are fine for a while.

Given how much time I spend actually looking at the screen while the show/movie is on, it might as well be in ca. 2000 RealVideo 160x120 resolution.

This one has never worked for me, because if I see a long number without commas or periods I have to stop and figure out. I couldn’t hope to read that number until I solved to puzzle of whether is started with “million” or “billion.”

It looks still to me

The year of the Linux Desktop doesn’t happen when people shut up about Linux.

You save a lot of money over the decades by wringing every penny of value from all your electronics.

Replace things?

Virtually every computing device I’ve ever owned is somewhere in the house I’m in. I sold my first PC (a Leading Edge 8088 IBM clone) and I still regret it. It’d have been hard to get hooked into my homelab, but I would have figured it out.

I drink unsweetened tea and diet cola all day, I don’t know what my body is complaining about. You know what, fine here’s half a jar of peanut butter on a pop tart!

You always braise rodent knees. Did Arby’s parents teach them nothing!

Once upon a time they insisted that Amazon had independent decision making on their providers when they were needing new infrastructure and they “always decided that AWS suited them best.”

Shockingly (/s), they stopped making that claim right about the same time they started admitting that their biggest users are all under Private Pricing Agreements.

So Roblox is the only of those companies that can handle proper region failover if us-east-1 shits the bed? You young ops have gotten soft! Learn to live by ChaosMonkey or die by the Gorilla.

“That’s a problem for future me, that guy’s a jerk anyway.”

the next morning: “Past me is an asshole.”

I still think the web took a wrong turn when NCSA Mosaic first stated supporting inline images.

Yeah. Obviously that’s what console.debug() is for.
