It feels like the last sentence should have been a question.

In Norwegian depending on context and where you’re from you might say other words like Rumpe, Rass, Rauv, etc. The most polite and normally written one of them is Rumpe.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I have only used it for quite simple things like getting the id’s out of log lines where this and this key word exist. Great tip about pattern searching!

Merry Christmas

Wait. Are there flavors of regex? Every time I have to use regex it hurts my brain and I never need to do it enough to actually sit down and learn it properly like OP is doing. Just knowing there are different ways of doing the same things in an already mind baffeling language blows me away even more.

Oh! I just remembered that the size of shotgun shell pellets are calculated that way. Take a fixed amount of lead and the gauge (we call it caliber) og the pellets is defined by how many of them you can make from that lump of lead.

Here in Norway it’s more expensive to live than ever. The interest is high and all other prices on have balooned this year, so the prices are too damn high. But I guess that is true for most countries.

Many people believe we are on the verge of a housing bubble bursting within a few years, so that might be a good time to relocate.

At this point I’m almost afraid to ask, but I guess I need to know. How do you measure thin steel thickness?

Your measuring systems never cease to amaze me. This one is even more confusing than measuring socket wrenches in fractal inches.

That sounds horrible!

That sudden silence followed by a minutes tinnitus every couple of months is the weirdest thing.

This really hit home. I have to play games I can squeeze a half an hour to an hour into every now and then now. No more online multiplayer stuff, more zelda and puzzlers.

Oh I see! I barely remember 3.11. Propably the same exact executable for solitaire then.

Wait this was 3.11? I thought these were in 95?

38 here. Back pain started last year. Exercise is the way to go. I do weights about once a week now and the pain is gone and I am in better shape in general.

It seems like you’re describing the phenomenon where people get promoted up until the point where they don’t do a good job anymore.

I never knew how people can not see that the position was not for them and still accept it, and even work the job for years.

I could take a job where I had the technical responsibility for what my team makes, but I don’t ever want to be anybodys boss. All of that personal stuff on a day to day basis, negotiating pay, etc just isn’t for me.

No op just said Linux does exactly what you want. My point is that it sometimes is very hard to know how to do what you want. I am not saying Windows is any better in this regard though.

If you know exactly what you want and how to do it.

I spent countless hours trying to make my display driver working in Linux years ago. I knew what I wanted, but it was impossible. For me at least. I know many who has similar experiences.
