“It would be a good value if the value was good, but it isn’t.”

In the US, a conductor is the one who checks tickets, makes announcements, and delegates tasks to the crew to help ensure things keep moving on time.

The locomotive engineer is the one who is “driving” the train. They run the engine and communicate with dispatch and traffic control to keep them informed where this particular train is fitting into the overall juggling act,. They also make every effort to keep things safe (watching for signals, obstructions, etc.).

I’m not 100% sure if the terminology is different outside of the Us.

I bet people love working with you…

Thank you for providing a starting point! Jumping into a long-running show can be daunting. I’m going to check this one out.

Bingo. Why did I begin to stink when I hit puberty even though I showered twice daily and lived in a temperate climate? This person makes it sound like no one would stink if they simply never start using deodorant, when the reality is that people start using deodorant because they realize that they stink without it. For centuries, people around the world have used perfumes to cover their BO before (and after) deodorant became available. Why would they need this if they simply don’t use deodorant?

I also know a woman who swears that you never actually need to wash your hair. Your head will stop producing as much oil and you’ll naturally have beautiful hair. She is a lovely, smart, confident, and attractive woman, but her hair is greasy and stringy AF.

Don’t talk about Usenet.

and…

Don’t — talk — about — Usenet!

Guys… you’re all breaking the first two rules of Usenet…

I can’t think of any problems I’ve faced in over 3 years. I have an app on my phone that I can use to temporarily disable my Pi-hole if I need to do some testing, but I don’t know if I’ve ever had a situation where the Pi-hole was the source of a problem. Definitely not a maintenance headache. I run an update on it every now and then, but only because I see a notification that there is one, not because there’s something going wrong.

This is the answer I would go with. I’ve used this utility for many many years, and for dozens of different needs. It’s a great Swiss-army-knife for renaming needs.

Sure, but I don’t imagine that would be the file extension, it would just be in the filename (the part before the extension).

I’m curious, for what reason would one need/want to do this?

When looking at the series page, if you expand the seasons down to list the contained episodes, are all of the episodes there (even if not in the “correct” season)? Or are several seasons worth of episodes just not listed at all? Which show?

Thanks for letting us know!

It’s my own fault, and the result of 30+ years of muscle memory building up. Plus, while I agree cmd isn’t nearly as powerful as powershell or wsl can be, when I’m in Windows it’s still the fastest way for me to do 90% of the simple things I need to do. I have a long history with it, and a thorough understanding of it, so I don’t really need to think for most of the things I’m doing there.

If I need to script something, or do anything that seems like it would be annoying to do in CMD, I hop into WSL pretty quickly and get to work with bash or python. The problem I have now is that I’ve developed a little muscle memory there as well… hence my issue with entering ‘ls’ everywhere.

That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?

That is a fair statement, but also a different topic.

I am thankful to live in an age with WSL.

As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.

Powershell is a different story.

You’ll sometimes hear IT people use “Layer 8 problem” which is a reference to the OSI networking model. The model has 7 layers. It starts at layer-1, the physical layer (the literal wires that the signals flow through), and ends with layer-7, the application later (things like http, ftp, etc.).

“Layer-8” isn’t technically part of the OSI model, but unofficially it refers to the human layer, or the user. When IT people are troubleshooting an issue, trying to identify where in the model the issue is happening, “layer-8” is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “there isn’t an actual problem… the person is the problem”.

Another good one is the “ID10T” error (read as “I-D-ten-T”), which looks a lot like “IDIOT” when written down. It means the same thing.

Exactly. Layer 8 problem.

God damn. Hoisted by my own petard!
