In the flesh.

 

[Lazy Farmer]

OH! i forgot about that, lol, dont think theyd survive up there

Thus the name Turtle Rock. It's not actually a rock, it's a block of ice shaped like a turtle.

How'd you guess?

Turtle Ice Block Farm sounds less balmy, so I went with Turtle Rock.

In the flesh.

Frostbitten flesh.
You keep telling us in one breath how much you like it up there & have no desire to live south of the border, yet in the next breath you're wanting to be rid of the cold in favor of Hawaii. WTH??

I just like complaining about the cold, that's all.

computers all talk in binary
like this:
01101000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111
is saying 'hello'
each button/letter/number has a binary number

I was once an automation engineer and taught robotics combined with automated resistance and projection welding, painting, gluing, sealing and material handling.
All those different machines had to talk to each other as well as the logic controllers managing the systems and PCs.
In addition to binary, some spoke octal, some decimal and some hexadecimal.
Different brands of robots had different proprietary languages. If you were lucky, some used a derivative of C++.
Everything still goes down the wires as 1s and 0s.
Eventually I could convert octal, decimal and hexadecimal in my head. One could say, you would you want to be able to do that?
Octal was used in the early days of automation when memory was expensive so they could do a lot with 16 bits and some of the biggest suppliers still use octal so communication is easier between their legacy platforms and new ones. Some newer platforms use decimal to make things easier for normal humans.

Where does Israeli rain normally come from?

Mediterranean see, we usually gets the fringes of the big European rain systems.

Yes, that I knew. But didn't understand how a pushed key caused the "binary writing mode".

'Bout what I figured. I can't wait for Summer so I can complain about the heat. We normally go straight from Winter to Summer, skipping over Spring altogether.

Summer complaining is real complaining, I-am-gonna-die complaining. In winter it's more just our national pastime without any real meaning.
