This is a great one. It’s been in our holiday movie rotation for years and it’s always a hit.

Holy shit, soulseek is still a thing??! TIL

Larry Ellison likes controlling Oracle and being a billionaire. Rather than selling stock of Oracle to fund his lifestyle, he instead borrows against the value of the stock. As Oracle appreciated, he got to keep the gains he doesn’t trigger capital gains taxes.

I never really understood this. He still has to pay the loan, and he isn’t doing that with his symbolic $1/year salary. What part am I missing?

Interesting! Thanks for the screenshots. I’m on iOS, so not familiar with Chrome vs FF on mobile.

I was curious for an example because it’s probably been a decade since I’ve had an issue with FF rendering something improperly (or even differently) compared with Chrome. A while back, we did have one internal webpage at work that had a very small difference in FF, but that went away after a few FF updates happened. I was the only one who ever noticed the difference.

Can you give any examples where we can see these differences?

30, 40, 50, 69.

Welcome to the workforce! (I’m assuming you’re new…)

Sure you can. All of the bands I the middle of the y-axis are equally angry and horny.

Not sure excel ever gives that sensation.

I do both manual labor, and what most non-IT people would call “IT” at my job. I’d guess it’s about a 30/70 split for me during an average year.

Working in Excel can 100% result in that sensation of immense satisfaction if you’re working with the right type of data, and you’re able to build something complicated and beautiful. Most people are just putting numbers in order or doing basic accounting. But, if you learn enough, working in Excel (or google sheets) can become, more or less, programming.

It is definitely my favorite thing to do at work if I can block out enough time to do what I want.

I don’t think the example given above is an apples-to-apples comparison though. This new example of “an infinite non-repeating string” is actually “an infinite non-repeating string of only 0s and 1s”. Of course it’s not going to contain a “2”, just like pi doesn’t contain a “Y”. Wouldn’t a more appropriate reframing of the original question to go with this new example be “would any finite string consisting of only 0s and 1s be present in it?”

The best way forward depends on a lot of unknowns.

• What make and model of guitar?
• What type of finish (poly or lacquer)?
• You mention “blacking it out”, so I’m guessing the color is either black or a burst?
• Where is the chip (front of the body, neck, headstock, neck/body joint, under the pick guard)?
• How big is the chip (size of a pencil eraser, size of a quarter, etc)?
• Is it down to the wood? Or only the clear coat? Is there a clear coat?

Pics would help clarify quite a lot.

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Patriot, on Amazon streaming. I’ve been telling people for years—it’s the BEST show that NO ONE watched.

A depressed deep-cover operative sings bleak folk songs about his job at open mics. Stylistic elements (both visual and writing) from the Cohen brothers and Wes Anderson. Incredible cast. Funny. Sad. Two seasons, and both are great. 10/10

I feel seen! If you get “regards” instead of “best regards” you should know you’re on my shit list.
