Yeah I spent a week in south east France. Best trip I have ever been on. People were so nice. Paris was the only unfriendly place and It wasn’t bad.

Great expression.

To be fair a lot of human translators don’t bother to be accurate or capture wordplay. Some of the translations for netflix are so bad.

My wife was flying into Regan last Monday and they had to abort the first landing because there was still a plane on the runway.

Hey my 50’ garden hose extension cord does a job nothing else can do.

For one thing stop the Kratom. It’s highly problematic in general but weight loss is a common side effect. General stimulation without energy reserves is also a common side effect leading to dizziness.

For food try a Shooter’s sandwich.

If you have use of an outlet for an hour or so before lunch rice cooker meals can make a great hot lunch that only needs to be plugged in before lunch.

Getting groups to go along with your stupid minor lies is the first step. That way when you start doing the bigger important lies they are already used to just going along with your lies.

This is straight from the authoritarian play book and Trump is not doing this without purpose.

So yeah the bird was me. But back in the day there was linux with a bunch of config files and windows with the registry.

It could be a pain to deal with config files but it was nowhere near as bad a dealing with the gigantic mess that was the windows registry. So someone trying to move linux away from one of the things that made it better then windows to a windows like system seemed like a horrible idea.

Combine that with the main systemd guy coming off as a bit of a jerk online and the resistance is understandable.

The everybody is a perfect logician part means no one gets it wrong and no one make a guess.

They also don’t say the color of their eyes when they leave. They can just use logic to figure it out.

There are some other problems with this versions wording though. Usually you need to specify that the speaker doesn’t lie.

Before I knew any of the horrible stuff about him I still couldn’t get into his books. There is a focus on style and tone at the expense of narrative and plot. That just doesn’t work for me at all.

As an engineer you learn to be very careful about what you say to non engineers.

A trivial example.

What if we make change x?

It’ll make some things harder and some things easier.

One week later.

Why are you having problems? You said doing x would make things easier.

More complicated example.

Can this be used for real time control?

Define real time.

Just answer the question.

I can’t it’s a bad question. I need to know what you are trying to control.

Cells make too many of them to not have a purpose. There is a large energy cost to manufacturing 10k-100k per cell. That’s enough for selection to remove them if they were useless.

What’s probably going on is they have an important but uncommon purpose. Like a fire extinguisher. They are in most buildings but a lot of people will never see a situation where one is needed.

I’d love to see muppets do Hellraiser. Kermi has such sights to show you. YAAAAAAAYYYY.

'Allo 'Allo!: “The gateau from the chateau.”

I love jokes that are one huge setup. The series in general is great for that as each episode starts with an absurd but accurate recap.

Makes sense. He wasn’t bringing them with him. Knowing you were being left behind makes capturing him and trying to trade him to the rebels for amnesty tempting.

I’m a fan of cleave which can mean to split in two or to stick together. Each meaning has a different root.

The Greeks are expert at trolling the Italians.

They pushed the stakes so high that when the fights are just everyone punching and kicking each other it’s stupid and silly.

It always makes me think of the reenactment of the battle of Pearl Harbor.

I have my old laserdisk player and a few LDs.

Totally agree about Cumberbatch.
