Not for me. In my case, the party accidentally one-shotted the big bad the first time they met him because everyone had severely underestimated the amount of firepower that system gave PCs who weren’t deliberately gimped.

It’s okay; I declared that the guy had a cloning device. From then on he died once per session and the tone of the campaign changed into “zany splatter comedy”.

We absolutely do. The paper is plastic-layered, which is how beverage cartons generally work.

I am aware of waxed cardboard. I dismissed it because I thought that relying solely on it to store a liquid sounded a bit too ambitious. But it might work so yeah, I should have considered it.

Besides, how would an all-paper bottle even work? Liquid soap is, well, liquid. Paper soaks through when it’s in contact with a liquid. The only other way to do such a bottle would be to use coated paper, which is less recyclable than an inner plastic bottle.

Oh, I assumed this was during an interview already. If a company sent me that shit prior to an interview I’d tell the headhunter to try again with a better company.

Gender?

Present.

Sex at birth?

No, my first time was well over a decade later.

Are you trans?

Transtabular, from your position.

Are you gay? Bi?

I prefer professionalism to gaiety during interviews. This meeting isn’t over yet.

Ever been depressed?

Not in the button sense, no.

Abuse alcohol? Drugs?

Neither physically nor emotionally. No, thank you, not now.

Ever been arrested?

Have you been?

Ever been in the military?

Even if I was, you’re not getting veteran’s benefits through me.

Well what about your spouse?

Even if they were, you’re not getting veteran’s benefits through them.

Ever work for the government?

Why, are you paying public service rates?

That degree you mentioned, we can’t ask your age but uh, when did you earn that bad boy, huh?

I think it was sometime around when I graduated from college.

Do you mean the Atari 2600? Because all Amigas had either a floppy drive (all of the desktop models) or onboard NVRAM (the CDTV and the CD32).

Given that prisons are an industry in the States and that inmates are one of their main sources of cheap labor, the high recidivism rate is there to maximize profits.

There is decent UHT milk but it’s by no means the majority of the market.

And this is the point where I’d step in as a creator and announce that Paul the Protagonist wasn’t in a coma, all of the audience were, and that we’ve hallucinated the entire show.

Just to fuck with people a bit.

That’s why I’ll make damn sure they’ll make that second branch first.

Mind you, the most likely result is that I’ll still see branches with 50+ commits with meaningless names because nobody ever rebases anything.

I’m kinda planning on teaching my team how to use interactive rebases to clean the history before a merge request.

The first thing they’ll learn is to make a temporary second branch so they can just toss their borked one if they screw up. I’m not going to deal with their git issues for them.

It’s the cover of Action Comics #454. The Silver Age was full of stupid plots like this.

Huh. For me it consistently refused when locally-hosted; even the section with the internal thoughts was completely blank. This goes for both the official release and a decensored version.

What if the ants are coworkers?

If you use a .local domain, your device MUST ask the mDNS address (224.0.0.251 or FF02::FB) and MAY ask another DNS provider. Successful resolution without mDNS is not an intended feature but something that just happens to work sometimes. There’s a reason why the user interfaces of devices like Ubiquiti gateways warn against assigning a name ending in .local to any device.

I personally have all of my locally-assigned names end with .lan, although I’m considering switching to a sub-subdomain of a domain I own (so instead of mycomputer.lan I’d have mycomputer.home.mydomain.tld). That would make the names much longer but would protect me against some asshat buying .lan as a new gTLD.

QUERQUE!

LLMs are an instance of AI. There are many. Typically, the newest promising one is what the media will refer to as “AI” because the media don’t do subtlety.

There was a time when expert systems were the one thing the media considered to be AI (and were overhyped to the point of articles wondering if they’d make jobs like general practitioners obsolete). Now it’s generational neural nets. In twenty years it’ll be something else.

But it’s still not a backup strategy. You should always have a second partition on the server that you sync your data over to. For performance reasons this partition should be on the same RAID 0 array.

Ah, good to know. Thanks.
