Didn't they do a similar thing with Walt Disney?

I have a DigitalOcean droplet running Debian 8.10 (jessie) that costs me only $5 / month.
512MB memory, 1 vCPU, 20GB SSD, 1 TB transfer.
I followed the instructions at:
Prerequisites for .NET Core on Linux | Microsoft Docs[^] and successfully installed dotnet core.
It took about 1.4 GB to install dotnet and I have 4.5GB left.
Kind of amazed it was so easy. Now to try some stuff.

If a couple shoplift a calendar, do they get six months each?

This time, the 'thought' was a bit week. Perhaps, after much hard work (smoking gin?) you're in a bit of a days?<br?

Or six bunnies each, if it is one of those calendars.

Can one shop lift a shop calendar?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, and if they tear out a couple of pages and give them away, they get time off for good behavior.

|

Only if one of them is called Greg or Ian.

You should March on down to the pun police station and turn yourself in for that one. They May take pity on you if you tell the truth, but if July you'll really be in for it.

I put it to you that a variable, constant or define named "MILLISEC_PER_SEC" is never, ever, ever needed.

Shouldn't this be in "The Weird and the Wonderful" (with a code snippet)? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's what I would think, as the SI-system is fairly logical. Then you meet someone from the UK and they tell you there's x feet in an inch.
It's also a nice shortcut, to change the display from msec to sec, just by setting this constant to "0" instead of "1000" :p

There are: 0.0833333... feet in 1 inch.

And then the shoe-size is not measured in feet nor inches..

Well, obviously; they're measured in barleycorns[^]. Everybody knows that!

I learned not only a valuable unit today. This link enriched my view of the metric/non-metric systems. Very useful graphic[^]. Now I realize why it is so for a person familiar with all this to discover the metric system.

You only typed five 3s. Methinks you are missing some 3s!

Hence the elipsis - I can't put a dot over a three reliably (there's no HTML overstrike-and-superscript tag that I know of)
