Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Make the red text bigger whydoncha?
I appreciate this so much, thank you for filling those blanks
Gamers and sailors: strong feelings about pirating.
Gamers and wine connoisseurs: lack of fine motor control being bad for business.
Sailors and wine connoisseurs: drunks.
alternatively, gamers and wine connoisseurs: running windows apps on linux
You forgot network admins!
Also most of the other overlaps:
Gamers and
Sailors: constant swearing
Connoisseurs: get told it's not a real job
Admins: bothered by ping issues
Sailors and:
Connoisseurs: always in search for the nearest bar
Admins: Surfing in their free time
Connoisseurs and Admins: explaing stuff to morons who just want to consume
Gamers, Connoisseurs and Admins: their private equipment is top notch as well (and probably in the basement)
Admin, Sailor and Gamer: the unwashed masses
Leave him, no one notices us until shit goes down.
meanwhile network engineering students get mad at trunk ports
Also people who work with ancient industrial equipment that can only be programmed via serial RS232
You know what's not a bad port? Dr. Aroused's Boxed Ruby Port.
Only for those with the most refined tastes.
I get mad at Windows features occupying ports, even when that feature isn't in use.
I'm in 2 of these circles.
Sailor & wine connoisseur?
More of a whiskey guy...
NetBSD users.
Fun fact that may or may not be true: The left side of a ship used to be called "larboard" (to go with starboard) because that's where the larder was - where the food was stored, and this was supposedly changed to port because that's also where the wine was stored and it was both easier to say and easier to identify as being different from starboard.
Another fun unverified nautical fact: The word shit originated as an acronym for the storage of cow manure during transport at sea - Store High In Transit. Dried cow pies apparently have...violent reactions to salt water.
Shit comes from the old English word scitte which then became middle English schyt.
It goes back to proto info Europeans and has cognates with many other euro languages, notably Scheiße.
A guy I worked with had a real newspaper headline pinned up above his desk:
Port Asks Serial Levy for Terminal Access
I'm all three. Kinda funny, but I don't drink much port and rarely find a bad one.
