Professional magician here - when I do my show for kids I always get them to shout out “Boom!” and explain that it’s like a special effect in the movies.
Whenever I say I’m going to teach my favourite magic word, some kid always chimes in with “Abracadabra”. I think it’s from Vaudeville - some magician made it up and everyone copied them ever since.
I run pi-hole in docker in the background of our libreelec (Kodi) home entertainment system and it works great. It’s a MUST if you have kids, my son has more freedom to use the internet since I know he is mostly covered by extensive block lists. Using raspberry pi 400, we watch Netflix, play Nintendo games, watch YouTube and have a family hard drive for shared photos and files.
I have a paranoid fear that some day I will be required to write an ampersand…
I have two accounts that went dark. The main mastodon website with the list of all instances really needs to filter by popularity and longevity so people can make an informed choice!
Or 3 branches…
I prefer to just delete the whole .git and start a new repository with the new version. We are pivoting the project, new name and new repo
I’m guessing not - Google probably wants the data for itself.
Does this apply to Android studio?
Came here to say the same thing. The entire company would be cancelled.
This actually works for me. I will add another level though, sometimes instead of going back to the original project I start it over again because of something I learned in the second project giving me a better approach to the first. Mostly do this with programming
A friend who had it reversed said that the reverse op was extremely painful (Vs the vasectomy which apparently was painless)
I heard all the books are free now? Considering you’re on here you probably knew that already though…
I do circus entertainment like unicycle, stilts and rope walking but my worst injury actually happened when I turned too fast on stage to talk to a volunteer. Twisted my ankle and couldn’t walk right for two weeks.
I also do electronics as a hobby and found out early on that teeth are not wire strippers. Still paying for that mistake.
We have a saying in my country: there’s no point in complaining because nobody listens. I mean we are all paying so what’s the point of moaning about it
I can’t say what it’s like now but a friend did the TEFL thing, spent a year in Taiwan and now he’s a business consultant for overseas companies. He did actually learn the language though… I guess I’m just saying that language is a worthwhile skill and travelling opens up opportunities.
This meme made me feel better about myself. Been copy pasting from Stack overflow for more than a decade, vibe coding was a real step up for me.
Not quite there yet, still waiting on the holographic AI hardware design. Coming soon I hear.
This is actually a big comedy moment in South Africa - look up “Die Groot Tsek” on social media!
As a professional juggler I say go for it! That’s where I practise and never had any bad experiences in public parks.
True story: I used to worry so much about what people thought. One day I did an experiment, dyed my hair lime green and went around to the shops, library etc. Nobody batted an eyelid and I realised it was just me.
Nowadays I do “weird” things in public every weekend, and people usually pay in advance!
I suspect that Trump offering asylum to Afrikaners has more to do with USA being pissed at SA for the Gaza case than him thinking there is a “South African Genocide”. He’s just trying to stir the pot but generally South Africans don’t take this seriously. Some people on here though…
That old huh? Amazing!
