Oh to be able to choose

The problem you have is you care which disk gets wiped, russian roulette is the best design pattern!

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=$(ls /dev/sd* | shuf | head -n1)

......I shouldn't need to say, but don't run that unless you want to make your day a bit worse

Given you would need to pay actors and a production team to do this conventionally, $250/m is massively undercutting the cost of a human created equivalent.

Even if this produces shit half the time, there's enough greedy marketing agency owners out there that will be thinking they can save tens of thousands a month in salary by gutting their video production teams

We don't know how long he's been there—could have been months

Sorry I just said that because you said you couldn't get through the first episode—I don't think I'd have thought it was any good if that was all I saw either. The standard American sitcom rule I follow is 4-6 episodes before I can really tell if it's actually gonna work, until that point the characters usually come across as 1 dimensional even if it ends up being good.

But fair play regardless, everyone likes different stuff!

That's funny that's exactly the main demographic still getting COVID vaccines on the regular in the UK, you know, because they have weaker immune systems

Edit: I misread that they were limiting it for them and not to them. Which on reflection probably should have made me read again....

Everyone should be able to get one if they want

Surprising you're on the internet and haven't heard of always sunny given it's about to start its 17th season, but I guess it might just not be your kind of thing after all

Agree about whatever the hell else is making up that list though

You kinda have to give any American sitcom at least half a season before you can really judge it. They pretty much all start out rubbish and it's only when the actors grow into the roles can you tell if it's actually gonna be good.

FWIW Brooklyn 99 was very much an ensemble comedy by the time it got going rather than primarily focusing on Samberg, even though he was still ostensibly the lead role.

MBFC gives The Guardian and Breitbart equivalent ratings for factuality, which is patently ridiculous

It's not a reliable gauge of anything, and it's harmful to trust its rankings

Too little too late, no one's buying a Tesla now

I assume it's a symptom of government IT generally not getting the funding it needs.

For a good while Microsoft was pretty much the only game in town that could give you the whole server OS, distributed identity (AD), email, and end user OS & productivity software as one big procurement and support contract—plus every other IT guy had MCSE certifications anyway so it was what they ended up selecting.

Once that was all set up in the 90s when governments were going hard on the IT bandwagon, I imagine the cost of migrating all of that to an alternative was seen as an unnecessary expense when governments could consider the US a stable ally.

Holy shit that's egregious

Who in their right mind chooses Microsoft for email after this? Baffling they'd completely slaughter the golden goose they have in Outlook/Exchange like that.

 

I finished work a bit early today, went for a walk, met a friend at a newly opened pub, watched the football with a few pints and just got back home.

Another fun Friday to put into the box of fun Fridays

What's going on in your corner of the world?

 

It is known across Liverpool as the Radio City tower but that moniker may not be around much longer as the structure hosts its final live broadcast on Christmas Eve.

Microphone cables are being bundled up and heaving contacts books packed into boxes, leaving empty what is arguably the most famous building of the city’s skyline – St Johns Beacon, to use its proper name.

Built in 1969, originally as a luxury revolving restaurant that was one visited by Queen Elizabeth II, the tower was listed Grade II in 2020, with Historic England describing it as “embodying the technological bravura and spirit of the space age”.

 

What would you add/change for next time

I know I could do with a sweeter red vermouth

 

Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

So canvas is on again this year! We could try and be a bit more organised this time if people are around

I've not started anything yet

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now
