This is a fun question to ponder, and you’ll get a thousand different answers from a thousand different people.

I think the more important question (and much harder to find an answer for) is What’s the meaning of the universe? Why does the universe exist? How was it created? Why was it created? What was before the universe was created? What comes after the universe?

And you can join those two questions together. Are the two related? Is the universe’s purpose to create life? Is life’s purpose to experience the universe? Would the universe exist if there was not life to experience it?

I know your Star Wars comparison was to reinforce your point, but that does sound like a plausible plot for a legit Star Wars movie that I’d watch.

I like FriendlyJordies, appreciate his humour and admire the work he is doing to expose corruption in Australian government. But man, I cannot stand his voice, and his affectation and his mannerisms. I can’t watch his videos anymore, it’s like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Do you mean hdf5? I extensively used COGs (cloud optimised geotiffs) and NetCDF4 (based on hdf5) at work over the last 10 years. Both have their pros and cons.

The main limitation with geotiff is its pretty much only usable for layered 2D raster data.

NetCDF4 (hdf5) can set up frames of any dimensionality, you can have datetime axes, time series data, 100d ensemble data, etc.

What’s the compatibility like? If someone visits your site using IE 11 does it work? How about Firefox 4.0, or Safari 6.1?

The place I used to work had those compatibility requirements. But they were also still mandating the use of IE 11 for all their corporate software. If you’re designing and developing for IE 11, you often get Firefox 4.0 and Safari 6.1 compatibility for free.

Still, it’s nothing like when I was in uni we needed to design websites with IE 6 compatibility, that will make you question your career choice.

:cafe:babe: is another common one. Or :acdc:feed: .

Yeah, these days I just call them 3.5mm audio plug, or quarter inch audio plug.

As others have said, tidying and cleaning are quite different things. Most cleaners will come to do the latter. If your house is untidy, it makes their job harder.

You can get a person in to tidy up for you, but it’s usually a different person than the cleaner, and that requires much more input from yourself “Where does this go? Where do you want this? Do these clothes need to be folded or washed? Is this trash or not?”.

Anyway. Yes I’ve definitely been guilty of tidying the whole house before our cleaner comes.

Ah, you mean a Deutschkompoundenwordkopf.

I had one too. Besides the screen resolution, the actual worst thing about them was the MMC storage. Literally slower than a 5400rpm HDD. Mine was the one with the slightly faster atom CPU, but it was bottlenecked by the crazy slow storage.

I’ve done something like this before, but thankfully it only impacted services that I host for my own use, didn’t affect any family and friends.

Btw, I’ve found the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix this is to simply buy bigger disks. Swap out each disk for a bigger one one-by-one, then resize the whole volume to fill the new disks. Resizing upwards is much faster than shrinking a volume.

I’ve never had a volume shrink operation work without errors, and yes it takes days if you have more than 4TB.

Chlorine is nature’s soap.

Do they act to maintain the sock’s grip on our plane of existence?

Did you work out where the drier puts them? Every load, two matching socks go in, but when I unload them there’s either; just one sock, or two different socks.

Have you tried patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time?

I’ve seen this bug in the outlook web app too. Like it suddenly thinks I’m holding ctrl or something, then every keystroke in middle of typing an email become commands to mess up my inbox and delete my drafts.

Man, that actually sounds really good.

Stargate universe.

The big bang theory intro theme song started playing in my head instantly when I saw this, well done.
