Norway has an app called Vipps, released by the national bank. When first introduced it was primarily aimed towards payment from person to person, linked to phone numbers. But most online vendors accept it as a form of payment too.

I forgot my wallet while at the grocery store the other day, and using what little charm I have I managed to get the cashier to pay for me, and I Vippsed him the money owed.

I think DS9 was pretty developed already by the end of TNG, so once it started there wasn’t that much left to figure out. This can be seen by the TNG crew visiting DS9 towards the end. TNG, however, felt a little more uncertain in the first season in that the actors didn’t have their characters nailed down yet, and it shows.

I suspect that Voyager might be a bit more like TNG in this regard - the concept was a bit more uncertain when they started. However, it does improve massively as it vows on.

I for one really like the temporal war storyline.

…don’t bother listening to it. it’s a parody of a song in a language you (probably) don’t understand, and the parody is even harder to grasp.

Feel free to shove the lyrics through a translator for the wtf-factor, though.

I have someone to play D&D with again. I have four kids, they all have at least one hobby in common with me, plus they’re all into D&D.

This is me commenting with 1h15m to spare. That’s a job well done, if you ask me.

Both.

I mostly work from home, and the schedule is pretty forgiving, plus lunch is the only time I have the house and the kitchen to myself. Today I had lightly dry brined wagyu ribeye/entrecote, and sautéed mushrooms for lunch, paired with a nice beer. Tomorrow it’s going to be Stilton cheese, peach marmalade, and crackers.

When lunch comes around I’ve usually cleared out the inbox sludge for the day, as well as checking up on the stuff for which I am responsible just to make sure everything is working as it should. If it is, then I can take my time to do things properly, as long as I’m available in case someone else’s fan hits my shit.

For starters, the linked document doesn’t support your claims that it’s an actual agenda. Secondly, if it really did, it’s a pretty long leap to conclude that the output of one thinktank is the actual policy of an entire hemisphere.

And here I am, a roll-delay enjoyer. Such a lovely sound.

Is it data you would trust in the hands of random strangers on the internet? If so, I can easily store 50TB for you, as long as it’s temporary.

Oh, and I have various storage solutions in various jurisdictions, so if you have any preferences as to places you do NOT want to store it, that’s something you need to hilight.

100% agreed. I don’t a lot of coding as part of my job, and that is enjoyable because I don’t have to worry about whatever latest programming paradigm “everyone” uses.

My code is meant to just deal with minutia in the background and never be interacted with, and it’s rarely even seen by others than myself. Which is probably good, because my language of choice is perl.

I rolled my own, as I grew frustrated with catbox limitations of filetypes and sizes. It looks like shit, but it works and its purpose is for embedding/linking, so it doesn’t matter.

Mine is more geared towards “publishing” in that users (I don’t want to deal with the headache that is anonymous uploads) have a control panel displaying all their uploaded files and then choose what should be available to the public, and whether it will also be available via bittorrent.

I’ve been meaning to implement a sort of sign-up-via-lemmy feature, in that if you’re a lemmy user without trash reputation, you can use an OTP to upload files associated with your username@instance instead.

It’s not production ready yet, but it works well enough for testing. Most of what I’ve posted/embedded for the past half a year has been from my own host.

I live ~50 meters from a grocery store, so I usually go several times per day.

Exact same backstory here

Mostly WFH with “when I’m needed” as my schedule. Very flexible, and pretty chill. In the morning I usually catch up on my inbox, check that everything is running as it should. Then a few phonecalls. I usually have another hour in the evening to catch up with coworkers in different timezones.
When I’m doing field work it’s usually 10-12 hours days, weekends included.

I got promoted to this position after doing 12 hour shifts offshore, five weeks on, five weeks off, for ages.

In an effort to future-proof the game, they present-faulted it.

I’ve been to Equatorial Guinea quite a few times, and it’s surprising how little one notice the militariatic government.

Except from customs when arriving, come to think of it. Anything that can be considered military in nature gets confiscated. I had one coworker who had a pair of binoculars seized. And another one lost a pair of boxer shorts because they had a camouflage pattern.

Nei. Men bor på Vestlandet, ja. Er dog ifra nordnorge selv.
