Not at all. I graduated a semester early and moved to a nearby city where I immediately lost all my friends from high school. A few years later I moved across the country and never looked back.

I’ve read that drinking is often used to communicate depression or stress to viewers. I always found it odd that everyone has a bar in their house so I started thinking about it more and did some reading.

I mean you’d be boosting the productivity within the remaining workload

God DAMN is this what’s happening on corporate social media these days?

Living in Los Angeles sirens in movies/TV generally confuse the fuck out of me

The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric S Raymond. I’m only half-joking; I used to read it when I had insomnia because it was equal parts fascinating but verbose enough to get me to sleep.

Otherwise Waking Up by Sam Harris. I’d only heard of him after a group meditation session which I’d never done before and immediately became hooked: that you could be spiritual without religion was an entirely new concept for me.

I do this more or less, while the VPS itself doesn’t route over a VPN I have traffic forwarded between Tailscale and a commercial VPN.

It’s actually much more complicated and involved than that involving four double hop VPN tunnels, two that stay 100% in my country then two that bounce around other countries routed over the first two. This way my traffic exits the country without it appearing that way.

Bonus points if the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels use the same SSID and security. I can’t stand when people separate them — who wants to sit there and switch networks all day trying to find the best one? Just let the clients do it on their own.

Just don’t leave it there though, the world is already so polluted.

Just like I block all your employer’s domains I block you. I’ve had the chance to sell out too but it’s kind of gross that you know that what you’re doing is wrong but you rationalize it with “because money.”

Oh sure because AWS is so stable

I never understand why people say this. I always feel like shit the day after getting high. I’m tired, cranky, irritable or have that weird anxious feeling like something bad might happen (that I never otherwise have).

Is this common to do? Do you just have no control over the content you’re consuming? I feel like I’m missing something here.

I mean they were always packed when I went. But one (Sage Bistro in Pasadena, CA) was hard to get into without a reservation. The owner just decided she suddenly believed in “regenerative farming” for whatever fucking reason.

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?

Why don’t they just stop these people from entering in the first place? I keep seeing Greenland cry about the horrible Americans (as they should) but then they just let them in for some reason?

I’ve been vegan since 2019 and it’s hitting me lately that in those days things were looking bright for veganism. Now a lot of vegan restaurants are turning their backs on animals by serving meat then closing up shop a few months later after alienating their customers. It’s getting more difficult to find vegan options and it just breaks my heart.

(There’s also like 10,000 other problems I’m going through too.)

I generally wear one of many identical black tees during the workweek, I don’t have any cartoon shirts though.

That’s not how I thought that was going to end

I probably should be using ISO too but I typically just have the BDMV and friends there. It defaults to ISO for (some?) DVDs though which I find interesting; I can’t remember the logic there.
