Lansweeper uses Belgian beers. Not quite mythological but I think that’s pretty funny.

He’s a brilliant character. My wife and I regularly refer to him in real life (e.g. she will call me Jackson Lamb when I’m eating sloppily).

Once the lawsuit about illegally lending out books is completely settled, I may consider donating again if they focus on their core activity, namely archiving of websites.

I want to support their archiving activities, not their misplaced piracy.

After 150 turns it’s only fun when you go to war a lot.

What episode is this from?

Depends a bit where you live, but my guess is on average € 45-50k, with whatever local benefits there are. Which translates to between 3 and 4k a month, depending on whether a 14th month is included. But this can be a lot higher or lower depending on the location.

He does a years worth of updates in like 3 or 4 weeks and then takes off for like 6 months. For me that’s acceptable. When he does get around to it, he pushes updates like the Flash on speed and fixes nearly all flagged issues in addition to adding new features that have been requested.

Dutch, German, French, English and what starts to become passable Slovak.

Same for me. Started watching youtube videos in firefox with ublock origin, works perfectly fine.

On a side note, Smart Youtube for Android tv still works perfectly fine.

I think it means boring.

Wait, Wiz Khalifa is a dude? I always thought it was a woman…

Cross shoulder, right shoulder to left hip. A friend once told me that is how gay people carry their bags, but my self-consciousness is not fragile enough to give up comfort for the odd chance of being considered homosexual. Anyway, that and in summer shorts with a t-, polo- or regular shirt, in winter long trousers (not jeans usually) with sweater and a jacket. Nothing special, really.

I used to have my pockets always filled, but since a couple of years I have a leather bag (i.e. a manpurse or as my wife calls it: the gay bag) in which I have my work phone, keys, wallet, chewing gum, sunglasses, reading glasses, paper tissues and sometimes a drinking bottle. Also occasionally a book.

I was hoping that series or movie would ever materialize, but it always was a very long shot.

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

But that’s not fighting and some people have that sense of humor. Feel bad for them if they are unhappy, but if they are happy, why not be happy for them?

The question doesn’t state anything about a game or amount of games, just that you will be compared. Of course there is variance, but that’s not what is being measured. All I’m saying is that if you take 99 random people and me, I’m fairly sure that I would be the best backgammon player.

Apart from the fact some enlightenment on the subject is only a simple query away, you can also test yourself whether there is skill is involved. Just download a free backgammon program like gnu backgammon and play the computer on the easiest setting a couple of times. You will get destroyed. Also, if it were about luck, you would have a completely random world champion every year instead of recurring winners. Not that you would care because you chose not to educate yourself and make an asinine comment anyway on a subject you clearly know nothing about.

It doesn’t state it would just be one game, nor that you would have to win, just that you had to be better, which is easy to demonstrate with a program that measures the error level as backgammon is a game of skill with a large chance factor and not a game of chance.

Backgammon, pretty sure I’m in the top 1% of all people since it’s not a super popular game and I’m a somewhat decent player.
