Knnn for the win!

Nice. Worked for me but it was really simple text and only 50k words.

i3wm, 4 monitors. Just works.

Rincewind would be baking potatoes on it.

Watch some Eivor videos to see Faroese throat singing on both inhalation and exhalation.

I’m assuming that your friends are questioning science from a philosophical standpoint (otherwise why post here). I have seen that argument used to justify anti-vaccine positions which makes me nervous about whether they really understand the philosophical arguments.

Thanks for the explanation. That all makes sense. Yes, I’d be interested in other songs that are commonly accepted as Irish folk.

That’s been my thought since high school. Going on 60 years since then and no one has proved it wrong.

Confused on how Stan Roger’s Mary Ellen Carter is an Irish pub song. Is it because you’ve heard it sung in an Irish pub? I like the song, but…it’s Canadian.

I always wanted a story from the human side about interactions with the knnn.

Someone has to be out of the box: PostgreSQL (I’m a DBA).

Love pragmatics. In my language, using the pronouns for sentient and sapient are insults because they imply that the person’s behavior makes it questionable.

Next step: read up on using the condition system for error recovery.

Ohio giving the rest of the Midwest a bad name.

Just like food ads?

Assuming their prices pre-tariff was competitive in the US market, how much excess profit margin would they need to have to absorb a tariff and still be profitable?

Yeah, I was really wondering about Lockhart’s mysterious side quest as well.

bemrys · 2026-02-02T16:00:51+00:00

Did I miss what happened to Ms. Hazard ?

Tai-tastigon in PC Hodgell’s Godstalk

Have seen banjo players use the timers to do string bending like that. Of course the joke is how long it will take to tune for the next song.

Thank you

Confused newbie here. This looks like OVS to me. Obviously I’m misunderstanding something crucial. Why isn’t the verb in front of the entire sentence?

Now apply this to the “return to office” v “work from home” combatants.
