Seems unlikely given that ascetic hermits around the world are known for living to a ripe old age.

I can’t imagine any system of influence running an exposed ssh without some further protection from connection abuse like fail2ban.

I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

Are you on an enterprise subscription / office 365 work or school account or something like that?

I was scanning it for the “we’ve been played for ABSOLUTE FOOLS” part.

…the itch wasn’t scratched. :(

The problem is that most of us have swallowed the ‘competence uber alles’ ideal that school fed us through exams and scoring, when the game really is mostly politics (as in interpersonal relationships). So we are understandably disappointed when the incompetent get promoted through brown nosing or luck, when we should be reevaluating the rules of the game.

What’s the downside for them? They either win big or things stay roughly the same and they might pay some extra tax but not much. No one (of them) is losing their bulk of their wealth or their freedom. Might as well roll the dice.

No probably about it.

Mechanical watches lose 10-15 secs per day which declines as they get older or aren’t serviced, a $40 Casio might miss 30 secs per month, never needs servicing other than a battery change.

Mechanical watches are no longer utility items, they are fashion items that happen to tell time.

From someone with a passing interest, Krita seems on a similar trajectory to Blender - gathering momentum and going from strength to strength, whereas Gimp seems rather stuck.

The question of giving the ring to Bombadil to take it out of the equation is asked and answered at the council of Elrond - at no point he could or would end the war.

Only if you let them

Have you heard of virtual debit cards? You can’t charge what’s not there.

Also, at least AWS will in fact send you an email when you approach the end of free tour usage.

Having said all that, most devs can host the few hundred visits they might get over a month with a $200 home server and a free CloudFlare cache if they know what they’re doing.

First move of any new management is to take the worst possible stocktake and shine the worst possible light to last management’s figures. Then any meagre positive movement or even if things remain the same will look like improvement.

Go on, tell us how many elections away to obtaining absolute and permanent power the authoritarian left is - in a way that its troops will be roaming the streets rounding up undesirables.

a “flatulist (professional fartist)” hahahahahahaha, I’m dying.

I would never have thought I’d read these words anywhere, let alone Wikipedia.

No. I had all the links from the beginning.

Lol.

“I’m sure all these people sacrificing goats to the gods haven’t seen their prayers answered all the time and are wrong - can’t you see how successful the Greeks and the Romans are, you idiot? /s” << you are this kind of person.

“Multiple countries” that “have a fixation” - therefore it can’t be - hahahaha!

Are you against scientific evidence?

I gave multiple sources, you gave arguments from incredulity, popularity, and your personal perception of reputation of whole countries - collectively.

Woosh…

The point is that since flushing alone creates aerosolised particles.

Spray wash, then blow dry, would probably multiply that.

I mean we know that hand dryers are terrible.

Sounds like fecal particulate matter everywhere… if flushing spreads it, can’t imagine what an air blower does.

Why, now is as good a time as any to repay some technical debt and get sidetracked into refactoring that code that’s been bothering you.
