I’ve been involved in this once. There were two of us in the QA department that did subtly different jobs. They wanted rid of the other guy, but as we had very similar roles I had to be involved in the consultation process. What they did is

Basically, yeah. It actually has its origin in MUDs, from 'spec_proc', short for special procedure.

1888 is very much not 'pre-industrial revolution', which had started over 100 years prior.

Not quite the specific chemicals anymore. As I understood it, when they outlawed 1v, the legislation was changed to also consider the weight of the molecule. Ok fine, still whack-a-mole, it just took the clandestine chemists slightly longer

I’ve used it probably daily since about 2006. Which is kind of sad actually.

You can 'fix' the texture filtering to nearest neighbour in hl by adding the following to userconfig.cfg (should be in a directory called 'valve' in the game's root directory): gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEA

You set them free and they’ll find the bugs. You can also give them a huge variety of food waste. This mostly only supplements their feed though

This has been the case of years. My first FOSDEM was about a decade ago and it felt like that then. You go to a room a talk or two before the talk you actually want to see because of the queues, which means you’re in a talk you didn’t neces

Actually, given enough practice, you can literally just get your eyes to do it. I started doing magic eye puzzles as a kid and loved it, so just eventually learned how to control my eyes in that way. Even today, if I see any repeating patte

Engraved onto something like titanium would be better than a fireproof safe - they're only safe for X amount of time (I want to take a stab in the dark and say about 90 minutes?). This is how I have backed up some (since retired) crypt

I got FOSDEM flu from FOSDEM 2020 and sometimes wondered if it was COVID-19. Absolutely horrendous flu, and a few of my friends also got it. This was obviously pre all the testing that would become commonplace in the coming months. Who know

After doing some internet sleuthing, I'm about 95% sure I know what he's doing today, and if it who I suspect, he has had a decent career in IT. Would rather not post my findings to respect the man's privacy.

You're not allowed to dump any human waste in any of the canals or rivers (ignore the fact that plenty of companies in the UK do this...). There are two common approaches to dealing with human waste aboard canal boats; cassette toilets

For the history of the canals, wikipedia[1] has a pretty good page. The Canal and River Trust (CRT) is the current authority for much of the canal system in England and Wales, and they have a site[2] with plenty of little articles on indivi

Hmm I investigated that and the missing sections on OSM are indeed tagged with boat: yes and motorboat: yes. I'll do a little more digging PS. Despite using OSM for many years, I've never looked into editing it. Thanks for giving
