That wiki page is actually pretty amazing. The pigeon transfer even blew away the car in one of the races. And then there is the macabre photo of the dead pigeon with the caption, "an example of packet loss". :lol:

The cold in the computers in the latitudes where I live this summer is vital. A netbook (using Kubuntu 16.04) was at 68 ° C in idle mode. Every time it started, the CPU usage went up to 100%, the fan sounded like a turbine, and it was a thermal disaster. The solution: add --update to /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index, deactivated Akonadi (in my case I do not use it), and put new thermal paste.
Until I realized that there was no ventilation hole in the case (our dear

Congratulations to (the athletes from) Russia for winning the ice hockey final after nail-biting 69 minutes against Germany. In the end, getting a penalty in overtime was what decided the match.

Speaking of birds, today I too learned something of birds. I learned that yes, turkeys can in fact fly. Specifically, they can fly right up to the exact altitude of the windshield on my truck.

Proof:
Wild turkeys have always been able to fly. It's the obese birds raised to satisfy human carnivory that can't.

Like Americans, farm turkeys are fat, dumb, and have no real sense of self preservation. :lol:

Geeze, what that turkey did is what so many drivers do to me every day! Their not wanting to be behind a truck seems to outweigh their desire to not die.
In fact, oddly enough, EXACTLY one year ago today I was in a line of cars driving down a 2 lane country road in snowy weather when a woman decided there was enough room between my truck and the guy in front of me. She sped out from a road on the left hand side (this is farm area so its not like she couldn't see me) got right in front of me, lost traction and spun out so she was facing the opposite way she just pulled out from. We were doing 35 due to the weather and there was MAYBE 6 or so seconds between myself and the guy in front, not exactly a lot of space to stop my truck (enough for slowing or stopping traffic, not stopped traffic suddenly appearing in my lane). I hit my brakes and could feel my tuck losing traction (felt like I was almost about to start jack-knifing) and I could look out my windshield and see her eyes just as wide as can be staring right at me. At that moment the only thing I could think was "Oh god, some one is about to die right here right now." SOMEHOW at the absolute last minute she manage to scoot back across to the other lane and I JUST missed hitting her. It was so close I had to look in my mirror to make sure I didn't hit her with the wide part of my cab. Supposedly my dashcam caught the whole thing, but I was never able to get around to seeing it again. I've got the feeling though, whenever SHE tells the story it always starts with "This stupid truck almost hit me..."

If nobody she knows was there, I imagine she doesn't tell the story at all and keeps quiet about it out of embarrassment.
Then again, it's been a year; if she didn't learn anything from that she might no longer be around to tell any stories at all.
