Whenever my ex was low on gas she would park in the driveway in such a fashion as to block me in so I would have to move her car and probably end up just taking it in to work and get gas on the way home.
- Comment on Is it bad if I'm 31 and I feel genuinely sad and empty that a mythical creature isn't real? 1 week ago:
I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.
- Comment on Valves first title with a 3 in it 2 weeks ago:
I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.
- Comment on How far you've fallen 3 weeks ago:
Fucking steam web helper. I’ll have locked my desktop machine and switched my KVM to my work laptop when suddenly the fans spin up. I switch back over and it’s multiple steam processes each using a full core. WTF?!? I’m looking up how to have the lock screen also ‘kill all -9 steam’ to keep it from happening.

I think it’s Wil Wheaton.

Or even unscented.

Sure is a good thing that you don’t have any hobbies that use any resources whatsoever otherwise you’d seem awfully hypocritical complaining about someone with a checks notes gardening hobby.

It’s all good, most of the US doesn’t remember that NM is a state.
- Comment on What’s wrong, babe? You barely touched your Spaghetacos 1 month ago:
Like I’m from the US state New Mexico.
- Comment on What’s wrong, babe? You barely touched your Spaghetacos 1 month ago:
New Mexican here. Get some green chile on there and it’ll be fine.

Relevant XKCD, because there’s always an XKCD for that.

Not at all. Until roughly 150-200 years ago infant and childhood mortality was almost 50% worldwide, which of course massively brings down the average lifespan. If someone made it to 20, they would probably make it to 60 and have a good chance of seeing 70 or more.

It’s my car ibuprofen and antacids , my work ibuprofen and antacids , and my home ibuprofen and antacids thank you very much.
- Comment on What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am? 2 months ago:
Slightly joking, slightly not: Bi means you’re over 35, Pan means you’re under 35 and Omni means you’re thought about it too much.

What the fuck?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Typical rule I’ve seen is don’t date anyone younger than half your age + seven, so for your friend that would be 16. So, it’s right on the borderline.
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 2 months ago:
It’s really depends on the scam, but some of them really do pick a random person. Or, rather the autodialer/autotexter that they are using does. I’ve gotten several scam texts in the last week fishing for info.
Further, there is a lot of into out on the web. Some is just an easy look up for name and adddres from a phone number, other data is pulled from breaches that ends up public or for sale.
- Comment on Not stealing 2 months ago:
So true. I have two and they’re complete opposites. Every single thing that one is easy about the other is hard. I thought that the second would be easier because I learned some things from the first, but every lesson was useless.
- Comment on Not stealing 2 months ago:
I’m so feeling this this morning. I asked the 4yo if he wanted cereal or yogurt for breakfast. He screams “I’m not hungry! I want mama!”, runs to his room and slams the door. Two minutes later he comes out and punches me in the dick while I’m making lunches.
- Comment on nooo my genderinos 3 months ago:
Considering the names of the types of quarks, I recommend renaming them genderinos.
- Comment on Are there any AI services that don't work on stolen data? 3 months ago:
Exactly this. There are plenty of ML/AI systems that build on public datasets, such as AlexNet for image recognition and even some LLMs that are trained on out of copyright documents such as the Project Gutenberg collection. But they almost certainly aren’t what you are looking for.
- Comment on Is the periodic table still getting new additions? 4 months ago:
To expand on this, there aren’t any gaps left so the only new ones will be increasingly heavyweight and have vanishingly short half-lives, which means that they are increasingly difficult to synthesize and detect. In theory there is an island of stability once we can synthesize sufficiently heavy elements, but it seems pretty far off.

What? I love spending my day going to meetings where I’m quizzed about things that won’t matter next week and writing Jira tickets.

Why not worship nature and wear special hats? Most of the witches I know do both.
- Comment on Yes 5 months ago:
Ah yes, the ozone-plastic top notes with an undertone of Doritos and Mt. Dew. And is that a slight hint of cheap beer?
