Is that Dean Kamen in the last picture??? That might be the most upsetting thing I've seen in a long time...

Can I ssh into a server and not lose all productivity yet? Last time I tried ghostty I had to setup separate configs for my servers because they didn't recognize it :/

Never trust the last person, especially if the last person was you.

My friends Mustang would stall on speedbumps. Just speedbumps, no matter how fast or slow. We tried rebuilding the carb,and a bunch of other things, but we figured it's probably more complicated than something we could fix in an afternoon, so anytime we went over a speedbump we'd throw it into neutral and get ready with the key.

I keep telling people in their twenties not to even entertain the idea of growing up. You get bored of it fast.

Sometimes I feel like I have to physically pull people away from things they aren't going to like. Everyone wants to learn how to drive a semi with a b-train, but they should be starting on the good old reliable Camry.

The amount of people celebrating the death of Dick Cheney is shocking.

I thought there'd be more.

It's scary and disorienting, but imo it's worth it.

I can now say anecdotally I have more friends that have tried Linux and are happier on it, than I have friends who went back to Windows.

Most of the people who went back went back for edge cases, weird hardware or that "one game" that has kernel level anticheat and doesn't run on Proton.

I've been investing in my bluray collection again and I can't believe how good 1080p blurays look compared to "UHD streaming" .

This is true, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infection, not viral.

This is it, full stop. Dogs are individuals and should be treated as such.

I helped raise and home two litters of Staffordshire pups, we kept a rigorous list of the owners that we interviewed and checked the homes once a year to monitor the dogs progression. We made the owners sign a contract stating that if the living standards weren't up to snuff, we could reclaim the dogs. I worked with a fellow who raised Staffies for 30 years. In two litters, we had around a dozen well trained, friendly huggable porkchops. Two litters that had no recorded bites past a few months old (puppys nibble but can be trained), and showed no aggression with other animals. All those pups lived to old age, and passed in happy homes. I've also met too many pitbulls that were beyond any help i had to offer. Damaged dogs damaged by poor parenting.

I know my story is anecdotal, and i don't expect to change minds here, but i cant stand the outrage against such lovable dorks when something like the chihuahua exists.

Well I spent entirely too much time thinking about this. I guess so? Though I'm more of an HE calendar person...
