The real trick is to move to a high cost of living area where you’re super near but can hardly afford to make it there as often as you’d like.

This is a tough one. One way I sort of get around this is I buy the discs (if international) or rent them (domestic), but it’s probably so new and exclusive that it hasn’t been released on any rippable media.

Whether or not you eat the rich, please consider not eating the cows.

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I get stuck on foods too but it’s usually something I cook. I keep cooking until I get the recipe down, then I get sick of it after awhile and move on.

I’ve also got a few staples: breakfast burritos (tofu scramble + homemade fake meat or soy chorizo), chili, pizza with imported tipo 00 flour, stir fry, etc. I love spicy foods so especially with the stir fry I add chili oil to kick it up several levels and then something repetitive and boring a lot more complex.

Phew, that’s good news. If it was in the article I didn’t see it.

I was taught you only spell out numbers ten and under, so I would write it:

Breakfast at the Thompson’s was a busy affair; 12 eggs and six rounds of toast for their three sets of boisterous twins.

Kind of wish we knew whether the dog is okay

Is this a joke? Back in my office days I constantly had to switch to Chromium-based browsers to load websites with shit security (TLS 1.0 anyone?). Chrome’s even dumb enough to let you load an <iframe> without checking the content-type.

(Not hating on Firefox though.)

I’m a huge fan of IoT, but requiring all this stuff to access internet is just so wild to me. It’s 2024, we all have a LAN* at this point (even though non-tech people think WiFi == internet).

I stupidly bought iRobot products and the app is such a glitchfest, it wants to talk to AWS’ shithole us-east-1 to do anything and of course the app is always telling me about “great deals” on newer products.

* Careful when using an ISP-supplied router though, now your ISP wants access to your LAN for “totally innocent” reasons

How can I make this my prompt on zsh?

You don’t use the C:/> </ terminal prefix and suffix prompt on your smartphone?

My wife does this in the dental industry. She’s got loads of questionable quality USB sticks and I haven’t gotten her to copy it all to our NAS.

In high school I used to pass USB flash drives in an Altoid can (to protect it), good times.

I also used to be the CD-R guy (and later DVD+RW) for my group of friends, I was really into .cue sheets and putting hidden tracks on those (including dumb shit like seeking back in the middle of a slow song would reveal heavy metal or something).

These days I host a Tailscale network — unfortunately with residential upload speeds being trash, I’ve moved all my Blu-ray rips to Storj and set up a WebDAV gateway on a VPS (running Tailscale). It’s fast as hell but I’m not in love with decrypting on the VPS.

I really don’t like starting with “fix.” You can just describe it without saying “fix” most times.

• Fix Strings containing whitespace
• Escape Strings containing whitespace in CSVExporter

This is the language I use, once I started I never looked back.

Eh, I import thousands of block lists into Unbound and call it a day. I like using apps but don’t like being tracked, so a browser extension just won’t cut it for me.

Big surprise that the animal abusers would come out with their “steak tho”/“bacon tho” brain rot

Or they hate updates for some fake reason like “they want to control me”
