Asking the real questions
  • Simmer down, Bobby

  • Are groceries good for you? Been eating a lot of groceries lately. Is this healthy?
  • Gotta take them outta the bags first. Learned that one the hard way.

  • Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • "My wallet is stuck! Here, I'll just give you my pants!"

    Or something along those lines

  • How to I make this into a WiFi hotspot without any new hardware or access points?
  • You gotta take it near one of those 5G towers, after holding it up near a tower for an hour or twelve, the resonance from the 5G will activate the wifi capabilities.

  • "Weird Al" Yankovic - It's All About The Pentiums
  • I've honestly used the "What kinda chip you got in there, a dorito?" line IRL. Kills every time.

  • Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks
  • To be fair, under Trump, there will eventually be a ceasefire (once there's no one left to shoot).

  • It happens.
  • ...I got better...

  • My entire life has led up to this moment.
  • It's nice to see spectrum representation in comics

  • Guess the Episode [Easy]
  • What a fine impression of a stupid person!

  • How does "hedging" work in investing?
  • I've never tried it, but I think it's when you invest and your funds are doing well, but you never actually cash out.

  • What are the best e-mail providers out there?
  • As far as I can tell, yes. I signed up for the free tier before paying for the service, and the worst I ever got was a banner here or there advertising their paid service. Proton encrypts all your data with your password, so they literally can't access it even if they wanted to. The only info they have on you are things like when you logged in and your IP address (and I believe they've turned that info over to law enforcement when required, like any legitimate company would have to do), but their servers are in Switzerland where there are better privacy laws.

  • What are the best e-mail providers out there?
  • I've been using Proton Mail for a while, it's been good for me.

  • What is your star wars character of choice?
  • My namesake doesn't last terribly long...

  • Can I install Linux on this?
  • Regular height, but it was on the ISS.

  • EMERGENCY ALERT! ________ INBOUND TO WYOMING. TAKE IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
  • It's the standard answer. I'm proud to say I've been part of many YOURMOMs.

  • What skills should I cultivate do learn to be a sysadmin? (Humanities major)
    1. Learn where the power button is
    2. Buy a rubber duck
    3. Get a spare keyboard (for when you inevitably smash your current one)
    4. Pick a vice to cope with your choices
  • Your favourite Roberto episode
  • Million Dollar Mon.

  • Do I *need* to learn a 3D modeling software?
  • If you happen to have any background with coding, I recommend OpenSCAD. There are a (relatively) limited set of instructions, easy to pick up if you do any other coding.

    You've made it to Hero High.

    You've made it to Hero High, the high school tailored to students with superpowers. Your super strength makes you a target of recruitment for pretty much every sports team, and otherwise garners a lot of attention.

    What everyone else doesn't know is that your strength isn't your superpower--you just work out a lot. You do have a real superpower, but it's something completely different...

    Hero Elementary is a PBS kids' show about elementary school students with superpowers.

    But the most unrealistic thing on the show is the 1-to-4 teacher/student ratio.

    For his birthday, we got my son a bass drum.

    It was a big hit.

    How do you cross crocodile river with only a rubber band?

    Just swim across--the crocodiles are still at the meeting.

    All the animals on the African savanna got together for a meeting

    but they couldn't start because someone was missing. Who was it?

    It was the giraffe. It's still stuck in the fridge.

    Open the door, remove the elephant, put the giraffe in the fridge, then close the door.

    I applied for a job at the sunscreen factory, but I didn't get it.

    It's okay, though. They told me to reapply every few hours.

    How do we feel about epoxy hot dog?

    Good? Remorseful? Personally, I regret not treasuring it more when we had it.

    Photo share by default?

    This might sound antithetical to the privacy-by-default standard, but my wife and I currently share our photo rolls with each other (using Google Photos)--everything we take is automatically shared with the other.

    Is there anything in Proton Drive/Photos that would allow this? Even if it's only available within a family plan or something. I know that with Drive, we could share a directory and everything in that would be available to the other, but I don't see this as an option in the photos.

    Alternatively, I suppose we could both sign in to Proton Drive using a third account just for that purpose, but that's less ideal.
