Dipping into dad’s yumyum blood diamond money certainly helps to compensate other deficits.

Looks more like what remains of the valley of Helm’s Deep and the Hornburg to me.

And although it isn’t LGBTQ+, it definitely looks mentally ill. Hopefully it will shed and slither back to whatever hole it came from.

He’s welcome to try, that’s not going to fly where I’m from.

Nah, it’s just hit or miss wether the freeze strikes or not. Can’t get closer to the thrill of real Russian roulette than this.

In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of ‘a foreign object being lodged in his rectum’. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.

An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as ‘the patient was extremely uptight’.

Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

And to add to that: “it’s (a) sausage to me”, het zal me (een) worst wezen, is also perfectly fine in Dutch. “It can rust my ass” is a bit stronger worded.

I let my password manager create 32 char passwords, that should be enough for a while. But of course then you have websites that throw you a ‘your password is too long’ message and have you find out by trial and error that they only accept 12 characters.

Or the off-by-one errors where they insist that 24 chars are the max, but in reality they accept 23. Probably never tested the limit.

Or websites that truncate your password after X characters when registering, but not when logging in, so you end up with an incorrect password and good luck finding out which limit the registration page actually uses.

but mysqli_real_escape_string() or any number of other similar solutions are indeed a thing that exists. A prepared statement would work, too.

You make it sound as if a prepared statement is a last resort. I would turn that around: as a rule always use prepared statements when dealing with user input. It’s very easy to forget a single call to mysqli_real_escape_string().

Ubuntu, the Nickelback of distros.

UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION you say? Perhaps SovCit should try to convince the judge he wasn’t wearing a uniform at the time, nor does his vessel constitutes a uniform.

So cute! 🥰

Ah, so he’s going to stop posting there? Right?

That would be my guess. Personally I just plug my phone in and charge to 100%, albeit with a slow charger. I also abuse the battery by using my phone for navigation, so it’ll often be hooked up to a charger in the car. My Samsung A52 lost a whopping 3% battery capacity in 3.5 years.

Charging to 80% would often not be enough to last the day, especially if I had to charge it before hitting 20%, so I’m perfectly fine with losing a percent capacity per year. By the time the battery starts to become noticeably bad my phone will be out of software support anyway.

There are natural solutions for …

Yes, nothing more natural than hosing out your inner self with chlorine dioxide. What could possibly go wrong…

Probably iron deficiency, major blood loss after being stabbed in the kidneys by a spear will do that to you.

I think the odds are higher that their trebuchet backfires and demolishes the Kremlin instead.

Titanic.

The hype here was insane, when I finally saw it the experience was… underwhelming. Such a boring slog of a movie, mediocre CGI when disaster finally struck and that stupid end… Get on the piece of wood that is obviously big enough to hold you both, you dolt.

Only upside is that I watched it on TV, so apart from some hours of my life I’ll never get back it didn’t cost me anything.

Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour Mercurial?

This made my day even better, thanks and happy holidays! 🎄
