I was on that call too, can confirm.

The holes are an evolutionary adaptation that allows bullets to pass through harmlessly.

I guess I’ll be giving away candy canes at Halloween. Maybe also some of those old fashioned ribbon candies that taste like mothballs… That’s kind of in the spirit of Halloween isn’t it?

Can a 4-yr old legally consent to the copyright assignment?

Weed control is a fairly new thing but not an environmentally friendly thing. Maybe Japan doesn’t like spraying pesticide all around.

Your picture is actually of active, well-used railroad tracks. Old unused tracks are rusty and weed-grown. If the rails are shiny it means that trains pass regularly and knock the rust off. If there’s no weeds it’s because the railroad actively sends out crews to maintain the tracks.

Minix! I actually went so far as to track down a copy of minix on Usenet and bought it, complete with floppy disks. But before I got around to installing it Linux became available, and I never got around to it. Can’t even imagine trying to install it in a foreign language. (It would be foreign for me anyway)

Yeah I installed 1.0 from floppy disks. I was really glad to get it on CD-ROM a bit later. I probably still have those floppies around here somewhere… I wonder if they still boot? Still have my old 486 around here somewhere too, come to think of it, but I needed a custom kernel to support my SCSI card and I’m definitely not going through that pain again. (Yes I had to boot off floppy drives in order to build a kernel image to be able to install it on my hard drive.)

Probably time to get rid of it.

The animal wouldn’t be alive in the first place if we weren’t intending to eat it

We just use animals to pre-process our plants

Oh yeah I had to work with a guy who just couldn’t stop running off his mouth about Trump and how evil Republicans were. Everyone else was pretty nice to work with but that guy was just cringy all the time.
