For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.

But then you’ll have to go to the slam where you pay some doctor 20 menthol kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs so you can see in the dark.

The earliest Elephind match for “dollars to doughnuts” is from “Nevada Items,” in the Sacramento [California] Daily Union (October 27, 1875):

P. K. Mason, the chap who was arrested at Eureka the other day for stealing a watch and chain from the Antelope lodging house, has been bound over in the sum of $200 to answer before the Grand Jury upon a charge of grand larceny. The evidence against him was conclusive, in regard to taking the watch, but the Sentinel thinks if he states to the jury that he needed it to take medicine by, it’s dollars to doughnuts he will be acquitted.

The sense of the phrase “it’s dollars to doughnuts” here seems to be “it’s very likely.” To judge from Christine Ammer, The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms, second edition (2013), the meaning of the expression has remained essentially unchanged over the ensuing 143 years since its appearance in the Sacramento Daily Union:

dollars to doughnuts, it’s. It’s a virtual certainty, as in It’s dollars to doughnuts that the team will make the playoffs. This metaphoric term pits dollars against doughnuts as in a bet. {Colloquial; late 1800s}

The underlying idea is that you wouldn’t bet something valuable (like dollars) against something very inexpensive (like doughnuts, which presumably were a dime a dozen—if that—at the time) unless you had a very high degree of confidence that you would win the bet.

Seconding Connect for filters, it was early to the game on this. I use keyword filters like ‘elon’ and ‘trump’ as well as instance filters and it’s been great for curating a non rage inducing Lemmy experience.

I haven’t either. Maybe it’s because I don’t use any social media but Lemmy

I’ve worked with POS systems my whole career and I still can’t help think Piece Of Shit whenever I see it

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

The pickle with the chips is a nice touch. I will have to try that sometime

Oh this word might hurt someone, lets skewer it so not only does it bring all the focus to the word itself, but forces people to think about the word specifically and how big of a deal it should be!

Whoever did this really needs a smack upside the head

Thats really interesting. I wonder how much the culture and expectations of norms in corporations makes a difference with this.

Have you worked in several all female crews as well? Its hard to judge when you don’t have a baseline to consider.

This is spot on from my experience as well, you can even see this dynamic play out within individual departments in the same company.

I hear you on the cold part. So many tripped breakers from space heaters… and that one time, a very angry UPS that got plugged into.

Ok i had to do some sleuthing but she was the actress from the original exorcist, that had a projectile vomit scene
