Prior to the website rpmfind.net, installing software was to put it mildly, a chore. Due to package dependency, you'd start the compile, and it would fail due to missing libraries. You'd then go out and find those libraries, only to have them fail on compile...due to missing libraries...it would go on like until you finally were able to compile the original package - at this point though you compiled it out of sheer spite for the universe that put you in that position.

I rate the experience a solid 5/7

I hadn't thought about which direction it'd be pointed, I guess I assumed it would be pointed forwards...as a warning to all of my enemies - especially if they include Artic Char, those guys need to lighten up and let me smack them with my sweet long tooth

It's all good, as long as it points forward, and not up, or down...I'd hate to be tripping over it - but it would be so worth it to go around smacking fish for no good reason 😂

Two things that are almost always in my fridge are pickled sliced red onion, and pickled jalapenos. It's so easy to put together, and a nice bright addition to dishes

Okay, calm down Satan

Edit: This time science has gone too far 😂

It's hilarious that people think I'm some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I've even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can't wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.

Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don't have to wade into the mess

Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

"In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

At this point, several of the children giggle.

I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company"

"That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits."
