Hugin,

I went to get blood lab work done today. When I went to pay the kiosk asked for a tip.

Hugin,

Algae doesn’t capture it for long. Trees do it for longer but not long enough to be more then a speed bump. Unless we start dumping algae and trees into giant pits and sealing them up three is no long term carbon capture.

Report: Warner Bros. Execs Thought Suicide Squad Would Make A Ton Of Money Despite Development Woes (kotaku.com)

Anyone who played Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could probably guess that something went terribly wrong during development. Bloomberg now reports that the multiplayer bomb from a studio beloved for its single-player Batman: Arkham games was plagued by several issues leading up to its repeatedly delayed launch....

Hugin,

When I was getting my engineering degree in the senior year we had some question and answer sessions with people from industry. The guy in class who thought he was way smarter than he was asked about going directly into an MBA program after graduation.

The industry guy said it was a terrible idea. Your engineering knowledge would be 2 years out of date and who knows if you would be a good manager. He said to get a job and get some experience. If you show promise as a leader a good company will offer to put you through a MBA program and you well have the real world experience to make the best of it.

So I think there is a real use for an MBA degree but only after some real world experience in your field and showing basic team leadership. People who go straight for an MBA tend to be the those who just want to boss people around and can’t handle real work.

If it’s as bad as their VPN app for Linux hard pass.

Hugin,

I do use wireguard. Mostly because the proton app for linux is so bad.

Look into how they have you setup port forwarding on linux using the official app. They want you to open a terminal and keep a looped script running as long as you are using it.

Not only that but when I was testing it the script would start erroring out after about 5 min requiring a restart.

Hugin,

Right you can use a custom script as a service to make it do what it’s supposed to do. but for an app that’s for an advertised feature of a paid service it’s a complete shit show.

Hugin,

Technically he is not a felon until he is sentenced. So he will be a felon on July 11th.

That said I agree not letting people run from office because of convictions just incentives the state to go after political enemies.

Just discovered Disco Elysium,... I may not recover from it

I haven’t even cooled down yet, literally just finished it… I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a piece of art so carefully intentional, so cleverly crazy, or so painfully human. I’ve only done one playthrough, but I could guess the multitude of paths and forks, the complexity of it all, simply staggering....

Hugin,

My most satisfyingly achievement in game was getting Kim to share the sandwich with me.

Hugin,

It’s a side effect of streaming. Heavenly seralzed used to have two big drawbacks. If people didn’t catch the first few episodes that didn’t have a way to get into the story. The story also had to hold peoples interest for a week before the next episode dropped. So only the best seltzer shows lasted.

Now you start the show when you want at the beginning. So instead of making an episode that’s entertaining and when next week come around you think it was good last week I’ll watch that again you get a show that encourages setting stuff up and the implying it’s about be resolved right before the episode end.

It’s great for getting you to binge and then getting renewed on a stemmer. Stemming is the best way to watch shows produced for the old weekly broadcast system but not the best environment for developing new shows.

Hugin,

I usually do. It’s pretty rough to read it. II had intended to finish this post later but apparently posted it instead of saving the draft.

Hugin,

Combining elements of both to make something not as good as either.

Hugin,

Here in Florida there is a disease called citrus greening. The fruit grows small and falls off before it’s ripe. It’s basically destroyed the citrus industry. It’s spread by flying insects so impossible to control and there is no cure.

So climate change doesn’t help but that’s not the main culprit.

Hugin,

We did chase away a lot of the migrant workers and climate change is very real. However it’s the citrus greening that is to blame. We don’t even need the citrus pickers because there is nothing to pick.

Here is a picture of an orange on one of my trees. Itt should be much bigger starting to turn yellow and unblemished. It will get a little bigger stay green and then fall off.

Hugin,

That works to mitigate flying insects but you are always going to have some. With citrus greening all you need is one to go from infected tree to uninfected tree and the tree is now fatally infected.

Worse the tree will live for years and the insects spread the bacteria for miles from one infected tree. Florida has spent almost two decades fighting the disease. And lost badly.

Hell even is we had done ruthless culling of any citrus within a large range of and infected tree like we did with citrus canker in the 90s it probably wouldn’t have worked.

We failed to stop canker from spreading and canker only hurt production and made the fruit ugly and suitable only for juice. It was also much easier to manage as it was spread by leaf to leaf contact and via things like stepping on the leaves in one grove and not cleaning your boots before entering another grove.

In 2004 Florida produced 240 million boxes of citrus. Greening was discovered in Miami in 2005. In 2023 Florida produced 16 million boxes.

I hate most of the Democratic party. I fear the Republican party. So yeah I’ll be holding my nose and voting D.

Captain Janeway - Hair Master (lemmy.world)

My favorite part was how her hair was in a beautiful and much more complicated knot in the premier episode, then it was a mangled mess after Voyager was thrown to the Delta Quadrant, but they make a show of her fixing it into the simpler knot with her bare hands while walking the corridors from one disaster to another....

Hugin,

Behind the scenes her hair was a major problem. The original Janeway actress left after 3 days of shooting and Mulgrew was brought in to replace her.

Mulgrew’s hair was so fine the cameras had trouble picking it up. They actually shut down shooting of the pilot to figure out how to do her hair.

Eventually they just had her in a wig or a half fall depending on the scene. Though I think that was like season 2 for the wigs.

Hugin,

"Remember, Honey, don’t forget what I told you. Put in my coffin a deck of cards, a mashie niblick, and a pretty blonde.”

For those like me who were wondering. A mashie niblick is an old style golf club.

Mashie Niblick: Had the role of the 7-iron among antique golf clubs.

Hugin,

Her campaign also diverted money for voter turnout operations from the “guarantied to win” rust belt states to New York to make her popular vote turnout bigger. Talk about putting the cart before the house.

Hugin,

The fact that they are wires is the worst part.

Hugin,

Short answer is GPL3 doesn’t just require source disclosure for the software delivered but also software or firmware that it requires to function.

So say a network video player under GPL2 would require release of the player source code to whoever you give a copy of the player software to you wouldn’t have to give the source code to the video server that it needs to work with because you didn’t give them a copy of the server.

GLP3 would require you to also give the server code. So if the car thing was under GLP3 they would have to give the server code and people could run their own server for it.

That’s a simple explanation. In reality it’s more complicated but that’s the gist.

Hugin,

It sucks but yeah. I’ll be holding my nose this election even though Biden has no chance in my state.

Hugin,

Kira’s actress got pregnant by Bashir’s actor in real life. To explain it on the show they has Keiko get pregnant but then get in an accident and they had to move the baby into Kira to save it.

This is Miles doing pregnancy care to Kira who is carrying his baby.

It’s also funny later when Kira is giving birth in the show she screams “You did this to me!” at Dr Bashir. And he in fact did put the baby in her both in the show and in real life.

Hugin,

Nice. I always enjoy mezcal and cynar together. The cynar tends to bring out the grassy notes of the mezcal.

Hugin,

Prisencolinensinainciusol an Italian song that is complete gibberish but made to sound like an English language song. That’s what AI is right now.
