I would watch this episode of Black Adder

Grab some lunch at Rose Goute. Then, do a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House. It's a really neat bit of architectural history. Once you're done, head down to Yellow Springs, take a walk on the trail at John Bryant, and finish off the day with dinner at Sunrise Cafe

Funny, last night my wife and I were greeted by the shithole that is SEA, followed by a 45 minute wait for a shuttle to the car rental place. That airport is a joke.

(We're exploring this part of the country, camping along the way and flying back home from Butte. If we were staying in Seattle we'd just use public transit/taxis)

I'm in this picture and I love it

You're basically a Tamagotchi with IBS

Lots of walls of text in the comments. I'm sure the advice is good, I just don't have the focus to read that much lol. I'll keep it short

Two things:

Take a positive inventory. This can be hard, so maybe make a list, and write down one positive each day, then review the list daily.

Don't compare your insides to other people's outsides. You will never gain contentment comparing yourself to others

Ollie went to the neighborhood dance

And he won the big door prize

It was a toilet brush, and he took it home,

And next week some of the guys

They said, "Ollie how's that toilet brush?

"The one you won from the neighbors?"

Ollie said, "It works pretty good,

"But I prefer toilet paper"

Clearly, based on your responses, you don't think AI/LLMs are universally bad. And anyone who is that easily swayed by what is essentially a clever shitpost likely also thinks the earth is flat and birds aren't real.

You know. Morons.

I appreciate it <3

I'm sure there are entire books full of laws that they broke

Ehhh, I've seen too many "this violates decorum and tradition but not any actual laws" since 2016 to have confidence in laws and morals intersecting in a meaningful way

If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.

Edit: FYI this is from Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies, the same book that OP paraphrased

Senpai remembered me :3

I figured it was someone like that.

I seem to remember something similar about not registering as a foreign agent in 2016 & 2020. Funny how that keeps happening around the Trump campaign 🤔

Kinda curious. What is the illegal part? I'm aware that political actors are required to make certain declarations about money, and I would guess that's a part of this. That being said, there's all kinds of foreign influence on US politics, including financial. So I just wonder what's laws were broken in this case

Never diagnosed, but definitely feeling the 40 years of coping mechanisms. The problem is since I had COVID the symptoms are much much worse. And why, for the love of everything good and righteous, can I not send a text that says "I can't do that right now"!? It's like my brain says "If you ignore it long enough they'll forget". I hate my brain

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

I'm sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I'm not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I'm glad you have a system that works for you. I don't have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

Look, I get it. I'm putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I'm looking at the old heap I'm remembering all the little quirks it has that I've developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don't have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I've been using Windows since 3.11. I didn't have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

When this rig bites the dust, I'll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we're using Windows

Also HP is shit and I'd gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them

That would be me.

Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn't because Nvidia driver issues, and haven't tried again

Look, dudes, I'm bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I'd love to walk away from Windows but I don't have the mental bandwidth for that shit

And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There's nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.

Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will

TBH, I would believe it.

Someone pointed out that he has always had a paranoia about people harming him. For instance, preferring takeout to avoid poisoning. He has played a very dangerous game with very serious players as a property developer, and in the process has made a lot of enemies.

So yeah, one of his greatest fears was realized. What other fears lurk just past the penumbra of the stage lights? What waits in the wings, should he lose the election? If only he could control things a bit more, maybe get Joe back in the race…

At least he can control the remote, and maybe if he watches his assassination attempt again, he can control that too
