just remember, at some point, two dudes had a barroom bet. one of them insisted that ‘anyone can make a movie’. in the course of proving his point, he spent $19,000 and made a film that some consider to be one of the worst movies ever made.
he was right though.
at some point i hope people do start to realize that open source means they get worked on by people, when they feel like it.
that cuts both ways. for some things it’s great, for some things it’s not. the end result can be great, but sometimes it takes a REALLY long time to get there.
i wouldn’t sweat it, they really didn’t build lemmy either. :D
they’re commonly known as busy bowls.
we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.
when i was 20, i took care of my grandmother. she got evicted from a so-called ‘Christian’ assisted living facility, that evicted her on Christmas.
people… what a bunch of bastards.
as much as i disagree with him on certain things, Mike Rowe had a good point with a vid he did a long time ago. sometimes your passion isn’t what will pay what you need. it can still be your passion, but you might need to look elsewhere for what you want to do for a living. what he was getting at was to not overlook new things, that you might actually like as a job, even if it wasn’t your passion.
for example, few people choose HVAC repair as a passion, but it pays well, and might be stimulating for someone looking for a technical type job.
personally my passion is working with computers, but it can be hard to make a living at it, at least at a consumer level. but the thing is i really like helping the average joe find GOOD ways to spend their money. i’d have loved to have graduated college and worked on enterprise grade stuff, but i have a learning disability and can’t pass Algebra. this means i can’t get my degree.
that’s because it wasn’t. it still isn’t. the best hardware in the world won’t do anything for you if there’s no software to use it. with the iVRy dev working on this, and with Sony’s announcement, they probably realized it was a inevitability for someone to crack the software problem.
no one ever said it couldn’t be done.
really that depends on a number of factors. like how big the jet is, etc.
some of those planes are pretty small.
my friend and i worked with a guy for many years, that was also a pilot. he was a pretty frugal dude, but was fairly smart with his money. flying his small plane was a bit of a hobby for him. he owned a store location in the city we were in, but also had another store location about a hour/hour-and-half drive. sometimes he would take his plane, as it was actually cheaper and faster to go to the airport, get his plane prepped, fly out, do whatever he had to do, and fly back.
undoubtedly he was using this as an excuse to fly his plane a bit. but i definitely know he wouldn’t have been doing it if it was costing him any significant amount of money. he wasn’t loaded, and was always about saving some money.
different cars in different locations.
for example if she flys into a airport on the Eastern side of the country, you’d just contract out a car there. many airports even have multiple car rental companies on site to handle such things. for more upscale stuff, there are usually smaller flight companies around the airport, and they handle all the details.
you just fly the people in, they get the car at that location, and then drive to wherever they’re going.
in the case of musicians, if they’re on tour they usually have busses they charter, along with large semi trucks to drive the gear and stage stuff.

GENUINE AUTHENTIC VEIL OF VERONICA!
it is true that the founding fathers could not have foreseen the invention of more modern firearms, let alone the idea of semi and fully automatic firearms. but they did clearly envision that a armed populace was a good thing. they also fairly clearly envisioned it as a equally armed type of thing. what was modern then would be considered antique and primitive just a short century later. but the spirit of the amendment still comes through fairly clearly.
in the case of modern society, fully automatic weapons are heavily regulated and are not, in general, in the hands of the populace. true some can be modified, but to be caught with such a weapon, is going to bar you from legally having any sort of firearm, as it’s a felony.
Border Police opened fire indiscriminately at a vehicle that tried to burst through a checkpoint.
i like how they try to make it sound like the Israelis fired for no reason whatsoever, yet the vehicle tried to run through a checkpoint. that gets you shot at a large number of borders.
it’s sad that the little girl died. i think we can all agree on that.
that depends on where you work. at some places 3 late clock ins, can be a fireable offense. in the world of contracting its usually not a big deal.
learn HOW to drink.
drinking isn’t just about finding out how much it takes before you black out. AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE’S SAKE, DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE. if you’re gonna drink, arrange transportation, or stay where you are.
also, read the Hagakure. there’s some good stuff in there.
Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.
Woman on Plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn’t believe.
Woman on Plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.
nothing really matters, that’s what gives our presence meaning. there is no grand score keeping, which makes things like kindness all the more meaningful.
when nothing matters, how we live and express ourselves becomes even more meaningful.
the entire existence of all living things is the struggle. some thrive, some don’t.
but we do it all for the good days. if it was all good days, we wouldn’t appreciate them like we do. the darkness gives meaning to the light, and the bad days give meaning to the good ones.
i’m sorry about your cat. it can be rough to lose a loved one. but that doesn’t mean there won’t be more good days.
the word there is ‘morale’.
moral is like telling a story to teach right or wrong.
it’s been awhile since i dove into Linux, but last time i dabbled i was liking Kubuntu.
