I imagine a conservative drummer to be someone who shows up with a snare only.

Num pad is much faster for clean numbers than num row because you can use the thumb on zero, allowing you to use all 5 fingers without ever moving the hand.

However the secret to achieve true mad man number typing speeds is to use both hands. Num row is for the left hand. Num pad is for the right hand.

This can be optimized by positioning your left hand on 1 to prepare yourself for Benford’s Law which tells us that a majority of numbers start with 1.

Actual numbers also includes many zeros (but rarely starts with one). The fat zero key on num pad has room for two fingers, just saying.

Is that close to Nassau without the N?

Yeah, that’s what I mean. 90% of people would be wrong.

This is what it looks like on the back:

Three wise men decided to stop by for no reason.

If someone posted how it actually works, it would probably get upvoted, because the real explanation is more exotic than what most people think.

The fan is connected to a small electric engine, powered by an electronic device in between the top and bottom parts. This device runs on fediverse upvotes.

Put a cloth iron on top and leave it running.

And then use the solar panels to power a water boiler.

I’ll have you know that I put my entire OS installation on a broken USB stick that I found on a parking lot.

The plastic case keeps falling off, but it works fine.

Some union agreements have rules against that, so that they’re obliged to inform you in advance if the meeting has potential consequences for your employment.

Or, it can be more subtle, that they are obliged to inform you of your right to bring an observer to the meeting.

It won’t save you from getting sacked, but it might give you a better chance of getting compensated when the company inevitably forgets to do it right…

Just like many other good distros, Friends ended when the larger one ate the smaller ones.

Depends on where in the world.

In my case, if it should happen to me, I would call the union and stop working immediately. The union would then contact the company to inform them of their obligation to pay me and of the fee which doubles every day until they pay. If they fail to pay me and the fees within the set deadline, which is usually 5 days, the working court would quickly send a declaration of bankruptcy. The company don’t get a say in that court. Only the unions of employees and the unions of employers have access. A simple matter like this is resolved quickly because unfortunately there are plenty of precedent cases.

At that point I wouldn’t really give a shit if the company pays or goes bankrupt, because my salary would be paid to me either way. If the company can’t pay, we have a fund to cover salaries to employees of bankrupted companies.

It’s somewhat more complicated for people outside of unions. They have to pay a lawyer to battle it through civil court. They’ll usually win but it can take months and cost a lot.

Yes, all good here.

“not all cultures in the southern hemisphere named it because it is always either close to the horizon or invisible. For instance, the Brazilian Tucano people called it the Large Anus of the Snake and in Samoa it forms part of the Heirloom Warclub.”

The thing is that native American didn’t get the name from Greek, yet, it is still reference to a bear.

Some constellations, including the Great Bear, were named long before our languages even existed.

Etymology wise we might say it comes from ancient Greek, but it’s also called Great Bear in languages that have no origin in Greek.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I believe the Great Bear is actually named after a great bear.

Not all cultures though. In Brazil, the Big Dipper is also known as “large anus of the snake”.

Of course your barber will object to the practice of shaving yourself.

Sunvox is a masterpiece. Perfect for small size audio. It’s strange that it isn’t more widely used in game development or even webpages. Not just because of small sizes, but because it’s also possible to interact with the music, while it’s being generated. I have no idea of how to classify this as a piece of software but it’s mind boggling powerfull and it still runs perfectly on any potato.

It would be nice to have better recording options than using the sampler, but I guess that defies the purpose of it.

My daughter’s school did something similar. It was a project about future city development, where groups of kids could create their own visions of what the harbour in the city should be like.

Some went sciency and made robotic models and programmed led-strips and such, but most just painted the sides of cardboard boxes as a restaurant and printed a menu card, focusing on the business aspects.

The school then invited parents and the city council to come see the presentations and to vote on the best project.

They did all the work in school hours, so it’s not like the parents could assist if they wanted to. Of course some kids could potentially ask their parents for funding for expensive robots but I don’t think anyone did or what the point would be. It wasn’t a graded project and the winners got a bag of candy, so it’s hardly worth cheating for.
