Python or Perl. IIRC, I've seen systems with a Perl install by default, but not Python.

On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.

It's definitely great in theory until you inherit a codebase with no tests, poor documentation, and numerous reported bugs already live in production. Even better if it was written by people hired because they could do other things better than they could code - which looking at some of the unlabeled wiring messes we were left, isn't saying a lot.

I tried uploading a banner for a community I mod and was met by a JSON parser error message, so that's not happening there until there have been a few more updates.

Did you know that XLR is also something of a standard for interchangeable sex machine attachments?

I'm a big fan of amateur radio, specifically portable operation, and Parks on the Air.

I'll take my radio out to a remote location, throw an antenna up into some trees, and talk to people all over the US.

Currently I need mains power, but I'm looking to buy a battery soon, and I already have some solar panels gifted from a club member.

I live in Michigan, and last time I was out, my most distant contacts were in Dallas, Texas, around 1100 miles away, while I was sitting at a picnic table at my local state park campground.

It reduces the turbulence at the trailing edge, reducing noise. Bernouli's principle dictates that part of the force on the blade is due to the airflow on each side moving at different speeds, if the crashed into each other all at once, you'd get a lot of turbulence, and hence noise. The serrations ensure that the two flows meet over a longer distance, reducing said turbulence.

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler?
