noisypine,

We dress our skeleton up as Santa for Christmas. Looks great with the glowing red eyes.

noisypine,

I’m interested in new distributions, but it really needs to do something new. Different default packages with a handful of custom things on top of an existing distro just doesn’t cut it. Give me a NixOS, Puppy Linux, ReactOS(I know it’s not a distro) or something else unique. I’m tired of Debian/Ubuntu based distros, if I wanted Debian or Ubuntu, I would use them.

noisypine,

Shmuck on a duck?

noisypine,

Yes. It’s extremely common to have some device that asks you how much you want to tip before you can complete the transaction. They are nearly always placed in a spot and angled so the employees can see it too, guilting customers in to tipping.

noisypine,

Commission is wrapped up in the sale price, not a separate payment to the employee that I decided upon. The company takes payment and then they pay the employee. This also makes sure the employee is not getting stiffed.

noisypine,

NixOS and Debian. Probably just NixOS in the near future.

What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games?

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

noisypine,

Pretty much just communication and occasionally looking up some info. I save gaming and everything else for the computer. Phones are portable, but they are pretty awful for anything beyond the basics. Plus, if I’m out and about, I want to be there, not on my phone.

noisypine,

When Bethesda is DMing, hot off Oblivion.

noisypine,

I loved it when my phone had IR. I really hate it when restaurants have tvs on in the dining room. I would turn the volume down or even turn it off. I really miss being able to do that.

noisypine,

10/10, would turn screens off for a more enjoyable dining experience again.

noisypine,

Serious question. Is this device capable of boiling more than a gallon of water and if so, what is this device?

noisypine,

But how do I boil with it?

noisypine,

Yeah, but the noodles are made of sliced silicone and the tomato sauce is red paint. It looks good from a far, but it’s actually wrong.

noisypine,

Look up 4k77 if you haven’t already. Team negative1 has been transferring and restoring copies of the original reels. The are also working on 4k80 and 4k83. I believe that 4k77 and 4k83 are completed and there are rough copies of 4k80.

noisypine,

I suggest anyone considering LXD also give nspawn a look. May or may not suit your needs better.

noisypine,

Excuse for horrible actions.

noisypine,

Eh, there’s always something new to learn. New distros, new programs, new ways of doing things. I think the latter happens from stagnation. Search out the new and interesting and you can always be an explorer.

noisypine,

Divorce my wife, quit working and get state funded insurance. We still keep her income and I can get treatment without sinking my entire family. Something something capitalist dystopia.

Atheists, is there anything religious that sticks with you to this day?

I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...

noisypine,

I still say “Oh my God”

noisypine,

I used to periodically block Facebook groups on my dad’s account. He’s still a fucking moron, he’s just reciting old fake news now instead of fresh.

noisypine,

I use it, but due to it being more cumbersome, I go to IRC first. If I can’t find it on IRC, I can usually get it from DC++.

noisypine,

Not joking. There are sites like sunxdcc for searching from the web, and otherwise, !s in chats to search. Works great, honestly.

noisypine,

Little bit of both. Usually I start with sunxdcc and xdcc.eu, but if I can’t find it, I search in the chats. Sometimes not all packs are listed and the search engines.

noisypine,

Not joking. This all works, probably a lot better than you may think.

noisypine,

I don’t. I would imagine ones that aren’t indexed, probably aren’t because they are private, but that’s a guess.

noisypine,

That’s not a bad idea. I may do the same.

    noisypine,

    1tb ssd, 1tb hdd, probably 300GB of it used for games though. I deleted games I’m not actively playing, so this is about as big as it gets.

    noisypine,

    American here up voting because sane measurements.

    noisypine,

    Went to the beach yesterday. Saw a toddler eating sand. No adult nearby. Checked around and found the dad. Told him his kid was munching on sand. He said “Yeah, thats sort of his thing”. Thought I was being trolled until he did nothing about it and continued on with his day unaffected.

    noisypine,

    It was in San Diego, near the Tijuana river outlet that over flows with sewage from a plant in Mexico a few times a year, closing the beaches temporarily each time.

    noisypine,

    I use IRC and other DDL methods so, 0.0 ratio?

    noisypine,

    I’m skeptical of all game and movie adaptations. The fact is, the IP owner almost always a megacorp that specializes in taking as much as possible while giving as little as possible in return. I know that the games are frequently made by known board game designers, but ultimate power over the projects is held by the IP owner and they aren’t interested in a good game, only a profitable one.

    noisypine,

    I don’t think it requires lying. I do think you can advance yourself faster by doing some lying, but you should stick to things that aren’t actually job related. Length of time working jobs, increasing your previous job titles by a level, making your roles sound more critical are all good ones. Saying you can do something that you cannot can definitely get you in to trouble if they decide to ask you about it, or worse, you get hired and then they need you to apply the skill you don’t actually have.

    That being said, I have seen people straight up lie about their qualifications, get the job, flounder for a while and then become at least minimally capable and then hold the job long term. If you consider trying this, at least have a fall back plan for if you get fired.

    noisypine,

    I think you are usually supposed to cook it. Might give it a shot that way.

    noisypine,

    Canned green beans. I love fresh green beans, raw or cooked, but those things that come in can are just vile.

    noisypine,

    This is a difficult question for me to answer. I have many perfect games, each perfect for their specific situation. If I had to go with most universal game, probably Ticket to Ride. Simple enough to be taught to pretty much anyone and has enough depth to entertain without being overly complicated or excessively long.

    noisypine,

    Grit. Most people think I have some sort of innate natural ability with everything I do. In reality, I just persevere through difficulty and failure, as many times as it takes to arrive at success. The downside is that I have a decent number of things I have tried that I probably should have given up on sooner.

    noisypine,

    I usually do the setup, then play a mock game by myself as I read through the rules and if the rules are very unclear I will watch a how to video. I find I have a more thorough understanding of the game doing it this way rather than by reading straight through the rules first. I frequently teach games so, getting this sort of understanding, though more time consuming now, means less looking at the rules while teaching and a smoother experience for everyone.

    noisypine,

    I use system packages for everything unless I need a newer version of a specific package for some reason.
