Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.

Ya look at the cast photo, everyone looks genuinely happy. I’m rooting for them to succeed.

Sorry not sorry 🖖

Once you learn that 1/8 == 3.5g it’s a slippery slope to:

• 1 oz == 28.3 grams
• 1 kg == 2.2 pounds

Slangin sacks without the metric system? Not even once.

Perhaps you’re right, Captain. Perhaps I’m insensitive to the bond between you and your subservient quadruped.

I love it when Phlox tells Archer how it is.

Wow Really? I enjoy Phillip Glass but I had no idea. What can I search for to learn more? “14.4baud phillip glass” is giving me nothing 😔

Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)

I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.

Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking

the traffic light coalition

a road in dustbowl conditions, the whole east has that problem

lots of German flags and judging by the colour an AfD one

Damn, thanks for bringing the context! Never heard of a traffic light coalition before, TIL

Thanks for clarifying! I went and looked up umweltshutz and I tell you hwat “worlds protection” is a fuck of a lot cooler than “environmentalism”

How did I do?

Four years later in mecklenburg-vorpommern

Panel 1. spring: travelers must go

Panel 2. summer: where travelers?

Panel 3. fall: knifemen must go

panel 4. where knifemen?

Is it a joke about immigration critics? That they fucked around and now they’re finding out?

Misogynistic post-apocalyptic Holden Caulfield

Lol that’s a new one for me. It’s funny because it’s true 🤣

I haven’t read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there’s so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.

That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.

Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I’m reading the exact same words, but this time they’re hitting way harder.

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

Thanks! I always enjoy trying to decode German memes with what I recall from school and some guessing.

This is the first one I thought I actually understood haha.

How did I do?

Fresh mountainbarn milk

Chug the carton

Not barn drink

if they ever do an oral history of the development of that series, it will be a juicy read.

I agree. I’ve never been interested in meeting any of the cast of any of the shows, buuut if I got the chance to meet any of them I would absolutely choose disco so I can ask how it went down.

It’s just the same story, Netflix picked it up then declined to renew.

Their process ignores gems like Scavenger’s Reign and workhorses like Prodigy in favor of, I dunno, bean counting?

… the removal of the hair, having done hairless Klingons with J.J.’s films. So I’d personally already gone through the Internet backlash, and so when Bryan said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do bald Klingons, like it’s gonna be tricky, man.’ And so everyone was salting the broth.

Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistake until you learn. At least this guy is humble and practical about it.
