Norwegian train car designation shorthand (incomplete).

B: Class B (which is the only class these days. So, meaning passenger seats)
M: Motorized (implies S. See below)
S: Steering capability
L: cargo space (“Lasterom”)
C: Special capability of some sort, such as wheelchair ramp.
MU: Motorized car without driver capability (As in M without S)
P: Car with a pantagraph
R: Restaurant/bistro

So, for example, type 92 is a small set consisting of only two cars: A BM and a BS. Both cars have seating, the train can be controlled from both ends, but only one of them has a motor.

T93 is similar. In layout.

T74 and T75 is a five-car train, and I don’t remember them all, but I remember the middle of them is called BCMU or something like that.

The older T3 trains (now retired, I think), has a car designated LCR (or a different order), which means cargo space, food service, and some sort of special amenities that I never figured out. This train type also had class A with seating of a higher comfort level.

All of these types are printed on the side, usually next to a number, which is an internal serial number. So a 9214BM* means “Type 92, number 14, motor carriage (with passenger seating)”

*: I don’t remember the exact syntax, but it’s something like that.

For managing to avoid Walmart? That’s easy: Just be born in Europe.

My only Walmart visits have been during work trips. Most of them to Houston, coincidentally. So yes, I’ve also been severely hungover in TX.

It was too peoply for me

(I’ve only been to WalMart three times in my entire life)

Because of an ancient joke between my friends and I before the turn on the millennium, I habitually pronounce “ROFL” as “ROLF”. For starters, Rolf is a first name name here (equivalent of Ralph, I think). Secondly, previously mentioned in-joke revolves around “Rolling on lawn, farting”

Your comment made me think it might be stripped teeth on belt(s) or gear(s)

From a 3d printing perspective, I have absolutely no idea.

But from the perspective of troubleshooting electronics, that’s a pretty awful situation: electrical shocks can cause all sorts of weird havoc with unpredictable behavior and unintuitive symptoms. If I was in your situation I would seriously consider cutting my losses short and replace ALL of the electronics and save myself from a major headache.

Source: I was tasked with fixing an MF/HF radio station that had been struck by lightning. And the ship it was on was only available around 0300 in the morning. I replaced so many components, including the ones that threw an error, but to no avail. I ended up replacing the entire station, antenna and tuner included.

I love how Isaac Asimov is an actual side character in “Murder at the A.B.A.” (written by Asimov himself). And his self-insert is written as a condescending douche that the protagonist can’t stand.

Considering his less than ideal body shape, it’s also not unreasonable to hope for a major cardiovascular event

Blender for most things, freecad sometimes

The Orville is valid. While it’s obviously star trek inspired, it’s good enough to stand on its own.

Both.

Grew up with Star Wars as I have an older brother who had IV-VI on VHS.

Later in life I found myself in a job that took me offshore without internet access, so I needed something to watch on my laptop. As I considered myself a geek, and having never watched Star Trek, I torrented all of star trek and brought it with me. I started with The Cage, went over to Original series, and so forth. Last I saw was Enterprise.

Damn, I had the popcorn ready and everything…

Heh, someone downvoted you as if they think you made that up. Can’t blame them for that assumption.

I am convinced most retail workers refer to the system by sharing my interpretation of POS…

In a vacuum it doesn’t, but the connotation of a more modern interpretation of the abbreviation would probably result in many interpreting any insistence from me as “Person of color” = “piece of crap”.

A wild lemmygrad appears.
Which instance do you choose as counter?

That jingle should be cause enough on humanitarian grounds

Depends if you’re hosting something public, or something private.

For public, a webserver is a simple start. Can be anything you want it to be, but as complexity increases, so does the amount of potential attack vectors, so keep that in mind of you’re considering adding things like WordPress and the like.

For private, a NAS and/or a simple game server is a simple and useful start.

As for how, there’s a million ways to do it, and I’m an old stubborn BOFH that still cling to the old ways of doing it (as in, no VMs, no containers), so I’ll defer to others for that.

While purpose built server hardware is always nice since it comes with some useful additions, the truth is that “any” machine will do. Old discarded PC will do just fine.

My previous boss used to say “We’ll blow that bridge when we get there”

Because of a movie (I don’t remember the name, I don’t remember the plot), I thought it meant Fuck The World
