We call them pontoon boats in English.

Tactics Ogre?

At first I thought the Shining Force games, but those were Sega only.

With federation, your comment is inherently public domain.

That being said, I am sorry you are unable to find the amusement in a parody of your comment.

Better luck in the future.

What does having been a child have to do with not wanting/caring about children in my adult age?

You’re assuming I like people

I think kids are fine tbh. I wouldn’t want to live with one though.

Cool

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s more a play on the other comment in this thread about dogs. I do, personally, prefer dogs to kids, however I wanted to only s/dog/kid/g for the purpose of the joke.

EDIT: I meant to reply to the parent of this comment

Are you ready for a super unpopular opinion? No holds barred? You asked for it:

Kids suck. I don’t like them. Glad if you do, please enjoy. But they slobber, shed, smell and are generally mostly a nuisance. They can be fun for brief periods, but they’re way more work and hassle than they’re worth. My brother is thinking of getting a kid and I hope he doesn’t because it would make me reluctant to spend a weekend at his place. I can’t believe the number of people who seriously admit to loving their kids more than their dogs. I can’t believe people consider themselves their kid’s “parent”. I can’t believe how forcefully the online community backlashes to the idea of dogs or judgemental of “ill-mannered” and neurodiverse dogs, yet will happily say “it is never a kid’s” fault, no matter how “bad” the kid is.

Thank you for your attention. Future Lemmings will look back at my comment history from unrelated threads and judge me for this, even though I’ve posted in the context of the current thread.

How many copies of The Sims 3 did he have, though?

That’s a 5.25" floppy. Back when they were actually a bit floppy. Before that there was an 8" floppy.

Next to it is the 3.5" floppy that came much later.

5.25" were square, so maybe you’re referring to the VHS that comes after the 3.5" floppy?

Edit: I should continue reading before replying.

Yes

Yeah they’re small whittle groups.

Well that makes more sense. Turns out I’m a big dumdum.

Thanks!

You can definitely tell I didn’t even try to parse the numbers. Since it clearly states the 3yo child in my eyes would have been a 3m tall monster lol

Not saying it isn’t an interesting visual representation but Jesus fucking Christ some consistency in the children height/distance would make for way better comparison.

You might be thinking of the Meese on Isle Royale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolves_and_moose_on_Isle_Royale

…and if not it’s still a fun read.

My bird weather picked one of these up this morning!

I would start by grepping /var/log/zypper.log for aborted or posttrans, seeing where the previous installation failed to run the post transaction hook. Then check the timestamp and see if it makes more sense what happened.

I don’t use opensuse, or zypper, (arch btw) so I’m sorry I can’t give more detailed help.

The good news is I’ve seen multiple broken Ubuntu/Debian/etc systems from aborted upgrades too. So I don’t think your situation is unique to your distro. It’s more about learning what you system is actually doing when you update and how catch when something has gone wrong.
