It’s not the Voltaires that kill you, it’s the Ampaires.

My ex and I have almost nothing in common but kink. But even 10 years after the divorce, we fall back into old routines when we meet up.

I personally reduced trade-show receiving times by 75% per item by designing a Microsoft Form for warehouse employees to upload photos of shipping labels, where 10 lines of JS pulled all the relevant info from the sheet being populated by the form. This replaced hand-writing complex triplicate forms, allowed us to send reports before close of business, and the client was thrilled.

My boss absolutely hated the new workflow, as she couldn’t read code and therefore didn’t trust that my system worked, all client satisfaction to the contrary. Absolutely absurd.

And this before LLMs were a thing. “AI” is not doing significant automation that hasn’t already been being done for decades.

Finally! It’s been so disheartening how people who owe child support could freely travel internationally. As a voter, I applaud the end to this scurrilous practice that deprives us all of the liberty our forefathers fought for.

Also, dad will be back; he’s just getting a pack of smokes. With two suitcases.

Watts that you say?

Always assume anything you post outside of some messaging apps has hit the public domain and will be used, sold and targeted. This is scarcely a Discord-only problem.

So, after reading several sources on this, it sounds like it’s going to be harder to access furry hentai, which one shouldn’t be doing on Discord in the first place.

That has never been a private space. You want E2EE for anything spicy.

I don’t use Discord for adult content, so it sounds like I won’t really be affected. But they’re sure as hell not getting my face or ID.

I hope you brought snacks, because you’re late to the party!

Always glad to see him getting more attention. This is an important video.

Imagine if we were still doing full-height 5.25" HDDs!

So, rebuild the array offsite after swapping in the good drive?

Fuck, yeah!

The crazy thing is I saw the original short my first summer in the dorms, in 1997…

I only use my phone under duress. The screen is entirely too small. It’s a phone. It’s meant for calls and texting.

I think I’ve made it three episodes into this season, after the abrupt numbering switch. Parker and Stone are still doing excellent work. I figured they’d have gone the way of The Simpsons by now.

There’s a time and a place for everything, with apologies to John Lennon.

Lemmy is a great place for longform discussions, but the vast majority of my posts and comments tend to be of the one-line, weary-columnist snark variety.

Much of the news this days is “this is objectively bad,” making attempts at discourse difficult.

I’m reminded of Saddam Hussein’s first appearance in South Park … “Hey, relax, guy, lake a load off. Look over there.”

I can’t read Bernie without hearing it in his voice.

I mean, most services have decided to price themselves out of the business. A great example is fast food. I remember the 99-cent Whopper and $1 McDoubles. At that price, it was acceptable food. It got the job done.

That any chain claims to still have a “value menu” befuddles me. And don’t get me started on $3.79 fountain drinks.

The problem isn’t RTO, it’s that there’s simply no value anymore. Time was, grabbing a burger on the way home was cheaper than making dinner. Those times have passed, and if you have to drive for an hour, why pay $7 for something you can make at home for $2?
