heh

i think he/she is almost done, or at least i hope

my feed is borked

looks like luchnacho is done xD askubuntu.com/help/badges/85/archaeologist

haha do you think they will stop doing it now?

seems like it

my feed is back to normal

hah I just got an upvote on my question on AE, like, 6 months later

lol

I could and should have edited a lot more posts than I have in cleanup tbh

took me a while to realize what AE is

but too many cards, too few spoons

I meant Android Enthusiasts as you presumably figured, sorry

@Zanna somewhat related to your AE answer security.stackexchange.com/questions/137418/…

@edwinksl 'prepend' not 'append' for the Python $PATH: I am still kicking myself

@andrew.46 haha i usually append too

anaconda is a notable exception

Except when the docs specifically tell you not to, sigh.......

I am getting old and slow

my note about the docs came only as an afterthought haha. i only searched for it after i asked OP to prepend :p

i hate cars

god I wanna punch walls

i hate working with my father on anything that remotely comesbto cars

So thanks @edwinksl for solving that and at the same time teaching me a valuable lesson....

@edwinksl oh it was you upvoting me then hahaha

@edwinksl i forgot to find your answer to upvote it earlier!

@Zanna oh i upvoted your answer but not your question :p

@andrew.46 :D

@Serg you are repairing your mom's car?

@edwinksl i would if i knew how to repair cars, but my father takes care of it. Just working with him is a bit . . . stressful. Her car's timing belt broke , so yesterday she completely stopped. Luckly she had enough momentum to turn into nearest right turn and stop next to church. So i came and we called tow truck, and it was easy to pick up

We dropped it off at the repair shop, but my father volunteered to work on it. Today we had to use my car to pull hers from the shop back home ( which is next to our neighborhood )

And then had to use my car again to push it into the garage

I hate cars

Heavy, unreliable, piece of /bin/sh** technology

@edwinksl That's what I thought, I know you only found my answer because I mentioned my question (I still haven't fixed that problem, by the way!)

@Serg yeah i was in a friend's car and we were on a 5-lane freeway when the engine decided to die. we were lucky we were close to an exit and there was enough momentum to actually get out of the way. it was an interesting experience.

we still needed to push it further to make it truly safe from exiting traffic

@Serg would you rather deal with cars or printers

my printer is very well behaved...

20-damn-16 , yet we can't have more reliable and less costly vehicles or alternatives to cars . . . Fax'ing oil industry

this ^

being a chemical engineer, that's an industry i get to deal with

have you ever visited a refinery?

the things that go in a refinery are some of the most technologically advanced things humans have ever built

@Serg the electric car was invented 100 years ago :P

anyway, like it or not, the oil and gas infrastructure is massive and its massiveness cannot be understated. we are not going to be able to wean ourselves off oil anytime soon

@Rinzwind I don't care when it was invented. I wanna use it. NAU !!! >:) I don't wanna deal with paying shiz ton of money to repair something I rely on for commuting to work.

yes we can.costa rica made a 100% switch to green energy :=)

@Serg move to costa rica >:-D

big picture speaking, costa rica doesn't matter

yes it does

it proves it can be done.

Costa Rica is far smaller than US , Russia, Asia

proven on the scale of a small country like costa rica

i would love to see it happen in the countries that would matter in terms of resource consumption

but we have to be realistic

I wanna see the US switch to all green energy. But you know it ain't gonna happen, because who's funding the government ? Oil companies

and the oil producing countries will be -last- anyways

@Rinzwind it doesn't matter because there is no chance US will go "oh costa rica did it, so can we!"

but if you swap costa rica for, say, germany

then it would matter

@edwinksl when the whole of africa does it it does

there is the incent to do it

africa has bigger problems than switching to green energy unfortunately

what they need to do is find a way to sell sand from the sahara ;-)

heh

like make glass from it :)

hello

what africa does have is a lot of rare earth minerals and china knows that :p

yeah

a friend was in namibia and got told a story

@SeverusTux i.stack.imgur.com/cR6MD.jpg

there is metal on the beaches there on the ground and lots of people there use magnets to find them

and get a bit of money for it

a chinese businessman rented a big ass machine with a big ass magnet to clean out the beaches

he got kicked out of namibia _O-

lmao

is that legal

guess not since he got kicked

yeah

kinda out of focus but there's an odd halftoning on most text

kinda wierd they didn't use something like a reader plugin ._.

looks weird indeed @JourneymanGeek

@Zanna oh no i sounded like SSE here :/ chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32533253#32533253

@JourneymanGeek what browser or app is that

@edwinksl kindle experimental browser

@Windows3.1 hi, hi. No need to beg for attention so much

We know you're here just by looking at the list of users

:D :P

@Serg he is staying in character >:-D

:F

windows always has been pushy _O-

@Windows3.1 people are in chatrooms to chat. Be interesting and engage people. This is like yelling at people in the ear with a bullhorn

@Rinzwind can I smack his character ?

nobody likes me any more :( wish they didnt start calling me that untrue name of "outdated"

@JourneymanGeek make that a vuvuzela :p

@JourneymanGeek last time I told him to upgrade to 3.11 so he could network. 3.1 should not be able to use the internet

@Windows3.1 well, 3.11 was the 'good' one

even had networking!

you know what??? OK!!!

SEE!

moment!

@JourneymanGeek more importantly!!! it had HEARTS

AR darn it

cant change until October

LOL

why do they make such a stupid limit

@Rinzwind true

stack exchange sucks!

damn this is funky askubuntu.com/questions/829261/…

is that an image? :X

at step 4?

talk about one good question!

took the time to include all that!

that is a bad question

ooh

He posts bunch of images in the terminal , instead of copying text.

That's bad

@JourneymanGeek what happend? :-)

@SeverusTux I stand corrected. Switching it to article mode is beautiful and should work wonderfully for AU

I can't copy his exact command to test, if my internet connection won't download pictures

it does nto work on the main page, but individual questions seem fine
