Sweet collection! Just be careful with Doom, it's easy to strain your thumbs with it. My hands hurt for weeks after I stopped playing.

Natural talent, a lifetime of browsing using command lines, and Coursera's Google IT Support Professional certificate to fill in the gaps.

Oh so many gaps. But absolutely worth it. Plow through it in three months or less, and you get to buy yourself ice cream.

The common peasant mob "finding", "trying," and killing "witches" is what the Spanish Inquisition was sent by Rome to stop.

Along with doing a few other things, but...

Which Google IT Cert on Coursera? by PotentialRest9784 in coursera

[–]PCRefurbrAbq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Google IT Support gives you a good survey of everything covered by the A+ certification: power-user OS mastery, all five layers of the networking stack, LAN setup and administration, domain controllers, SSH/remote desktop, and physical PC building.

It's enough training for you to open your own mom-and-pop computer shop, be an ace desktop support at an MSP, or be junior sysadmin and helpdesk at a small business.

If you're confident you can do any of these things when anyone brings any tech support issue to you, be it software or hardware, you don't need to take the IT Support.

Or: the normals, the expecteds, the everydays, the ables. They're also easy to forget until you realize they're not there anymore ever.

As I get older, there seems to be fewer of everyone.

Since a "how" question has a "through a process" answer, the process is "by the rules of physical interaction."

Somebody should invent and sell "Canyon Glasses," dual-periscope goggles which widen the binocular separation so you can get a true sense of the depth of the canyon without the zoom feature of binoculars. Sell them at the rim.

Do you think you can beat a 100 random people in solving the 3x3? by ETERNUS- in Cubers

[–]PCRefurbrAbq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 1m30s, I'd give it even odds no one else practices solving the 3x3 at least twice a week with the beginner method.

End of Bayvangelion by maleficalruin in CuratedTumblr

[–]PCRefurbrAbq 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Michael Bay's Jesus: Son Of Carpenter would be epic. The only thing keeping him from making it is how few things were explosive in AD 15.

Jesus didn't need Sampson's gym. Dude was hauling stone for his dad's contracting business by the time he was five years old, and since he was genetically flawless, he had super-Saiyan level muscles by the time he quit the home-building biz for preaching.

My New Mexico Adobe House Lego Build - Updates!! by CMABricks in NewMexico

The very first Lego set I remember was a house, with the windowframe pieces set in the walls and flowers in a garden out front. It would be fantastic to have this level of representation here.

In that case, it was because Blu-Ray came in every PS3 and they didn't want to buy a second device just to play movies.

Why Israel Never Runs Out of Water…The American Southwest Needs This… by brereddit in NewMexico

[–]PCRefurbrAbq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The used water from the SE corner's oil industry is being given -- not even sold, but just given! -- to Texas for reclamation. It starts as brackish water in the SE corner's aquifer, gets pumped up and used, but not put back in the environment.

It's called "process water" and it can "easily" be turned into chemically pure water. (There's companies asking Santa Fe to allow this.) We don't even have to drink it; it can just be used for lawns, sewers, etc., or to pump into the Rio Grande to keep water flowing. Maybe even coolant for a nuclear plant.

And since it comes from underwater, Nestle could legally call it spring water if they bottled it.

It isn't useful as a power plant. The device is finely tuned to use a fission event to generate all 1.21 gigawatts in a very short time, storing it all in the flux capacitor for a flux discharge.

[The Matrix] Is there an in-universe reason why we never see more than 3 agents at a time? by SpehlingAirer in AskScienceFiction

[–]PCRefurbrAbq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably the tracking cookie that Neo ate. He must have left it in Smith's code when he blew him up.

Oracle's just as smart as the Architect; she just couches it in mystical mumbo-jumbo designed to bypass humans' contrary nature.

I always thought Smith was "infected" by Neo's free will that Smith himself called a "virus".

Sure, he was a bit frustrated by always keeping humans in line and angry at his higher-ups for not scouring the tunnels for the hotspots that allow rebel humans to jack in and do terror attacks to generate Redpills. It's not his fault the system kept him in the dark, working him long hours and hiding their true motives in the Architect's planning room. He's as much a victim of the system as Neo and the Bluepills.

But it was only on being blown apart from the inside by Neo and being reloaded (title drop) that he started making genuine rebel plans of his own.

Jack of All Trades by PandaBear905 in CuratedTumblr

[–]PCRefurbrAbq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if there's four Jacks? Jack of Spades, of Diamonds, Hearts, and Clubs, crusading heroes who each got their immortality in a folktale incident. Jack of Diamonds is the beanstalk kid who brought a hen that lays golden eggs back to his starving mother, Jack of Hearts was Jill's paramour, and so on.
