Hmm... Now that is a sport I think I could watch, at least once or twice!

Thank you kindly for the links, I was just about to search for the Manchester Bombing, if I'm being honest I thought "The Troubles" was the name of a book or movie. I didn't realize they gave such a non-chillant name to such a bloody conflict. Suddenly the meme makes sense though!

Thanks again!

AT&T bogged down my neighborhood for 6 months running fiber and I can finally have it, I just have to sell my house and move across the street because the 16 houses on this side are just a gap too far.

While I do agree GitHub is a place where people collaborate, it's also a pretty handy place to store stuff without having to host your own. If the project doesn't invite people to contribute, don't expect a polite response forever. It's like stopping your neighbor on the street corner to tell them they should paint their house white for the thermal benefits, yeah people collaborate on the street, yeah you are right, it's their house though.

All those things they listed I would also consider selling my data. Even if you are offering my info in exchange for peanut butter cookies, you are trading it for something else.

Totally not trying to sow discourse but I don't think the person you are replying meant that any meaningful search has occurred beyond our planet. I believe they may have just been saying that over the course of human history so many people have been trying to prove it and none of them have made any real progress.

Now we have museums showing people living with dinosaurs because enough people wouldn't believe the bones were buried by the devil to test our faith... I'm all up for any evidence someone has, history is terrifying beautiful, and the bible has some interesting stories, but it doesn't seem very grounded in this reality (personal opinion I suppose).

I would put that more on the ad networks, if the ads were related to the article, it may generate a few more clicks. The ads are completely random and built off a profile they assume would contain relevant info about me... but it doesn't really seem to be accurate (this is kind of by my own choosing though).

Instead articles about rebuilding cars should have ads related to perhaps rebuilding cars and not some fucking nutritional supplement or some other unrelated thing.

Damn man, I was on a streak (totally joking while kind of being serious).

Thanks for the source though, I still don't get it but I'm also still using the same ringtone I used when my son started school (he's in college now).

It stands for New Technology File System from back in the Windows NT days, like NT 3.1 in the early 90s (my brain always thinks of Windows 2000 NT when that was really like NT 5).

I think I prefer your definition.

Yeah but I never found a way to do whole disk encryption with a decoy OS like TrueCrypt could. Really I don't have a need for that, but it was an amazing feature in my mind.

I never manage to absorb anything in a pre-0900 meeting. That first chunk of the day is for me to catch up on all the shit that happened since I was last there (personal opinion).

Kuschel Song by Schnuffel, it honestly just makes me think about a simpler time in my life when I didn't realize just how much I had laid out before me.
