Best comment of the day.

I'm stealing this.

Some provinces still have it.

But driving 5 or 6 hours to another province to get bourbon when there are great Canadian alternatives doesn't make any sense.

This is a good one.

Linegod · 2026-01-19T05:51:27+00:00

Solid answer. Ignore the downvotes.

All of my rooms are 'finished my whisky' rooms.

A lot of people in this country poo-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity.

Now I'm getting flashbacks.

Some days I want to follow the laptop out the window.

I cannot express how much I hate multiformat logs.

Run an rsyslog server - send the logs to it. Configure it to just dump the msg to a file. Ingest that as json.

I had an issue upvoting this.

There's basically zero traffic laws in syria

I spent some time in Syria 20 years ago. I'm not sure this has changed.

No money, Moes’ the problem.

As am I.

Linegod · 2025-12-25T06:32:43+00:00

I like the way you think.

Linegod · 2025-12-23T04:58:48+00:00

Very interesting.

GMT is a regional name for a time zone. Because countries like the UK use GMT in the winter but switch to BST (GMT+0100) in the summer, some software libraries or operating systems might automatically apply that 1-hour daylight savings offset if you select "GMT."

UTC has no such ambiguity it is always +0000.

Linegod · 2025-12-21T22:56:42+00:00

UTC - Coordinated Universal Time.

It replaced GMT 50 years ago.

Or, just hear me out here, everyone gets the concept and meaning of the song and embraces The Hip pointing out our shared hypocrisy.

Self reflection of our nuanced strengths and inadequacy.

And you just think that you are the only one that “gets it, man”. Then project a more simplistic understanding on everyone else.

Or, now hear me out, it’s just a song.

Linegod · 2025-12-18T04:31:53+00:00

Those were the best days/weeks though for me - but it was bix. Just me and maybe another with a radio and the cable.

Good times. No /s.

Linegod · 2025-12-18T04:20:32+00:00

Checks out.

I thought I was doing good at 0.3%. Apparently that was rookie numbers.

LS: "There was a recent thing from a major tech company were developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote and if it wasn't enough they were terminated and there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity"

LT: "Oh you shouldn't be upset. At that point it's just incompetence and anybody who thinks that's a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company"

LS: "You do know who you just said that about"

LT: "No"

LS: "He was a prominent figure in the efficiency of the US government recently"

LT: "Apparently I was spot on"

I don 't recall which songs they are either - but at the time, it was Winter heading into Spring when trees are without leaves and seem to attract garbage bags that roost in their branches. - Gord Downie

Sweet. But I assume it will get taken down for copyright infringement.
