How do you know if they’re fake? Do they sound hollow? Do they ding or ping or something?

Did you shake them as a true gesture of manly respect?
- Comment on how normal is it to snore at 13/14 years old? 1 day ago:
No idea about snoring at certain age ranges, but I’m 42 and as far as anyone/everyone has ever told me, I snore when laying on my back. I hardly ever snore when sleeping on my side though. 🤷♂️

- Comment on bernie on 21 5 days ago:
It originally referred to a particular calculator glitch, when using octal mode, which is base 8. Only digits 0 through 7 are supposed to work in octal.
But there was at least one model calculator out there that would still allow you to type in the digits 8 and 9 in octal mode, though those digits should have been ignored and disabled in that mode.
9 in base 10 converts to 11 in base 8, which the calculator automatically does in the background before performing the calculation, so the calculator actually ends up calculating 11 + 10 = 21, which in base 8 is actually correct.
Now how that got misconstrued into memes such as this one, I’ll never know. 🤷♂️

That’s a tall trash can. As literally shitty as it is, I’ll give them this much, that takes talent to not fall over 😂

I have soldering experience going back ~25 years. Why bullshit on a new language rather than just go in with examples of my soldering and electronics skills?

Have you even seen the bullshit job listings in the USA?
5 years experience required for a programming language that had only even existed for 2 years comes to mind…
- Comment on Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation? 1 week ago:
Sadly, I never learned any of those games. I was an only child that had nobody to teach me any of those sort of games as a kid.
I remember my parents bought me Chutes and Ladders when I was 5, apparently nobody realized it’s meant as a multiplayer game. Trying to figure it out for myself, I got bored in like 10 minutes.
Monopoly? Go Fish? UNO? Hah, not a chance, nobody bothered to teach me any of those.

- Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never been the sort of person to ask or insist anyone to display a particular expression. But…
At times I’ve encountered friends, both male and female, that were struggling in life and crying.
Sometimes I would smile at them and say “Hey, you’re leaking again”
I almost always got them to lift their spirits and smile, with a bit of a lighthearted chuckle even.
Though not a moment I’d take a photo of, out of respect, it still reminds me how easy it can be to get a friend to smile.

Ever tried having health insurance from a particular provider in one state, and having a health issue in another state?
You Luigi it.
There ain’t a goddamn thing united about these fucking states, except they let you temporarily cross the borders for a few days or couple weeks or so. God forbid you have any issues out of your registered home state though, you’re basically fucked.

- Comment on The writers have run out of ideas 2 weeks ago:
As funny as it may seem, at this point the evidence suggests it was actually another act of terrorism, likely related to the tragic New Orleans attack.
- Comment on The writers have run out of ideas 2 weeks ago:
Recent events starting the new year are not good nor funny though, it was almost certainly (investigation ongoing though) related to the New Orleans attack.
Apparently the Cybertruck that exploded had fireworks and fuel tanks inside, and the truck itself was rented from the same Turo app. They highly suspect it was another act of terrorism, no fault of the Cybertruck itself.

As much as I thought this would end up being a meme, if it does, it’s not a good one. As Billy Joel said, “We didn’t start the fire”, well let’s not try to spread the fire either.
If anything, share the link I posted from Adam Mockler, keep up with the news, watch out for yourself, friends and family, and let’s all please try to have a good new year.

- Comment on What is the limiting factor than prevents software discovery of undocumented hardware registers and instructions? 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes it’s just educated guesswork.
Back in 2009, I picked up a copy of reverse engineered source code for the original PSP Photo Shot camera. Once I got it to actually compile (code formatting issues), I proceeded to read through what had already been reversed engineered, looking for the unknown/reserved variables.
And sure enough, when I went fiddling with a few supposedly reserved variables, I discovered that one of them triggered super slow exposure mode, basically poor man’s night vision!
I never had a chance to share those findings with the PSPHacks community at the time though, it wasn’t long after when their site got shut down ☹️
