I bought a Gamecube to play Metroid Prime. I've asserted multiple times over the years that if I had gotten ONLY that single game it would have been a well-worth-it purchase. And then they released Metroid Prime 2 for it. And it would have been worth it AGAIN for that game. There were a few...

@Dirona Idea for the next communion?

We got a Heat Pump installed today! Which means AIR CONDITIONING!!! /dance Even if it's approaching fall here, there will still be hot days. And now we don't have to worry about them! Blessed coolness for sleeping!

Ah yes, the old "We need a candidate for this position who has a Masters in Chemistry, with a thesis related to Long-chain fatty acids, who also happens to be between 5'10" and 5'11" tall, and red-hair helps." Oh look! We already have that person internally!

From the project page you linked I see no reason whatsoever to have a Chemistry degree, but whatever. Would it HELP? Maybe, but it's a f'n software project. You need expertise on what fields are needed and things like that, but that's not the same as coordinating the software project itself...

This makes what Blackwing saw in the portal even more confusing though.

Point of order, as per The Winter Soldier (this isn't big spoilers), his eye is not gone, it's there, just probably not useful for seeing things with.

We do landfills "right" so I'm betting not that different. If it starts blowing around, people protest, and people get voted out. If you get "uppity" in many of those other countries, you're just jailed, and the corruption & pollution continues. So I'll bet it'll result in an increase in...

Fair, except for the fact that they were supposed to be recycling it. If they said "oh ya, we'll PAY YOU for stuff," and then just dump it in the oceans anyways? That doesn't make economic sense either. Remember they were buying it from the west, not being paid to take it. Other...

I think you need education on what countries are responsible for plastic waste, in the oceans or otherwise: https://www.earthday.org/2018/04/06/top-20-countries-ranked-by-mass-of-mismanaged-plastic-waste/ USA is at the bottom of that list. Everywhere else is also TINY. I've seen other sources...

Any failure from Soyuz would look bad on the Russians though, and Putin wouldn't stand for that unless he authorized the shittiness, and there's no benefit to them here. And there's Cosmonauts up there as well (I assume, I think there always are?), so I'm more willing to believe "shitty...

Not 100% sure where to post this, but I think those that follow this thread will be interested: VMware 'pressured' hotel to shut down tech event close to VMworld, IGEL sues resort giant

Update on my woes: back up and running. Took it to the shop, and he'd seen a "flash" when trying to power it up. Apparently there was arcing happening somewhere on the video card. Took that out, got a "detected weird power stuff" from the BIOS (though the BIOS also says that if there's been a...

For the information of everybody in the Halifax area (@HCGLNS , @Squidleybits , and Nick at the least... I can't remember username to tag) I recommend the Annapolis Cider Company in Wolfville. You can sometimes find some of their stuff at NSLC, but their store is the only "reliable" way to find...

I'm surprised you don't make your kids take a bath in Listerine when they come home from school. Or at least dip their hands for 5 minutes. Or something.

From some quick googling, I agree with you. Finding a free utility that does things "right" (especially for SSDs) seems non-trivial right now. The most secure method against anybody but the CIA (or similar) would be a hammer. If you need to worry about three-letter-organizations, you have...

Just... FCC can define markets with only one ISP as “competitive,” court rules :facepalm:

Delicious delicious ketchup chips. Now I want ketchup chips. :(

If you want a rabbit hole to go down, look at all the KitKat flavours in Japan...

I've been working on a problem for the last day that has interrupted my testing and not letting me find the actual problem for my next major task at work. The problem was something that's known, annoying, and we've been putting a manual workaround in for a month (or more). But when updating...
