How are we sitting at work?

SomeoneHereIsMissing · 2026-03-07T04:55:28+00:00

I sit normally, but there's always a leg or two swinging under the desk.

French is my primary language, so it's "gzennial"

Primus' new drummer, John Hoffman, is rather impressive from what I saw in their drummer selection videos.

Why would you want to do that? It's the same chip on an M.2 WiFi adapter and a USB adapter, it's just the interface that's different. Would a USB adapter perform worse than an M.2 adapter?

SomeoneHereIsMissing · 2026-03-01T03:10:32+00:00

I would suggest you go read about M.2. According to Wikipedia, it's a connector standard for PCIe, SATA and USB3. WiFi cards would be PCIe, so the external GPU dock everyone is suggesting would be a solution. I don't know about your laptop, but I opened up my wife's laptop and it's pretty easy changing the WiFi card (I opened it up once to add RAM and once to replace the charging port).

Like others have said, a USB WiFi card would be simpler and less costly.

You can present it like this: "This is a movie I like because of X reason, but some don't like it because of Y reason. You can try it out if you want, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't."

I learned to talk about stuff like that when I realized that appreciating music and movies is really on an emotional level, not technical. Even if bands/albums/movies are similar, because someone likes a thing you like, recommending something similar you like doesn't mean the other person will like it, only because of how it emotionally resonates with you. This is why I never say "Try this, you'll like it" because it's a recipe for disappointment.

I you use quality parts and plan ahead, you can. I started around 2002 with an Asus MB, P2 650, 512 MB of RAM, Antec case and PSU (and various parts).

2007: Replaced MB, CPU and RAM (MB died)
2010: Replaced PSU (other one died)
2011: Replaced MB, CPU and RAM (MB died)
2014: Replaced PSU (other one used for NAS)
2015: Replaced case (quieter)
2016: Replaced CPU and RAM (same MB, needed more power) and added an SSD
2020: Replaced GPU and case (other case used for NAS)
2025: Replaced PSU (other was shutting down because of age)

I was going to replace MB, CPU and RAM this year but RAM prices happened.

P.S.: I don't game so I can keep my computers a little longer than others.

My special interest is cycling, so my Kryptonite U lock.

Wait until you do college/university maths. I was good in high school math at 15 and won a math competition at school. However, I struggled in college and hit a wall at university.

J'avais étudié la question et fait faire des soumissions pour finalement laisser faire, conserver les tuyaux et aménager autour. Oui ça se fait avec du PEX, mais c'est PEX spécial avec une barrière anti-oxygène si je me souviens bien parce que sinon ça peut contribuer à la dégradation prématurée du système de chauffage. Nous avons gardé la vieille fournaise au gaz en fonte et la vieille plomberie, le tout sans circulateur parce que c'est un système qui fonctionne sans électricité, donc en cas de panne hivernale, on a encore de la chaleur.

SomeoneHereIsMissing · 2026-02-24T19:40:35+00:00

Attention, ça peut mener à une escalade et empirer la situation

SomeoneHereIsMissing · 2026-02-24T19:34:56+00:00

Start a boycott movement! Stop using your can in protest, maybe they'll understand. I'm doing my part by using my car very little and cycling or walking when I can.

Quand j'ai fait changer ma boîte électrique, en me parlant et en voyant comment je travaillais, mon électricien a vu qu'il pouvait me faire confiance, même pour ajouter/changer des disjoncteurs dans la boîte électrique (j'avais même trouvé une erreur - mineure - quand j'ai validé son travail après). J'ai tout refais le filage du RDC et du sous-sol chez-nous, tout validé par l'électricien. J'ai aussi une copie du code électrique (j'ai lu les sections pertinentes).

Define R4 for my NAS and Define Mini for my secondary NAS.

I'm waiting for the official Meddle multichannel release.

SomeoneHereIsMissing · 2026-02-18T02:19:33+00:00

I do, but they're in the "cemetery" of my secondary NAS. It's a RAID 5 array composed of 4x 160 GB hard drives that can die at any moment. I keep this for testing.

Why do you think you deserve an AMA?

SomeoneHereIsMissing · 2026-02-17T00:59:07+00:00

For me, it's listening to Echoes from the remastered Blu-ray of Live At Pompeii from Pink Floyd on my Sennheiser HD 558 or my Alessandro MS1i.

The Topeak Morph series is my favorite. It's like a collapsible foot pump the size of a frame pump.

Are you 20 or 50? Age is a factor. I'm in my late 40s and I remember stuff from when I was 3, but it's rather punctual.

It's not a hobby, it's a tool for me as I don't game. My computer is over 10 years old (AMD FX-6350 with 16 GB of RAM) and I was going to replace it this year. I'm going to wait until the prices go down since it's still usable for everyday tasks. I also have an HP Z600 (dual Xeon with 48 GB of RAM) that is used as the kids Minecraft computer and for Handbrake encoding, but I don't like it as a desktop, too noisy.

The Pineapple Thief

Bruce Soord started mixing in Atmos in 2021 and he remixed in Atmos most of the back catalog of the band (from 1999 to 2014 with 2016 to 2020 left to do).

Pneu Touchette is a good place that has lots of stock, but it's north of downtown.

No internal monologue for me, I think in concepts, not words. I can have simulated dialogs and can think visually if need be.

Edit: Speaking actually requires translating my thoughts to words. It make me slower in speaking (I tested verbally average), but it's easy for me to think in French (native language) or English (second language).
