Captain Aggravated

And with a hypothesis.

Who figured out this is a thing that works?

Would it have been a meme 20 years ago?

White collar engineers? Paying attention to blue collar techs? That’s the plot of the next Andy Weir novel, isn’t it? A hilariously naive notion of people working together to solve problems? Sounds like his work.

Both Hillary and Kamala campaigned on “first woman president” messaging and used their first names as part of that messaging. It’s a feature until a man follows suit, then it’s sexist abuse.

Politicians often try to cultivate a more informal or personal persona among voters for the “I’d have a beer with him” factor. In 2004, George W. Bush’s campaign sold bumper stickers that read “W: The President.” Five Star General Dwight D. Eisenhower campaigned under the slogan “I Like Ike.” Heaven forbid we call a woman named Hillary Clinton “Hillary” though. There’s no insult deeper than being called by your unaltered given name.

Then there’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but nobody got time for all that shit so we call her AOC.

I couldn’t solve all the world’s problems if I was given this power, but it would make people who are damaged in the same way I am laugh for a couple months out of the year.

There needs to be a required summer semester of engineering school called “being a mechanic.”

Okay college boy, put on a shirt with your name embroidered on it and come out here into the shop. Yeah it’s 110 degrees in the shade, you’ve got your buddy Tom Midgly Jr. to thank for that. Now take this wrench and take that bolt out. Oh it doesn’t come out because the oil pan is in the way? I wonder whose fault that is. No, we’re not gonna let it cool before dropping the oil pan, the customer is in the lobby. Yeah. It is 240 degrees. No, it doesn’t all drain out through the plug, there’s a half quart that doesn’t come out. Yes, you’re getting that on you. Don’t get any of it on the interior of the car when you back it out. Now take off the oil filter. Yes, you’re gonna burn the back of your hand on the exhaust manifold. You’re taking every Toyota oil filter off this summer. You’re gonna hold the burn mark on the back of your hand up like Tyler Durden.

Oh you’re going to be an aeronautical engineer. c’mere boy, we’re gonna take the wings off a 152 Aerobat, you get to pick the spar bolts out of the catalog, we’ll safety wire the control cable turnbuckles through those little inspection ports you types are so stingy with, and then we’ll take the bird you just reassembled up for a couple two or three hours of spin training to see if ya done it right. You ever do a snap roll? I’ll teach you more about the aerodynamics of maneuvering flight in 1.5 seconds than your physics professor did in a semester. Eat bananas for breakfast, they taste the same coming up as they do going down. And buddy they’re coming back up. Because of the special jug bolt wrench I had to buy, I’m gonna pull at least one breakfast back out of your face using nothing but stick and rudder.

It has achieved the same level of awareness as the average emacs user.

In English:

Braising: A method of cooking meat moist but not immersed in a fluid, often broth or wine, in a tightly sealed vessel over low heat for a long time, often used to soften tougher cuts of meat by rendering connective tissue into gelatin. “Roasts” are often braised. Compare with stewing, in which meat is cooked immersed in a fluid; contrast with barbecuing in which meat is cooked at low heat for a long time in a vented chamber flooded with smoke from a wood fire.

Brazing: A method of joining two pieces of metal by hard soldering using bronze as a filler material. The base objects are heated to cherry red, flux is applied to eliminate any oxides and bronze filler is applied to wet the surfaces and when cooled strongly bond them. Contrast with welding where the edges of the base materials are heated to melting and the puddles allowed to flow together such that when cooled they form one object. Brazing is often done when joining dissimilar base metals which cannot be successfully welded.

I don’t know but I want to burn its owner at the stake upside down so he has to scream through the drippings of his own rendered fat.

No it doesn’t. That’s an extremely naive understanding of open source software.

Open source is not the same thing as public domain. Linux and GNU are very much copyrighted and remain the intellectual property of the Linux Foundation and the Free Software Foundation, both are American organizations. Do not mistake copyleft license terms for “heritage of all mankind.” No one alive today will see public domain Linux.

“we” did?

I like how they left “Lima” alone.

So you’re a normie who charge thay phone, eat hot chip and lie.

It becomes an issue when you’re in the habit of such poweruser tasks as plugging an external display or external graphics card into a laptop or dealing with bulk file transfers.

Long Live Buffalax!

Mister Disco Summoned It

AHAHAHA! HEY!

Would a government choose Fedora rather than Red Hat?

Made a bunch of noise about switching from American software to American software.

It’s stupid but I’ve seen stupider.
