If there was a baby boom, does that mean there will be a death boom in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Who'd have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!

It sounds like Guile's special move for when someone's royally pissed him off.

A dude I used to work with left his wife to deal with the newborn.

It was so bad between dayshifts that he used to leave the house at 2am and just sit in a motorway service station with a coffee for a few hours just to get some peace before coming to work.

If I tried that, my other half would stab me in the face.

I mean, very few people would report symptoms of a runny nose or a fever after licking the socket...

Depends on what it was thinking about really. The really rapid clicking noise was generally the mechanical hard drive heads seeking and moving quickly. You could tell if it had been thinking too hard for too long when the mechanical drive sounded like it had sneezed quietly (I'm not joking), that's when you started to back stuff up rather quickly.

The more single-tone longer-note experience was generally reserved for the floppy disks.

The quiet mechanical spin-up noise was often an optical drive spinning the media - usually a CD - up to it's normal reading speed, and you quickly forgot about it.

If it sounded like it was thinking like a early morning bird with a hangover, they were reminiscent of the early 90min tape drives. More industrial drives didn't make that noise thankfully.

The aircraft engine type noise was generally one or more of the case fans giving it some VTEC love to cool a component that was running hot, or if someone smashed the Turbo button.

It certainly ended up at a house party.

I suppose it's not clear when they decided they weren't for each other.

As hilarious and arguably far more entertaining as this is, whatever happened to the age-old "well I've had a good night but maybe we're better suited as friends, time for me to boost, speak to you tomorrow" parting?

Link handling (feddit.uk)

Any chance the way in which links are handled could be amended? I've not seen the Summit design docs but it appears as though when a user clicks a link, a dialog box appears and the app tries to preview the link, before the user can continue onwards.

In this instance, it would appear that the preview call has failed in some fashion, and does not allow the user to proceed with either copying or opening the link - both buttons are unresponsive.

Any chance the previewing can be interrupted with a "Open Anyway" or "Force Open" button, with perhaps a first-time-only warning stating that only trusted links should be blindly opened?

Cheers!

Building Pokémon Blue save games (feddit.uk)

So..

...even though the battery light was a bright red, I saved the game and it crashed. Now the save is predictably in a broken format and can't be read (at least without extra hardware).

I was rather enjoying my 10hr game, just before the SS Anne and grinding my 'karp to a Gyarados, with a recently evolved Sandslash.

I can see that there are save editors for use, but does anyone know if there are save builders - that put you in a particular location at a particular level with progression flags automatically set to your point in the story?

I can't say I'm big in to Pokémon lore - my introduction to the series was with Go - so some of the intricacies are beyond me but I'll faff with editors if I need to and import them into an Android emulator if it comes to that.

Thanks in advance!
