itwasawednesday

I was out for a drive with 4 other friends packed into a tiny car, decades ago when we were all early twenties. I was driving, and we were just cruising the streets, turning this way and that, high spirits and chatting and laughing away. We came down off a hill joining one suburb to another, and turned off into a side street. It was a dead end street, in a pretty dark and deserted industrial area. We knew the street well, as it was short, but you wouldn't go down it if you didn't need to, as it only led to factories and such. It was late, perhaps a little after midnight. As we got about 50 metres or so in (maybe halfway), we all instantly stopped talking simultaneously, and every one of us, including myself, froze in what I can only describe as pure terror. I hit the brakes, and stopped in the middle of the road for a second, before slamming the car in reverse and stamping on the accelerator full tit in reverse, without even turning around, I couldn't even turn my head. To this day it's hard to describe why, in the normal light of day. My current wife (then just a friend) was in the car too, and she hates it if I even bring it up. All I can say is we sensed such a darkness, a dense evil beyond comprehension, right outside the car. A sense of an abysmal vanta-black presence in front and to the left of the car. Nothing visible to the naked eye, but with perfect post-event unified description by all 5 people in the car. None of us spoke for a good 20 minutes afterwards, and the night of fun was over. It was horrifying, and I will never go into that street again. A vague sense of some atrocious tortuous event that occurred there in the past maybe, don't know? And we were all very stable regular young people, no alcohol or drugs etc involved. I know spooky stuff probably wasn't on the menu, but that's sure it for me

Drive is 15 GB

They love on them. Tap that bark.

HE SAID IT'S EGGS FOR BREAKFAST!

You're right, clicked it away so many times over the years and never stopped to think what a silly statement that was. I feel like it was for a time when 10 was a new shiny 'mysterious' thing, that it might convince people into thinking it needed something special, but has just aged like milk.

Sorry for ignorance, genuine question, how is this different to a short range missile?

Wiggle the little stalk at the top, if it wiggles nicely, it's ripe. Takes a little to get the feel for wiggle to ripe ratio, but it's a really good indicator.

Someone else in another thread I read recently, I think they worked for Microsoft at some point, said that it's due for different departments all competing for corporate attention. Doing the big new thing to keep their job. Rather than just fine tuning for performance or longevity. Something like that.

Yeah, I feel like all applications to be an officer of the law should come with the weight of "do I have the depth of character to fulfil this role" and the consequences of it clearly in front of them in making that decision.

Yeah that's a silly statement, guarantee there was little altruism when they, like most, started their business.

Urgh one of my coworkers (technically client, but work closely alongside) clearly uses it for every single email he sends, and it's nauseating. He's crass and very poorly spoken in person, yet overnight all his email correspondence is suddenly robotic and unnecessarily flowery. I use it regularly myself, for fast building of Excel formulas and so forth, but please, don't dump every email into it.

Haha. Hope you can swim friend, gotta get my dad's boat back.

Burns the ding dong

Look into Home Assistant.

Is it even arguable? What else would come close? My assumption is the same, stock up and then throw everything you have blitzkrieg style in an effort to oversaturated it.

Appreciate the informative response! I'm ashamed to say it hadn't ever occurred to me that a missile still needs to follow a ballistic path. I've been fooled by movies without realising the nonsense in that, given they have no 'wings'. Control surfaces aside of course. Thanks!

Holy shit yeah that's a step up from drone grenades footage, nice!

Thanks, was like holy shit I better read up about that neoplasm thing!

Yes, but at least this stands a good chance of a few seasons.

Ahh, a fellow HA user spotted in the wild!

Asking for the sake of my son, does Fortnite work?

Ahh yup.

If it was massed, (I'd prefer amassed), wouldn't it be better as "Russia have massed...?

You don't save one for later too?

So, a hole in a bucket? Doesn't sound right.

Passed?
