    Also, that is not my garage. This is:

  • It's called "Hedging your bets", Victor. Also note, I've only seen your garage door from the outside, and it's the same style of door. The voice was the bigger clue, the accent isn't right, and it's tonally all wrong. "You" didn't sound like you, didn't move like you. But he does kinda look like you, circa maybe 2010.
  • Your face still seems very similar to his. There are differences but he could be a stand in for sure. Also request for your version...

    Actually, it's not. That's a segmented metal door. Mine is a solid wooden door.

    Well, I asked 2010 me to hold a picture of that guy up. I still don't see what you guys are seeing.

  • Your current self looks much more like him.

    Welcome to being a racial minority, where your relatives can tell you look nothing like someone, but everyone else thinks you all look the same. E.g. People think I look like Shepard Book simply by virtue of there being barely and light black people on TV.

    This said, while I can pretty reliably destinguish Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Indian and Pakistani are beyond me.

    Actually, the reason I think you can cosplay Shepard book is because I've seen what happens to your hair when you take it out of your bun. Everything else isn't even in the picture.

  • Should I give up on trying to make this Technomancer for shadowrun?
  • Wasn't there a thread about podcasts that people listen to? I did a search, (not the forum search), and came up with bupkis.

    Anyhoo, I'm wondering if there are any good board game podcasts to listen to. Jeremy listens to this one that is over an hour long. I don't think I want anything that long. Something around an hour. Suggestions?
  • I basically don't listen to anything anymore except:

    NPR It's All Politics
    Fast Karate for the Gentleman
    Anime World Order
    Pseudopod
    This American Life
  • I only listen to Geeknights.

    Oh wait. I did a searching only using "podcast" and not "podcasts". I found them.

    Edit: I think I'll check out that Board Games To Go Podcast to see if it's any good.

  • I'll check out that Board Games To Go Podcast to see if it's any good.
    I listened to two episodes of that and think that they are ok.
  • I used to listen to Board Games To Go way way way way back in the day. It's just some nice California board game dude talking.
  • I listen to a couple podcasts rather consistently.

    •Anime World Order
    •Greatest Movie Eve
    •Anime News NetworkCast (ANNCast)
    •Talkin' Toons with Rob Paulsen
    •The Nerdist
    •Method to Madness
    •NPR: Wait, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me
    •NPR Hourly News
    •Meet the Filmmaker
    •Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film Reviews
    •SMoviemakers
    •SModcast
    •Friday Night Party Line

  • --Geeknights
    --AWO
    --ANNCast
    --FNPL

    That's all the strictly speaking podcasts, but I also watch What The Fuck Is Wrong With You? with Nash and Tara as if it's a podcast. The visuals are mostly optional.

    Not out of the box. I does have curl though.

    Are you sure about that? I've got wget on my laptop, and I don't think I installed it.

    Also, if anyone wants to do dev stuff on OSX, I highly recommend Homebrew.
  • I have so much other 3rd party unixey stuff on my Mac that I don't know what came pre-installed and what didn't. Googling indicating that curl is installed, though.
  • Yeah. I know Ubuntu-server doesn't come with wget installed, which freaked me out the first time I used it.
  • You don't really need wget if you have curl.

    This. Although wget does have a nicer interface, IMHO, curl has all the same functionality.

    The only thing wget does that curl does not is automatically brute force recursively spider through a site and download everything it can find. With curl I think you would have to write a script to do this. wget -r
