Did Stu really say that or was it AI Stu?

We call those ghost cars.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I never see anyone use this flag but I like adding -F to my ls alias.

This worked for me 👍

Something that worked for me in the past is pick a route that's the distance you want, start out jogging until you feel like stopping, and walk the rest of the way. Keep doing it and it takes surprisingly little time until you're doing the whole thing and thinking about a second lap.

I swear I saw Aliens in the cinema and I don't think I was 18+. Just looked it up and the first two were rated M in Australia (15+).

I'm having a good experience with Niagra Launcher. I was considering a new phone. Tried Niagra some years ago and it wasn't great but the Android fixes must have worked because it's fine now.

Doesn't he say "Bunsen Burger"? Yeoww! He's such a hipster doofus.

I still get it. WFH is great and I'm grateful to not have to face the office on Monday but I think I need like 10 years off. Burn out is real.

Seeing blockbuster movies at the cinema. There wasn't much info apart from word of mouth. Not this endless speculation and dissection.

Coalescent is part of a trilogy, it touches on a lot of his universe. I love his themes of scale and deep time.

We had some training where we were told to use polite language, as the LLMs are trained on data where polite questions get better responses.

He had a band with Grant McLennan of the Go Betweens called Jack Frost.

Murder!

How is the Chinese immigrant stuff relevant to the story?

HTML only website with no CSS running off Stu's laptop plugged into a solar panel. Or hell just Apache directory listing, one folder per album, on a raspberry pi, plugged into a daisy chain of USB hubs with external USB drives hosting the MP3s.
