With a specific mix of spiteful grumpiness toward windows and a naive optimism, born of youth and abundant nerd resource at university.

That and a stoic acceptance that shit breaks, but it also broke on win 95, 98, XP and especially millennium edition. Which is the timeframe I switched in.

Going full time was fully enabled by reliable virtualization. When I could run a win XP VM and expect no issues in a work day, I was about to ditch windows as my main OS. Over time, I used fewer windows only applications, now I barely need the VM.

It really doesn’t take many changes; just swap the perspective. Sing it from the point of view of ICE etc…

Some of us that work forces

Some of us that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses, ugh

Those I killed are justified
For wearin’ the badge, I’m the chosen knights
I justify those that died
By wearin’ the badge, I’m the chosen knights
Those I killed are justified

I justify those that died
By wearin’ the badge, I’m the chosen knights, come on

Get on the ground, Ugh

Now I need to listen to Rage.

I’m weirdly conflict conflicted, I mean we are on the map, but it is incorrect.

But most kiwis are shoes off in the house.

Can’t tell of sarcasm or serious, damn Poe’s law.

No I program with a magnetised needle and a steady hand.

With asshole lips, talking shit must be a common occurance.

Jeensland

May I suggest a cart licence.

No license…you get a fucken carry bag, get your shit together!

Honestly, $5kNZD (~£2k) will get you a really nice bike that should take you to very enthusiastic amateur; if you are doing significant jumps/drops than you will know what you need and spend accordingly.

A $5k bike is not extreme by any stretch; and the NZ tax also hits. I have seen $14k (~£6k) in my local bike shop, non-electric mtb.

Note: I mountain bike regularly and my bike cost me $5kNZD 12 years ago…I mainly ride grade 2/3 tracks these days with the occasional grade 4. Not an authority on mountain biking, but I have a bit of experience in bike costs and what you get for your money.

What wakes you?

My partner has an issue, where she is tired and falls asleep. But because something is worrying her, she wakes with thoughts ruminanting in her mind. This will go on night after night until she deals with the thing she is worrying about.

If this is happening to you, see what you can do to deal with the worrying situation.

I had severe insomnia (10-15hrs/week) in my teens and early 20’s, I couldn’t get to sleep, so maybe not applicable. But what finally cracked it for me was rock climbing, I’d go after work and climb until physical exhaustion, climbing is good because it forces you to think about the climb as well as exercise. I’d go home after and have a cool shower and a very light meal. I ate my big meals early in the day.

I am still a short sleeper, I only get 4-6hours (average 5:15) per night.

Golf clap

I guess I’m not that grumpy.

As a side bonus, you now know who all the members of the thieves guild are.

Requiem for a Dream, you mean that movie!

I did this at climbing recently.

It was really hot and everyone was sweating; someone said “I better have some electrolytes”; without thought:

it’s what plants crave!

So not an industrial automation engineer. Nothing but windows software.

Ignition for scada works on Linux, but nothing else does.

Well…a single mitocondrion is not really a powerhouse of anything except really simple single celled organisms.

Wikipedia:

The number of mitochondria in a cell vary widely by organism, tissue, and cell type. A mature red blood cell has no mitochondria, whereas a liver cell can have more than 2000.

It would be more correct to say “are the powerhouse of the cell”.
