Pretty sure you can be a decent pirate with a hook for a hand buddy. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

I haven’t had enough sleep and read this as you having an 82 year old girlfriend when you were 12

Have you read the story of Panko breadcrumbs?

It came from food and fuel shortages in WW2 where the ingredients for bread but no ovens or equipment to cook it into anything. One guy hooked a bunch of dough up to a car battery and electrocuted it and created a crustless loaf with a weird texture. He also discovered this weird texture made for great even sized crumbs with a uniform colour and after the war ended decided to turn it into a business.

This squirrel took on 18 humans and won

Haha I’ll have to listen out for it!

I’ve been hooked on this tune for a couple of weeks and it’s got both the wheel up signal and the ray keith squeak lol

Mate I’m Crim in MP… nothing to be ashamed of haha! No fucking way!? In MWIII?

I had to do a module programming in VHDL for my EE degree.

Every time I see it mentioned anywhere I have a compulsion to scream: FUCK VHDL AND ITS FUCKING ERRORS! NO YOUR ANALYSIS & SYNTHESIS IS UNSUCCESSFUL!

I did not pursue a career in electronics…

Brexit means brexit

Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)

Where were you hearing it?

That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

The sample is taken from this song

It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

Also known as a “dub siren”

Couldn’t figure out how to access my headless server’s desktop environment via VNC without a monitor connected and turned on. I bought a hardware displayport dummy adapter to pretend to be a real display to get it to work.

A hardware solution to a software problem… felt really wrong.

I’ve since wrapped my head around tmux and managing all my services via command-line or web-ui so I have no need for it anymore.

Looking up the terms “jus soli” and “jus sanguinis” might be of interest to you. Basically it’s different for different countries.

The most annoying thing was them adding that bullshit to my current mouse’s software without warning.

Logi AI prompt crap I don’t need or want, that I can’t disable, keeps starting up if I kill the process, eating 5-10% of my CPU cycles.

Thankfully there was enough backlash to knock that on the head and they now let you disable it but they seriously got caught up with their own hype there.

This is surely a “I have no food, it’s midnight, shops are shut and I haven’t eaten since breakfast” discovery.

Haven’t done it in ages but I used to run xquartz on a macbook and do x window forwarding from my desktop. It worked surprisingly well, even on remote sessions via an ssh tunnel.

I don’t have much reason to do it nowadays because laptops are so much more powerful and storage is so cheap that the stuff I was doing can all be done locally.
