What’s a ‘gallon’ in normal volume measurements?

Army barracks. ;-)

what do you do?

No degree: ran out of cash and spent a decade settling the loans.

I learned a little Linux in college, and I found it’s done me well, since. Better and better jobs, and now I’m in a unionized I.T role with a pension. I’ll be 90 before I can collect, but the people are nice. I’m also working a side gig, one where I could be fired on the spot but there’s always 3 months of I.T work in the hopper … and has been for 24 years. So that’s nice.

emails

Not a noun, my dude.

I use seamonkey, but only for convenience. It grabs all my email and caches it locally for me.

Your comment isn’t popular, but we all know the rule: “the best thing needs to be the easy thing”, since people will often choose what’s easy and fast vs what’s ultimately better. We see this in security all the time (hello-oo NPM).

freshers

Is that the new name for “engineers ready to un-slop the code”?

Spell-check is so weird.

We do not applaud a tenor who cannot clear his throat.

firmwares

And I’m out. If you can’t spell a word, I don’t need to hear you talk about it.

The sloppers l, you mean? I agree, if so.

I love how Lennart went from RH to Microsoft. SO on-brand, that move.

their primary customers are enterprises

Not if their best SLSA level was 3, and they’re aggressively going for 0.

When I pass thomepugh surrey, bc, Canada, I feel their “stroads and burbs” parts are super ooky. I haven’t been them rough to experience their mixed-use towers yet to see if that vibes well there too.

My favorite uncle quagmire tells a story. This is from the early '80s.

He’s working near the counter of the coastal airline he’s working, another pilot dealing with check-in. Just then, a beautiful blonde starlet comes up, quite over-confident, and needs to get on the next flight. It’s booked. But she needs to, you know, and she drops that famous line “don’t you know who I am?”

Uncle’s peer shoots back at her: “lady, if you don’t know who you are, I’m not sure you’re in a state to be flying anywhere!”. He got in trouble after; and my uncle too for some Alan Alda style guffaws from the next room.

Someone would have to be pretty provoked to want that for someone else who isn’t a dick like me. What we’re seeing here for provocation is the systematically terrible things Mr Musk and other elities have done in the name of profit or power.

There’s a certain point where gluttony becomes so egregious that it’s probably due to something illegal or highly immoral.

We should have a trial, I guess.

I have computer networks like that ;-)

My cousin is 30 years a mechanic. The only reason his car works at all is because he retired at 48 (#union).
