Nothing wrong with wanting a web interface, but for an experienced Linux user, there is no issue going without one.

This creepy looking thing. Yes, it moves.

Plain, good old Debian. It’s not that big of a deal to do all the config in console via SSH. You do it once and you’re done, so is the web interface that important?

It’s taught us to learn fast. Also, it’s made so that you can’t lean answers by heart, you need to understand what your doing to have a chance to solve the exams. You can’t succeed by being fast and mindless, you need to be optimal (maybe skip some questions strategically). I think it’s a good learning method for engineering, teachs you to be thorough and methodical.

Good cocktails take make than 3 minutes to enjoy

I don’t see how I could possibly cheat during my engineering studies. Every exams was different from previous years, you had to detail the calculation steps, you had to be so fluent with using the formulas and fast at calculating in order to even have a chance to answer all questions. Most exams were calibrated so that only the top students have just enough time to finish.

Well, thank can’t press the pistons and have no lips, so it might very little be a unique sound.

The “it’s my 3rd Mass at the bierfest and we are dancing standing up on the bench” beer.

FYI, a Mass is the standard 1L beer in Germany, in the bierfest they only come in that size.

When I was explaining my German friend that there is no alcohol allowed (technically) on the campus in France, he replied: “What?! I was drinking beer all the time during my studies, why do you even study if you can drink in the morning?!”

Don’t you worry, during my masters in France I was borderline alcoholic. We find ways.

I learned something today. USA use the AKI octane index while, for example in France they use RON octane index. 95 in EU would be 90 in USA, according to this Wikipedia article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indice_d'octane

Kaamelott is a good French short format comedie series. Most of the humor is based on puns, word plays and quiproquo, it would be absolutely impossible to translate and it wouldn’t be funny to anyone who isn’t absolutely fluent in French. No need to thank me for this useless recommendation.

You should see France right now.

1. 30ish people invade a movie screening stabbing 2 person and screaming “Paris is Nazi, so is Lyon”. Press and politics: “this is just an isolated incident”
2. A group of Nazi and anti-fascist clash suronding the conference of a left politician (Rima Hassan), one of the Nazi dies during the fistfight. Press and politicians: “this young man was unjustly murdered by the organized extrem-left !”

GrapheneOS on Pixel 7.

Love GrapheneOS, not so impressed with the HW quality of the Pixel for the price I paid. I feel my previous Huawei P20 was more durable, and it was a good 200€ cheaper at time of purchase.

I also died 2 times on the first boss during my first playthrough, annoying. I absolutely LOVE this game!

Interesting flex. Apollo Guidance Computer was working with Metric SI units internally.

Calculations were carried out using the metric system, but display readouts were in units of feet, feet per second, and nautical miles – units that the Apollo astronauts were accustomed to.

⅓m is 1.093504 feet or 13.12205 inch. I don’t see how it’s more convenient.

It can be done just like for feet and inches, look:

• a half meter: ½m
• a third of a meter: ⅓m
• a fourth of a meter: ¼m
• a sixth of a meter: ⅙m
