NetHack 3.6.7

Went to university with a lady named (I kid you not): April May June

According to her, her parents thought it would be "fun".

I would guess she is about 50-60 years old now.

The abnormal gay guy vote - like a gay guy that likes Vance. That's weird AF.

I see what you did there 😉

I have a good friend that works with these nut cases daily.

I call them nut cases because about 70% of them keep taking about how they need to violate their oath to the US Constitution to (in their exclusive opinion) "protect the country for the deep state".

The US government is way too stupid to either develop a "deep state" or keep it secret.

Conspiracy theories are rampant in the US military.

Of course they won't be; somebody has to debug all the crap AI writes.

This brings back memories.

When I was in university, I worked in the computer services department (IT services for the campus). A social science prof down the hall would use a program called SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) to do various statistics on data sets.

It was available on two platforms: PC & VAX

The PC had about 4 MB of RAM. The VAX (a large centralized computer) had much more (not sure the amount, but I'm guessing around 256 MB at least). The data sets they were using would sometimes require more RAM to process than the PC had (even with swap space), and would give an "out of memory" error.

They always came down the hall and would ask us what to do. The answer was always the same, "Some combination of: get more RAM/swap space for the PC, shrink the data set, simplify the complexity of the query or run it on the VAX server."

They finally started saying, "We connect to VAX, get more memory?"

I don't know if they thought using telnet to connect to the VAX actually caused the local PC to gain RAM or not but it was an inside pun for the department for a couple of years ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .

Farming - family has been doing it for ~5 generations. I'd say we have put in about $10 M dollars over time (adjusted for inflation).

What's that dear? It's a way of life/occupation . . . are you sure? Seems like it must be a hobby given the return we've made on it over the years. Well, if you're sure.

My wife said that farming is technically an occupation and not a hobby. I still have my doubts given how much we have thrown away on it over the years, but I don't like to disagree with her (she's usually right).

What are we going to do tomorrow night Brain?

As a farmer who's family has grown probably 2M+ bushes of soybeans since they became popular in the 70s. I can truly say that the worst part is spending night after night with little needles injecting the Republican poison into the fattest beans.

/s - do I really need this here? Oh hell yeah!

If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!

Just take a chill pill man.

x1,000,000,000. WTF is happening to our country?

I once abused an SMTP relay (my own) by emailing Novell a 400+ MB memory dump. Their FTP site kept timing out.

After all that, and them swearing they had to have it, the OS team said "Nope, we're not going to look at it". Guess how I feel about Novell after that?

This was in the mid-90's.

So . . . we need to alert the rest of the world how to get their stuff back from the British Museum. Got it.

Yeah, my coworkers said how great it would have been after the Colorado movie theater shooting (Batman movie) if everyone was armed. They just knew the original shooter would have been killed right away.

So,

1. Dark theater
2. Smoke filled (by shooter)
3. Bullets suddenly flying

Who in their right mind thinks basically everyone wouldn't have been mowed down in a hail of gun fire?

If only there was a way to have prevented this - perhaps thinking before posting would have helped.

Damn, he dodged a bullet there! (tell me he didn't marry her after that).

I'm guessing you might be from Canada (Hello up there friend)!

Because certain groups in power are total pieces of @#$_&-+/!

Which States Ban Giving Food and Water to Voters at Polling Places?

Elections in the US didn't used to be so controversial, but in the last 10 years certain groups/parties have been crying foul (baselessly I might add) about illegal voting.

You are supposed to be able to go to the polling place on election day and vote. There are limited voting hours (generally about 12 hours), it is not a national holiday (should be), your employer does not have to give you time to vote (paid or not). You might be able to vote via postal mail (but it varies by state what "valid reasons are" to do that).

The US really needs election reform nation wide.

I'm so glad you were able to see the light and thank you for having the courage to put it out there for others to see.

The most difficult faults to see and change are our own.

Uncle Sam couldn't handle the success the metric system would bring. /s

A real American hero - just like Trump. /s

As the parent of a special needs child I was completely aghast about that. Doesn't even make sense because they want people to "pull their own weight" (which is just what that person was doing)!

Rejects from the plane assembly line. Now that's scary!

allegedly blocked the teen's car from leaving . . .

Sounds like unlawful imprisonment to me. I'm sure he will be prosecuted for that (NOT).

Hugh government bail out (American here). Taxpayer gets stuck with the bill. Companies loose nothing (probably make even more than way).

In historic times, people knew horses were land animals. So, I expect we will see this invention in about two more weeks.

Saw at least one of my teachers drunk in public basically every night (local bar and grill).

I meant "Right after the person saying 'Go back where you came from ' went back to where they came from".

Not actually the part about the keys; sorry I didn't make that clear.

Some Idaho state senators are such stupid turds.

I'll take the non-AI using pharmacist for the win. Thank you very much.

While there may be "No stupid questions", there are many, many "Stupid answers".

Well, there's obviously nothing inside their skulls anyway 😜.

I've been a Christian all my life; I'm really, really sure that Christ can not only "restore" a body from nothing but make it much better than it was before. At least, I hope He plans to make it much better 😃

What this NCO did was not dumb; it was calculated and intentional violations of multiple rules and regulations they (and the others involved) knew very well. Then they tried to cover it up when people started asking questions.

Absolutely no sympathy for them in my book. These are supposed to be the leaders other enlisted look to emulate.

A good number of people did until early 2022. It looked a lot better on paper.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

That sounds great!

comparison to electric furnaces. That has been widely known for years to be hilariously inefficient.

By this, I'm thinking you mean "electric resistance heating" - i.e an electric heater.

Electric resistance heat is 100% efficient. Heat pumps can easily be 200%+ efficient.

And here is what you get: Former Clark County Sheriff Hit With More Fraud, Money Laundering Charges

Can't get my partner to do this. They are too worried about "saving money/we don't need it (now)". For heavens sake, I'm not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!

Give me the $100 first (completely and irrevocably non-retractable). After I (in my sole judgement and by my sole timeline) am 100% convinced it's mine, then I'll sign.
