For reference, I’ve been in the Linux administration industry for … Uh, I think nineteen years professionally? It’s expired now, but I was an RHCE back when that was moderately meaningful. I am familiar with the concepts, just had only barely heard of the tool.

I mostly was hoping to make someone laugh with my misconstruement of the classic catchphrase.

Thank you for the explanations though!

It never even occurred to me that this would be relevant to my cats, but I always make sure the washer and dryer get closed.

I approve of your diligence.

I have only recently woken up after thoroughly inadequate sleep. I also didn’t watch any Star Trek until COVID, so it’s not particularly engrained in my cultural awareness.

So when I was thinking of the Borg in response to your post, my mind didn’t go to “resistance is futile” but, instead, “all your base are belong to us.”

That tool sounds pretty cool though! I’ve been very lazily looking for a good backup solution, so thank you for the name!

Not a fan of mayo, but otherwise that sounds amazing.

Newman.

They must have felt so vindicated by Boondock Saints.

Over the last weekend I was surprised to learn that you can’t stream from the mobile web interface of at least some, if not most, of the streaming apps.

That’s a nerdy-ass pun.

How much extra did you pay for the bear service?

The uvula functions between the nose and mouth. It moves to block passage of unwanted transfers between the orifices. For example, I believe that when you swallow, the uvula flaps up so that saliva, etc. doesn’t go up your nose instead of down your throat.

Much like potatoes!

I’m out of touch WRT hardware, but it looks like the PS5 uses something called GDDR memory. Your standard desktop or laptop most likely would use DDR. I’m not familiar with GDDR, though I’m guessing just based on the letters that it helps run graphics; still, it probably would not work with your tower or notebook.

I’m sure someone else in the thread can provide a more informed answer.

Got it. Buy PS5, harvest memory.

The only other time I’ve seen the word “pithy” was on the old cracked.com.

I suppose it would make sense when discussing fruit, as well.

Additionally, I looked up the word “pith” to make sure I wasn’t being dumb and I learned it refers to the spinal cord! I’ve recently suffered a spinal injury, so that’s useful information.

I read it yesterday, so I was fortunate to be able to skip most of it after the first few words.

Uhhh …

And she seems into it.

There once was a vampire named Mabel
Whose periods were really quite stable
And every full moon
She would get a spoon
And drink herself under the table
