YEEEES!

UT2K4 is my absolute favourite arcade shooter!

I have the original six CD release, the Steam release and the GOG release.

It is such an awesome game!

Ofcourse I am, that is my point, norms are subjective regarding your example it is a technicallity but you could absolutely argue that a guy slipping and falling is deviating from the norms of standing.

That is absolutely deviating from the norms, to the point of insanity

Cool quote, but incorrect.

What is considered a deviation from the norm is HIGHLY subjective, a society where the norm is to embrace new ideas would be the opposite of this quote.

Even a society with norms that are more conservative, progress is being made, though quite slow.

There are also times when norms have been challenged, and ended with disaster, just look at OceanGate’s Titan, Stockton Rush deviated from the norms of deep water submersibles, and no progress was made, meanwhile other subs built on existing norms have made a lot of progress

This makes me wonder, when was the last day that the US actually experienced 0 school shootings?

I feel your pain, and want to share two tips I have used that has worked well for internal documentation.

You may already do this, but just in case I thought I’d share.

1. Use informal keywords at the bottom of the article. Especially rude ones. One monday when I came into the office I was met with a pissed off colleague, he wasn’t angry with me, just the bad situation during the weekend, the server room (a purpose built server room) had had the AC fail during the weekend. So he had biked in and tried to fix it, there was a window that could be opened and we even had bought extra industrial fans, so we should be good right? Nope, they were stored in a locked room with a code lock next to the server room, we even had the code documented in the shared password manager, it was called something like “janitor’s code” and he could not find it. I don’t remember how he solved the situation, but seeing his frustration and irritation made me realize that we needed better keywords for the code. So I added stuff like “emergency code” and “general access code”, but then I also added keywords like “fucking code”, “idiot code”, “damn door”, “fucking door”, “dickhead code” “just fucking get me in”, “i give up” “fucking hell balls”, stuff like that, it worked great, it was funny and made sure that everyone remembered how to get the code. Same goes with other documentation, pour your frustration into the keywords, lean into the office slang for best effect, I am Swedish and have used some rather creative compound words “nätverkshelvete”, “skrivardjävel”, “rövhålsjira” and “förbannade skithusswitch” are just some from the top of my head at this time.
2. The second tip I can give you is to write every guide in two versions, one summary, assuming the reader knows their way around, and only really focusing on special actions like, “when creating a user with role X, make sure to set extensionAtribute24 to Y”, and the other part is a full step by step part with highlighted screenshots for every step. This is something I tried and it did cut down on annoying people asking the same thing over and over.

Looks like Micron decided that consumers weren’t crucial to their business.

I remember back in 2014 or so, I found a YT channel about companies an tech with very high production values on their videos, they had several videos on Elon and his companies.

And in just about every time they spoke about Elon, they said it like this

Entrepreneur Elon Musk

It kinda became a weird mantra they repeated as if being an Entrepreneur made him some kind of expert.

I noticed that at the time, and it has pissed me off since.

Oh absolutely, not only that we have separate licenses for motor bikes, the standard car (max weight is 3500kg, including cargo, passengers and possible trailer), and several more:

Here is a list of categories of licenses in use in Sweden:

https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/en/road/driving-licences/im-going-to-take-my-driving-licence/driving-licence-categories/

Here are some more details about driving licenses in Sweden, the restrictions section is interesting.

https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/en/road/driving-licences/im-going-to-take-my-driving-licence/

My standard B license comes with the following restrictions:

1. I must wear my glasses
2. I may only drive a car with an automatic gearbox

Other than those, it is a standard license.

Please feel free to ask if you have further questions about driving and driving licenses in Sweden, I passed my test almost 3 years ago at 35 so it is still fresh in my mind and probably still valid knowledge.

Yeah, I see my 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV hatchback as an appliance, it takes me where I want to go, I am only licensed to drive an automatic, but do so well.

Now, after two and a half years of driving, I am thinking about learning the paddle shifter, but eh, it just seems like another distraction.

Here in Sweden, since I took my test in an automatic car, I am not allowed to drive a manual car unless I pass a new test in a manual car.

This is perfectly resonable, I would be a terrible driver in a manual car, but driving an automatic, I am perfectly fine.

I mean, I have tried to learn the manual gearbox, and I would have gotten it given more time, but it took me about a year to learn to drive an automatic, this was while working full time at the same time. So I decided that with the rise of EVs and automatic gearboxes, I didn’t want to spend another half a year learning something that is going away.

I agree with you to a point, if you got the same kind of license taking the test in an automatic car as in a manual car, then I agree that a critical component is missing, but here in Sweden you are limited to only being allowed to drive automatic cars if you took the test in an automatic car.

If I need to, I am absolutely not against learning a manual gearbox and taking a new test later.

Me relying on an automatic gearbox does not make me a worse driver than the average driver.

I saw a comment in a car thread in a general interest community that claimed that if you couldn’t drive with a manual gearbox, you shouldn’t be issued a license.

I am a Swede and this was on a Swedish forum.

Most people here knows how to drive manually, I don’t, and I drive far better than plenty of manual drivers.

I have notifications for when there is an Aurora Borealis outside, but that seldom happens…

You may want to add instructions on how to find the setting.

EDIT:

You need to go to:

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> (scroll down) -> Apple Advertising

It is far worse to not use sand, then the wheels will lock up and slide for longer, developing flat spots which will destroy the rails they run on

I have never really pirated games myself, I was always far too worried about malware to do it.

Though, when dad was traveling in Asia back in the early 2000s he used to come back home with a shitload of games/software which most had a folder called crack in the root of the CD…

Yeah, I hadn’t heard any buskers on the Stockholm metro for years until a few weeks ago when a guy I had seen earlier busking, came onboard again with his weird wooden box with metal strings that is played with two hooked sticks and started playing.

Check both, if the game is available on both, then I will get it on Gog.

If not, Steam it is!

I have a few games I enjoy so much that I have bought them several times, including on both Steam and Gog.

An example, back in 2004/2005 I bought Unreal Tournament 2004 on CDs, then when I found it on Steam a few years later, I bought it there as well as I wanted a modern installer, finally I found it on Gog without DRM yet another few years later and bought it there as well.

I love that game and wanted the best installer for it, especially without DRM.

Fun fact, Unreal Tournament 2004 has a native Linux version on the retail disks, you will find a bash install script in the root on one of the CDs

Not proper public transport, but my dad is an active member of a heritage railroad.

This railroad rund both steam and diesel trains.

When it is dry outside they will run a fire watch train after the steam train, basically a tank car with water and a petrol pump, pulled by a diesel locomotive.

But this day they didn’t run the fire watch train, and I was tagging along with dad as he drove the classic DMU trains.

We come around a corner and see smoke comming from a farmer’s field, it had caught on fire/smolder from the steam train…

We stop, obviously, bring our large water can and start working the fire, after a few min the fire department came and we could hand it over to them
