Back in the day when I played Anarchy Online 24/7, when it was time to sleep I used to travel to this area named Varmint Woods so I could sleep to the music and the ambience.

There is no better feeling than the serenity of having just vomited away the ache after your guts have been waging civil (and uncivil) war on yourself for hours.

My dad lost his arm in the late 90s in a work related accident. He described it as painful but was surprised at how it didn’t feel worse right there and then. Probably due to shock.

He was working alone in the middle of the night with his tractor when it happened, so he picked up what remains of his left arm he could find into a bucket and drove to the local nursery home because he knew there were people awake there 24/7. I guess that’s one definition of grace under pressure.

Upon arrival he got the emergency help he needed there and then and a while later he told us that while waiting for the medevac helicopter to be summoned, he was annoyed again about the pain, thinking “Isn’t this where I’m supposed to faint?”.

Later he had the occasional phantom pain. He didn’t struggle with it that much, and it usually passed after a few moments, but he told me that the worst parts was when he had an itch, or a finger was Ina weird position, he could do nothing about it since the limb simply wasn’t there anymore.

His arm was severed by a tractor-operated snowblower right below the elbow.

Fun fact: When the thaw of spring arrived he was happy to learn that someone had found his wristwatch in the retreating ice. Still working just fine. A little later someone found a wedding ring and correctly guessed that it belonged to the guy who got maimed there a few months earlier.

I would first and foremost wonder wtf they were doing on the wrong side of the Atlantic.

I’m sure I remember seeing a parody trailer of “Titanic directed by Michael Bay”

Pearl Harbor. 5 minutes of cool CGI, rest of it being absolutely forgettable.

Using Grok to develop Grok… This sounds like Model Collapse with extra steps.

Not that I recall, but I feel you have a story you’re not telling us?

Like…

bash setup/config/PS1 is your friend here. I frequently find myself with a myriad of terminals between a bunch of usernames and servers at work, and setting up a proper prompt is key to help you keep track.

My bashrc makes my prompt look like this:

username@hostname:/absolute/path
$ inputgoeshere

… with color coding, of course. Yes, I use a multiline prompt. I somehow never saw that before using ParrotSec despite being a bash user for 25 years. I modified the ParrotSec default to suit my needs better, and I like it:

• Obvious which user I am.
• Obvious which host I’m on.
• Obvious which path I’m in.
• It’s easy to copy and paste a complete source/destination for pasting into, for example, an rsync comman

I pasted my PS1 config here: https://pastebin.com/ZcYwabfB

Stick that line near the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file if you want to try it out.

I use Revanced, and I still get the occasional ad for premium. It makes me chuckle out of pity every time.

Those are directory listings. They are the default in apache2 (maybe others as well… I only know apache2), unless disabled or disallowed in the configs (enabled and allowed by default). If the directory you’re accessing such as http://192.168.123.123/somedir/ does not contain a default file, such as an index.html, the directory list will be served instead.

Depends what you’re after, really. If you want absolutely no extras, economy at budget airline is probably fine.

I’ve flown enough to prefer the “normal” airlines for what is included: yes, I need to bring a carry-on. And yes, I have checked luggage in addition to that. Sometimes several. And some of them are often heavy as fuck. No extra charge at a normal airline.

At a budget airline, anything beyond getting you and only you from A to B is an extra, and extra services carry a cost. And I absolutely detest the paperwork involved in filing an expense claim.

Also, when I’m flying, I’m either flying to work and want to arrive well rested, or I’m finally on my way home and can finally unwind. For these reasons I prefer to chill in a lounge during my connection, and/or upgrade to business class on the longer flights. Budget airlines usually don’t have any of those as an option.

As far as I can recall, I haven’t been left to fend for myself by a budget airline delay cancelation, at least not to a significant degree. But whenever something unexpected happens with the normal airline happens it seems they always have a good routine in place to make sure everything is taken care of, including rebooking, sorting out any connection complications, overnight stay at a proper hotel. Previous time this happened I got to pick any flight the following day that worked with my schedule, as opposed to being shoved into an early and really inconvenient one.

Tror vi har to mer elns. Det var i hvertfall slik for en god del år tilbake.

My cats would love the middle one

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

…But it’s still pretty decent.

Never. Because I don’t drink tea.

However, the ones in my household who do use an electric kettle. I’ve never seen them use the microwave for tea.

Correct. Elephant tusks are used for (amongst other things) digging, and on most of them, the right side tusk is more worn down.
