Was easier when I had a big CRT on my desk, and the cat would just chill on top and bat at the mouse pointer moving around the screen.

AI: I use it - i can keep multiple things going in parallel which seems to work well with my ADHD. Foreign BS: I worry a bit about my draft age kids, worry about donald rumsfeld's …

these look like they have ... other uses.

I f'd my knees running track in HS - i suspect some kind of structural problem that alters the way my knees move. Sr year wsa awful, i was just about crawling to class in the morni…

Hey my dad used to wipe the stuff of tomatoes before eating them right off the vine. I’m mostly ok, have the normal number of arms and legs. Only had one tumor, and just a few endo…

Why yes, they do. If they didn't, they would get out and socialize. I'm not controlling them. We're basically all introverts here. Except maybe my youngest, who gets his social nee…

some of us like that. I get 90% of my social interaction needs from my wife/kids/dogs. The rest I get from going to the gym and lifting. OTOH: i also live in the woods.

Well, I didn’t produce enough T on my own anyway, so what the hell.

My MYP has needed to go into the shop once (aside from a Portland pothole wrecking a wheel and bending a suspension arm). Our Benz sprinter needed an engine at 11k miles. I wonder …

Also, most of the car people I know could easily debug software, they’re used to debugging fairly complex systems already. They just don’t know it. It’s the same basic way of think…

This makes no sense. FoMoCo doesn’t hire mechanics to work on customer cars, franchise dealerships do. And no mechanic I’ve ever met makes 120k.

Now can they fix all the other usability issues?

Im working on (slowly) a very very niche web app to help my wife manage her dog breeding program. Maybe it'll be useful enough for other breeders to use it.

> XTX developed TernFS for distributed storage after they outgrew their original NFS usage and other file-system alternatives. So... call me old and crotchety, but i'm not sure I t…

Some of us have lived through multiple bubbles and know that often, the underlying bits are useful and will gain widespread acceptance. Just play long, and don’t feed the hypemonst…

A big part of my childhood died

A Glock 18, huh? I’d fucking love to edc a Glock 18.

I want to leave tech as well. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to replace my income (yet). I'm working on a VERY niche SaaS offering, that has some novel growth areas. But gett…

When I use an LLM for (much of anything) I always feel like that scene in the first Iron Man movie where Stark is trying to build stuff with the robot and it almost, but doesn't qu…

are they still counting a pair of gang bangers shooting each other in the parking lot a school shooting?

I feel the same way - I have STFU for the most part. i miss the old internet.

real name is attached to most old things - im an old fart and got on the internet when such things were safe. Anything created in the past 7-8 years i use something made up. (is th…
