We have all these new video conferencing systems and not a single one that can finish a call and then put a big “END TRANSMISSION” on the screen with some kind of friendly but subtly ominous logo
Techno gizmos be all like, “beep beep beep beep beep! You’ve got mail! KABOOM”
In light of recent events, I feel obligated to continue everything I am doing now, for better or worse. You’re welcome and/or I’m sorry.
Where is the Warner Brothers athleisure collection? Universal? Whose brand of spandex is in your stores? Disney’s eating your lunch as usual, rest-of-the-media-property-marketing-industry. Get on athleisure rfn goddammit
I may never have brutalized a hypervisor so viciously and mercilessly as by trying to run Windows installations in two guests at the same time
After this, I will have to confirm I haven't literally destroyed a pair of SSDs
Anyone use the Orion browser for macOS? Trying to decide if I should install an extension from the Chrome store or the Firefox store. Hard to tell if there are any differences in the plug-in functionality itself or in how Orion interfaces with one type of plug-in vs the other.
Am I imagining it or has “targeted group” been added to the common vernacular basically overnight
Tend to think that’s not a healthy thing to see in a society
All the video filters that add cat ears or silly glasses in Zoom meetings are fun, but what we really need is filters that can make sure you look adequately showered and dressed
Some of my favorite scenes in game of thrones were the night-before-the-horrific-battle scenes… the mix of anticipation, hope, terror, resignation… all hanging still in the air, smelling of sweat and grime and blood and steel, everyone’s faces like stone made flesh, clutching at life and innocence, staring empty through the gauzy veil of death…
Not mentioning this for any reason having to do with anything going on
Finally some rain. Even just a little moisture in the soil brings my house’s foundation piers back to life, and the doors that aren’t supposed to stick stop sticking. And the ones that are, resume sticking
Rings of power, season 2, episode 8, cold open, one of the best scenes in the entire franchise
For all the middling aspects of this series, that was as good as anything put on screen from this universe
Saving some hot toots to drafts for later
Apple Internet Router is killing my Mac SE. I see someone on #GlobalTalk is using a Cisco router. I have a 2520 that supports AppleTalk. Man I don't want to configure hundreds of individual tunnels (though I will if I have to). Not sure how to configure an open-ended tunnel though…
It's awful, but also just so fundamentally *surreal* that one campaign is basically "like playing xbox? That's cool, I also like that", and then visiting a puppy farm and asking cute kids what they want to be when they are older as the other party re-enacts hitler rallies for a festival of hate
Gravy would never do this to me. But that’s why I take it for granted
So much revenge.
The problem with eating your feelings with cheese is, right away the feelings get their revenge
The SFP module wasn’t broken, the switch wasn’t broken; I just needed to turn off auto-negotiate
Then the ZFS array wasn’t damaged; just the battery had run down while the system was in storage and the controller lost its config
I wonder what else I’m overthinking
I got Tomato!
Ha! Ha! I’m on #GlobalTalk
