(In Finland driver's licenses are divided into categories which allow you to drive different types of vehicles. The most common license is a class B license which basically allows you to drive normal civilian cars, most types of lorries etc, with limitations on weight, number of wheels, passenger/cargo capacity etc but there are many other classes as well. It can be a bit confusing.)

Should I do that? Normally I'd agree with you but the images I post are extremely vertical and much more difficult to ignore if I don't tag them.
I personally just skip Dharma so take my input for what it's worth (sorry, you're doing a good job of it, I'm just not into it), but expanding timg images pretty frequently fails to work for me. Probably my browser or some extension, I can just right click and open images in a new tab so it's not a huge hassle, but given that I personally like it better when people just post normally.

E: As an aside, of course there'll be some Pyton during the new year as well. When I get around to it.

I had to look this up: the first use of the word "Sith" was in the novelization of the first movie, so it's been around a while. Episode 1 is the first time it was mentioned in current canon.

I love the onion storyline so much, it might be my favorite C&H bit.


The worst IL strips (and all strips, really) are the ones where there's actually something like a joke hidden in there. The Red Lobster line is actually pretty funny, but it's buried in the hack writing and the belief that there needs to be a second punchline after the punchline.

The inauguration of Woodrow Wilson was held on March 4th, with the Women's Suffrage Parade going on the day before. Of course, there's a story behind that last one.

Someone writing for a better White House than the one we have right now posted:

The organizers of the parade also maximized attention on the event by strategically hosting it just one day before the inauguration of President-elect Woodrow Wilson. This tactic worked. As the women marched from the U.S. Capitol toward the Treasury Building, they were met by thousands of spectators, many in town for the inauguration.

Not all spectators were kind. Some marchers were jostled, tripped, and violently attacked, while police on the parade route did little to help. By the end of the day, over 100 women had to be hospitalized for injuries. However, the women did not give up; they finished the parade. Their experiences led to major news stories and even congressional hearings. Historians later credited the 1913 parade for giving the suffrage movement a new wave of inspiration and purpose.

While it wasn't going to be as apocalyptic as the media made it out to be, theY2K thing WAS an actual, and big, problem for a poo poo load of systems that were running critical infrastructure.
People spent a poo poo load of time and effort FIXING the bug BEFORE it was a problem.

There's been a dangerous trend in recent years to try to retcon the Y2K bug as "fake news" (google those two terms for examples), presumably so that we can feel better about ignoring any approaching problems rather than dealing with them before they explode. Fortunately there's a large contingent of aging computer nerds who spent years doing the actual work of fixing the problem in time, who are being very vocal about pushing back on this kind of nonsense. But it's anyone's guess whether that message is reaching the people who need to hear it, in this age of the Internet echo chamber.

During Great Reduction (1680) the Swedish Crown revoked large amount of lands from the nobility. Saved the economy (the nobleman didn't have to pay taxes for those lands), but made lots of people angry.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelia
Per Brahe was the governor-general of Finland 1637-40 and 1648-54. He founded ten cities, the first university and supported Finnish language. He's one of the most notable names in the Finnish history before the 19th century.

Amusingly it isn't mentioned here, but Brahe was also one of the Sweden's richest men and the leader of the regency government, so perhaps the biggest oligarch of them all.

"Internet of Things" is the term used to describe "smart" appliances and outlet plugs and the like; household objects that can be controlled via the internet.

(The security of IoT devices is pretty poor and a very complex issue, so get ready for Galaxy Brain Holbrook to deliver a hell of a treatise on the topic)

I see, thanks for the explanation. If this were Safe Havens, then I'd assume Holbrook would use Internet DNA to solve the issue, so I'm bracing myself for something even more stupid.

Der Shovel posted:

1. You don’t defend a master’s thesis.
2. That’s 100% not how a doctoral dissertation defense works.
3. gently caress you holbrook

Like what the gently caress type of master's thesis is this supposed to be where you invite your "defense committee" over to see you securing a bunch of IoT devices at your own home? Your loving thesis/dissertation is supposed to be an independent academic work another academic can pick up and understand your thesis and its arguments based on the merits of that work, not having to pop round to yours to see you secure your IoT fridge and blender.

4b. gently caress YOU HOLBROOK

Der Shovel, I just want to say that I appreciate you tearing down all the ways Holbrook makes up completely inaccurate bullshit like what being a department head is about or his idea of a thesis defense taking place at home.


I can see Bets being popular, but why would anyone ever want to be fans of a milquetoast loser like Gunther?

Also I just noticed that in yesterday's strip, Deku from My Hero Academia was in panel one and that somehow pisses me off more than it should.


This whole "Waaaah, I'm growing older!" feels completely contrived to keep Zak and Iris apart. Zak entered in a relationship with Iris knowing full well that she's older than him, so it's not like he's going to care or hasn't expected it.
