Don’t threaten me with a good time

Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days

We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they’d rather mute. But they’re forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don’t like.

Groups with just things we agree with wouldn’t explain it. What happens is we go into groups of people we agree with and then post memes about the other side that everyone agrees with. We get a caricature of the opposition that is reinforced.

As evidence, just look how much news about Trump gets posted to liberal places. If you don’t want to hear about him that’s the last place you should go.

For nostalgia’s sake I watched a YouTube video of [adult swim] complete with original commercials and bumpers. Even though I specifically requested commercials they were pretty terrible and I ended up skipping them anyway.

To paraphrase Scott Manley; they got the rocket science down but need to work on their bolt science

They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.

This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it’s just big boxes around a giant parking lot.

I was nervous before mine, but it wasn’t bad at all. The worst part was the slight pinch in my balls when they gave me the local anesthetic. It took about fifteen minutes, and I walked out just fine.

I sat on the couch all weekend and watched action movies which was awesome. Ibuprofen was more than enough for the pain, and I was able to do light house work in a couple days.

Get some reviews of doctors in your area, but I would definitely recommend getting one if you don’t want any kids.

There are designs for a giant glass cone put in the middle of the desert. Air under the cone gets warmed and it rises up through a couple turbines on its way out of the device.

Meanwhile in Georgia (USA) they completed a new nuclear power plant and they have to raise rates because it went 100% over its $14 billion budget.

I hope you can see this because I am doing it as hard as I can

Can’t have pop up headlights or hood ornaments because they’re dangerous to pedestrians.

But you can have a hood that’s six feet tall because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.

White Sands Space Harbor

That is a really cool name

Never buy the brand new model of anything. Computer, car, dishwasher, blender; they all have teething problems that are solved in later versions. Hell, in enterprise IT it’s common to be several major versions back and to pay for security patches rather than keep up with the latest and greatest.

One of my favorite pastries is a maple-bacon long john. It’s a long donut with maple icing and a slice of candied bacon on top.

That could be hundred of kilobytes of data!

My kid’s doctor had their prescription service ransomwared. They paid it, and then got ransomwared again by the same folks.

It’s been six months now, the prescription system is broken, and they’ve been using paper prescriptions since then with no idea when things will get fixed.

I saw a clip on Just Rolled In where a lady in a Lexus thought she was trapped in her car when the electrics failed, as did the firefighters who broke her window, despite there being manual releases on both the inside and the outside of the car.

I’m with you but I’m still hesitant because I like my manual transmission

I think that was also around the time the timeline went from chronological to algorithm-based

This has always been the first stage of enshittification. Twitter back in 2007 was pretty nice. I made a lot of local friends because they’d post cat pictures and food pictures and we’d have meetups. Really great folks that I found because their posts showed up in a chronological feed alongside other ones I follow.

Then when they switched to an algorithmic feed all those posts by people with low follower counts got drowned out by ones with activity. My friends were still there, I just didn’t see them because The Algorithm decided I didn’t want to. I stopped using Twitter not long after that.
