I had a cheap generator. I plugged in an extention cord through the window, into a powerstrip with the fridge, modem and 2 sockets to charge devices. Worked perfectly when I needed it but I also had a kerosene space heater so I wasn't too concerned about freezing(bring all blankets into the living room, build a blanket fort atleast 6 feet away from the space heater and have everyone cuddle, calms people down, provides warmth and forms bonds.

That is true. Lovelace and Margaret Hamilton are both great women in computing. Arguably up there with babage and turing but not nearly as well known.

It is probably ip based since they are asking for your ip. Unplug your modem for 10 seconds, plug it back in, and you will get a new ip address and should be to access the site again

Do you know the first words spoken from a native American to the pilgrims?

"Can I have a beer?"

No, I'm not joking. It was a native American named Samoset. He spoke perfect English and had crossed the Atlantic 6 times.

There seems to be a popular community ich_el I think. For German memes... I don't understand a word of it but it has multiple posts a day.

I looked it up https://feddit.org/c/ich_iel

I think this is the problem with legacy code. It's not that it's old but that 35 people each with their own coding standards and practices.

Maybe this says something about me but I would write a script to get the excel file from the email and then do whatever you did to it.

At what point would it not be financially viable to just a write a program for the entry on your budget and then send it to the rural places?

Even more fun... Ask random unrelated questions until they break...

What was the horsepower of a 1971 horsepower?

Where did the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" come from?

What is the square root of 144?

How many moons does the earth have? (this is fun because it's anywhere from 0 to 1 to 2 to many depending on the definition of moon of which there is no formal definition)

Bonus tip: works in haunted houses too. A zombie jumps out "I'm going to eat your brains!" just respond with a unrelated question "what is your favorite TV show?" it shifts their thoughts so much most of actors in a haunted house will break character.

If you want to totally mess up a haunted house when ever someone jumps out ask them a unrelated question.

"I will eat your brains!"

"where was your last vacation?"

"my family is dead and soon you will join them"

"what is 10x15+7?"

Most people will stop acting and think of the answer completely destroying the effect of the haunted house.

The pictures are human girls but they are treated like real tanks. For example they don't have a nurse, they have a mechanic.

I moved halfway across the country(NJ to TX) 10 years ago, my move went ok but another co-worker was supposed to move about 3 months later. As he was packing the truck he heard on the news there were tornados near the new place and figured let me just check..

He called up his new apartment complex to confirm everything was OK... "we'll call you back" an hour later he got a phone call "sorry your apartment no longer exists"

He had 5 days to finish packing, drive 29 hours, find a new apartment, do all the paperwork, unpack, return the moving truck, and come to work at 6am the 6th day. I don't know how he did it but he did.

No matter how bad it is, it could always be worse.

I think I'm going to take sobriety more honestly now. On Monday I was at work and threw up some stomach acid. I decided to take a half day and told my boss who was ok with it. I went to shut down my computer and next thing I knew I was in an ambulance. Just got out of hospital yesterday, supposedly I had a seizure from withdrawal.

Im taking next week off from work to take care of myself but that was scary and I don't want to go through that again. I knew I was getting bad but didn't expect it to be that bad. I never got wasted, just commonly had a buzz to feel normal. The hospital stay sucked and I was completely out of it for most of it. Now I can't drive for 3 months(not a dui but state law regarding seizures).
