Started on the 'buntu in 2005 or 2006. Distro hopped for a decade until I found Solus. That had some dark times a few years ago but seems to be back now but I moved to Debian anyway. Feels right.

Hotdog or not hotdog?

I’ve only seriously lowballed scalpers who buy niche new records and try and flip them. I will pay you the cost of the record and shipping and throw in 5 bucks but that’s it. I will not pay triple.

Mexico mode is only available once a year on May Fifth. It then disappears until next the next year.

I call BS. It’s been apparent for years Elon is an ass clown. I never liked him because I don’t like billionaires, but it was when he called the driver who rescued those kids stuck in a cave a pedophile just because he didn’t get to use his submersible he had space x build. That was 2018. I’m sure there were red flags before that but that was when I lost respect for anyone who likes him.

I wear them at work because normally you are only allowed to wear one ear bud to keep awareness but I am deaf in one ear. The clean room suits actually help improve the sound (I think they vibrate a little). I also use them at my desk so people can’t sneak up on me.

At home I use them for phone calls because I don’t sound weird to me unlike regular headphones.

Desk pop.

New intern at work was talking about smashing 2 cars while speeding just weeks apart. Then starts talking about wanting to get a motorcycle. Kid isn’t going to make it to 25.

Ok Pierce.

Only if rail can figure out their shit and hire enough workers and give them all time off. Too many train derailments from precision scheduled railroading.

By best you mean glorious Debian right?

They really pissed me off with their Terry Prachet bundle a few months ago. Only in the small text did it state the books had kobo DRM. I’ve been buying bundles for a decade and never had to worry about DRM before so I didn’t even think to look for it.

Some living things will make it through the extinction event and the next sentient species will fuck it all up again in a billion years or so.

If I had a job where I could work from home I think I’d rather be in the office most of the time but I would appreciate the flexibility. I just really hate zoom meetings. I find most in person meetings can be done a little more spur of the moment and you are in and out in 5-15 minutes where the scheduled zoom meetings are an hour of some upper manager droning on in an attempt to justify their existence.

I’m much happier that 99% of the time I’m physically working on machines and not in face to face or zoom meetings but that’s just been my experience.

This was so confusing. We are doing RTO at work but it means rotating time off not return to office. In general people are pretty happy here to get some extra vacation even if it’s unpaid (we can claim unemployment so it’s not that big of a hit). It’s manufacturing so there’s never been work from home except some management types during peak COVID.

As a Ravens fan and a leftist I agree. The season was rigged from the start. I don’t know how it just was and no I won’t listen to reason.

If it gets it means Biden wins in November I’ll grudgingly accept it though.

No Age - Everybody’s Down.

Ahh got it. I don’t use it as regularly as I did 10-20 years ago but I’d still miss it being around.

what happened to pitchfork?

I think the RIAA has a different view on that. Huge push backs against recordable cassettes and VHS tapes when they were introduced.
