Really stuck it to the boss by burning a raster image too. That fucker took a bit.

The slow erosion of my enjoyment of YouTube inspired me to get Plex set up and start rewatching some classic shows I love. It’s been a great experience. No ads, no wait times, just entertainment.

And at least when I tried to pihole the tracking bullshit, it got mad and stopped working.

I read The Giving Tree, I’m pretty sure they want to be cut down.

This headline was the subtle push I needed to donate to Videolan. What an amazing project, we’re lucky to have it.

I called my Mom yesterday and asked her:

“Hey Mom, have you ever read the Heathcliff comic?” “Well sure” “Is it…supposed to be funny?”

She just laughed at me.

Yes. They are involved in a ton of industries, legal and illegal. For example, if you have eaten an avacado recently, there’s an excellent chance it’s a conflict avacado with money being paid to the cartel by farmers for “protection”.

“It’s not only avocados. Mexican organised crime has long mutated away from ‘just’ drugs trafficking,” he said. “Today, the model is this: you control a given territory, and within in it you exploit whichever commodity is locally available. That includes avocados, but also limes, papayas, strawberries, illegal logging and mining, to name but a few.”

I’ve seen whispers of a cat. Plus that fairy godmother looks awfully feline.

From what I can tell, Heathcliff is about two birds who sit in a tree and make matter-of-fact observations about the world around them.

A cat is involved somehow.

The scary thing is the only reason he was safe and didn’t get swatted is because he already had armed guards protecting him.

My mom kept trying to go the speed limit in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. Too cute.

Very easy. It’s a setting and I believe “contacts only” is the default value.

I think it’s photoshopped from this: https://patents.google.com/patent/US4320756A/en

everyone has been logged out

It is, but we’re three years too late.

By golly, that’s my default state!

+1 to this. I found myself wanting to watch them/hear them. I also found myself wanting to know what their favorite (fill in the blank) was. You know someone, but sometimes those specific tangible things about their preferences get forgotten.

I would imagine this is just a warmup to get a feel for the course.

That’s kind of shocking.

This could be a really interesting short story. Aliens, but very tiny and focused on interacting with things on earth as a similar scale. Abducting bugs, crop circles in your back yard, etc.
