Having races where the dogs pull you up and down the hallway on pizza boxes.
The mayor’s job is to co-ordinate public information and make press releases during an emergency. He’s an authoritative source. Better for people to get info from him than from rumours and hearsay.
Linux. Seems like Windows comes with a lot of baggage these days.
Our current mayor complained bitterly because voters expected him to be at his office during a flooding emergency that affected swathes of the city, even though he had a tennis match scheduled. Pretty sure he’s not getting a second term.
Electrical conductivity. It’s gotta be high, but not too high.
I agree with the reporter - he needs to port Doom to that mofo.
The process of choosing government officials at random is called sortition. It’s certainly not the worst method.
It starts out feeling like you’re driving a two-tonne weapon in a world full of drunk people driving two-tonne weapons. You’re nervous and hypervigilant.
After a while your driving instincts develop and becomes less of a problem. And on days when the sun is shining and your favourite song is playing, it begins to seem like driving isn’t so bad after all.
You’re not wrong, but your response doesn’t contribute much to answering the question.
And someone to write to. That might actually be the most important component.
Once I went on leave and the fella who filled in for me got a few complaints that he was slow. He said it was because I hadn’t labelled my store room properly. I added a few dymo labels around the place. The next time I went on leave he got a few more complaints and gave the same explanation, so I added a few more. After the third time I left the room looking like this picture and he shut up.
Did you enjoy the joke?
Aw, I wanted Jack Black.
Guess I’ll have to go with my second choice, Danny DeVito.
I bought a power supply for a second hand monitor and found that the 90-degree angle on the plug meant it couldn’t actually go into the socket. I took it back to the shop and the owner offered to solder a straight plug onto the adaptor for me - but couldn’t find one to use, so he gave me my money back.
Probably the closest I’ve come is recognising the same user name from one thread to the next. So I guess… not very close at all.
None. I’ve tried everything from Mozart to Metallica, and any kind of music playing while I’m trying to concentrate is more of a distraction than a help.
It wouldn’t be weird, but talk to your neighbour first.
I think FTL or even a substantial percentage of it is pure fantasy.
I used to think FTL was nonsense, but it turns out the universe has a built-in mechanism for time travel at the Planck scale. Particles smaller than the atom swing both ways when it comes to causality and retrocausality.
Now I think that either FTL is completely impossible at the macro scale or it’ll be so easy we’ll be embarrassed we didn’t have it sooner.
Praise You by Fatboy Slim. I hate that song so much I have to turn it off whenever I happen to come across it. It’s the drawn-out repetitive tones.
