Why not open up a Docker container when opening up an email program, isolate it from the host OS, and then doing away with the container when done?

I fancy a tandoori chicken masala with a peshwari naan, a tandoori mixed grill, pilau rice and meat samosas with mint sauce, but I'm fasting. I started 4 hours and 10 minutes ago.

Visualize roadkill to have your fasting go more smoothly.

I'd say Kramer's idea of getting an (unpaid) intern to do things for him isn't so bad.

Isn't the name ' Noel' ( No L) self-contradictory?

Isn't the name ' Noel' ( No L) self-contradictory?

It means Christmas in French (Noël)

Why did I get an Asian language string in my search history?

But Noel has an L.

 

[BillTre]

But Noel has an L.

But neither Christmas nor French do!

Also consider nor; no "R".

Last night I was dining with strangers and the discussion was a lot about personal growth, knowing oneself, and such. It then took a sudden turn towards astrology and numerology. You know "What's your number? Just add the ones from your birthday and find out who you are." There were some strong believers. Then you have people sort of agreeing with them (Are they just being polite?) and you just don't know how to get into that discussion without insulting everybody.

But I just thought of something.

With the decimal system, "your number" basically always ends up being between 1 and 9. (They apparently introduce complications with "master numbers" )

What if I suggested using the binary system instead? Reducing any number by summing up its constituents will always lead to 1! Wouldn't it be great to all be unified by numerology? We are all number 1!

I'm a Gemini, and we Gemini don't believe in Astrology.

I sometimes through such exchanges with bizarre questions that throw people of: " Cardi B, or Car Db? Is it a database of used cars? " or " Didn't cuba just invade Argentina?" Sometimes I just do it , though unintentionally.

At nearly 103 years old, World War II veteran Joe Schott said he believes he has a lot of service ahead of him.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/fanwood-wwii-veteran-103-shares-100142949.html

Schott remembers back to 1942, only a year or two after he finished high school. He was working with Western Electric in Kearny at the time, testing sound-powered telephones and other equipment to be used on Navy ships.

"Western Electric kept telling me that due to the nature of my work, I would be deferred from the draft. I'd be more valuable working at Western on the things I did. I would transfer that information to the man at the draft board, and I remember him saying to me, 'Don't believe them. You will go in!'

"So, sure enough I did get word that I would be drafted [into the Army]. I was just about to be. So on a Sunday morning I went to the Navy recruiting office station at the post office in Newark. They were open seven days a week. I remember going there, and I sat down at the desk. There was a man, and I showed him the letter I got about the draft, and I said, 'I'd rather go in the Navy.' And I remember he looked up at me and he said these words: He said, 'You're in the Navy now.'"

Well done, sir!

Doing research on a vacation and saw a popular tourist area on Google Street View that was eerily empty with all of the stores closed. Then I looked at the image date and saw that it was June 2020 during the pandemic. Seems so long ago sometimes.

I've done searches for movies, just to get results from movies that had played years prior. Just who would be interested in any such thing? I've essentially given up google for ChatGpt. I guess SEO's don't help either.

When we bought our house its garage door was dark blue and in some disrepair, with one of the panels actually half out of place. We replaced the whole door with a white one fairly quickly after we moved in.

The garage looks along our road. When Street View next updated the photos must have failed at one spot or something, because for a while if you moved the viewpoint along our road you saw our shiny white garage door on a sunny day suddenly change into the old blue broken down door on a dark grey day, then flip back to white and sunny. It's updated again since, but it was surprisingly creepy while it lasted.

I had a similar thing with the regular map view. I always parked a red SUV that I used to have in the garage. There was a single day once where I was working in the garage and parked it across the street. That was on the map for a few years until it updated.

Wonder if google maps bleeps out security details from its maps.

There are places where you go to see things new and places where you go to see things still just as before.

I like a cold pint of Guinness. It's apparently good with a drop of blackcurrant cordial.

I borrowed my friend's boots, walked around a mile in them. I still don't understand him any better than before.

You should have opted for his boat instead.
Dunno if that helps with understanding, but more fun anyway.

" Rowing for a mile in his boot". Ok, I'm up for an update of the original.

I'm thinking about what sauce goes with fried chicken wings. I think tomorrow I'm going to buy mango puree and mix it with hot sauce.

Phil Collins on "I can't Dance" sounds more like Bon Scott era AC/DC than Bon Scott era AC/DC does.

He/Genesis had songs had what I thought were 180 from each other, seemed to be from different bands. Specifically, intense "ABACAB"vs sugary " You can't hurry love"

Perhaps you forgot about the conversion to metric system with SI units. Now you only need to walk a kilometer in his boots lest you learn too much about your friend.

Unless they are seven league boots or bottes de sept lieues in French.

I'll need a new keyboard. Again.
This time preferably with a reinforced CTRL key.

My wife and I are planning trip to Paris and yesterday morning, I found this drawing on my banana set out for work.

After I ate it, I cut out the drawing and carefully set it out to dry on my desk at work. This morning, it was missing. The best that I can figure is that the cleaning crew came through to dust and decided to throw it away. I know that it probably wouldn't have survived well but it meant a lot to me. Not a good way to start my morning.

Well you got the picture. The banana skin would probably have turned black.

Heard this story 2nd hand about this guy in the US in the 1960s who tried to avoid the draft for health reasons, so he put Apple Cider vinegar in a glass of water and drank it daily. The plan backfired, and he looked extremely healthy , almost glowing, and the medical interview didn't dismiss him.

Maybe he can enter through the blackhole found by the JWST and go from one date to another.
