[01:29] DaemonFC Someone used duplicolor or something on the fenders on parts where it was some stone chips, large ones, and they weren't particularly careful to VIN match the paint first. If you're going to do touch ups, it should at least look as close as possible.

[01:31] DaemonFC They gave me such a sizable insurance discount for multi-car that it hardly costs anything to leave the Impala around.

[01:35] matey they should bring you their car to look at [01:35] DaemonFC But since it _can_ hold so much I just told the Chevy dealer when they were flushing the Buick to fill the tank about 8 inches above cold.

Eventually, his terminal emulator was able to launch BASH. (Yes, BASH is that old.) Linus called it his "gnu-emacs of terminal emulation programs" [19:06] matey It's fall, 1991. [19:06] matey Linus now considers shelving his terminal emulator. He's reasonably happy with it, and it does what he needs it to do. [19:06] matey In other words: Linus became bored with a project he was working on. Boy, do I recognize that feeling. [19:06] matey I probably would have stopped by the end of 1991. I had done a lot of things I thought were interesting. Everything didnt really work perfectly, but in a software kind of world I find that once you solve the fundamental problems of a project, its easy to lose interest. And thats what was happening to me. Trying to debug software is not very engaging. [19:07] matey Back then, I was booting into Linux but used Minix as the main development environment. Most of what I was doing under Linux was reading email and news from the universitys computer via the terminal emulator I had written. The university computer was constantly busy, so I had written a program that auto-dialed into it. But in December, I mistakenly auto-dialed my hard disk instead of my modem. [19:07] matey wrong number [19:07] matey I was trying to auto-dial /dev/tty1 [...]. But by mistake I auto-dialed /dev/hda1, which is the hard disk device. The end result was that I inadvertently overwrote some of the most critical parts of the partition where I had Minix. [19:07] matey so linux exists because linus literally dialed the wrong device [19:07] matey That was the point where I had a decision to make: I could reinstall Minix, or I could bite the bullet and acknowledge that Linux was good enough that I didnt need Minix. I would write the programs to compile Linux, under itself, and whenever I felt I needed Minix, I would just add the desired feature to Linux.

[22:39] DaemonFC So I'm pretty sure most landlords don't run into them that often. [22:39] DaemonFC I've never seen anything in a lease that says you aren't allowed to have one, and if something isn't prohibited, it's allowed, in my opinion. Asking if you can do it at that point is just a liability because it gives them the opportunity to consider it, say no, and prohibit it expressly in the next lease. [22:40] DaemonFC I'm kind of a "the letter of the law" kind of a person where I might try to bend the rules a little unless it's pretty clear that what I'm doing isn't okay and there's no way to explain my way out of it later if I get caught. [22:41] DaemonFC It's interesting, because what "income" means for benefits, taxation, and loan applications varies considerably. [22:42] DaemonFC If you're trying to qualify for something that requires a lot of income, read it and if it doesn't specify gross or net income, use gross. If it lets you consider your spouse's income, or even a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend, do that. [22:44] DaemonFC If it's a benefit and it wants to know what your income is, read the regulations and see if you can use net income, because that will be less, or see if it specifies that you can use paycheck stubs or the Adjusted Gross Income from last year's taxes. The AGI line on last year's taxes almost certainly is less because you tend to get a raise in the beginning of the year and if you submit paystubs, they may try to use gross income. And it's [22:44] DaemonFC possible you got more hours this past month than you normally do, but last year it all averages out automatically if you use the AGI. [22:45] DaemonFC So for the Affordable Connectivity Program, I used our last year's tax return, but for the Green Card interview, I used paystubs and calculated gross income for a 12 month period based on those, because it was a lot more. [22:46] DaemonFC So in some cases, your "total household income" can vary by $16,000 or so depending on how you calculate it, and it can either qualify or disqualify you for what you are applying for. [22:50] DaemonFC It's enough to raise an eyebrow when you're applying for an apartment or something and you have to explain why you've averaged out the monthly income because "biweekly" means that sometimes there is a third paycheck. It's scary that people who are employed looking over millions of dollars in properties don't just grasp what that is. [22:51] DaemonFC Locker-be [22:52] DaemonFC It's nice to know that we spend what we do on the TSA and the only reason Richard Reid wasn't successful is because he stepped in a mud puddle and couldn't get the fuse on his shoe to light.
