There's a group on Facebook called Treksons where people post Star Trek/Simpsons mashups like this. Futurama sometimes sneaks in, too. It's really hilarious, and I highly recommend it if you're on Facebook and like both shows.

Ever had a tooth pulled? The description does sound pretty quick and clean.

I had the same for my last guard (to keep me from grinding teeth at night). The previous guard relied on a mold, which I swear loosened a filling that fell out a week or two later.

The tech is pretty amazing. They still need a drill though.

You were down voted, but I read your statement as sarcasm. Now I'm wondering which is correct.

Another thing I noticed is that the character is named Dilberg. That's awfully close to Dilbert, and combined with the office setting it feels like it has to be a reference.

The tie is pure Dilbert.

because the Dilbert guy is a twat

Was a twat. He died back in January!

I did the update and ran the recommended command. Seems to be working. I don't have a monitor and keyboard hooked up to know if it's really working.

Wait, will it boot or not on an RPi5? The first part makes it sound like it won't, but then the last bullet of suggested fixes implies it will boot.

I laughed through that entire scene, missing most of the dialog, then I had to explain why it was so funny to my wife.

I had a cat that demonstrated this to me a few times. When he saw a cat outside, it he couldn't smell the other cat, he'd start howling. One time he did it at the sliding glass door in the house, another time we were in an RV, and he spotted a cat walking across the campground and started screaming... At 2 am. I woke up thinking someone had broken in and was trying to kill him.

A few other times, the door was open (screen closed) or a window was open (again with a screen), and he remained silent and just watched the other cat.

I use Debian for everything, and the only thing I've updated to the current (non Debian distribution) version is Docker, which I use for a game. But this isn't a problem, because it's Debian, so the Docker people make packages for several recent Debian releases.

I don't miss the bleeding edge. That issue a while back where someone infiltrated a basic library didn't affect me. The software I use might have bugs (what software doesn't?), but by the time I get it, it has been well tested for security issues.

I'm pretty happy with my switch to Debian. I'll admit I'm curious about Bazzite for my gaming computer, but even then, it's like, "Why? Debian is doing just fine."

But I'm not laughing at anyone. This is a scary new variety of attacks we're seeing, and there's no real reason one couldn't end up in my computer. Reminds me of the old one where someone slipped a backdoor into a compiler.

Art of the deal, indeed.

When do I get a refund for all the extra money I paid for fuel over the past few months? My job involves driving - I've put about 5,000 miles on my car since the beginning of April - so I'm definitely noticing the difference.

My wife has an older Olympus mirrorless. I think it's an OM-D, or something like that. The wifi broke and won't work, which is apparently a common issue with that model. Also it got dropped at one point, so the screen is cracked. Still takes pictures just fine though.

I remember not really liking it the few times I tried it, but that may have just been me not being used to the mirrorless design. I briefly tested it the other day, and it seemed fine.

I'll stick with Nikon, though!

I saw a comment on reddit a few years ago that said something like, "Trump's idea of being rich is what an 8 year old would think being rich means."

Who else would be impressed by a gold toilet?

Not that laws matter, but it's a pretty clear violation of the Hatch Act.

I just saw this video clip while watching last night's Kimmel. Trump was furious - look at his expression in that picture...because an escalator stopped. The smallest of setbacks drives him to a crazy level of fury.

Like Kimmel said, "If only that had happened 10 years ago."

Ever hear the expression, "Hitler made the trains run on timeโ€œ?

Thing is, he didn't. But everyone was afraid to report that they weren't running on time, so officially they always met their schedules.

That's where this is heading.
