Am manager, hate should.
Should presumes an ideal set of conditions with perfect context.
Could is a much better term as it implicitly accepts real world conditions and a lack of total context by couching the affirmation as contingent upon only the discussion (and prior references) at hand.
It’s also due to social inertia.
Power companies charge by the kWh because their generators are measured in total output wattage and consumers consume at different wattages at different times.
Sure, it would be easier to measure in total joules consumed per period time but it would also be easier to measure with world standard metric units. The pain of changing is harder than staying the same, so muh freedum units.

I’m not sure how Immovable Rods work exactly, but presumably with three of them you could place two, stand on them, place the third at some reasonable height, move the first two to a new location and repeat as needed, then once at the appropriate height, “lock” the top rung and use the ladder proper to climb back down, setting the other immovable rungs as needed.
Like a climber tree stand for murder hobos.
Battlestar Galactica will always be my comfort apocalypse.
That sounds like exactly the app I’ve been looking for.
Beech-Nut baby food. They have a history of bad faith actions including multiple citations, years apart and after litigation no less, for “selling artificially flavored sugar water as apple juice.”
I’ve been using DockSTARTer for years and it does what I need, when I need it.
If the goal is to learn, then go for learning Docker directly.
If the goal is to do it well and quickly, don’t reinvent the wheel.
Are you sure that’s not an artifact of the powerline data? I use RDP over a wireless bridge to do something similar and some days it’s 10/10 perfect, others it’s dogshit/10.
I like Star Trek. I like video games. I like Star Trek video games?
I didn’t realize Resurgence was a thing until now, so that’s awesome!
RimWorld got new DLC so I’ve put about 20 hours in since last Tuesday. Sorry kids, daddy needs vidya time.
I’ve clocked over 2,000 hours (per Stream) and only just realized I’ve never actually played to “win” via the vanilla victory conditions. Thanks mods!
Can the ISP offer dedicated IPv4 addresses? We had a similar issue with the new rural fiber provider. I spent hours tinkering and researching only to finally call support.
15 minutes and $2/mo later it’s all taken care of. I have a direct IP and no maintenance nightmare that I have to sacrifice a goat to the printer gods and pray for mercy to make work*
*when it wants to
I used to do that with Dick pics. Dick van Dyke, Dick Nixon, Andy Dick, Philip K. Dick …
“I’m here to apply for the position of your Next Bad Decision. My parents always said I was a mistake, so I think that makes me well qualified.”
That’s literally how I got my wife.
Three monitors here. I’m an engineer so left monitor is usually reference material (drawings, spec sheets, formulae, etc), center is usually my primary workspace (email, python, CAD, etc) and right is music, communications, and calendar for the next goddamned meeting.
Left and center are 24" 1080p, right is 15" laptop. I’m thinking of upgrading the next time the office gets tech money.
We did some sodium salts for personal care, but the chicken fat in this instance is oleic acid, or sometimes soybean or canola oils, and the laxatives are sorbitol or PEGs. Mix and cook them and out comes a surfactant like SMO. We sent it to the midwest to help with fracking.
I used to be an industrial chemist. We did esterification reactions to turn chicken fat and laxatives into oil field soaps by the truckload. So I guess mid-level organic chemistry?
I had an '86 with a straight six that was phenomenal.12 mpg and would go anywhere. It’s the only car I hate I sold.
