She got the nickname when she accidentally chopped off a bit of the ear of an instructor at the academy when training with Klingon weapons.

Just so you know, operating spinning drives this way is a bad idea. If the platters are spinning and the drive tips over, the rotation of the drives resists the movement. This gyroscopic force is enough for the platters to touch the heads which are flying a tiny distance above the platter. Obviously this is a bad thing and will damage the drives.

A quick fix is to just lay them flat or fix both of them together so they have a more stable base to stand on. Putting it in an enclosure is even better.

Messing with company property is the fast track to getting fired.

These are all nerds who don’t follow sportball most likely. They are quoting the TV show “The IT Crowd” where the main characters pretend to know about sports.

The EU can do a lot more than fine them. With the whole USB-C port issue the EU threatened to straight up ban all Apple products from being sold in the EU. That’s a hit Apple won’t be willing to pay.

Can’t wait for this update, those audio indicators being bugged annoys me every day.

I can read it, but for some reason I read it like a screenplay being read about some old-timey detective story.

And then the troubleshooting steps are like reset the app, reset your account and if that doesn’t fix it reinstall Windows. If it still won’t work, buy a new computer.

It’s terrible, just give me the info I need to figure out the root cause. It’s probably very easy to fix. Instead of the ol’ nuke it from orbit approach.

And it’s not just on the side of consumers either. More and more people are using docker to run shit and just reset or reinstall whenever an issue pops up. Sure that’s often faster and it might work, but it won’t prevent the issue from returning and you won’t have learned anything. I learned the most from fixing broken shit. It requires you to figure out how it should work and what’s preventing it from working like that. We are making ourselves dumber this way.

Looks at share price: Up 10% in the last month…

Yes the myth that irradiating something makes it radioactive is a very persistent one.

The reason radioactive material is so dangerous, is because it has the tendency to spread around. Not the radiation, but the material itself. Then people get exposed to that radiation and hurt themselves. There is a particularly tragic accident that happened in 1987 in Brazil where thousands of people got exposed to a stolen radioactive material. Especially when the material sheds dust it’s very dangerous because it can then easily be ingested and even low levels of radiation which normally wouldn’t penetrate the skin can cause issues inside the body.

Another reason the myth persists is because high enough levels of radiation can cause other materials to become radioactive. However on Earth this is only the case inside of fission and fusion nuclear reactors. And the source of a lot of the radioactive waste. But outside of that, nothing on Earth will make another thing become radioactive.

I know a lot of the food used in the military is normally irradiated. This allows for a long shelf life, which is particularly useful if you are killing kids spreading freedom on the other side of the world.

I don’t even know how they managed this. I regularly create test repos to reproduce bugs in open source software, to go with the bug report. When it contains some random generated credentials only used within that repo, Github freaks out and I need to tell it it’s just testing shit and perfectly fine to publish.

You’d have to be intentionally publicing shit like that.

Sweet and savory is a god tier class of food IMHO. Pineapple on pizza is just the tip of the delicious iceberg. Have you tried peaches with rice and curry? Or raisins in rice? I also like sweet and sour sauce, especially with little pieces of assorted fruits.

My girlfriend hates it, in her opinion the only way to go with savory is salt, although she tolerates pork and pineapple on pizza, since the salty pork overpowers the sweet of the pineapple. But I love it!

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Very fun and puzzly and you get to play as Zelda this time.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. It doesn’t seem that easy but might be an option

Looks good, but video chat is a must have. We like to give each other the middle finger often.

I’ve been looking for an alternative as well. My gaming friends always use Skype when we play together. We started a million years ago when Skype was huge and everyone had it and since it kept working, we kept it around.

We tried a lot of stuff, but nothing just works the way Skype always did. Why did MS have to be bitches and get rid of it.

He will have the concepts of a plan in a couple of weeks. Literally any day now…

One thing to note, if you are using UEFI this is very unlikely to happen. It was designed from the start to have multiple boot options and Windows itself often has multiple entries. It is very rare for a Windows update to mess with any other boot options in UEFI.
