Uh, well I was joking, but I guess I would rather the resources were put into Folding At Home or something like that.

So hot right now!

I guess you get good at Unix and refrigerator by reading it, so why not?

What about the fucking manual?

At least four includes five.

The people who makes fans for The fan showdown on youtube should propably check this out. I am not an engineer of that sort and I dont have any reason to care, but I consistently watch all the fan showdown videos immediately after they drop for some reason.

Why did you have to go and mess with my childhood crush like that?

Glad you liked it

It’s really good. I’ve recommended it to many people before and every one who read it loved it. But it kind of leaves you with a bruised soul for a while after you’re done.

I read Flowers for Algernon as an adult. It hit me hard. I have since heard that it is read i school many places in the US.

Edit: I’ve only read the novel he wrote based on the short story, but I guess the short story is equally as good since it won the Hugo award while the novel won the nebula award.

Oh Lord. Before I found power bi 15 or so years ago I made interactive speeadsheets that did a lot of querying directly towards sql based on a set of input cells. Did a lot of crunching on the data merging data fetched from different database etc before presenting them in their own sheets. The worst part is that it was a huge leap from what we did earlier. Then I would write sql queries and dump the result to Excel every time management needed data.

I mostly use sql for data management stuff through c# .NET. But there is a lot of Excel and power bi towards the numbers people.

Computer engineer checking in. Same here!

So uh. Are you trying to infer that it is a tiny set of people/corporations, or that there are other Nations in on it?

I’m Norwegian. We have dragonflies. They are dope. But we don’t have any of those horrifying insects and eight legged ones that kill you. So I don’t resonate with the paranoia of checking your shoes, like at all. I am not sure if I would survive a week in Australia.

Have you ever done any sort of IT support? I was internal IT in my first job and we had those people. It was mostly women 50+ years old who were proud that they know nothing about computers and would actively avoid listening when I tried to tell them how to do something trivial. Even when it was part of their jobs to do it. Then they would ask for help with the same stupid shit a few weeks later.

Well yeah. I’m Norwegian, so I have no business saying what you, or maybe it is they, must do with their system of business.

Mandatory tips in general is a silly concept for me. The driver should be earning a fair salary without it and the price of the food/delivery should account for the staff costs. And any tips should be a voluntary extra. I feel the same about adding taxes on top of the sticker price the way they do in the US. That was an unexpected culture shock for me when I went there a few years ago.

Wait. Is that last one really home?

With the amount of porn on the internet you would think they would have trained on that as well?
