As “three dead trolls in a baggie” famously sung… “Every OS Sucks”.

As true today as when it was first penned.

With a PFY ready just outside the room with the improvised mega volt cables incase you get wise and try and bolt. And something happened to the lifts so the doors opened without the lifts being there…

Been there too

people wouldn’t have to masquerade as much behind legitimate business.

Yes, that’s the point - they’d BE a legitimate business anyway. Sadly, the concept of it being not so, is so ingrained in Western (American and British, at least) culture that even comments in support reveal an unconscious bias that’s hard to overcome.

ROCK AND STONE, BROTHER!

That is a tasty looking pussy… Thank you for sharing.

Mine is sidereal… I always said side real. Then, I learned it was (roughly) Sid air heal.

Though I did use to say Copernicus as copper knickers too.

I haven’t watched it…

… But you totally should.

Translation added, roughly done. Tip: modern Android devices let you press and hold the switcher, which takes a screen shot of whatever is on screen. Then, you can press the translate button that appears to translate whatever is on screen. Works with the camera too - easier than firing up Google lens or whatever.

Of course, you need all the Google gubbins to do it, but if you’ve got that it’s really powerful.

Roughly translated:

We exorcise you, every unclean spirit, every satanic power. Every infernal invasion of adversity, every diabolical assembly and sect. Therefore, curse the dragon, make your church safe to serve you in freedom. We ask you. Listen to us.

It is a bit different to say, “HP changed their recipe” versus “some dumb ass redistributor changed HP’s award winning recipe and suffered the consequences” :⁠-⁠D

Either way, I’m glad to get the original. Nothing better with some sausages or bacon…

I think that’s because the HP franchise their recipes, and different locations have “regional” variants. Here in the UK, it’s never significantly changed so you’re probably getting the English import - so, of course, there’s a shipping cost on top.

Murray!

Technically, it was a display made from E. Coli cells, not actually programming the microbes to run it themselves…

… but yes, Doom has been used in a computer where the display was E. Coli.

“Actively Commissioning” and “Subsidizing” are two different contexts. Your points are all accurate, but commissioning a movie means actually going out and saying, “we want this movie, and will pay/provide resources to it in order for it to get done”, versus “your doing a movie with military, we’ll provide resources in compensation for a meddlers credit”.

I’ve always wanted to go to Indiana after Indiana Jones. I mean, he voluntarily chose that name…

Woah, cool. Didn’t know there was a first party portable.
