Why you need see Dar’grock’s Foeskull? Dar’grock forget Foeskull today, but look at Dar’grock face, he have full beard so Dar’grock clearly come of age already…

Please, Dar’grock will bring Foeskull next time!

Yeah I had convinced myself that I would only do it for a year and be able to retire much much sooner.

I once applied for a “database admin” job at one of the big credit card companies. The job description was basically “run all our Oracle databases” and the salary was in the mid 2 millions USD, but I assumed that figure was typo’ed or something ( an extra 0 maybe?)

In the interview I learned that there was no typo and it was to be one of the seven people on the planet that run the databases for this credit card processor. They said “if the database goes down then we are losing billions of dollars a minute”.

Anyways I didn’t get the job, but they’re not all underpaid.

Makes me think of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentition#Dental_formula

Teeth can tell you a lot about an animal. Their size, shape, number etc can tell you what it eats or how it eats or how much it eats. Dental formula can give you clues for how animals are related to each other. If two different animals have the same dental formula then maybe they share a common ancestor or have a similar diet. If two animals are already very similar but have different dental formula then maybe they’re only very distantly related or there’s been some convergent evolution elsewhere.

Correct. Plywood gets a lot of strength from the alternating grain directions in each layer and the core plys aren’t always the same species as the veneer/face plys.

The grain pattern looks like veneer instead of solid wood.

Black walnut top, purpleheart legs, and maybe a maple plywood drawer front?

Looks like the side of the casing might also be the same hardwood plywood, just stained much darker?

Corporations are not people, therefore do not have a right to free speech.

Appa, yip yip!

I’ve never heard of k8s described as a modern implementation of a Linux distro. What makes you say that?

Do you have the questions right now? If so, ask away.

X11 because it’s what I already have installed.

When I have/want to make a change then I’ll go with Wayland :)

What’s wrong with ls?

Hope your flight was good. Alto’s Adventure/Alto’s Odyssey are great, chill games. It’s super important to wear headphones for the full experience. One of my favorite gaming memories is seeing an eclipse in one of them - it was weirdly magical.

I wonder if/how federation will go. I could see a lot of Mastodon/fediverse instances not federating content from the Meta instance on principle. Will Meta federate non-Meta content?

The article touches on this a little, but how much of the ballooning cost of Vogtle is inherent to nuclear and how much is the result of poor project management and/or fraud?

I found an article that describes this reactor project and a related one. Both seem to have had issues with delays relating to the modular building aspect and the other project was abandoned entirely, then the contractor pled guilty to fraud charges.
