I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.

Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”

It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.

rClone is so awesome! It does so much that I wanted for so long.

Oh the OP repo is based on rClone, I didn’t realize. Even better!

It is!!

Someone might assert that, “All toupees look fake. I’ve never seen a good toupee.” This is an example of neglecting the base rate because if I had seen good toupees, I wouldn’t know it.

Thanks, I love learning names for these things when they come up!

Oh I just read about Disney doing that to the guy who wrote the original Star Wars novelizations, I think. They assumed all of Lucasfilm’s assets but not their liabilities, including royalty agreements.

It’s insane that this “works” for companies the size of Disney and Lucasfilm.

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.

SSX Fans unite!

Ooooh, I feel dumb that I didn’t pick up on this before.

I knew about movies (Top Gun and all) but not other things, for whatever reason.

I just want to say, I don’t think you’re the village idiot. The fediverse is honestly pretty confusing right now and I would have expected what you used to work too.

This list is so comprehensive, I’ve been looking at it for quite a while and found lots of communities I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for posting it!

You may like BroForce, a run-and-gun game where you unlock different characters as you go. I had a really good time with coop!

Interestingly, in my family it was lemon juice. Never mattered how much lemon juice it was, but it worked 99% of the time.

I have stomach problems, so that much acid at once isn’t ideal for me.

My wife’s family has always done a spoonful of maple syrup, so I tried that… and it works literally every time for me!

1. SimFarm was so much fun! I had a system using oranges that got me huge profitable farms but I haven’t played in quite a while so I don’t remember the specifics
2. SimAnt, which I borrowed on 3.5” floppy and managed to “win,” which felt like an accomplishment.
3. SimCity 2000 had such satisfying graphics and I loved building beautiful utopias with infinite money. Still do this with Cities: Skylines!
4. SimCopter. I spent hundreds of hours flying around cities I built in SimCity 2000.
5. SSX Tricky or SSX 3, with updated graphics.

SimAnt is a really good one! I never had SimEarth, but I played SimAnt and SimFarm to death

Kept meaning to come back to this thread and talk about OpenTTD! I’ve been a Transport Tycoon game since I was fourteen or so! I love getting sucked in to a new transportation empire.

A quote I think about is “a falling knife has no handle.”

I’ve never dropped a knife but I’m hoping if I do I’ll be prepared!
