All it takes is a little hypnosis and a bunch of LSD.
Not aware of Bill Hicks’ take, but marketing effectively amounts to manipulating people into buying things that they otherwise would not.
I use this one regularly
So he can practice his scales.
Probably sleep late, then spend some quiet afternoons digging through the wreckage for a can of something that doesn’t seem too radioactive. Maybe get into painting or something.
About 15 years ago, my dad was doing some work on a manufacturing line and needed some technical drawings done (schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts). I was just starting college, but had learned Autocad in high school, so he hired me to make them.
It paid well, and me being relatively inexperienced, I went the extra mile to make them clear, readable, and easy to work with. I think I did several dozen pages of drawings.
Just this year, my dad was chatting with someone from that plant about something unrelated. The person asked how I was doing, and said those drawings were still the best ones anyone had done for them. Felt pretty good.
Hydration levels vary wildly by the moment
I usually move static assignments outside the DHCP range, but in general, most routers will avoid re-allocating it even if it’s within the DHCP range.
It’s actually based on a string of jokes I posted in this community. But that’s a fun interpretation! I just added the rubber band as a red herring.
Yeah, does anyone else remember the menu bars that would show up and disappear depending on what you were doing? Those were awful–the ribbon method of context-specific tabs is better (IMO).
Haven’t heard that one before. Brilliant.
Wait… what’s the missing one?
I imagine both groups expect to recruit from the other
If he wins, we’ll all wish the moon would start colliding with earth.
There’s a great comic by The Oatmeal that explains it more thoroughly, and it’s an amusing read.
This string of jokes requires patience. Tune in tomorrow for part 3.

Math! Also, noise!
There are algorithms (a set of math steps) that make pseudo-random numbers. These usually involve large prime numbers, because those usually generate fewer repeating patterns.
A truly random number generator is similar to rolling dice: you use some source of randomness and convert it to a number. All electric circuits produce “noise” (which is often received radio waves and such that interfere with the circuits). Think of tuning a radio to a channel with nothing on it–you get “white noise”, which can be a good source of random information. Then all you need to do is convert that to a range of numbers, and you’re good to go.
These are fairly simplified explanations, so take them with a grain of salt, but they give the general idea.
