Ready to feast like a mantis.

It looks like the saucer might detach, as it should!

Thats a good idea.

The town home next to ours was abandoned and had the smoke alarm beep every 60s or so. We tried calling the city and they were no help so we broke in and handled it ourselves.

It was a weird system where the smoke detectors were hooked into the security system which was hooked into one of those soda can sized 9v (12v?) batteries in the basement. I guess that battery was dying. Disconnected that and the beeping finally stopped.

I like your optimism.

All my schools had them. Sometimes you’d catch them doing a resync and all the hands would spin around. I think they probably couldn’t rotate CCW so had to go around the long way if they needed to roll back a few minutes.

I’ve worn a pebble smartwatch for a decade just to avoid all the annoying noises our phones make non stop. So i keep my phone on silent and I’ve got the pebble set to only get notifications for texts and calls neither of which i get a ton of on a daily basis. I like to be able to glance down and either ignore or pull out my phone and deal with.

I am also a big fan of leaving my phone in the other room and dont wear the pebble a lot on weekends just to get a break.

Burn Idaho too. I hate Idaho Nazis.

Jar Jar is our only hope.

I literally have to think about dependancies every time i install a python script in Debian. It always says its externally managed and use pipx. Then its not in pipx so i have to make a venv. Any other language i download and compile and it only cares about dependancies at build time.

Its a lot easier to find a misplaced semicolon than a double space that should have been single. With C i can make the code visually easier for me to read. I just gotta remember to end the line with ;

Aroooooo!

I try to avoid python for two main reasons. While coding, white spaces. Who thought that was a good idea? While using, shared dependancies, again who thought thay was a good idea? I have to use pipx or manually make a venv otherwise python scripts start breaking each other. May as well just package it with its own dependancies from the get go.

Once you have experience in a field you should have recruiters knocking down your door. At least thats my experience in a pretty niche industry.

On work days. Coffee and a banana when i wake up. Some oatmeal a bit later. On non work days, nothing.

We use duo as 2fA for our Microsoft accounts at work. Every Thursday its log into teams on phone log into teams on desktop, log into outlook on phone, log into outlook on desktop. Why can’t your apps cross authenticate on the same device? How does one drive manage to stay authenticated throughout the whole process?

Any actual work I need togets done is done on a 15 year old think pad running Debian. The beefy 12th gen i9 just whirrs its fan around and occasionally gets used for emails, team chats and logging up tickets.

Guillotine every MAGA politician and anyone who still flies a Confederate flag.

Forced conversion therapy for anyone who voted MAGA. (It can be gay).

Enshrinement of equal rights amendments, gay marriage, abortion and right to gender affirming care in the constitution.

Yearly federal minimum wage updates and really automatic updates to anything pertaining to money based on inflation rates.

Nationwide ranked choice voting.

The hopefully only car I’ll ever total was about 20 years ago. I bought it for 7k and drove it for 5 years. They initially lowballed me at like 3k. I was able to show them Kelly blue book values and current used market it was closer to 6. Ended up getting a little over 5k.

Of course in the 5 years since I got the car the used market was nothing like it previously was. A comparable purchase would have been 12k not 7k.

What’s a liter cola?

I mostly use qobuz when out and about and vinyl at home. Music streaming is the one streaming media I don’t find objectionable as a consumer. All the services have pretty much the same catalog so pick based on features. I still buy my favorite albums though so the artist actually gets money.
