I saw a speaker at Black Hat once break down some big failures in international espionage, and one instance he cited was CIA agents thinking they could use a Doritos bag as a Faraday cage.

Just one tattoo. I got it at 20 about a year after my dad passed away. It's an homage to the only tattoo my dad had throughout my childhood, which was a bird on his arm. I got it done by an old friend of his, who owned a tattoo shop. He free-handed it off of a grainy, faded photograph that I pulled out of an old photo album. He did a fantastic job; it's a 1:1 replica.

It's faded just a bit now (I've had it for nearly 15 years), but not badly. I'll probably get it touched up in a few years to brighten up the colors.

Probably "The Core" (2003). I saw it in science class in 8th grade and immediately thought it was the coolest movie ever. Years later, I saw people online ripping it to shreds over its inaccuracies, but I still enjoyed it for being a fun disaster film with an enjoyable ensemble cast of characters.

Setting up remote access for Jellyfin felt pretty trivial for me like 2 years ago when switching away from Plex. No hiccups that I can recall whatsoever. Except for maybe the nginx reverse proxy configuration, but the documentation made it decently straightforward, but that step isn't strictly necessary to get remote access working; that was just something I wanted for my particular setup.

And I wouldn't call the Jellyfin UI janky at all. I use it every day and can't think of any common issues I encounter when using it. There surely are quirks with some features, but I find them few and far between. I recall Plex having its own UI quirks back when I used it.

If memory serves, Alpine is not entirely free of GNU software. Checking their own website, they use GCC and GNU Make:

https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages

But even when/if Alpine (or anyone else) creates a distro entirely free of GNU software, the vast majority of mainstream distributions would still fall under the "GNU/Linux" umbrella when the typical user is discussing Linux.

"Mmmmm, PFAS." seems like an oversimplification, given that the study's conclusion states

individuals reporting the use of dental floss had lower levels of serum PFASs overall, with the exception of PFOA, which was slightly elevated.

Not quite. You understood that the blue character was correct. You just missed that the joke was that yellow was wrong.

I think the point of the joke is that the yellow character has fundamentally misunderstood the statement provided by the blue character. They erroneously interpret, "All squares have four sides" as "Squares are the only shape with four sides" because they are not good at parsing rigid, scientific statements (since most people are not particularly scientifically literate).

I think OP's comics are meant to reflect the frustrations of conversing with people who simply don't understand what science/research/studies/etc actually say.

Reminds me of how Zeus cobbled together Pegasus from a handful of different kinds of clouds in Hercules.

"Hmm, let's see here. A little cirrus... a touch of nimbostratus, and a dash of cumulus."

I'd recommend Cheese (e.g.: apt install cheese) since it requires virtually no setup to start recording video and photos.

Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) also works for this purpose, but requires more setup, generally.

GIMP feels like it's still in the stage of being extremely powerful but awkward as heck to wield, like Blender used to be. Blender used to have a pretty unintuitive interface before getting a massive overhaul a few years back. GIMP could use a similar facelift IMO.

Noice. I multiclassed as a Monk/Sword Sage (from the Tome of Battle expansion) and had fun being my party's enforcer for a long, multi-year campaign. Most of the rest of the party were squishy sorcerers and such, so I was pretty combat-heavy to balance that out. Some of the most fun I've ever had.

Our DM was kind of a jerk but he was generally a good DM. After that long ass 3.5 campaign I barely ever played with him again, but kept playing with the friends I enjoyed playing with more. Constantly did one-shots on the weekends when I didn't have too much homework.
