I only know of the version I’ve heard on Audible, and that’s the Sound Booth Theater one (autocorrect butchered the studio name in my comment. Fixed)

Your list of audio books is very similar to how I started. I stumbled across a torrent with a bunch of Hugo winners, and those were included.

Some recommendations off the top of my head:

• Project Hail Mary (Weir).
• Snow Crash. (Stephenson).
• Cryptonomicon (Stephenson. Not sci-fi, but I highly recommend it anyway).
• The End of Eternity (Asimov. His only time travel book).

And of more recent date, the “Dungeon Crawler Carl” series as released by sound booth Theater is pretty much the gold standard in Audio book production. Seems pretty shallow at first, but the sci-fi element becomes more and more prevalent with time, and it weaves a pretty interesting story. On top of being hilarious. I cannot recommend this series enough.

In addition to those, Discworld makes for some great audio books as well.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I remembered the right movie.

I now challenge anyone who haven’t seen it to deduce the rest of the plot, based only on my description.

Is that the movie about (sorry for the bad synopsis) Where the guy vacuums his work desk because he wants to go to space?

Your mom likes me anyway

Disclaimer: I’m neither a tigerologist or a wolfonomer, and I’m generally basing this on guesswork.

For starters tigers are huge. But wolves are pretty huge too, larger than most people think. I believe they are only slightly smaller than Tigers (at least the tigers I saw as a kid in a Danish zoo).

And I imagine a tiger would have a hard time defending against multiple simultaneous attackers, something I believe wolves like to do, being pack animals.

So my guess is 2 wolves could take down a tiger. Maybe 3.

Another aspect of this that I’ve found is that engaging in benevolent smalltalk with someone here on Lemmy somehow sometimes results in them treating it as an argument.

No, I will not concede to whatever point you’re trying to make; I was making conversation, you were trying to win an argument. I don’t care if you’re convinced your particular approach to a particular problem is better than mine.

And if they then don’t realize that I’m not interested in engaging, and keep the “debate me bro” attitude, they usually end up on my blocklist, or at the very least they end up with a red tag behind their name.

First Season, to be specific

Season 1

Local: They’re alright, just a bit daft. Due to budget constraints they’re doing the municipality equivalent of spending a fortune over time keeping an old clunkers alive instead of just buying a new car.
Parliament: They’re alright, just a bit boring. And that’s a good thing.

Just to confirm the gist of what the admins have been saying in here, they don’t really care about your address or even the fact that you’re registered with your daily one.

Source: My account has an obviously bogus e-mail address associated with it. (I don’t remember what exactly). By applying what little charm I have, I still have a valid SJW account.

Sure, I won’t be able to do password recovery via email and other QoL stuff, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

“Traveler better came”…
Now, that’s dedication to customer comfort

Script kiddies of the world, unite!

Here’s hoping for Drake and Bieber being among those 20%.

Do you remember a white Canadian reggae artist called Snow, best known for “Informer”, in the early 90s? He pretty much disappeared from the music scene after he stayed in Canada.

That just sounds like a fucked up personality, irrelevant of alignment

Nat: LE or NE.
Cat: TN or CN, probably

Nah, this was ages ago. I don’t remember the exact encryption strength, but it was pretty low, even by yesteryear standards. This was a remnant from when cryptography was ruled by whichever government could find the biggest autistic savant.

Tuna is slang for Fentanyl, right? Right??

Not just PGP, but any encryption strength above a certain level was considered “munitions” from a legal standpoint. Because of this, finding a windows Ssh client was a PITA for quite a while.

I knew how to operate a hunting rifle by the time I was 12, and I’m not even American.

And if you can operate a hunting rifle, you can operate an assault rifle to a reasonable degree. Not much training needed.

And the principle is easy to figure out. When I was in the army, while I was a recruit, this guy in my platoon had never touched a weapon before, and he was pretty nervous the first day on the shooting range because he was on a different training course the day we got introduced to the basics. But he figured it out by intuition; get the cartridge into the chamber, and get the hammer to hit the firing pin.

There are only so many mechanical things one can do with a rifle, and if you try a few things you’re likely to figure it out.
