It probably is, but no REAL artists made this before AI when they had the chance.

Strictly speaking, WD-40 is for water displacement. It is also not patented because they don’t want to give away the recipe.

Though, I think the other guy might have meant “lubricant” in the context of sex.

+1. Just enabled as well.

The only way to properly clean a penis is with guacamole and some elbow grease.

Neurotypical?

How about word choice? We got a homophone situation here.

I wrote a little bit of code to tell me if or when my electricity would be cheaper if I used on demand pricing instead of flat rate. Basically anything you might use excel for could be a programming problem.

For other hobby projects and “why Linux” it’s easier to sew things together than windows, generally speaking.

Example:

Every time I sit down at my PC the first thing I usually do is open a terminal: it is both my launcher and my file manager. I have several programs with TUI (terminal user interface) or text based API (which is an applied programming interface) and I keep my notes in plain text. One type of note I keep is an “atomic” note inside my zettelkasten (this is a fancy way of keeping track of ideas and the way they connect together, but you need to revisit them for it to be useful. Kinda like anki / spaced reputation I guess).

So enough background, here’s the idea and the programming:

• If I always open a terminal, it’s a good place to put stuff I want to see.

• There are two things I want to see: twice a day I want to see a note, the rest of the time I want to see the 3 or 4 most important tasks on my todo list

• I want randomized notes and I want it to be automatic.

One of the easiest things you can do in a terminal is “echo” text. So I started by, in my terminal “rc” file (the configuration file that tells the terminal what to do when you start it) echoing my todo list as the very last step in the start process. Then it’s refinement. First don’t give me the whole list, use shell tools to show the head of the list. Now make a conditional statement that says “if there’s a file called “temp” in some folder give me the Todo list, otherwise do nothing”. Basically we follow the incremental logic train until you get the final product:

• If no file exists, print a note (at random) and then make the file
• If the file exists write part of the todo list
• Every 6 hours, delete the file automatically with cron

Neat you just programmed a lame, but useful tool.

Haven’t seen it, but it’s been recommended to me.

There’s a stand out episode of Burn Notice that always comes to mind as an example, but I don’t have it handy to share.

Hobby 1: Ballroom dancing

It is surprisingly difficult to get into a good dance position, especially for the standard (waltz, tango, foxtrot, quickstep, Viennese waltz) dances. Two actors walk up to each other and it’s apparent even before they touch that they have no idea WTF they are doing: they aren’t even standing up correctly.

Hobby 2: Chess

Smart guy walks over and absolutely beats the pants off of anyone else playing like 30 seconds after they get taught the rules or from glancing over the shoulder of someone else playing the game. It’s all “aha! Mate in 4!”.

No way dude. It is way, way not that easy. There’s “good at chess” and there’s “GOOD at chess”. Unless you are part of a very large club or are taking lessons from someone at or above the master level, you probably don’t know anybody in the second category. Dr. House is not going to blindfold beat anyone like that.

If you say so.

Whatever you say man :).

I don’t do “turn the other cheek” on the internet, but you can if you like. I prefer to deliver a pique and block; it doesn’t raise my blood pressure any, but hopefully there’s a lingering rankle for anyone who doesn’t have anything nice to say and can’t keep their emotions in check. A little sprinkle of sand in the old underoos if you will.

I can and I do. Its easy enough to block simple angry fuckers like you one at a time. Thanks for volunteering to sit down and shut up in my feed.

And all I want is to never see sports related communities. So I guess I win there…

Unfortunately I also never want to see anything that mentions anime or manga and in that department it’s serious whackamole for me.

And you sound like a moron. OP didn’t say anything and you said even less.

I’m just sitting here waiting for the point of what you said. 60 people upvoted, but you didn’t say anything.

The phrase of the day (which you should Google of you downvote this) is pseudo-profound bullshit.

#loose

Fat people can lose weight. Loose people… are more fun I presume.

Cookie’s what?

Very human

You’re welcome!
