What’s the phone number of the chicken farm? 4444719

Explanation: Cot cot cot cot c’est un oeuf!

(cot being the French onomatopoeia for a chicken’s “cluck”)

You might want to reconsider the first part. While you don’t want parm to be the primary cheese, a little parm added to homemade Mac and cheese really steps it up.

This reminds me of the first time I saw Wall-E.

There isn’t any real dialog until later in the movie, but at one point (fairly early, I think?) it showed a newspaper.

The headline was in French.

You’d think that this would have tipped me off that maybe I downloaded the wrong version from the net. But no.

My wife and I had recently been watching a bunch of indie (and sometimes foreign) films at the local art house theatre. So it was totally plausible to me that it was an artistic choice to have the paper in French. Some comment on the future of society, or something.

And that’s what I continued to believe until much later in the movie when there was full-on dialog in French (with no subtitles) and it finally dawned on me.

Oops.

About the time they got rid of the hard plastic cashew jars and switched to the bags, they also started selling a (more expensive) glass jar of cashews.

So for me, it does cut down on the plastic, since now I just refill the glass jar with the bagged cashews, rather than needing to buy (and dispose of) the plastic jar every time.

I might feel differently if I was actually reusing the plastic jars for something but I really wasn’t (not after the first few, anyway).

My toes, Sis.

If you don’t have an Intel CPU, then you shouldn’t need it. At least, I think it’s only for CPUs and not for other intel-based devices (NIC, graphics, whatever).

It’s prompting for upgrade because it’s already installed. It’s recommended (but not required) by initramfs-tools, so that’s probably why it’s installed (recommended packages are installed by default). oops, read that wrong. Intel-microcode recommends initramfs-tools.

You may want to run

apt-rdepends intel-microcode 

to see what pulled it in.

But you should be able to uninstall it, and then it won’t prompt you any more.

This is what happens Larry, when you find a stranger in the alps.

That was a hoot!

This pic made me smile.

I haven’t been to DebConf since before COVID, but I definitely recognize a few people in that pic.

There was a series of TV commercials in the 70s for a laundry detergent that focused on “ring around the collar”. So I suspect it’s a spoof of one of those.

You’re obviously not a golfer.
