It’s only logical - more immigrants means more water is drunk

Him, and CathodeRayDude were my immediate thoughts. Both are great, but neither do new stuff.

Disclaimer: I don’t know, and I have no particular k owledge in this field, I’m only reasoning here…

I think those four directions are natural to use regardless of culture, based on our senses and bodies. There are things you can see, and things you can’t, namely in front of you and behind you. And your references to the sides would naturally be your hands, where most people can distinguish right as dominant. These would serve as simple reference points in terms of directions, so the question is, if your bodies were different, for example asymetric, would our directions also be?

Imagine of we had four ears, two forward and two back, could that result in eight basic directions? What would it take for us to have three?

Still four directions, but it’s interesting that they use an absolute point of reference as opposed to the more common relative ones.

You can. But the prefilled one implies they’re already OK with the terms. Adding/changing stuff requires their approval. If both parties agree to the altered version, then there’s no problem.

I doubt they’ll allow a special case just for you, though.

I have returned additions/corrections to employment contracts and had them accepted. My usually go to is to change the overly broad “we own all IPRs developed by you” to “we own all IPRs that come from work related tasks or as a direct furtherance thereof”. If they want to own anything I developed outside work for my own projects then that’s fine, but then they’d have to pay extra.

Thanks for drawing it so I didn’t have to; I got nerd sniped from seeing what seemed like two identical circuits with shared ground

Free except from the drive to get there. But the drive is a lot cheaper than those racks would cost.

Vent fans at the top and the bottom. But it can be next to my work desk without the hardware getting annoying.

Not working on anything particular, but I’m going on a road trip on Tuesday to this regional airport that is giving away two racks perfect for my use case. Deep enough for my larger machines, sound proofed and 42U tall.

Finally my hardware can have a proper rack instead of being in a stack/pile in this harrypotteresque locker under my stairs.

Sounds like a problem that would solve itself

Maritime radio has a lot of French in it

Not much these days. While it used to be “everything”, now it’s:

• Http/https
• dns
• Wireguard
• Minecraft
• beegfs

This is the way. At least half of it.

On top of that, you use umask and add a sticky bit, so that everything new will have the right group bit set - no need for a cronjob.

That does make me slightly less pessimistic, but the target audience remains the same.

I’m having a hard time imagining that the end-result would be anything other than a watered down copy that has been focus tested to fail completely at hilighting the societal differences between the people upstairs and downstairs.

I bet the first half would be overly goofy, and the second half more akin to slapstick. I have not a shred of belief that they’ll be able to capture tiny details such as the head of the house literally stepping over someone bleeding out (or was she already dead?) to focus on his son.

I don’t have an snwer for you, I just came here to ask: E du vegaværing?

My knee-jerk reaction is “yes”, but keep in mind that any new identity assumed, while within the same circumstances, can be linked to your old one.

If you want to shed your old identity, then do so. But assume a temporary one, and once you jump platform, ISP, and other identifying factors, take on a “clean” username.

There’s more to identification than username and IP, so if you take on a new identity, make sure that it’s not possible to link the two.

Yup. I have very diverse taste un music and I found that some albums are merely a collection of songs written around the same time. While other albums have a set of tracks that share some motifs, and placing them in the right order is important.
And then there are more extreme examples where one song is supposed to lead into the next one with no hard border between the two

I remember seeing some movie (don’t remember the name) with a very familiar face playing a character dying from an overdose pretty earlt on. After checking the credits, I noticed that Jim went as James Carrey back then.
