@coliver I was about to order some online, does it really taste nothing like whipped cream with peanut butter cups?

Take your finger or a pen and wave it under the light source.
If you see more than one finger/pen then it's flickering.

I can wave my finger in front of my face outside in daylight and see that.

Nope, you can't. You need a stroboscopic light source for that. And the sun ain't that.

If you can see individual fingers it's because the light is going on and off and on and off etc. If you try under the sun you will just see one blurry finger.

Unless someone is getting a headache from the things, who cares?

I am, so I care. Some people (most?) don't notice.

It was the same with CRTs. Some people could work fine with 60 Hz refresh rate. I though it was freaking horrible.
With LCDs it's the backlight that might be a problem on some monitors. Not so much anymore though.

I'm in the group with you. I can see the flicker at 60Hz and it is horrible. Most people can't see it and think it isn't there. I can hear lots of electronics that other people can't hear either. I often walk into a room and wonder why everyone has left on electrical equipment that I can hear the instant I am there, but no one else can tell is powered on.

I also have this 6th or perhaps 7th sense

Sick as hell and barely able to work, but able to still complain on the internet with many typos

@scottalanmiller They never met my father obviously.

And I bring the thread down, oooooh

@mlnews Something similar happened to me once, I was trying to do some plumbing and a pipe I had cut was still stuck in, so I was kicking it to dislodge it (it was an old iron pipe, so super rusted and stuck to concrete) and as I was doing this the cat freaked out and climbed my leg and kept scratching and attacking me. She never did this before or since. And after I flung her off, she came back and kept trying to get me. I've lived through wars and stuff and yet I was terrified. I can't believe I'm admitting that.

@mlnews Before I read the text I also read "Salsa", the question is I think: is Salsa a good grade or a bad one? Also is the fact it is in red ink indicative of it being hot salsa? Perhaps there's a correlation there because orange/yellow salsa was not used?

@mlnews That's also how he programs printers

@scottalanmiller said in FreePBX Error /var/spool/asterisk/cache is not writeable:

These commands assume that you are logged in as root. If you are not, be sure to prepend with sudo.

Or use root like a man, it'll put hair on your chest, even if you're a woman... so watch out I guess.

@hobbit666 How dare you sir! He was a prince! The prince of Nigeria!

@JaredBusch If I've learned anything from cartoons, you should be able to roll it up like a newspaper, or fold it into a small square and place it in your pocket, only to have it fully expand and make your pants huge.

Pepsi.

Not that there is anything with adults playing dress up, to each their own. Just don't pretend it is something that it is not. If you are going to play dress up for fun, own it.

Well, I don't know, I barely get dressed to live normal life, I don't want to do a bunch of other stuff and have to pretend at the same time.

being Shakespeare's 1000 monkeys.

I've never heard of that before.

OK it was a horrible take on the phrase - give enough time to 1000 monkeys and they'll make the works of Shakespeare.

I've literally never heard of the infinite monkey theorem

How is this even possible.

Well I also hadn't heard of furries and larking until I've seen them in movies.

So I guess I'm weird?

Larking or LARPing?

Yeah that stupid thing. LARPing Larking whatever it's call.

I don't actually know what larking is - LARPing - Live Action Role Playing, that I know.

Live Action Role Killing, it's a very contact-heavy form of role playing
