And the study was even proven wrong in the 17th century. A finite amount of monkeys already produced Shakespeare in a finite amount of time; it took roughly 55 million years.

Source: Primates show up in the fossil records, dating to roughly 55mill years. And Shakespeare’s complete works were most likely completed by William Shakespeare, a famous decendant of said primates.

This is what russian “liberation” looks like.

I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with my landlord harvesting my vomit as rent.

“I’m eating it, I promise it’s not a sex thing.”

This is what SQL took away from us. Never forget.

I would argue that multimedia came before win95. You can see many sound+video+more integrations on program-level before then (The installer for Command&Conquer is a legendary example. There’sa reason why the first setting the installer asks of you is your soundcard details.)

But it was with win95 the concept was embraced by an operating system geared towards it. And that’s what allowed for many of the whacky UI designs of media players that came not long after.

Yup. As someone who’s worked a lot on ships all over the world, I can tell you that waves can be deceiving. It can look like everything is normal, but suddenly the ships roll and pitch will perfectly time a slightly larger swell which then gets to wash in over deck.

It is worth noting that the ships themselves have no problem handling this. They’re designed so that any water that washes over the deck gets drained out and doesn’t go into the interior. Whoever is on those decks is another story though. Just because your feet are dry, don’t assume they will remain so.

I for one prefer demon linux over fish linux. In fact, that’s how I first dipped my toes into the world of unix-ish OSes with FreeBSD 3.3.

I just want to start this sentence with saying that I know literally nothing about Captain America, but I’m willing to bet that Captain America would be a much better choice. Maybe not the current reincarnation, as most movie studios have realized that not everyone is pro establishment. But maybe Captain America of a few decades ago.

I for one really appreciate the effort of supporting non-AT drives despite the initial skepticism.

Aneurysms work in mysterious ways

“I hereby sentence you to two years on your own VLAN with no gateway”

I have no idea who that is.

EDIT: Oh, that guy. And now I know his name.

Up until recently, I thought that the US national park was pronounced “yo-semite”, as if it was some sort of ghetto-slang used for greeting a Jewish person.

Just his first name.

GNU plus Unix, ackshually. Linux had nothing to do with it.

In other words: GNU’s not Unix + Unix.

The sequels aren’t bad because they’re woke (are they woke, though?), they’re bad because they’re bad.

For example, I think Daisy Ridley played the part very well, and the character fit in the overarching universe. But the plot was awful and predictable.

And somehow Palpatine returned.

EDIT/ADDITION for emphasis: I loved the acting. Especially Finn. I didn’t find Kylo Ren to be a believable character, but Adam Driver did a great job regardless. Everyone did a great job with Ep VII, except the writers and Disney execs.

As an ordained dudeist priest, I think dudeism should be placed somewhere. I don’t care hard enough where, because that’s just like, your opinion, man.

I’ll be your lab partner next time. I might overshare regarding progmetal, networks, the oxford comma, and server clusters, but that comes with the territory.
