Oil/siliconed various gears and moving parts. Bike feels brand new.

Took less than 5 minutes. I really should do that more often.

I saw a giant shadow duck driving southbound I5 about 3 hours south of San Francisco. (30~ hours awake)

Shame about the brain damage i guess.

Right. Yeah I didn't engage my brain on the & initially as i thought it was just a typo. But that should work, seems others on the internet think the same.

I like 'exec startx', but really if someone has physical access, unless you are doing a lot of other security, you can't be safe.

If you switch to the VT with Ctrl-Alt-F1, and hit ctrl-z the process is suspended, but does not complete so it never gets to the exit.

At least that is my suspicion. I'm going to try it when I'm in front of a machine.

Joke's on you. Ctrl-Alt-F1 Ctrl-z.

Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

I was fully expecting to go back further and write a heist movie fit for netflix.

Rental income is considered income, and taxed assuming reasonable tax brackets much higher than investment income (That is to say, caiptal-gains. Interest/Dividends are also taxed at the higher income rate)

The cost of maintaining a livable home, property taxes, insurance, property depreciation, and renter interactions eat into the supposed windfall that landlords make.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck sometimes and that certainly these formulas are out of whack in some situations, but there are no easy answers.

I once interviewed at a (very) big usenet provider. The job was perl, I knew perl, must be fun.

No.

The job was to implement the byzantine B.S. "discounts" and plan-pricing "deals" that the sales team came up with to most effectively screw the customer.

I declined.

Looks like that boat is pusing somewhere between 0 and 2 duckpower.
