I’ve heard some techs complain that a ‘machine’ can be physical or virtual, but a ‘box’ always refers to a physical machine. I don’t really agree with that distinction; if the difference matters, say “physical machine” or “virtual machine”. In 99% of cases, whether a machine is physical or virtual is a distinction without a difference anyway.

Just call it a ‘container object’ and you can be technically correct in almost every context.

See also: in SQL and Dataverse, a row is called a ‘record’, but in SharePoint and Lists, a row is called an ‘item’, and MAN do people get all pissy if you get them mixed up or refer to it as a ‘row’.

It’s even more aggravating when you understand that 1) they’re all different implementations of the ‘table’ data structure, so the term is still accurate; ‘records’ and ‘items’ are just subsets of ‘rows’, and 2) SharePoint and Lists are just SQL on the backend anyway.

Like, obviously you knew what I meant, but how is your ego gonna get stroked unless you preach about pedantic details that don’t matter?

If it’s really some BS, file for unemployment benefits

As a poster of OC in both communities, I can say it technically fits “better” there, but this is by far the larger and more active community and I don’t blame OP for wanting his work to be seen.

Who has front and back doors that are keyed differently? I have one key for all doors.

Also, most locksmiths have cool key designs you can buy. Do that instead. Maybe do some electrolysis or powder coating if you must DIY. Paint will flake off inside the lock, gum up the works, and ruin your whole day.

The Golden Age will begin once the Orange Era concludes.

They’re doing everything they can to avoid it, but it’s supposed to be tHe FuTuRe

I usually open a document and type notes to myself. If I followed documentation, I’ll link it and download an offline copy in case it 404s one day. I also export configurations to csv or json and link those.

Something else would probably be better but it works for me and for what I do.

There’s a phenomenon called “learned helplessness” where people simply don’t realize they’re capable of doing such things for themselves. They hit the limits of their knowledge and instinctively look to another human for answers, failing to realize they’re capable of taking the very same steps as the person they’re asking.

I’m not making excuses for them, just telling you so you know what to research to understand it better. It’s one of those things, once you know what it is, you start to notice it everywhere.

I think HML was recently updated to be usable now

See, that’s funny because she’s a dog who took a dump

Then leave out da bike doe

Headline should be, “European Commission demands their cut of the action.” 🫴

Ok, I installed buttons in my pet rat’s ribcage and shoved an IR sensor up its ass. Anyone know where to get drivers for this thing?

That’s why I have notifications off. Once you get to a certain age, people not agreeing with you is their problem.

The joke is the person making the comment. “Ha ha, look how ignorant they are.”

This show is obviously just to bait people into making better fighting robots for the military, free of charge.

Kissing girls doesn’t make you quick scope better

Drivers didn’t spend over 50 years secretly buying and dismantling public transit, forming zoning boards, and lobbying Congress to build car-centric infrastructure using tax dollars from everyone, including non-drivers; billionaires and corporations did those things. If you’re going to detest people, detest them. The people driving are just doing their best to get by using the only system they’ve ever known.
