GRUBER KING
Thank you for playing Wing Commander
Welcome to
GRUB, I love youat least it’s linux
Likely, but not necessarily. The grand unified bootloader boots a great many things.
TIL what GRUB stands for!
It’s grand indeed.There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your man pages.
quote that
I might be getting whooshed but uh, it’s a riff on a line from Hamlet iirc
“There is more between heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophies”
At least they’re doing one thing right.
Kind of weird how GRUB is “BURG” backwards…
BURG stands for Boot UR GRUB
And GRUB stands for GRand Unified BURGer
No, that’s definitely GRUBER
GRUBUR
You’re a goofy GRUBUR! Yeah!
We’re all goofy GRUBUR! Yeah!
Goofy goofy GRUBUR GRUBUR! Yeah!
GRUB UR KING
Threre used to be a fork of grub called burg. They lost a great opportunity there
Welcome to Gruber Gnu, have it your way
This made me think of Mitch Hedbergs escalator joke.
“I like the escalator, man, 'cause the escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an ‘Escalator Temporarily Out of Order’ sign, only an ‘Escalator Temporarily Stairs - Sorry for the Convenience.’”
Escalator breaking in such a way that it goes way too quickly could make it unusable.
True. Though that’s much more isolated. Typically criminal negligence is involved. Though early escalators were always slightly scarry meat grinders.
Yeah I don’t fuck around with out of order escalators if I can avoid it. I’ve seen too many internet videos.
They have exactly two failure modes. Become stairs and become horror movie.
Well that escalated quickly!
I am scared to wear sandals on them because of how many times I’ve stubbed my toe on the edge walking up, and those things still draw blood

At the station it became apparent that a few of the escalators were working again by now. However, some entrypoints remained closed off.
And a few months later:
Welcome…
To zombocom…
I miss zombo.com
I hope they can restore the original
In the meantime
I wonder how many non tech people thought it was their new slogan.
I was thinking that for a quarter second until I read the second line. :)
A quarter pounder second?
A Royale Second (with cheese) in the civilized world
How does this happen? Boot loader and OS on separate disks, and the OS disk has failed?
Oh sweet summer child. It used to happen all the time
Is this Burger King?
No, this is GRUB!
Well, I’m at least glad to see that their sign isn’t running Windows.
Grub can even boot windows. It just doesn’t come with the standard windows installer.
It can boot windows, but really shouldn’t.
Technically I think it is just chainloading the Windows Boot Manager
bootmgfw.efiwhich then loadswinload.efiwhich boots Windows.but they’d be at least dual booting!

Yeah, but in general, people who run Windows don’t use Grub.
Surprisingly this is not actually an inappropriate thing to display there, seeing as they do indeed sell grub.
