Angry motorcycle guys, a chair thrown.

I didn't notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be "away" so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while "away".

Yep. Parks and Recreation was an amazing show, but I almost gave up on it during season one. So glad I powered through.

That's basically what EFI booting does.

Initramfs's main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It's also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.

I don't really have a solid answer, and have only recently gone down the TrekLit rabbit hole, but I'd venture a couple of guesses:

  1. Many of them utilize existing characters, so that might be problematic given the age of the cast and/or their availability.
  2. I vaguely recall that existing characters for different series have to pay royalties to the writer who invented the character. I think this was the case for Nick Locarno and why Tom Paris is basically "We have Nick Locarno at home"
  3. Probably some other IP legalese mucking things up as it is wont to do

When I posted yesterday looking to get some book suggestions, many of them involved existing characters. I think the "The Fall" series is all original characters, so it would probably be a good candidate. There's probably others, but I'm not familiar enough yet to name any more.

The actor age / availability problem is probably solvable if the series was animated, though.

Latest alt of a long term persistent troll who has nothing better to do with their life. Would be sad if they weren't such an obnoxious POS. Wish I had that kind of free time.

Looks like they got lazy and setup a bot on an endless loop.

Also, toast.ooo clearly needs to set some damn rate limits.

Crushed hand in equipment? Inaprovaline.

Gastric discomfort? Inaprovaline.

Clinically dead? Believe it or not, Inaprovaline.

I think Nedry's death in the book is that for me. The movie version is practically G-rated compared to how it went down in the novel.

This episode was directed by Johnathan Frakes, the actor who portrayed Thomas Riker in “Second Chances” and “Defiant”

I knew I recognized him!

Also, this image is fucking with my head.

Should I have gone with Pooh Laren?

They enabled Anubis on Sopuli but erroneously applied it to the API and pict-rs paths yesterday. That's probably what's messing it up and why it works in a browser.

So someone asked an underpaid employee something completely unrelated to what they're not paid enough to do, he wasn't super nice, so they doxxed him? And that's the joke?

Am I missing something here?
