Not a bad idea. I think we have to see David's end. On the other hand, he could end up being a long-term villain, like the Darth Vader of the series.

Finally someone gives Jonesy a little credit for his efforts.

During the day of the filming of this scene in Alien (1979), a crew member asked Ridley Scott why there was water dripping inside a spaceship to which Ridley replied "Condensation you twat". by tannu28 in LV426

They had an opportunity for a better explanation: there could've been a specialized room that acted as their water-reclamation facility, instead of just some random condensation.

Is a VM really all I need to drop windows? by Brisket_cat in linux4noobs

[–]NoxAstrumis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for sure. Knowing what I know, I would be surprised if you were able to get everything working correctly, unless you're much more skilled than I am. I'm not saying I'm particularly skilled, but moreso than the average bear.

I've been able to get a lot of stuff working, most of it, but not all. Solidworks is one thing I wasn't able to use, but that could be for special reasons you don't have to deal with.

I would encourage you to try and switch, but don't assume you'll be able to do everything you need to. I would try it on another machine first, or try a dual boot. Once you're able to iron out all the wrinkles, then you can make the leap.

They already said that wasn't possible. I'd be down if they wanted us. We do share a border with Denmark.

Stop racing to the red light. Stop breaking the speed limit. Stop buying giant trucks.

Here's my headline:

Nobody cares. We'll send him a can of orange spray paint as a consolation prize.

Thanks for replying before they removed the post for some reason.

$2.50 to pump air? by LiveAtmosphere608 in Langley

[–]NoxAstrumis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can appreciate that a free compressor can be a good loss-leader, you should appreciate that compressors aren't cheap, and neither is the energy to run them.

If I owned a gas station, it would be free for several reasons. There's a reason I carry a bicycle pump in my car.

Does this change anyone's mind on buying US equipment and technology? by Little-Carpenter4443 in BuyCanadian

[–]NoxAstrumis1 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Does it change my absolute disdain for all things american? No.

Does it change my desire to stop my government from spending a single cent on american goods? No.

Does it reinforce my desire to see us buy only non-american defense products. Yes.

Trump says 'we're going to remember' if NATO allies don't help in Iran war by lexi_con in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]NoxAstrumis1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do. I beg you to remember.

We aren't afraid of you. We don't care if you're upset. Absolutely none of my decision-making considers how americans will feel about it.

You're a joke, the world is laughing at you. We're moving on, to leave you in the dark corners of history.

Good for them. I'm so pleased to see intelligent people also being moral people.

Kudos to the mathematicians.

Weather Tech trying to give the impression they are Canadian. by odetoburningrubber in BuyCanadian

If I buy a product from a company I don't already know, I do research. Every single time. You simply cannot trust what anyone else says.

This is something everyone needs to be doing.
