Ebbin my neezerinstall until it scrooges
No, Gentoo is alive! I can catch up to upstream Firefox's LTO+Clang+PGO optimizations and use my own version of Debian alternatives and save 3MB by removing iso9660 support from REFind!
It seems pretty alive to me though. 5/25 of the month-top-posts in r/unixporn have it in the title, and I'm sure more are present in the comments. And a lot of YT videos on it still mention it.
The old thread about it covers both sides of the coin.
Basically, "ricing" insulted weird Asian car customizations -> "ricing" became a more generic "weird" customization term (this is the most famous transitive example I can think of) -> ricing's origin was forgotten by a decent amount of people. (I mentioned it in the first spoilered text)
But I'd like to keep the focus on yoloing a term out of nowhere :D
When I was younger I memorized this in three (3) steps to use at zero (0) family gatherings... is it cheating if my stupidest joke is the only one I can recall instantly? :]
Warning: this joke is so ancient, it's sepia-toned.
An engineer and a doctor were arguing about who had the harder job. To prove his might, the engineer decided to open a clinic, betting he'd be a successful doctor:
"If we can cure you, you pay $500; if we can't, we pay you $1,000."
Of course the doctor saw the proverbial button immediately. The guy didn't even have a license! So the doc went straight to the clinic as his first patient.
Doc: "Sir, I have lost my sense of taste."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doc: "Blawrgh! This is gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
The doctor leaves, fuming. But not to be beaten, he goes back after a few days -- he can still leave with a profit if he plays this right.
Doc: "Sir, I have lost my memory."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doc: "What, no! That's gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
The doctor leaves pissed. Buuut, doc comes back after a few days
he needs to at least break even, right? So, more determined than before, he brings a cane and says:
Doc: "Sir, I've gone blind."
Engineer: disappointed "Well, unfortunately I don't have any medicine for that. Take this $1,000."
Doc: "But this is $500..."
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your vision back! That will be $500."
I dotted up my dwm install?
Its kind of verbable :p
