Oh that’s nice. We visited Germany about 10 years ago and didn’t get international cell service, so we were relying on hotel wifi and other wifi hotspots. This kind of thing would have been great.

Ours was on a wall across from the office, but the wall opened up to the cafeteria just next to it. I recall students sometimes using it during lunch.

Who is actually creating a legitimate Facebook account at this point?

I moderate a few groups on Facebook, and every account I see for new members that was created within the last few years is a spammer. The people who wanted Facebook accounts already have them. Very very few actual human beings are signing up for new legitimate accounts at this point.

Facebook should just close the new account option. They’re working toward AIs talking to each other and won’t need human interaction any more anyway.

“Biden’s economy”

Can’t I grill food? Or cook it on the range? Why do I have to use my oven to make meals?

Same here. I put two in the lights on our porch, and they’ve worked great for at least 2 years now. And we get high and low temperatures here.

These here are some Yankees!

How did a city with such a great airport end up at the bottom of the ocean?

I was living in Georgia when this aired, so it really hit home. My favorite episode by far.

Mine: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ouMV8EhR3Jw

I saw this when it first aired, and I actually rolled off my couch from laughing so hard.

I heard that!

I don’t pay you to sing!

Does this sound like a man who had all he could eat?

Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything!

Or, do what the nearby horse farm does, just head to my neighborhood and leave the horse shit all over the trail and the road and people’s yards!

Seems kind of rude to me, but what do I know.

That’s not an unfair advantage! That’s a totally fair advantage!

I have a computer in the basement that I pretty much only use for Zwift (an online cycling game). For whatever reason it doesn’t have that TPM chip, despite the fact that I bought it in 2021 or so. So it won’t upgrade to Win 11.

But…it turns out Zwift runs great under WINE…so now it runs Debian with WINE. (Which probably wasn’t my best choice - should have gone with something a little more up to date - but it does work.)

I don’t see why what he’s trying to do would be a server change. Seems like a client only change to be able to log into two servers and see the libraries together. Am I missing something?

I can see the issues you’re describing if you were trying to replicate one server to another, though.

Good luck!

Well how did it go?

I used to be huge into college football, planning my weekends around when my teams were playing. I drifted away for a few years after they instituted the “targeting” penalty; in particular, there was a game where it was called twice on one drive, one was outright wrong (and overturned upon review*), and the other was borderline. It wasn’t a decision to protest; it was more of a “this isn’t important to me any more” kind of thing.

*It was overturned, but in that first year of the rule, the 15 yard penalty still counted. The player that committed the potential foul was simply allowed to remain in the game. (They have changed this rule since then.)

To be clear, I’m not in favor of people being injured. It was just that targeting penalty that made me realize that football was never going to be a safe game. No sport is completely safe, obviously; there’s always a risk of serious injury. But football seems especially designed to inflict injury, as opposed to other sports where the injuries are more incidental. And that scandal where the New Orleans (I think) NFL team was giving bounties for hits on specific players did not improve my opinion at all.

These days, we’ll watch football games if we don’t have anything else going on or whatever, but it’s not a high priority. We did watch some of the super bowl - in that it was on TV while we were reading or working on paying bills, etc. - but we definitely didn’t stay up late or anything like that for it. There’s not much else on TV during the super bowl anyway.

I don’t see you with a Fungineering degree!

I’m at Disney this week, so Fungineering is on my mind.
