A year ago I was unemployed and single. My answer then would have been considerably different than now. I’m much happier with my life but the world is now much worse off and I’m currently struggling to reconcile my radical progressive views with the desire for a comfortable life. I’m still strongly of the opinion that our society (in the US at least) is beyond repair, but I’m less eager to see the reset button pressed. I’m fortunate to be in a blue state (though like all blue states, it gets real red outside the city limits), so my plan at the moment is to pretend the federal government doesn’t exist.

Simpsons did it first, with Pierce Brosnan voicing the home assistant.

If you wanna help moths, combatting light pollution so they can enjoy the moon

Just be sure to do the combatting during the day, so the fires don’t distract the moths at night.

I’m in agreement that we might have a few too many guardrails, but stupid people tend to exist in groups, and cooperation is the best path to survival.

There’s only one way to filter politics out of your time online: don’t go online.

Graphics cards are so bulky nowadays it’s often hard to even fit two on one mobo, as much as I’d love to see 10 GPUs all linked up.

Day 1065: still feeling fatigue. Poor sleep habits or longest period ever?

I’m in. My recipe for pie crusts and whipped cream calls for a lot of cheap liquor and something called “flammable rags”? It’s an odd recipe but comes highly rated.

Yeah those prices might have been accurate about a century ago.

Just when you get to the episodes where the meddling civilian oversight committees screws everything up until the brave military breaks the law to save the day, be sure you don’t learn the lesson they’re trying to teach you.

And before horses they were called “wotels” because you walked to them.

Selling cheaper food to places that have less money? It cannot be!

Wait, what’s being released? And where? And when?

So that’s why Windows Explorer has to be restarted every 30 minutes!

Ammo isn’t, from what I hear. However arrows can be made out of any relatively straight and light material.

What about grammatically?

I had to reboot my Windows 10 desktop because the software I have to manage my wallpaper wasn’t working (and still isn’t), and had to unplug my second monitor during reboot otherwise the Steam overlay won’t work. After rebooting, I had a different software prompt me to update and the save file location window froze the browser for 3-4 minutes, while discord was freezing in the foreground. The taskbar disappeared until I restarted Explorer.exe, some telemetry process I had never heard of before was eating up 92-100% of the CPU and I had to go into the scheduler to disable it.

This is an average day with Windows nowadays. I didn’t even mention the myriad of perpetual issues I’ve been having.

Of course on my Linux laptop Chrome wouldn’t update automatically either through the browser or from the command line (and I have to use Chrome because Google Drive doesn’t work right on Firefox on Linux).

I needed the /s tbh. I have nothing against Carrey, but there are lots of Canadian Americans that I think are at least as deserving of statues. Though not my favorite, Nathan Fillion, as much as it pains me to admit it. Since he starred in two copprogranda shows he is no longer statue worthy.

Digital messaging has autocomplete, and while it ducking sucks (and is getting worse, thanks LLMs), it still does all the work for you.

I would, at the least, desire to egg that MIT prof’s house. Language is about communication, and if everyone has their own rules there can be no communication. If you spell it Travis’ I’ll be asking you what a Travi is.
