I’d made it so long without hearing that song until it popped up in Umbrella Academy. Streak ruined.
Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

But… well done is tougher and harder to chew than medium? Right? Am I taking crazy pills for believing this my whole life?
Remember when small trucks were small? I remember. My 2008 Tacoma (which used to be a small truck) seems about the same size as a 90s model Silverado.
I remember the late 90s Tacomas and S10s. I want them back.
But, I do think we hit critical mass because newer ones seem to be shrinking again… I think.
Damn, got removed from your job by down votes. Sorry, that sucks.
Not who you’re replying too (and not vegetarian/vegan) but I’ve always said that people who eat meat should have to kill and butcher an animal at least once so they learn where it comes from and how it gets into those tidy shrink wrapped packages in their grocery store.
It’s not pleasant and too many people don’t understand it.
But, I grew up quite poor where hunting often determined if we were eating so I have a different experience than many. I’m still a big softie though and, while I will do it, I definitely don’t like it.
Yeah, I still get spam/scam from back in the day when your phone number, address, and email were all public in the whois and it was regularly scraped for targets.
I tell everyone to do the privacy guard/redaction.
Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.
This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.
I feel your pain.
Years ago I threw a party for work friends and acquaintances where I had 30 confirmed and 10 tentative (from calendar invite). I bought a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non) and bought/cooked food for about 50 to ensure there was plenty.
… 4 people showed up.
That was the instant that I stopped giving a fuck. Ever since then I’ve adopted the approach of “I’m going to do something, you can come if you want, but I’m not planning for you”. Or, more commonly, I just don’t organize anything :)
EDIT: I should note that this was a recurring yearly party that got bigger and bigger over 5 years until it just died. Pre COVID.
I don’t know if “scuttlefish” was intentional but I love it.
It was weird that it needed my social security number, bank account, mother’s maiden name, and the name of my first pet to make the order but I guess it was worth it to stay healthy. Thanks bud!
O, and tell Derek I said hey.
Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.
You’re supposed to put a link to where we can buy your miracle vinegar/silver mix in your post. Have you learned nothing from these marketing geniuses?
: D
I think they just fixed it
Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.
You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?
I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said “it’s a blue Honda Accord”
The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.
At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.
The one I remember from school was phrased slightly differently (but same concept) :
Poor little Jimmy is lying on the floor, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
When it gets bad enough that I have to ; )
Though we have been on a kick lately of washing dishes immediately after supper and not letting them pile up.
It has to be human liver though. The alcohol will know if you try to trick it with other types.
You just have me a flashback to a game named Nocturne from the late 90s. I didn’t remember anything about it, but I recall enjoying it.
I haven’t thought of that in at least 20 years.
I enjoy the A to C converter on the side that you didn’t explicitly call out. Nice easter egg :D
