• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t know. Every OS has its goods & bads. But generally I think it just comes down to whatever’s available. Personally, I use:
  Windows on my work laptop (because that’s what they gave me),
  MacOS on my personal laptop (because I like it),
  Ubuntu on my home automation / media server (because it was free).

  I once traded someone my PS3 for his PS4.
  I traded up, and he had two PS4s and no PS3 and he wanted one of each. It was a win-win.

  The Filter song Hey Man Nice Shot is about what’s in that bag.

  I like to imagine that This song was playing when he was catching them fists.

  …with his face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going back to play Mario Kart 8 on my Switch 1 when everyone else has a Switch 2, FOMO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play MK8 against my kid, and never realized that the choice of carts makes a difference. Do the tires and glider make a difference too? I always just used the Mii Mercedes.

  I rarely play it with him anymore, he prefers “Wreckfest” - which is a lot of fun too, but I find MK8 more challenging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there may be some missing information. For example, if the customer had a coupon or other discount. The tip should be a percentage of the total before the discount. If they’re “adjusting” to tip less- based on the post-coupon price, fuck them.

  They’re not wrong but they are an asshole. (You’re is short for “you are,” your is the possessive pronoun)

  This isn’t a design problem. It’s a maintenance problem. The panels were put back in the wrong order.

  Took me too long to remember “Arctic” and “Antarctic” and I kept wondering how “North Pole / South Pole” translated to “Bearlandia / Not Bearlandia”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeasty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a teen working at Little Caesar’s, we set up a giant elastic band in our back door, and would launch our expired dough balls at the Burger King drive-thru window across the street. Then they’d call us and yell. Fun times.

  Replace rain with “more stew ingredients” and you’re describing Perpetual Stew - a soup that is forever cooking, forever being eaten, forever being added to.

  When I was a kid, we used to keep the plastic bags from bread once we ate the loaf and in winter we’d line our boots with them. To keep our socks dry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you’re comparing 333 Commerce St building (topped out in 1993) with Barad-dûr, as depicted in Peter Hackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy (released in 2001-2093), then you maybe should ask why Peter Jackson’s art inspiration (specifically illustrator Alan Lee) based their depiction of Sauron’s tower in the AT&T building (although maybe the architect of the building in Nashville did also draw their inspiration from Alan Lee’s art).

  I could find no other depiction of Barad-dûr prior to Jackson’s which had that same forked design, most artists drew a sinister-looking but traditionally spired tower design, with the eye peering through a window to some effect.

  Tolkien’s book describes the tower like this:

  “Then at last his gaze was held: wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black tower of adamant, he saw it: Barad-dûr, Fortress of Sauron. All hope left him… …and then he saw, rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr. One moment only it stared out, but as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye”

  No mention of the two-prong fork design that I could find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can fix her⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I once dated a girl for a while but we stopped dating because she was just too BPD for me to handle. The passion & sex were great, but the mood swings, lies, paranoia, etc. were just too much.

  We remained friends though for a very long time. Went out separate ways but were always in touch. Eventually she got into drugs & dating real bad dudes, and I tried to get her to get a grip and stop the drugs & ruining her life. She ghosted me. Eventually she responded (or rather her boyfriend did) that she was in a psych ward for rehab. Or friendship resumed when she got out.

  A year later she died. I met her family at the funeral, befriended them. One day I mentioned her psych ward stay. Her mom said she was never in a psych ward. Her mom pulled up texts on her phone from the date range when she allegedly was in the ward.

  The whole thing was a sham. She told me she was in the psych ward / rehab to get me off her back. The txt from her bf was just her.

  I miss my friend dearly, but finding that out broke my heart.
