Chess.

And I say that as a chess player. As much as I enjoy a good Pirc Defense, let’s be honest - it’s not exactly the Coliseum of thrills for the average spectator.

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your clown-cars extended warranty”

I can’t speak on behalf the other moderators, but what I can say is that personally I have a pretty high bar for actually deleting stuff.

If a post or comment is clearly in breach of rules AND (offensive OR spam OR of no quality), then I might delete it. If it’s only mildly against the rules and it isn’t really hurting anyone, I might just lock it - most content have an audience, even if it’s technically against the rules.

Sometimes I even leave a post intact with the only mod action that I pin a comment saying something along the lines of “Technically against the rules, but it gets to stay because of (insert reason)”

Hook it into a perl script to automate a lot of both my job and my work email.

I would tell nobody, but seem superhuman in terms of information I can conjure.

Bacon and watermelon

Saw that one live in 2002. Amazing show.

Norway, here. It’s a public holiday and it’s common for workers unions to cooperate and get some sort of event going such as a parade or similar.

A Perfect Circle - When the levee breaks.

Extremely far away from Led Zeppelin. But it’s just so nice and soothing.
Also, “Peace love and understanding” from the same album, for the same reasons.

The cyclops population is an untapped market. If we don’t start aiming for their wallets, the competition will!

This needs a picture.

I’m intrigued… how does the picture work with rounded corners? Does the screen have a black outline, or are the corners snipped off?

Top shelf:

• Whisky glasses
• 2x Islay whisky (Fuck you, bourbon!)
• A wolf head bottle holder
• A red toy cup with guitar picks, USB drives, logitech dongles, and misc other things my GF finds that I’velost or misplaced
• Tiny easter decoration chicken

Bottom shelf:

• Muumi candle
• D20 gargantuan black dragon guarding a VGI-HDMI adapter I need close to the TV.
• A large cup of some sort. I don’t know why it’s there or what it is. It has a plastic spoon inside.

pbrush.exe, the ancestor of mspaint. Because I loved the simplicity of it, and that I got pretty good at it.

Sure, I used mspaint too a lot later, but never to the same extent. I just liked the interface of paintbrush a lot more. And as I mostly used to for sketches and wiring diagrams, the limited color depth didn’t really matter.

The original UDP

Imagine if the richest person in the country dies, and it’s time to figure out the inheritance for the spouses, and it turns out the entire country is in effect married in a loooong chain.

Communities are similar to subreddits, with the main difference that there are many servers (instances) instead of just over main website. I find it helpful to think of it as IRC servers on the larger networks: your user is associated with one instance, but you can access users and Communities associated with different ones more or less seamlessly.

Shout out to the librarians in Gulfport, MS. They were really helpful and friendly when some haggard dork with a weird foreign accent showed up out of the blue in desperate need for a printer to deal with some DHS forms.

Yeah, that’s why I stopped watching: It became apparent that there was no interesting story other than the soap opera playing out in rich people circles.

The first season at least had the hint of something interesting; that estranged stoner being promoted from theme park furry to inner circle. But they barely did anything with it.
