Don't forget the drive-by Taylor posts where inevitably says, "See what the experts think."

Honestly I’m surprised there isn’t a thread on the knuckleheads forum right now where they’re all trying to convince themselves that gold is just a bubble… for the past 5000 years.

Anyway, Smith, tell me that Rush’s 2112 still has a chance in your plans

Sure, why not. I literally had to Google who they were when you mentioned them.

Look at gold go!

Hahaha my fiance absolutely hates Tim Horton's. She says the coffee is just mud water. I mean, i see her point. With the warmer weather coming we are definitely looking forward to doing some biking around the river valley area of our city. Also, there will definitely be festivals and all kinds of o...

How're everyone's investments going? Swimmingly. Have you figured out some fun new dates? Or, are you guys blasting the opening to Rush 2112 on the way to Tim Hortons for scones, and then a game of curling. Actually, that doesn’t sound so bad. O0 Hahaha my fiance absolutely hates Tim Horton's. She ...

Does anyone have experience with GDevelop? It's a game development platform for indies and small development teams. I was thinking of using it to try my hand at game development. Any opinions?

How're everyone's investments going?

Gold rules, Knuckleheads drool.

Just the usual. Suffering, but no pranks
:-)

Whenever I'm suffering I say prayers to Harry Browne.

Buy some chocolate gold coins then. Much cheaper and taste much better!

Maybe you can ask Jack Jones about Ruby on Rails. He doesn’t seem to talk to be directly these days, but he appears to know a lot of computery stuff. (e.g. gave me tips on emacs).

I've literally never used emacs and now I feel like I should lose my nerd status over that.

My lovely fiance did the following today: handcuffed me to the bed, replaced the filling in the oreos with toothpaste, and replaced the toothpaste in the tube with mayo.

What did you fellows have to suffer through today?

Never have. Someday. I’ll be out of town soon and when I get back, I hope to get back into python. Also want to build a PC this spring — nothing powerful or liquid cooled. O0 Just something with a lot of RAM that will last a while and dual-boot Windows and Linux. https://www.learnenough.com/ Whenev...

Dualstow, have you ever tried Ruby on Rails?

I shudder to think what kinds of candy you’re eating this week.

Ukrainian candies!

Happy Easter everyone!

We are already making tentative plans for another trip in December 2024, but who knows what the country will be like at that point.

I shouldn’t use twitter as a source though it is photographic evidence. London has Ramadan street lighting and no Easter signs whatsover. That’s … weird. X is unparalleled in many ways. It will have instant information on many matters wherein if you do an internet search on them you will find nothi...

^ Excellent ^ How hard was it to get into Ukraine? If you hadn’t yet tied the knot, you couldn’t say you were visiting family. I’m sure there are tons of Canadian passport holders who visit Ukraine every day because of the diaspora population. But, were there a lot of forms? Oh, good question! It h...

I got some of my friends into my little All-Terrain Portfolio creation. One side effect of DIY ETF investing is that they now see all the dividends, interest, and how the money is actually invested. With their previous financial advisor everything was an opaque wall of paper statements and confusing...

There should be more kits than just the Raspberry Pi. And there should be computers for old people.

For sure!

Something very satisfying about tech nostalgia. There's a fairly new video about the Texas Instruments computer (TI-99) as a "failure" on youtube, but I and a lot of other people had a great young adulthood learning BASIC on it. One of the things I miss about the old days was the boatload...

A forum member long ago told me to check out old copies of my favourite magazine as a teenager: Maximum PC. https://books.google.ca/books?id=5gEAAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=maximum+pc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjrw7a6wJeFAxUVEUQIHWaFCbgQ6AF6BAgKEAI#v=onepage&q=maximum%20pc&...
