Forgive me, for today I have been doing 'npm install' and 'pip install' as root on a production system.

Forgive me, for today I have been doing 'npm install' and 'pip install' as root on a production system. Barely one step removed from 'curl|sudo bash'.

I feel so ... dirty.

    At least they are package managers. It's not like you were piping through gzip and tar.

Non alcoholic cocktails #3

A twofer this time. Part 1: Beetle Bailey Cream 6 parts single (whipping) cream 2 parts Lyres American Malt 1/2 part thin Chocolate syrup (e.g. Monin, or the now discontinued Alchemy Divine) Combine and stir to mix. I am reliably informed that it tastes at least as good as a certain named Irish Cream. Serve as-is or... Part 2: YB35 (because it is 2/3 of a B52) 15 ml Lyres Coffee Liqueur 15 ml  Beetle Bailey Cream Pour the Coffee Liqueur into a shot glass or shot martini glass. Gently spoon the Beetle Bailey cream on top so that it forms a distinct layer. The result is rich, slightly sweet, and full of the caramel malt coffee you would hope for in such a drink. As I did not have any orange-based not-spirits to hand, this is where I stopped, hence the YB35. If you were to add a third layer of such, I would then call it a Valkyrie (the XB-70).

You're only going to get a couple of political things from me ahead of the senate re-run.

You're only going to get a couple of political things from me ahead of the senate re-run. This extraordinary speech (and attendant meme)  is one of them.  The other will be if belowtheline come on-line again. Remember: You can only waste your vote by voting informal. @SenatorLudlam#transparency   #accountability   #australianpolitics   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtqrfiEV8Gs
