Haha, nice.

Funnily enough I’ve been talking to people a lot about screw types recently. My wife was taking some hardware out of the house and cursing the varied kinds of screws used during installation; a friend and co-worker has been obsessed with the varieties ever since I met him; and my six year old found some of the screws dropped by my wife and asked why they were different.

I like the PlayStation stylized screw much more.

Personally it kinda reminds me of that tool they use to open toilet paper containers in some public restroom stalls.

Fun fact: I searched DDG for “brown ring of quality” and it returned Lucent Technology. Do with that what you will.

Right - I think the difference is that, when using a fob, you’re likely within line of sight or at least nearby your car and so presumably could observe or otherwise check for car occupants, but so long as your car and phone both have reception you can use the app from anywhere without any clue who might be in or around the car.

I used to have a Tesla (traded it in). In the app you could open, but not close, the windows. It could be inconvenient at times but I assume the reasoning was similar.

And, as a bonus, any ghosts or demons therein!

And can be configured to only communicate within your network.

A wise coworker of mine once told me that, when it comes to what Unix commands stand for, you kind of make it up as you go.

In this case, though, looks like we were both wrong.

In EverQuest there was a character named Canloe Nusback who would accept endless amounts of Crushbone resources in a repeatable quest and so who was commonly used for grinding.

It was popular to call him “Camel Nutsack.” Once, I told someone in OOC chat that he was “fondly” referred to as such and someone else said that they’d never talked about a nutsack fondly. The exchange stuck with me, apparently for two and a half decades. Thus, your username reminds me of that conversation and, subsequently, the character and game.

I mean, for at least the first five letters, I can’t even tell the difference.

Every time I see you, your username reminds me of EverQuest.

I think I’ve brought it up before.

You run a Discord server for work? I thought my company using Google was crazy.

My client apparently no longer allows editing or deleting, but please disregard this comment.

A tool, primarily within Linux, that can overwrite disks. I’ve never seen it recommended for data deletion, but I guess it makes sense.

It stands for “disk to disk” and is usually used for things like writing ISOs.

However, shred is the usual approach.

What are “stage in servers”?

I was going to reference that book if you hadn’t. My mom was a big fan of it.

I still recall the kangaroo section, at least in part, and some of the anecdotes that are similar to yours.

Of course, how could I have forgotten!

I suspect it was probably “Phil.”
