I just landed on my 3rd - Gleba. Vulcanus and Fulgora are “good enough” for now. Once I have Gleba science up and running, I’ll migrate to a bigger Nauvis base, because my starter base is bottlenecked by copper throughput with no easy way of increasing it.

Already possible, I believe. At least on client level: I’ve blocked a lot of junk in Voyager

Notification whenever there’s something in the mod queue of a board I moderate. At least I don’t see any such notification when using Voyager.

User migration between instances.

When this group of people on discord are online: Helldivers 2. It’s a nice way of killing time while chitchatting.

When not: Factorio with the recently release Space Age expansion. Absolutely loving it.

Norwegian here, and there are some common mistakes I see in people not used to the climate.

• When walking on ice, at least the very slippery kind, use short steps. It reduces the chance of slipping.
• And if you do slip and begin to fall, take it like a champ and sit down gracefully. The most comedic sights are the ones flailing to try and stay uptight.
• Buy a snow shovel.
• There are many expensive things sold as ice and snow thawers, but these are usually just variations of salt and gravel. Whatever salt you can buy in bulk at the grocery store works just fine. And any sand/gravel that you can find in the summer will do.
• When shoveling snow, clear a wider path than what you think you’ll need. A narrow strip is hard to keep clear after a while of heavy snowfall.
• If you have a car, make sure to have proper winter tires. If you do, you won’t have to bother with snow chains.
• Car batteries don’t like the cold. Make sure yours can hold charge well. Overdoing it with AmpHours is also a bonus.
• Get a scraper to remove ice from your windshield.
• Wet feet become cold feet. Stay dry. Wool socks are amazing at keeping your feet both warm and dry.

Same. Podcasts are also great, and some are even made specially for this purpose, like Nothing Much Happens.

Tested it on linux mint, and it works just fine for me. 28G of RAM free, no swap in use.

Using Firefox 132, mo plugins/add-ons. Fairly stock Mint install, freshly installed yesterday.

If my kids demanded to stay up past bedtime to watch election coverage, I’d be seriously worried

Nowadays it’s the online account centric shite and all the privacy implications that come along with it. But even before that it was annoying to just trying to do the thing

Doing the thing on linux: command that does the thing
Doing the thing on windows: click here, click there, click some more, second tab, submenu, click advanced, type in the info, save, ok, “yes I’m sure”, click ok, click apply, close 626254 windows, reboot

Whenever I show up to a “mobilization project” which involves lifting and mounting shipping containers of machinery and IT equipment onboard ships, I check whether the containers have had their grounding wires attached, as well as checking if the deck welds have been spray painted with protective coating.
If not, I need to check if the cable runs are properly done, deck fiberoptics protected from crane operations, antenna mounted without obstructions, etc.

Checking random coax cable connections whether they’ve gotten a proper dose of molycote inside is also a pretty good indicator, but the tech department has gotten really attentive in regards to that. The grounding wire is really the only brown M&M I have left on them.

It’s hard to find more compact correctness than this comment right here.

I’ll probably kidnap some women, put them in a hole, and give them daily supplies of food and skincare products. It puts the lotion in its skin, or else it gets the hose again.

Morning: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified
Noon: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified
Afternoon: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified
Evening: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified. Sometimes I shower before bed.

In other words: I don’t really have one, and it seems to be working

It was mentioned on the Kill James Bond podcast; The James Bond character continuum.

The reason why James Bond looks different over the years is because James Bond is a position and not a person. Multiple agents have held this position. When one is killed or captured, another agent takes over.

So, where did the different agents end up?

Well, JB by Sean Connery was imprisoned in the US for his many crimes, rape included.

Lazenby quit after his wife was murdered.

Roger Moore, I don’t remember. Killed by Dolph Lundgren, probably.

Timothy Dalton, don’t remember.

Pierce Brosnan was captured by North Korea.

And here are the implications: Sean Connerys James Bond was imprisoned on Alcatraz, and his later life is depicted in the movie The Rock.

Pierce Brosnan is still in an NK cell, deprived of any social contact, tortured, 99% PTSD by what little remains of his body weight. As a coping strategy he has escaped into a fantasy world of his own making. And from this we get the movie Mamma Mia.

Currently using a Galaxy S21 FE. I’m honestly not rhat picky, as long as it’s not apple, and as long as it’s fast enough, as my employers have paid for them. I got this one after being on the wrong side of the country while my phone died, so I had the shop clerk phone up the guy at the head office to confirm that I could just pick one and send them the bill. The S21FE was what was in store at the time, and I was kind of in a hurry, as I was in the middle of a projectrelated field work.

I’ve mostly stuck to Samsung because that’s the (mangled) version of Android that I’m used to. It takes some tampering with adb to remove the bloat, but once done it works really well.

The “best” phone (quotes, because I think that’s highly subjective) I ever had was the Galaxy Note 2. I loved that phone. Great stylus, good OCR, and once it got used to my terrible handwriting, it was much better and less prone to error than typing on the softkeys. The Note 3 through 6 were not available in my country, so I know nothing. And it annoyed the fuck out of me that Note 7 was a safety hazard, because beyond that it seemed like a really good phone. Sadly the later iterations of the Note series seem too cheaply made. Plastic stylus, etc.

Honorable mention: Openmoko GTK 2. I loved it, but the concept of a linux smartphone (or smartphones in general) hadn’t matured completely in 2007, so it wasn’t at the stage where it could replace my dumb phone completely.

Today, as mentioned, I’m not that picky. I feel like most phones are the same, except the ones that are too cheap. There is only so much useful hardware that can be crammed into a phone, and beyond that there are mostly improvements on things such as the camera. The rest comes down to software.

Rain and thunder outside while inside in the evening.

Also, due to occupational damage, the sound of an offshore seismic source going off in the distance ever 10-12 seconds. The sound and the low frequency shake of the ship means everything is working as it should.
