Extra fabulous comics will always get an upvote

Do you research of raspberry pis, they are really great. You do need to be careful though, sdcards die comparatively fast, and you don’t want anything important to be on it when it does. Or at least backed up (Borg is cool).

A few things I remember.

Nobody sanitised their inputs.

You could get through logins by making a database query check whether 1 = 1 instead of a password. You could put JavaScript into guest book fields to redirect people to whatever crazy site you wanted.

My university lecturer told me about a well known supermarket that built a shop front. They made it in such a way that you could change the numbers before they were submitted and it wasn’t validated on the back end. So free food.

I use em all the time, for no particular reason either. I just like how they look. I didn’t realise this was a AI detection metric until recently.

I need to know

I built a new PC recently. All I needed to see were the benchmarks over the last 5 years. There’s currently no contest.

My dentist does it. I think it is fairly common to be done by a dentist in Germany.

The lemmings scrolled too greedily and too deep.

When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.

Sounds like someone is due a raise 😅

LOOK AT THE BONES!

Sounds about right. I was a die hard fan of Intel for years. I upgraded my PC this year and I picked AMD for the first time in my life. Looking at the scathing reviews and performance tables, it is an insane choice to pick Intel.

We do also get money taken directly out of our pay check for health insurance. So it isn’t just the 5 euro fee. But I think it manages to be considerably less, since everyone is required to have insurance. I think that brings down the cost for everyone.

Also Germany: I live rural. Most times I’ve gone I see the doctor itv takes than 30 minutes, but it depends on who else is there obviously. First come first served.

Interesting that they ask you to call in advance. I’ve never had that. We can, if we want an after midday appointment for something specific.

Yes, the awkward “Moin”. Definitely!

There used to be a 15 euro per quarter charge when using the local doctor. They scrapped that a few years ago.

All the blood work I’ve had has been free. But I’m not sure what you meant by extensive. I take a lot of anti biotics, so they check my liver numbers occasionally.

But yeah, generally a similar experience to you.

A person with one watch always knows what time it is; a person with two watches never does.

Of course!
