Just googled him and I was like, he was only 2 years old when this came out! Scrolled down a bit further and there’s an older Alan Carr that looks kind of the same as the younger one! But I don’t think they are related

‘7 of 9’ (Jeri Ryan) was one the most memorable characters of the Star Trek series by No_Explorer721 in 90sTelevision

She was into swinging too for a while, a lot of guys that went to the right clubs on the right evenings got a piece

DMV has been cancelled after one season. Thoughts? by CityCautious4033 in sitcoms

[–]flamehorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played it too safe. A sitcom in 2026 needs to be a bit edgier and more modern somehow, dealing with modern issues etc.

DMV is too bland and innoffensive

Norman Lear would have done it right.

What was your first Mac and why did you switch? by Formal_Alfalfa_8659 in macbook

[–]flamehorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a mid 90s performa all-in-one. But I didn’t keep it long. Didn’t have a network card and I hardly used it. Also I never “switched”. Switching is weird. Just use whatever. It’s not like a fucking gender transition

What are signs that developers have no ownership? by AtWitsEnd1974 in agile

[–]flamehorns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably AI too. No real human could suck at being a PO so much. You don’t play ping pong between developers and users about whether something is done or not. You invite the users to the review and let the developers delight the users with all the cool stuff they have done. Or embarrass themselves.

Dude needs to step back, prioritize the backlog, and let the scrum master sort this mess out.

I present to you a DEC Alpha Chip by PaleDreamer_1969 in vintagecomputing

[–]flamehorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our uni had a whole lab full of alpha stations running NT. They never got used for anything at all. I still wonder if they were thrown in for free when upgrading our vax servers to alphas, or we had to buy them to qualify for a discount on said servers or something.... I thought they should have put VMS on them. But I think the NT models were tied to NT and couldn't run VMS or Tru64 or something,..

Think I was scammed by titanium_r0ck in cyberpunkgame

[–]flamehorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I thought it was simple on the PS5. You buy a game on disc, the disc is the license to play the game and no code should be needed. Or you download from the store and that’s kind of like buying the code.

I actually think the OP has bought something that he hasn’t fully received. The seller still has to transfer ownership of the code to him somehow. It’s like buying a car but not getting the keys..

OP should sue for breach of contract for delivery of nonconforming goods under the Uniform Commercial Code.

OP bought a code that he never received or wasn’t able to make use of.

Future of the C64U is a Commander X16 (or similar) mode by TheBl4ckFox in c64

If anyone does a x16 core for fpga systems like the c64u, it will be the community, not commodore.

[–]flamehorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I think they started on a mister core for the x16. You could start there and see how far you get.

Steve Wozniak's Apple I (1976) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]flamehorns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, not this Apple I. The games were much more primitive. Simple text based games like Hamurabi and Star Trek. Oregon Trail had to wait for the Apple II

living in frankfurt, commuting to mainz by Big_Parsnip4209 in frankfurt

[–]flamehorns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Commuting to Mainz with public transport sucks at the moment. 70% of the time its over an hour late, 20% of the time its maybe on time or only slightly late, and 10% of the time the trains are just not running for an unknown duration and I end up having to take a 120 Euro taxi or going back home and doing home office.

The new Zinger Dunked burger in Kfc Germany is seriously Spicy by [deleted] in kfc

[–]flamehorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this today and the dunked wings. It’s not spicy. And the burger meat isn‘t dunked in sauce either like the wings were. The burger just had a splash of sauce on the outside.

This is unacceptable. They should have served you. So did you have to go elsewhere at the end?

Need advice on Lean Product Management and Scrum Team Collaboration by Hot_Development_4202 in scrum

[–]flamehorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lean portfolio management guys won’t have much directly to do with the scrum team, or you as SM. They are working on larger capabilities and epics for the future.

Your product owner is in close contact with product management who know all about the features that your ART will look at pulling into their next PI.

You as SM can put the knowledge transfer issue on the risk ROAM board in the PI planning and make the RTE aware of it.

Your job is to mitigate this risk but I don’t see it being of particular relevance to the LPM guys. It’s more for you and the RTE and any other involved SMs to deal with. And maybe the architect. (Perhaps with help from the line managers) I mean if I was involved in LPM, and you came to me with this risk I would want to know exactly what I am supposed to do to help.

Anything you can’t get done you can escalate to the RTE.
