Well I think the original comic achieves more than the barest effort then. We have the setup (why seatbelt on plane?), the vaguely dark-humoured explanation, the absurdist ‘oh ok that makes sense’ as the punchline (where, y’ know, a lot of the humour is because so many people identify with that ‘i don’t care if the truth is dark I just want to know’ idea). Anyway. Not lazy.

So would you consider it, potentially… lazy?

And you think that’s… High effort?

Most do though

How… How do you think most jokes work?

Oh man, I hear you. Actually I’m a slob, I don’t just have a grinder, it’s one of those all-in-one filter coffee machines. Every morning at 6.30 there’s that grinding noise and a few mins later the smell drifts in. I don’t wanna get up but dang it you’ve made it worth my while, coffee machine, I ain’t mad.

Oh my god I didn’t know it was still up anywhere. I regret not getting a copy of the book way back when but I was a student and had no money. It was a very good comic.

Whatever happened to dailymotion?

Rancher got a lot better very quickly, but I’ve never used podman and have heard mixed things about it… Might give it a whirl at some point, but I’ve been saying that to myself for years

Dunno if it’s decent but I’ve been hosting one service on quay.io since about 2017 and other than that time redhat changed the login system and I had to fart about for a few mins, I’ve never had any issues… Tbh though I probably only update that image about twice a year so I’m not exactly power-user-ing it

Made light of someone else’s cluster headaches in a past life

Software is really hard. Replacing something that needs to continuously have new features added to it because it’s not been replaced yet… You’re running to stand still
