Status: I hate hate hate games of chance...
I only play games of chance that I can manipulate in my favor.
Like Blackjack.
I should clarify: I hate games of chance that I can't manipulate where the odds of winning trash is smaller than 34900:1. And that's trash prizes.

I think the post with Molly in charge might have been more coherent.

@Luhmann Exactly

@loopback0 Letting Molly take over @Lorne-Kates's posts in the garage would certainly raise the quality of discussion there.

Status: spent three hours making 56 mince pies and then was too tired and fed up of cooking (it was fun for the first two hours) to cook anything else right away and now it's too late to start dinner but I'm hungry. I could just eat mince pies I guess.

Fuck Microsoft.So refreshing windows 10 nukes appdata/roaming.
The description of the feature seemed to imply otherwise to me - something about keeping personal data.
I thought Firefox bookmarks belonged to those.
At least it was my secondary pc, not my main one. So I can just copy my bookmarks from there.
But FUCK MICROSOFT.
And fuck ASUS for being the reason why I even tried refreshing windows 10.

We agree with your statement. No need for flamewar :)

Had a daemon and a client using a UDP socket for really simple IPC -- client sends a message, daemon replies "Yes" or "No".
Just realized the client will have to send two parameters, actually, and if I want to keep the effective simplicity of the code, it'd really make sense to use RPC. But I have no idea what RPC mechanisms are available to me "out of the box" on Linux, nor what stub compilers I should use-- damn it.

(Reasonable explanation: All I wanted was a 1U rackmount switch. 24 ports is way overkill but it was on sale for $40 after rebate.)

Why does True Touch have a symbol that looks like a paw. Is it for dogs? But dogs don't use tablets. Unless you trained your dog to. But that glove has five fingers and not four. It won't fit a dog.
NOTHING IN THE WORLD MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!!

It says FIVE FINGER DESHEDDING GLOVE, which I assume is something related to bikesheds and the color blue.

TiL @Lorne-Kates 's approximate eye focus distance thingy (wth is that even?!).
It's actually a grooming toy for when you do it doggy-style for the cleanliness.

Then the Chinese website in Edge, I guess to appeal to the Chinese market?
And their stupid note taking over webpage thing that will be forgotten in 6 months.
It's like someone gave them a looooong list of marketing plugs, and they had to check every last fucking one of them.
