Honestly, lowering the flag for him cheapens lowering the flag altogether.

It just doesn’t mean what it used to. This is when it changed.

And in my experience, Oracle database administrators tend to never want to try anything else.

I worked at a startup in the mid-2000s that couldn’t afford Oracle but did it anyway because the DBA was originally from the government space and was terrified of anything non-Oracle. It was sacrilege to suggest something else. That startup obviously didn’t last long… because they ran out of money.

Once DBAs get those sweet Oracle certifications and proprietary salaries, they can’t let go.

Same! Had no idea, definitely didn’t get the joke

I like this part.

The shelter shares space with Billings’ animal control division. When smoke started filling parts of the building, Halverson assumed it was from burning carcasses because she said they had never known about the drug burns.

Nice. Wonder how much the FBI in Montana has been affecting these people’s health to get quietly get rid of things.

Gotcha! That’s so fascinating, thanks for the info.

Oh I love these colors!

Do they call delivery people in other places “rider” or is the delivery person named Rider? “Rider chat” seems so odd

The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.”

Huh. Can’t see any problems here. Have the day you keep voting for, buddy!

I feel so bad that some poor “salt of the earth” can’t keep the farms their daddies left them… 🙄

Do yourself a favor and don’t click through.

X is worse than YouTube comments were a decade ago. Just a total cesspool.

Maybe this was actually a punishment for a guy who hates talking.

So now he has to wash the skid steer AND get interrupted while doing it. lol!

nushell seriously looks amazing for working with data. I gotta remember it exists the next time I’m doing stuff like this.

It seems like a nice shell to have around and usable for cases like this regardless!

Whoa, there are so many more than I thought!

I use zsh, mainly because I’ve been using it for a really long time and it felt like an upgraded bash.

I also have used fish a tiny amount and like the idea but zsh just works for my purposes and I already know how it works.

nushell looks really cool though!

I don’t have much occasion to use awk any more but it can be really useful!

Kith Treats X Katz’s Delicatessen Review: Pastrami Has No Business In Ice Cream

lol! As expected. That sounds absolutely horrific.

The one-two punch of pastrami seasoning and mustard seeds utterly dominated this dessert. Whatever light and smooth attributes that once existed for Kith’s vanilla ice cream succumbed to the tastes and sandy textures borrowed from the smoked meats from Katz’s.

Mmm dessert

I also assume his part was mostly filmed somewhere in the hot desert as well, though it’s been a long time since I’ve seen A New Hope.

I could see him thinking “do I have to go back to Tunisia?”

He end in 2000 actually

But spirit live on

Man, I could have sworn tons of people said this was a U.S.-only thing.

Canada sure was confident about “elbows up” while Alberta was talking about seceding for the same reasons.

No one is immune.

Ah yes, Sun Tzu said “If your opponent calls you the same thing you call him, there’s no comeback, game over.”

Yep, it’s actually from 2015! The artist is the original Ziggy artist’s son (literally Tom Wilson and Tom Wilson II), so I’m sure he intentionally references the old art style.

I think this is more of a general plane crash joke than a 9/11 joke. It’s not specific about where the plane is going and lots of plane crashes happened between September 11, 2001 and November 27, 2015 (when the comic was published).

I’d be surprised if Ziggy didn’t make pretty much the same joke in the 1970s-1980s!

I thought the same thing.

I was like “there were Ziggy cartoons in 2015?!” But yep, Ziggy is apparently still ongoing.

The most recent one is also about airplanes. “We’ve upgraded you to early deplaning, here’s your parachute!”
