There was a show on Nick Jr that taught me how to count to three in Chinese while my kids had snack time.

Back when they were cool ThinkGeek would sell the Annoy-o-tron, which just randomly made a loud beep.
- Comment on TIL my decision to drive a 22' full cab pickup truck and vehemently oppose urban zoning reform makes me a defender of social justice, a warrior for the downtrodden, and more progressive than 99% [cont 3 days ago:
I’d imagine DoorDash delivery is a hell of a lot of faster here than the burbs.

For me it needs way more trees and way fewer people. Like, zero people.
Don’t need the truck. I’ll walk.
- Comment on Who did this 😂😂😂 4 days ago:
Someone with more skill and time than me should do one of these for System 7 Macs.
Mortal Pongbat, Netscape, ResEdit for hacking games, Oscar in the Trash Can, Marathon, MacAddict CDs.
Good times.

So he needed a massive AI to replicate the yahoo.com landing page from 1997.

I’ll guess I’ll die.
Magic isn’t real and you shouldn’t expect it to protect you.
- Comment on Could You Prove You’re a US Citizen? 5 days ago:
Probably but that’s because I’m privileged to have a space secure enough to store the magic documents that mean you’re allowed to occupy the volume required for me.
Nations are dumb and imaginary.

Yes. Burn down the suburbs and make hillbillies socialist again.

I read that as ShermanPosting and burned down Atlanta.

I tried that but I ruined so many clothes because it ashed on me I went back to pre rolls

Yeah but she’ll sound awesome and handle like a dream

My local Goodwill sucks so I go to a thrift shop run by a church and listen to their horrible Christian rock.
Man are those dudes horny for Jesus.

My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.
I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.

I only got to a pack a day before I quit for vaping, and I’ve been titrating down of that and hope to be off it entirely soon.
I do miss the tingle you get from that first smoke of the day. But it’s not worth not being able to smell anything and spending so much money.
- Comment on Ironically, people making fun of the "Gnu/Linux" copypasta is probably one of the main ways people know what Gnu is 1 week ago:
I know GNU because it’s a recursive acronym.

Just a reminder: Musk wanted the Mars version of these done by next year for the launch window.

Joke’s on them I can make one myself
- Comment on Minio strips away almost all features from OSS interface and suggests people use their paid "AIStor" service instead 2 weeks ago:
The more I learn about AI the more I feel like it’s another dot-com bubble.
LLMs and generative AI are such multifaceted systems that saying “this is for AI” is like saying “this is for the WWW”
Databases, interfaces, storage, networking. All are used in AI but if you just say you make a database and not and “AI database” you’ll lose out on investors.
It’s a bit like the gold rush in that everyone is so fixated on the gold that they don’t see the real economic boom is selling the shovels and building the trains.

It’s a certified bop.
You know the rules and so do I.

Oatmeal, though I’d argue it’s specifically steel-cut oatmeal.

As someone who likes his porridge hot this story never made sense to me.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s because a game with challenging puzzles and compelling story takes work and talent and a game that says “collect 20 widgets and get back to the extraction point” can be churned out like cheap hot dogs by overworked devs.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s less the stalling and more that the clutch is heavy duty and can take the abuse of a learner grinding it a lot more.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 3 weeks ago:
That makes even less sense to me. Nothing in the original game is about collecting resources or leaving the ship
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I would recommend practicing on a truck at first. The clutch is beefier and can take the punishment of a newbie, and you’ll get more of an idea of how the clutch feels when it engages.
