Clearly they want you to stick your head up a bull’s hairy asshole and tell them about it. 😉

It doesn’t bother me. Sometimes it’s more useful to know what people think about issues surrounding the question than it is just to have the answer.
- Comment on More chickens! 4 days ago:
Friends of my wife have chickens they raised from chicks. Only it’s very hard to sex chicks and three of them grew up to be roosters. They eventually found someone out in the deep countryside who was willing to take them in as pets instead of chicken dinners. Until that time (which took nearly a year), they relied on anti-crow collars they found on Amazon - which seemed to half-strangle the roosters but didn’t do much to discourage noise.
My wife hates that I still refer to them as the rooster gimps.

while I know it can happen, I haven’t had any taken from me since.
I had a couple hundred bucks worth of titles in my Amazon Digital Comics account when they shut all that down.

Traditionally, one person sips from the bottle, then shares with the homies via French kiss. More hygienic that way.
- Comment on How come people are stupid nowadays? Especially on social media 2 weeks ago:
‘Nowadays’? That’s the kind of conversation my dad and his brothers would have at family get-togethers back in the 80s. It hasn’t gotten worse, it’s just gotten more in-your-face.

is there a fountain of youth I’m unaware of?
It’s the blood of children. Use that knowledge as you see fit.
- Comment on "Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?" 2 weeks ago:
Is every other person here some kind of computer science enthusiast or something like that?
That’s a fair way to sum it up, yeah. Politics aside, we like to tinker with tech and Linux is inherently tinker-able.

Based on the last article I read about it smart dust is a group of networked sensor pods, each about the size of a pencil eraser, that you can scatter to collect environmental data. The collect and report readings for as long as their batteries last, or longer if they’re larger pods with solar panels.

- Comment on How do you distance yourself from your country when it doesn't represent your views anymore so you won't be viewed by the rest of the world as part of the problem? 3 weeks ago:
Have you considered being part of the solution?
- Comment on Just another "we are all going to die" prediction 4 weeks ago:
I worked on an ISP helpdesk in 1999 (including New Year, to my disgust), and we had dozens of people call in during the next few days because systems they relied on to run their businesses had failed.
The fact they were calling an ISP about their accounting software is probably an indicator of the type of thinking that caused their problem.

Seems to me you prefer texts that have a fact-presenting or conversational tone rather than a narrative. Nothing wrong with that.

There are versions of Linux that don’t need any internal storage at all, eg. Puppy.

For a start, all your friends have the same face. That just screams ‘pod people’ to me.

When I was a teenager an American visitor wrote to our biggest newspaper calling us a shitty little 3rd world country for not serving hashbrowns. Which is how I learned what a hashbrown is. I can see why you like them, they’re in the same conceptual space as potato chips. Not sure you’ll get my buy-in as a breakfast food, though. So greasy!

The online ordering system fritzes out at the last step and I’m not about to call and talk to them.

Makes sense. In my country tomato sauce has a lot of sugar in it and we put it on french fries. You wouldn’t want it in your dal.
