ExplainXKCD is full of holes today. If you know about radio frequencies, please go help filling it in, so the rest of us can get all the jokes.

@CorioPsicologia discupa la pregunta, hecha desde mi argentinidad: qué significa "choto"? En mi barrio significa "mal hecho o de mala calidad".

@mhoye I wonder how all these settings behave in a custom ROM, which I guess is out of the question.

@ryanc @ftg I haven't fully built a computer since ... 2003? more? Got my first laptop in 2007 and never looked back.

All that to ask: are we supposed to figure out voltages now? Can you explain more? Pics?

Asking mostly because one plan I have is to take my old disks and build a yanky NAS.

Suggestion to people taking photographs with their cell phones: if it's not an emergency, you can get better pictures by cleaning your lenses before shooting. Just a couple of circles with your shirt or any soft clothing you are wearing is enough. You don't have to carry a special cloth for this. Takes 1-2s.

SpaceX is still not profitable. I wonder how less profitable it would be if we decided to charge with the clean ups that should be done after these.

@ryanc @fanf so, dnsmasq has a single thread (async?) for dns and dhcp requests, and if dhcp are lagging, they block dns?

@ryanc @dontreportme well, my funputer starts to get disconnections from the WiFi every night and it seems it's related to this.

PSA: Please don't forget your `--fail` option to #curl when developing scripts and cron jobs.

@praetor @grrlscientist I assume they cannot catch yo lying (as in, checking what you voted), so would there be any downside for doing so ("I'm republican! [quietly votes Dem]")? It could even break all the gerrymandering...

@Infoseepage right, 1793 is too far back, good point.

@Infoseepage maybe one of those towns still has one in a depot and can bring it back for tourist money :)

I wonder if there is any decimal clock in a church/town tower deep in #France.

How to read articles in your kindle, even when it's 100% offline. In Portuguese, but just use a translator (or use your background in other Latin languages [3 in my case :] to get the gist :).

@inthehands "Paul CanTeach".

@jeridansky Oh, we're SO going one day!

@jeridansky wow, where is this? I might visit it w/ my kids :)

@usuario that's "if you need anything gimme a shout", and I have seen similar expressions in English, but almost never in work environments :) In Argentina we have a similar one too, "si necesitás algo chiflame", "if you need anything, whistle". "chiflar" in particular can mean a very high pitched and loud whistle, not like when you're whistling a song.

@CorioPsicologia eso sería.. una socca, o fainá?

@eco_amandine @fanta

@greatlaketrout @hellomiakoda @tokodon Are you sure? At least Debian unstable has `tokodon`, but no such file `httpsaccount.protocol` exists in any package in the distro (freshly updated `apt-file` dixit).
