Do not like alcohol that much

OP is talking about an esoteric pseudoscience named astral projection.

I don’t know if I want to believe in it or not, but I’ve never heard about missions and closing portals.

Ah thanks I was waiting for someone to put ‘le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain’.

Not sure about the thumb one but for screws with only have:

• Visser : sens des aiguilles d’une montre (clockwise)
• Dévisser : sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre (anti clockwise)

75% of people working shifts around or inside an aircraft are alcoholics. Never before or at work, but days off are a shit show.

We don’t really have dates in my culture. Either we like each other and hookup or we don’t. So when you finally go to the restaurant or whatever, it is with someone you already know and not a total stranger.

But I’m referring to IRL meetups, where you meet people during social events like a party, going to a bar etc (I do that as an introvert that loves being alone, I just don’t go out every night).

I’ve never tried apps like Tinder so maybe the first rendez-vous could be considered a date. I don’t know and don’t plan to discover it.

It’s in French but the lyrics are a cover letter for a job, telling the hard truth about how she is unhappy to apply to an unknown company for a job she doesn’t want to do, only because she needs money.

Hardware related on a Linux home built NAS.

My mobo has 2 nvme ports and supports 10th and 11th gen intel cpu. I have a 10th gen i5 and 2 nvme ssd for cache.

The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.

In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: “Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu”.

FFS 🤦‍♂️

The server is fully built in a hard to fit everything ITX case.

Guess who is having only 128Gb cache instead of disassembling everything ?

AFTN/AMHS expert at an ANSP so definitely yes.

When people understand that it is about air traffic control and say “Oh so you work in the airport tower” you just answer yes.

From the forum in my comment below.

Yup, they used it, only for paratroopers but they had some.

Terrot 500 RGSTA ?

Peugeot 175 D4 ?

From this forum (en français bien sûr). It speak about motorbike since 1950, so that would make sense with Indochine and I think I can recognise some of the models from archive photos. It says that before 1950, French army used a bunch of brands like BMW, Harley, Triumph, Gnome et Rhone and others from 1930 and WWII, but from 1950 and onwards they tried to harmonise the material and the list is on the forum.

Otherwise, your best bet would be searching for CEFEO material (corps expéditionnaire français en Extrême-Orient) as it was the more involved in the war.

There is a book about material used in this war but I don’t know if they wrote anything about motorbikes.

The forum from the first link seems to be a good source of information tho.

Feldup, the French version of scare theater or other channels like that.

If it is really noisy or I need to sleep during the day (working shifts), waves sound from my Ozlo sleepbuds.

My ex wife was going to quit her job. She had the papers printed in her purse, the conversation ongoing in her head. She is the right-hand of the boss, keeping the company afloat and they have a friendly relationship, like knowing each others family around Christmas dinner ect.

Her boss asked her out at lunch to talk outside of the office in a nicer environment. She took the opportunity to give her resignation at the same time but first she had to listen to what her boss wanted to say.

He told her that he’s been very lately diagnosed with throat cancer, too late to do anything about it. Doctors gave him 6 month to live. He then started to cry.

Her resignation papers stayed in her purse that day…

As an atheist I agree, but I don’t think it as anything to do with religion.

It’s all about faith, in the sense of a strong belief in something. Be it a god, aliens, a spaghetti monster or just yourself.

Religion does provide that yes, their daily beliefs become auto suggestions that their subconscious brain accepts, making mental health and life easier.

But anyone can achieve the same outside of religions.

We had to close our sky several times during those last 4 years (meaning no aircrafts allowed above the country). Several times for technical failures, the last one this summer wasn’t our fault but was cool.

I arrived at work for a night shift in the ACC (area control center), heavy rain above the city, I see a small lake forming up against the building underground.

When I reached the elevator, I took off my EarPods and heard a shower like sound coming from the elevator. Eh let’s take the stairs… Curious, I venture to the underground where I’m greeted by a bunch of laughing air traffic controllers and the ACC supervisor for the night. There is something like 40cm of water everywhere, blocking access to the -1 floor and our smoking corner. We joke about doing the “clear the sky” procedure because we can’t use the smoking corner.

A few minutes later we are all back in the ACC, I wasn’t seated yet when the crisis phone rang: We mobilize the board of crisis, reason is the flooding reached some electrical supply rooms, like UPS and batteries rooms.

30 minutes later the AC is down. AC for us humans in the building but mostly for the data center with all the ATC systems needed for our work. Some systems start to overheat and fail.

Less than one hour into my shift, the board of crisis that quickly assembled comes to us in the ops room and says: “We clear the sky, it’s too dangerous”.

For us in air traffic control, clearing the sky is easy, you just tell aircrafts a heading to quickly get the fuck out of our airspace and then you stay in front of an empty radar screen. Capacity management people have a little bit more work to do, announcing Europe and Eurocontrol that our ‘capacity = 0 please don’t send traffic’. It’s the tech people that have a lot of work in those situations, personally I just sat on my ass making jokes and scrolling lemmy.

We ended up switching off all the unused screens, systems etc to avoid heat. Opened all the electronics hatches, all doors, everything we could do to have some fresh air inside as it was getting hot. Airport fire squad quickly came and pumped out the water from the basement. They did that all night until morning.

At the end of my shift at 6, temperature inside the ACC was 29 degrees C (instead of 23) and humidity % unknown but it felt “sticky”. Sky was still closed. Apparently during the day it felt like a sauna.

The tech guys managed to restore some AC only for the data center and the ACC but not the rest of the buildings so it was mandatory work from home for non ops people. When I came back the evening for my second night shift, everything was back to normal for us and it was a sad normal night with no fun events.

It turned out that the flooding reached 40 cm on the -1 floor and 1m40 on the -2 floor. There is a small underground river below that with a pool that is used as natural cold water for AC. That cold pool was filled with hotter (and unclean) rain water, killing the cold production loop.

The day I find a cabinet like that at the local “marché aux puces” I will probably do a paper Zettel as well. It’s beautiful and fulfilling.

Ah oui t’es un jlailu toi aussi, j’avais pas remarqué.

Thanks for your answers, I’ll have a look at the videos. I do love my obsidian Zettel for one useless function: The graph view that looks like a brain with synapses etc 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wow!

I agree with all your bullet points except the last one.

How do you store and search a paper Zettlekasten? How do you update it?

I use obsidian for that and I am not sure a paper version would be economically sane for me. I would need tons of probably expensive small papers and one of those beautiful drawers furniture they used in the 60s.

Congratulations this is impressive.
