I don’t even like Hollow Knight that much but I’ll buy it because it’s $20.

I fucking hate all the attention Taylor Swift gets. Yes she’s a talented performer. She is not the second coming.

I’m pretty sure I had a stroke.

Oh that Centipede… at first I was like “I don’t really want that simulated…”

- Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason 2 weeks ago:
No, all USB-C cables do not have hardware to negotiate power (voltage and current). USB-C is simply a connector type like USB-A and USB-B. What you’re referring to is called USB-PD. This is when the charger and device “handshake” to agree on the optimal voltage and current, then adjust dynamically as needed. Yes extensions can be a problem for things like laptops or anything that can draw large current over high voltage. It’s really not any different than trying to run a table saw over a cheap extension cord meant for a lamp or a set of Christmas lights. If you’re using one of the usb extension cables to charge your phone, it’s fine.

This took me way longer to get than it really should have.

I just had six days with grandchildren 2 & 6 (parents were in Alaska) and I have no idea how I did this before.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Dad of four kids and two grandchildren. Enjoy every minute of sleep. Take a nap in the middle of the day for no reason other than you’re bored. Remember that day. It will get you through the dark times. 🤣

Why did anybody spend money on producing this “movie”? I mean really… somewhere in the midst of this someone should have started question their life choices.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Well maybe not. The “no objections” is just him setting him up to give it a shot and not wussing out. And the “evolve”… not sure about you guys but I’m significantly different than I was at 22….
I’m not super fond of the phrasing either but I think his heart is in the right place.

I’m 54 and I’ve realized you can meet people in the weirdest places sometimes. She might be a very nice girl. Worst case scenario is you have a bad blind date. If he keeps doing it it might be a problem but humor him at least once.

So this is what a stroke sounds like….
- Comment on It would get old fast 4 weeks ago:
Yeah had a neighbor that would just pop in all the time. It was cool until it wasn’t. We moved and barely speak now. I think I know one person in my new neighborhood and it’s very much just an acquaintance.
- Comment on Recommendations for games to play on a treadmill (i.e. not too intense) 4 weeks ago:
Death Stranding 1 & 2. I mean they are walking simulators anyway. I’m not dissing the game at all. Probably have 500 hours plus in both of them combined.
- Comment on Soup of Theseus 5 weeks ago:
In this case I believe there is a difference between “contain no original molecule of soup” and “so fucking close to water you might as well be having sex in a canoe”

Oh there are words. Most of them are incorrect though.

You’ll notice these people are usually less fuzzy in the death pics because the shutter speed was pretty long and they aren’t moving.

I have no idea how half those store in that Venetian mall stay in business. I went to VMware Explore this year and there were quite a few people attending but very few of those stores had any body in them. The food places seem to do ok but the high end stores were just empty. I can’t imagine the rent is cheap enough to keep them open. It was kinda sad actually. Reminded me of going into the dead malls around here.

Yeah it might be substituting one cost for another. But I thought the Fresnel lenses were pretty cheap. No idea of that would work or be feasible.

- Comment on Just.....why? 1 month ago:
I am what you would call a technology enthusiast, or what some people have dubbed as a gadget whore. I love little electronic devices that make my life easier. However, at no time in my life, will I ever need or desire a toothbrush that needs WiFi access or a subscription to some service. It really isn’t necessary or even useful. It’s like the old comic about the toilet that needs a phone app.
