My cat really doesn’t like the sound of plastic bags at all

I thought emacs was all about ctrl + ?.

I use vim, but considered emacs. I thought the plugins like organisers and such seemed a cool idea.

Interesting, I didn’t know that about VSCode.I’ve used it briefly and I must have always installed some default plugins to make it work with python!

The only query I’d have on that definition of IDE is that they all require an external compiler or JIT interpreter to execute code, because the versions of the compilers changes so frequently it’d be crazy to release an ‘all included’ IDE. (The old MS Visual Basic is an example of ‘all included’)

But yeah, pycharm or phpstorm are “ready to run” bar the code compiler or interpreter, I don’t have to open a terminal or something to run code I’ve written.

Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

A GUI IDE like vscode or pycharm has mouse driven menus and buttons, although of course it’s possible to use keyboard commands.

That to me is the difference. Personally, I use vim mod with pycharm and some messy hybrid combination of vim commands and ctrl + ?

There’s a white paper with the social security logo on it https://www.mysql.com/industry/government/

“Hey Google, set a 20 min reminder*, ‘drinks in the freezer’”

20 mins later Google will notify “Brinks the breezer” but hopefully that’s enough to remind me.

The name is British, the fine is dollars ($), so could be a lot of places …

3 noses, 2 feet, 1 tail; at least that’s what I can see.

So Wong it’s right?

We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …

He’s possibly the only reoccurring black character, and yes it is very much a product of its time.

In defense of the authors the Gauls are all depicted with large bulbous noses, the Romans with Roman noses, etc; all cariceturs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature.

In the attached image you can see Obelix is also depicted as a “knuckle dragger” (at times). The character leading them is a Roman.

This second example shows the Vikings.

It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.

It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)

The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/

I remember the icon, but I never knew that was it’s purpose.

From the link you’ve provided.

Documents that may be used under “List C” of the I-9 to establish employment eligibility include:

• A U.S. Social Security card issued by the Social Security Administration
• birth certificate issued by the U.S. State Department
• Etc

This is neat solution, you’ll lose the laptop WiFi internet access though.

You can set the pi to connect to the phone WiFi by editing files on the SD card (using your laptop)

Pi4 with 2TB SSD running:

• Portainer
• Calibre
• qBittorrent
• Kodi

HDMI cable straight to the living room Smart TV (which is not connected to the internet).

Other devices access media (TV shows, movies, books, comics, audiobooks) using VLC DLNA. Except for e-readers which just use the Calibre web UI.

Main router is flashed with OpenWrt and running DNS adblocker. Ethernet running to 2nd router upstairs and to main PC. Small WiFi repeater with ethernet in the basement. It’s not a huge house, but it does have old thick walls which are terrible for WiFi propogation.

I’m a huge fan, Rincewind is one of my fav characters. I think they can just be read in publishing order, whilst characters and some plot lines do crossover each book is a story on its own.

Colour of Magic is a perfect starting point imho.

In the Discworld series there are some parodied Australian wizards in The Last Continent book.

I have no idea! I’m neither young or American 🤣

😲 I thought it was slang for “fixing”!

As in “Fixing to do x, y, z” which in my mind meant “I am preparing to do x, y, z”
