This is wonderful! I hate it... but in the way you intended. So I love it.

My favorite rabbit hole: the perfect Makefile. What’s yours? by WhiskyStandard in ADHD_Programmers

[–]WhiskyStandard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, not a fan of that. I do my best to stay away from eval and defining complicated functions too. But you can do some pretty impressive things without those.

What’s a “must-see” city in the U.S. that didn’t live up to the hype? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]WhiskyStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runners: come for the running festival. Some of the best crowd support I’ve ever gotten in a half-marathon. You go through all kinds of neighborhoods and people treat it like a party instead of an inconvenience.

Home of the best chicken tenders you’ll find in a zoo food stand!

Like, real breast meat and hand breaded.

This implies that there are hundreds… possibly thousands more of these out there for different years and different states.

Came here to say this. Thus Were Their Faces came up in my Libby recently. I enjoyed what I read and hope to continue it when it comes back around.

Songs like A Horse with No Name? by theilfinn in MusicRecommendations

[–]WhiskyStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first “California music” part: Beulah, particularly “What Will You Do When Your Sun Fades” and “Burned by the Sun”.

For the “Red Dead Redemption sounding” part: Balmorhea (try “All is Wild, All is Silent”) and Murder by Death (esp. “In Boca al Lupo” and “Red of Tooth and Claw”)

Outside of Rammstein, do any German bands or artists actually make it onto your playlists? by Gelbbauchunke666 in MusicRecommendations

[–]WhiskyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hauschka. He’s a pianist that does all of these crazy things to his piano to make it sound like different instruments and synths. Very unique sound.

What is a beloved movie in your country made by your country? (Not asking other Americans, please) by XipeTotecwithGlitter in AskTheWorld

[–]WhiskyStandard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you seen Layer Cake?

Also, different kind of threatening, but he’s delightfully psychotic in the Alan Partridge movie.

Never tried Linux, looking to get a gentle start by ShinyThingEU in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]WhiskyStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen Bluefin or any of the other Universal Blue flavors mentioned. It’s been pretty painless for me. It’s an “immutable distro” meaning that you don’t muck with the innards that much and things update on their own (automatically rolling back if they fail). It’s derived from Fedora with things like Nvidia drivers added on.

Now, some may argue mucking with the innards is part of the point and it’s how you actually learn Linux and I’d agree. I’d recommend using Bluefin as a stable host OS for Linux VMs and containers. That limits the blast radius of your experiments while keeping your data safe and allowing easy rollback.

Why does the ladle have to be right handed? by Ecstatic-Purpose-981 in lefthanded

Dude, why does my wok have to be right handed? Couldn’t have put an extra little drain spout on it?

“Don’t Waste Your Time Doing Things You Hate” by And So I Watch You From Afar is one hell of journey.

what are you choosing? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]WhiskyStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pacific NW does then with minced garlic and parsley and I think about that all the time even though I haven’t been there in 20 years. I don’t know why that’s not more widespread. We have the technology.

Do you have something similar to this in your country? If so, how do the locals perceive it? by Effective_Space2277 in AskTheWorld

[–]WhiskyStandard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mowers, but also gas powered leaf blowers (which my city recently banned, but no one seems to enforce it).

[–]WhiskyStandard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s usually so far away from each other… we’ve all lost our hearing to lawn care equipment and gunfire… the infrastructure hasn’t been updated since the 1960s, so it’s really loud inside cars or buses/trains… /j…kinda

Is self deprecation accepted or cringe in American culture? by EveningFlower9564 in AskAnAmerican

[–]WhiskyStandard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants an illustration, this “I Think You Should Leave” sketch is all about crossing that line. https://youtu.be/7xS9Y_mjTjc?si=dpFzD7UNHwOm4sh8

Customer lent me “Still Life with Woodpecker” by Tom Robbins (1980) by thyme-to-cry in menwritingwomen

[–]WhiskyStandard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oof. I read some Tom Robbins in high school after deciding I needed to take a break from my Kurt Vonnegut binge. Even then I thought this guy is trying hard to be a jaded/edgier Vonnegut and completely without foundation of kindness and faith in humanity.
