They stopped making the big ones about a decade back. The ones sold by the truck should still be larger, but not by as much as they used to be.

They also went up in price a lot. Firecrackers used to cost ~$0.29 wholesale but they raised it to ~$0.55 when they shrunk them.

That’s every binary, though. False are everything that’s not true. Ones are everything that’s not zero.

God cloned Adam to make Eve, thus we all are the same gender. Wake up sheeple!

No, that’s just quantum gender mechanics.

Indiana waiting for Texas and Florida to ban it so it can do something more extreme but without any flak.

I am a fan of Vista

Alright, let’s get out the burning stakes.

Should be every single one that supports IPv6.

You sent over twenty-two thousand notifications lmao.

And then the bot added about as many tags to the PR.

Oh, the software is actually called SANE. I thought you were just making clear how bad Brother’s drivers were.

Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying “just hardcore the IP bro”

It’s more like setting a static IP. The UUID is set when you create the partition and won’t change unless you force it to change.

You can also use any of the GUI utilities which can add it to your fstab.

There’s a lot of things that are made way too difficult on Linux for seemingly no reason. This isn’t one of them.

I just accidentally deleted my crontab about an hour ago because r is right next to e.

Fortunately my computer backs itself up often so I could just grab the old crontab but it was annoying and would have been problematic if I didn’t.

I also had to recover my computer a few months back because someone whoopsied the default apt repositories for Ubuntu x64 arch and pushed the x86 software there instead.

It’s usually considered a poor idea to use it also as an AP.

The location usually isn’t great for your WiFi and there are better tools for the job.

OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It’s still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.

First you’d need a machine. I’ve got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.

The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it’s likely the port is Realtek which isn’t supported well.

So, you’ll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.

If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you’ll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.

Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don’t plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.

Once you’re happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you’ll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.

For NASA, similar desk layout, but it does look more modernized.

They also have crazy long config files. All but like two lines in the file will be the same for everyone.

Except the program also is ignoring half the config file and is instead using hardcoded values.

Oh and there are six different config files all in different directories. Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If Microsoft switches (seemlessly) to a Linux kernel, no one would really notice.

Besides quite literally every piece of software breaking, sure.

My favorite when reading sports news is “resign”.

It can mean that they quit or that they entered into a new contract.

They haven’t had an expansion franchise since 2002 and it’s unlikely it’ll happen any time in the near future. 32 teams is perfectly balanced - each conference has 16 teams and four divisions. Each division has four teams.

It would also be very expensive.

You’d need a stadium that met the NFL standards. The average stadium costs about $2B. Fortunately for her (and unfortunately for the rest of us), taxpayers on average pay about $1.2B of that. We’ll be very generous and assume they paid even more or she received a substantial loan that will be paid off otherwise, leaving her with about $250M out of pocket.

It should be noted that the opposite is more often true for expansion teams, though. Cities don’t want to pay for the stadium because there’s more risk with new teams. They could decide to leave very quickly, the owners might not have the capital to keep the team afloat, etc. The Texans were the last expansion team and nearly all of the cost for their stadium was privately funded.

Now, the NFL also charges a fee for expansion teams. This mostly has to be a guesstimate because we haven’t seen one in two decades. The Texans paid $700M at the time so we can assume it would be closer to $1.5B now.

After that, you have the practice facilities and offices. Cities don’t usually cover that. You might be able to get away with using local facilities for a couple of years, but that won’t be enough to actually create a competitive team. A safe low-end estimate for this would be $150M. The Cowboys paid $1.5B for their facilities, but other teams have paid as low as $125M.

Finally, the last big cost is payroll. This by itself would sink any chance she has.

The NFL requires all guaranteed contracted salaries to be placed in escrow. I’m not sure where that rule came from, but I can probably guess Al Davis is to blame. A single year’s salary would be $225M for 2023 and around $240M for next season.

However, most of the big name players have guarantees that would destroy that. The most common is a signing bonus. Teams love them because the salary cap rules would allow them to amortize it over the length of the contract, including “void years”. Your QB would receive about $200M immediately upon signing. The expansion draft picks and early draft picks would be another $300-500M likely. In the end, the salary escrow plus bonuses would be about $500M-1B.

So assuming everything goes her way, she’d be on the hook for close to $2.5B immediately plus the reoccurring costs.

It should also be noted that the NFL isn’t really a great way to make money as an owner. It’s really just a long term retirement hobby for billionaires. They could just go invest in companies or whatever, but they buy NFL teams because they like football and it occupies their time. Yeah, they’ll make money, but not as much as they otherwise could. There’s a reason most owners hate the idea of a super-billionaire like Bezos owning a team.

Ctrl+Shift+V exists now which does the exact same thing.

Actually it’s a bit better. Excel always ignores alt codes for the first key press or two after switching windows.

They were doing awful in the first half. Their offense couldn’t get a first down to save their lives. Kelce had one reception for one yard.
