Every enterprise laptop I’ve seen in the last 5 years?

The entire market is all in on this trend. It’s hard to get a laptop with more than a couple usb ports anymore.

Transubstantiation is kind of in the Bible. Matthew 26:26-28

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

The discussion of transubstantiation is just how literal “my body/blood” is.

Good idea, but again: wool socks will stay surprisingly warm even while wet.

If you’re in the arctic circle long enough, it helps to have many options though.

Layers are the way to go.

1. Long Underwear, a long sleeve breathable undershirt, good WOOL socks
2. A sweater or other medium-thickness top garment.
3. Waterproof snow pants and coat.

Good boots, preferably waterproof if you’ll be in the snow a fair amount. Definitely good so you have better grip on snowy/icy ground. Thin “liner” gloves and thick waterproof gloves to go over those. A warm hat that covers your ears (I really appreciated my trapper hat when I went to Tromsø).

Avoid cotton. Cotton is horrible at insulating if it gets wet, as opposed to wool which can keep you warm while fully drenched.

Best news I’ve seen in weeks

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

He got old.

Humans.

The current western political landscape is not the first time immigrants have been a political scapegoat. This has been a recurring theme for thousands of years.

In order for the tides to rise significantly in the Baltic or Mediterranean, you’d need that much extra water to flow through the narrow opening in the straits of Gibraltar/Denmark.

The Baltic sea also probably is less affected because it’s so far north, and the tides are based on the Moon’s (not-quite-equatorial, but not THAT inclined) orbit.

Jira teams start with happy*

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!

Reasonable chance he never wrote one and Biden just said that to pacify the media.

Kakuna wearing a tux?

:q!

The first vim command anybody should memorize. Quit without saving.

I want something that’s basically like Windows 98.

Linux Mint (Cinnamon edition) and Kubuntu are, in my opinion, the two most windows-looking distros out of the box. They use the Cinnamon and KDE desktop environment respectively, you can do a little googling to see if those look like you expect your desktop to work.

Does everyone just always know what they’re doing at all times?

Fuck no, lol. I’ve done more stupid shit on Linux than windows would ever let me get away with. But Linux people tend to be a little more “tinkerers” than other computer users. Not everyone by any means, it’s really more of the other way around: if you want to tinker with your computer, Linux gives the most freedom to do so. And when you tinker enough and make enough mistakes learning experiences, you tend to pick up some knowledge along the journey.

But a lot of the modern distros are very plug-and-play, to where it’s not necessary to be a tinkerer to get going on Linux anymore.

Hmm, I think you’re right about sterilization vs gunk removal. Got those mixed up.
