Vim, I’ve not given emacs a fair try yet. At work I’ve got to use what I’ve got to use and neither is an option. At home the last thing I want to do is write more code.

When I do have a choice I’m not doing much more complicated things than editing a config file and anything more advanced than cat would do I guess.

I liked using what was then archaic language back in school 20 years ago. I’ll be one of the last ones to change.

2.5/5.

Average day. But my average is quite good.

Keys on a qwerty keyboard.

That the most important thing is technical know-how.

You’ll have to deal with a lot of difficult people in life. There is a huge difference if you get them to put your task on top of their todo list or on there bottom of the pile on their desk.

Winter (north Scandinavia): 10 minutes by car. Options are walking 1 hour or bus+walking ~40 minutes depending on how close you like to cut it on the bus stop.

Summer: option of bike 15 minutes. Not an option during winter. It’s okay above -15 C, flat ground, low traffic and well plowed streets. None of those are true here.

No. They can be sued for the opposite too. Generally it’s about misleading the shareholders. You can argue that it’s about money in the end because who will buy planes that fall out of the sky?

NEW YORK, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), has been sued by shareholders who said the company prioritized profit over safety and misled them about its commitment to making safe aircraft, prior to the Jan. 5 mid-air cabin panel blowout on an Alaskan Airlines 737 MAX 9.

I’d be surprised I’d be allowed in there in the first place, but I guess if Hitler got there the bar to entry is fairly low.

I’d have some questions to ask but I am guessing the complaint queue is very long considering all victims meeting their murderers in heaven and whatnot so I’ll just go have a harp lesson or something.

I consider it my civic duty to waste as much of their time as possible. It can also serve as an outlet for creativity and have a bit of fun. Think of it as a reverse prank call.

I think my favorite was when they called on my work phone and I tried to set them up as a customer, with my most pleasant voice asking about their billing address and quoting our consulting fees and that I’d be happy to answer any question they wanted as soon as they were set up as a customer. They told me to fuck off and hung up 15 minutes later.

I barely qualify as simian first hour of waking up. I’ve got an answer, an answer that neither you nor I will like.

Go to bed an hour earlier.

I know it works for me, I never do anyway. Now if you excuse me I’ll ooze over to the kitchen counter and guzzle coffee.

Mid 30 Scandinavian right/libertarian leaning.

You can argue for it from both sides.

The right want a small government and to encourage entrepreneurs to take risks. The left want a strong social support system for the unfortunate.

From what I’ve read about it it seems like a good idea. The big question is how you implement it at scale without crashing the current system that works reasonably well.

My body seems to default to a day slightly longer than 24 hours.

This gets worse during summer/winter when daylight does not help in keeping my sleeping habits in check.

Got non perishable food for about a week at home.

-40 temperatures every few years. I live in an apartment so I’m not allowed to install a fireplace and can’t really make changes to the heating system. Got a heap of candles that could keep a small room above freezing for a day or two.

Excessive amounts of snow. 4WD and can work remotely.

Visited family for new years and slept next to one. It made about as much noise as their fridge. It’s most likely a newer model.

Yes. I would not want a row of them in my way looking out over the wilderness that I live next to.

Looking out over the town or farmland I don’t really care.

Grilled sausage in the forest: mustard.

On my pasta earlier this week: ketchup.

On my sandwich this morning: Mayo.

There is a time and place for everything.

Sure my phone manufacturer has my data. Does not mean I’ll give it to the grocery store.

They’d get it too if it was a choice between no food or giving up my data.

More than €250/year.

I’m currently not using membership cards at the local grocery store. The discount I’d get is worth approximately that much for me.

Apple. Vendor lock-in and anti-competitive practice. I’d boycott Google too but at the time of writing I can’t dump the mail for example.

Tesla, until they sign an agreement with the Unions in Sweden. I’m voting right, I’m not a member of an union, but if you want to do business here you follow our culture and norms.

Probably half a dozen more I can’t think of now.

When I feel like I am getting dragged into an argument on the internet I try to remember that when two people argue at least 50% of them are wrong.
