Stuff like deliver a calzone to a Somalia warlord in active fighting area. An inner city gang leader really wants some authentic Raman before his enemies find his safe house. A South American revolutionary really has a craving for taco bell but is in a small base in the Amazon rain forest.

Don't mean this sexually just curious about people's preferences. Are you the bath robe type? Underwear and a T shirt? Nothing? Fully dressed? Sweat suit?

I believe I have a good understanding of what is stored on the stack(for example primitive data types) and what's stored on the heap(for example an instance of a class. But is there anyway to verify this for educational/verification of my expectations reasons?

It can be in a debugger(gdb or rad debugger or worst case vs) or directly code based(thinking something like gettype(variable) but like isstackstored(variable).

Do not give out any personal information. This is like do you have a girl who cries at the smallest inconvenience? Do you have someone who is a parent and that alone is now their personality? Do you have a guy who you hide from Monday mornings so he doesn't tell you about the fish he caught on Sunday that was THIS BIG!

Keep it light hearted!

We were talking about what to have for dinner and she wanted a wrap. I made a comment about not having any beets. She barely reacted... So I am lighting the dad-signal, give me some good recipes for wraps with beets! 😋

Not talking about the people themselves just how awesome some names are. My favorites is Stephan Wolfram and Matt Goldbolt!

Last night I dreamed I was having some sort of oral surgery but the surgery ward was also an unrelated production floor. They gave me anesthesia(six different chemicals all given orally) and told me to sit down and wait. As I sat down a nurse told me to "I got your soup for after surgery since you'll probably be hungry". I then had to move to let production continue and some kid in a red shirt ran over came over took my soup and ran away, I chased him but before I caught him he poured the whole thing out onto the parking lot. I finally caught him and asked why he stole it he said "so you can't have it". I went back inside and looked for the nurse to get more soup. I couldn't find her, I kept looking at the door, a bunch of people kept coming in but never the nurse. I woke up before I ever found the nurse to get more soup.

It was pretty weird, what's your weirdest dream?

Nothing serious, this is for fun. My example was a friend told me you get computer viruses if you use disks that were dropped on the ground outside. His logic was he was told you get sick if you eat stuff off the ground. Sickness is caused by viruses. Computers can get viruses. Computers "eat" floppy disks. So if you put a dirty floppy into a computer you will make it sick by giving it a virus.

Yes it's mostly wrong but you can sorta see the logic...

What I mean is everyone wants both. And I'm not talking huge differences. I don't mean go from 30k per year to 120k per year or going home sweating everyday to watching Netflix most days. What brought the question up was I was in hospital and the computer the scanned all the medication and machines into was on my right side of bed and Iv pole where all medications were on my left. Nurses also had to deal with wired scanners which they had to hold up above the bed to walk around. Not a huge problem but cover 30 rooms with 4-16 different medications to swap out per day was probably a major pain(nurses can chime in disagreeing).

Another thing I've seen is people in a warehouse with systems logging all locations a product could be in and saying yeah we have some of that in one of these and they have to walk around to check several locations to find which still has some.

So you want a 2k-6k raise... If your job was easier how much would that make you stay instead of just demanding a raise?

Edit: this is not a real situation but say I have 4 employees under me and an extra 25k in budget. Would you prefer a raise or to improve your job?

Unrelated to topic but I was in hospital recently and nurses came around to do vital,blood pressure oxygen temperature.i was having a high blood pressure. Often I lay with crossed legs but a nurse told me to uncross my legs and blood pressure went down. Why why cross legs increase blood pressure ?

I don't mean like I fantisize of it. I literally dream of it in sleep. Like last night I dreamed about inspecting welds under a high magnifying microscope. Then a woman comes up and asks a unrelated question so I get up and go help her fix an electrical test system. I don't really know the solution so I just list off two people who probably know and helped with similar issues I had and then I woke up.

God damn it brain if I'm going to work for you then I should get paid by you...

Other day I was making a spreadsheet in excel. After a while I got up to go to coffee machine. A former Co worker comes up and tells me about his daughter going to school that morning. I just wanted some coffee but it didn't matter. I had to listen to this guy's daughter school drop off. Then I woke up in real life...

Not looking for financial advice, I'm not in this situation. Just curious of people's thought process about stuff.

Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like "hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor"

I can't imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

Running Debian sid and it mostly works (still struggling with Nvidia drivers for video). Last night I was watching a video and everything was fine, sound worked. Son was in room "asleep". I left to use bathroom and then he came looking for me. I don't know what happened while I was in bathroom but now I hear nothing out of speakers. If I reboot into windows sound works so it's not a physical issue. Reboot back into Linux no sound. Boot off flash drive Linux, no sound but I think that was always true and was a alsamixer issue on flash drive Linux setups. Volume on YouTube turned to 100, verified not muted, volume in KDE at 100 and not muted. Physical volume on speakers at 100, volume knob on keyboard at 100 and mute not engaged. All volume sliders in alsamixer maxed out. Simple setup, 2.1 speaker system plugged into sound output on motherboard no mixer or fancy equipment.

Son is non-verbal and severally autistic so I can't ask him. Whatever happened was almost definitely an accident but I can't figure out what happened. I see like a lighter bar moving on the KDE volume slider which seems to match expected video audio so I believe KDE is receiving the signal to play sound but nothing comes out of speakers. He struggles to feed himself soup or cereal so it's not like he found some super secret command and is playing joke. Something seems to be accidently hit and is blocking sound... Maybe a mute hot key not synced to main audio controls so it's not obvious that it's active???

Edit... This is solved. KDE mixer and alsamixer made no change but changing the output in pavucontrol fixed it. I have no idea why or how. Thanks for everyone who recommended it.

Those companies were all found to be pyramid schemes!

Well first someone would need to put a bank inside a whale...

I'm not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

I don't expect much but I found an old pi I bought probably 2016(may of been 2017). It was supposed to be a pi-hole but was never able to get the dns forwarding to work on my modem. It still works but wanted to somehow convert it to a regular distro(it's based on a micro-SD and I don't have any more microsd readers). I wanted to set it up as a basic system I could ssh into a terminal. Not expecting anything fancy or even graphic based. A lot of stuff I want to learn/practice "work" on windows but are native to Linux, like vim/neovim nmap gcc etc. Is this feasible? Am I under estimating what's possible with it?
