    Hello from another UK dad with too little time and (probably) too much money spent on SC

    Welcome to TEST! The Aquila comes with an URSA, does it not?

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I don't know. Depends what the hell gets thrown at us next, and when. It's not a question of if either. Take a look at this list, paying close attention to the bottom. Most of this will not hurt us here, as long as our health care system stays intact. There are other factors too, weather...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I know the question is real. What we should do is what is becoming a tired old story now. Wear a mask. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands frequently. Oh yeah especially if you live north of 40 degrees, take vitamin D. It's not up to me to say how much, but I take 5,000 IU (or125...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    "Flatten the curve" is ultimately synonymous with "reduce the number of death's" (for the short term), that's why you flatten the curve. It prevents hospitals from becoming overwhelmed if you can slow the infection rate, which also slows the death rate. Variants are normal things with viral...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Don't worry, we have the same kind of dickheads on this side of the pond. In Canada, we tried to fix it by voting the old dickheads out of power, and voting others in - repeatedly. It caused a rebuild of the Conservatives twice, and then the Liberals. But in the end it kind of, well I don't...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    There is a new Coronavirus variant, called CAL.20C. It was detected in the US, in California first - and just to note the names of variants are related to the first place it was detected, not where it originated. It does not appear to be more infectious, but it does account for up to half of...

    Technobabble again. Sorry. Amazon provides the AWS Nitro Hypervisor. I have not done any recent comparisons, all I care about is the product I work with the most works with it without issues. It works with other things too like MS Azure or Google Cloud, but there's frequently pesky tweaks you...

    Advice for new dad

    LOL. It's OK, if he's a good dad, it won't be directed at him so much as Mom. But when it's over, which looks like it'll be a few years yet... he'll be their hero for the rest of their lives. And Mom will become their best friend.

    Advice for new dad

    Just wait... you'll know what I mean in a year if it hasn't started already. It's worse than a CPU crash, and you'll know what I mean when it happens. If you had boys, you'd have a little more time... but they are also bigger and stronger when it happens. That doesn't necessarily end with the...

    It did... the egg has been around for 340 million years, but chickens only 58 thousand years. So the egg came first. But if you rephrase the question to which came first the chicken or the chicken egg... the water gets a little muddy.

    Flashback five years

    It's Arena Commander. Used to be a lot of us played it as much as we played the PTU, which later became the PU. I learned to fly a ship in Arena Commander, and how to avoid blowing up every 90 seconds in a combat situation. Yep I can now last over 2 minutes... sometimes...

    I knew it... My toaster is magic. I just put a couple of slices of bread in the toaster, it gives me toast a few minutes later.

    Introduction.

    What's the difference between a porcupine on the outside of your car, and a lawyer on the inside of your car? In one case the prick's on the inside of your car. BTW I am actually Canadian, from the south of Ottawa. I just live in Texas because my Texan wife is scared of snow, but she's...
