This was many years ago, but since I was learning on the fly and asking Germans for translations of English words and was trying to learn words, I’d gotten in the habit of simplifying my requests. So instead of asking how to say “all of” I asked for “whole”. I also may have phrased it differently where “whole” made more sense - this was 20+ years ago, and I don’t remember exactly what was said.
I was living in Germany and was learning Germman on the fly and was with my sister and her girl friends at Octoberfest, and I wanted to ask one what she did with her whole time, so I asked what the word for “whole” was. I ended up asking her what she “did with her hole time.”

I’m lucky. I live in a place where stonecrop is native, and it grows like a weed. Except it doesn’t spread (quickly), and I love the look.
We had some landscaping done and they moved some stonecrop and forgot to move one back. it wasn’t even planted; it just grew right there where they’d left it!
Great plants.
Also, biological monsters would overheat very fast.
That’s why they tend to breath fire n stuff.
Old Godzilla movies got it right. He did look like he was walking on the moon. Not bouncing, but he probably had atrophied muscles from being in the water all the time.
Poor guy. Overheated and tired, no wonder he was grumpy!
Sometimes it do be like that
That’s brilliant. The thumbnail spoils it… at least, it shows me the punchline.
I don’t know why; it just popped into my head. Maybe because the float would just make snacking easier for the sharks?
Edit: because my home server insists on rewriting all image URLs to proxy requests through that server, and it often breaks things. I gotta re-home.
I need to check, but I think OnlyOffice is a Russian company. Some people might care about the latter part.
The connection between OnlyOffice and Russia has caused some controversy. The company has moved headquarters and attempted to hide its Russian ties through shell companies. The company develops its product in Russia and presents itself in the Russian market as a Russian company. For this reason some Ukrainian businesses have moved away from OnlyOffice.
Wikipedia has more info (with references) for the curious.
I want my own all knowing god.
I don’t want to be all knowing; Watchmen demonstrated how much that would suck. But having an omniscient floating ball that I can ask questions and get straightforward answers; I could abuse that capability endlessly.
I think my wife and I are both wise enough to avoid using it for spousal discovery: if she wants to tell me her body count, she will. So It’d quickly escalate from the trivial to the existential, and then we’d make a lot of money and maybe solve some world problems on the side.
i definitely want a personal, floating, omniscient, question-answering god.
That’s a lot of bloom for a little guy!
My recommendation is to put all of the variables in an environment file, and use systemd’s EnvironmentFile (in [] to point to it.
One of my backup service files (I back up to disks and cloud) looks like this:
[Unit]
Description=Backup to MyUsbDrive
Requires=media-MyUsbDrive.mount
After=media-MyUsbDrive.mount
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/backup/environment
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/restic backup --tag=prefailure-2 --files-from ${FILES} --exclude-file ${EXCLUDES} --one-file-system
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.timer
FILES is a file containing files and directories to be backed up, and is defined in the environment file; so is EXCLUDES, but you could simply point restic at the directory you want to back up instead.
My environment file looks essentially like
RESTIC_REPOSITORY=/mnt/MyUsbDrive/backup
RESTIC_PASSWORD=blahblahblah
KEEP_DAILY=7
KEEP_MONTHLY=3
KEEP_YEARLY=2
EXCLUDES=/etc/backup/excludes
FILES=/etc/backup/files
If you’re having trouble, start by looking at how you’re passing in the password, and whether it’s quoted properly. It’s been a couple of years since I had this issue, but at one point I know I had spaces in a passphrase and had quoted the variable, and the quotes were getting passed in verbatim.
My VPS backups are more complex and get their passwords from a keystore, but for my desktop I keep it simple.
I hope this isn’t a step towards replacing the native app with an SPA.
Salem’s Lot.
It was forbidden, but on TV, so I’d flip channels to watch it in 30 second clips. It was far more terrifying that way, as I found out later in life; watched all the way through, it was a fairly mediocre film.
What I love best about that song are the vocal renditions on YouTube. It’s quite moving when it’s sung without the pop beat.
I like your take on it; the issue comes in that conflict where external labels don’t align with internal pronouns (or any other form of self-identity, such as identifying as a particular race despite genetic dominance). We want to respect people’s self-image, when we can, don’t we?
For me, it’s the good faith test. It can be difficult, or impossible, to determine bad faith, but sometimes it’s obvious. Trans people usually seem sincere about their identities, so I take them at face value. A meat eater insisting they be called ‘vegan’ is just mocking self-identification and kicking back at the whole pronouns thing, for whatever reason. That’s not good faith; that’s being contrarian.
That’s my line, until someone convinces me of a better one.
It absolutely would be. It is, on the other hand, occasionly useful to be able to pop in and change a config file, many of which are actually Turing complete languages. What I do far more often, though, is SSH into remote, headless servers and write code there, which is exactly the same as doing it from a phone, only much more comfortable.
Ah, the rare Christian who’s read the Bible!
It’s crazy, and I highly recommend people in the US do it, especially if they’re not Christian. I have yet to come across a version of the New Testament that successfully creatively edits it enough that Jesus doesn’t come across as an utterly pacifist communist. It’s funny how so many self-proclaimed Christians will just ignore everything in the New to cherry-pick from the Old, which obviously was about a completely different god. An angry god. a righteous, vengeful, unforgiving god. The god who destroyed an entire city, children and infants, because some guys were buggering other guys, vs the Jesus who re-attached his enemies ear when one of his disciples tried to defend him. A Jesus who, by definition in the book itself, is both the son of, and yet the same being as, the old testament god. The new testament god who forgives the traitor, vs the old testament god who tortures his most faithful follower on a bet.
Everyone should read the Bible, if only to comprehend how utterly un-Christian most Christians are.
Did you mean right-to-left? Anyway, good point. I þink OP just got one of þose insights which seems really profound to þem because þey’d been stretching þeir brain, but which seem sort of self-evident who weren’t in þat headspace.
Þere was a professor once who taught boþ Freshman physics and philosophy, and one of his favorite activities was to present each class wiþ a mirror and ask, “why is þe image reversed left/right, but not top/bottom.” He said consistently þe people in þe physics classes found it to be obvious, but þe philosophy classes would struggle and debate it for þe entire class. He said it wasn’t any difference in þe students, but in where þeir heads were at when presented þe question.
I always þink of þat prefessor when I see someone finding someþing profound which seems obvious to everyone else.
