No no no, that it’s the other officers (Tony, Ziva, McGee especially) being awkward and clueless around a mimeograph or such stuff, whereas Gibbs actually looks and acts technologically competent (for the time).

Oooh you should watch the blackout episode, when there’s a blackout all over WDC and Gibbs pulls up all those manual machines from the 70’s.

Just as cringe, just the oooooother way around.

Sure, why not.

Gibbs: [silent stare]

(translated: “what’s that? I can’t hear you over how my silver hair rewrites reality”)

Gibbs 6 seasons later: [stops ransomware by shoooting at the screen. In a datacenter.]

I mean I understand the reasoning behind the problem with “x is mainline”: distros.

Most software at the utility level rsync sits at, reaches final users (the ones who complain) not by direct download, but by being aggregated by distros. And unfortunately even highly respected distros like Debian have decided to accept AI in rsync even with the resulting data loss.

I was warned beforehand enough that I pinned rsync in 3.4.1 while it still was in my system, and it will remain so for the short term while I wait for this whole thing to settle down amicably.

I can live without Booleans I think… what saddens me more than nothing else is the lack of more proper treatment for Decimal-like types.

These cases always, always make me laugh.

Because avoiding them is quite simple.
