Read the book Sapiens.

Being able to believe in fiction is what allows humanity to function.

This is true. Although, every once in a while I’ll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.

Yeah, the $36+ per kilo is a lot, but from a “vote with your dollar” perspective, I may stomach it in hopes that the price goes down, and the color options improve. I don’t print as often as I used to, so that makes it easier.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

Yes, both links and lynx are terminal based browsers. I remember using them to browse the Gentoo handbook when trying to do my first install.

Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.

Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I’d like to say “get the fuckin’ torch. She’s hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt” and also a “she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood”. Lastly, I’ll add “fuck you shit whore fucking cunt”

Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.

Thank you.

I’m sure there are opinions both ways. I think the reason Fedora is the headline is because it is the more recent addition. Lenovo has had an Ubuntu option on some machines for a few years now. Fedora is a fairly recent addition.

I think libre office is even a maybe in this case. Give them a browser and they’ll be fine.

This feels like the right place to link to the Kralyn Positron project which is a compact, open source portable 3D printer.

I started buying parts to make one but haven’t taken the time to get any of the machined parts manufactured yet.

I am certainly not one of the younger folks and had never seen that before. That is awesome, thank you for sharing.

I like to tinker, my brother just wants something that works. I built a Voron, he got Prussa. We are both happy with our 3d printers.

Good news. After reading the article, it seems like the content and the course will still exist, it is just that Yale has decided that it cant afford to pay ULA’s to support the class.

For those who just want to learn, the course content can still be found here: https://www.edx.org/cs50

Yep, I love it. I told my wife about it and she thinks I’m crazy.

You’re right I somehow missed it in my skim of the comments.

Unrelated to the question, but the capitalization of the seemingly random words in the title is interesting. I am going to guess you are a programmer and typically capitalize class or variable names out of habbit and that leaked slightly into the title of your post.

This is long but worth the watch. It is a lawyer and a police officer giving specific details on why you should never talk to the police.

Just wear loud clothing so everyone can always tell when you’re moving. Something like corduroy pants, a windbreaker or a cowbell.

A fun next lesson is the benefit of apparent wind. In addition to the wind relative to the water, you have added wind generated by the movement of the boat. Since the lift generated is related to the speed of the wind relative to the boat, the faster the boat goes, the more lift you get. As a result, it is possible to actually sail faster than the wind speed of the wind relative to the water.

I’m pretty sure I did a bad job explaining that. Google can explain it better for sure.

Geoff?
