  • It is in an apartment so its probably a cheap piece of junk (frigidaire or hotpoint, one of those brands i think) but it just cant maintain a high temperature; cant stir fry, cant maintain a rolling boil for consistent pasta, etc

  • Stoves with Sensi-temp burners; they've got a weird little spring loaded disc in the center of the burner. Cant even boil fucking water consistently because it shuts itself off over a certain temperature and doesn't come back on for far too long.

  • A week? What is this, professional hour?! Try a few years.

  • Disassociate and make funny small talk while i internally have an anxiety attack.

  • Ngl, id be down for it. I'm just so done with reading news headlines, wondering if i need to be afraid of my own government; and if so, where it lands on the scale of "careful what you say out loud" to "flee for my goddamn life".

  • Yeah, if the CIA ever wants to talk to you, you're not in for a good time.

  • And here i was thinking about an entire third different direction; using "fitness" and "readiness" requirements the purge the military

  • These are quite acceptable terms.

  • Bob looks like he would enjoy sitting with somebody while they read a book. And possible a larger cat-tree platform.

  • Oof, yeah, thats awful.

    Never been reliant on wifi tbh, I've generally been an Ethernet purist and have never owned a personal laptop (just desktops). Even for work laptops id use either onboard ethernet or a dongle

  • Same, but grapheneOS and max screen width (big hands / fat fingers).

  • Does wifi chipset matter on a laptop? Its just an m.2 Key E chip, should be easily replaceable. Cant imagine manufacturers would solder that on, its not like RAM

  • I'd argue at a certain depth in an OS its actually harder to do things with a GUI than a command line

    • Blues Brothers
    • Any Mel Brooks movie
  • A lot of stuff seems to start breaking around 5 or 6 digit numbers of users.

  • Click clack go the math rocks.

  • Ray Bradbury also has a good array of short stories, at least one or two of which are sort of precursors to Fahrenheit 451

    Edit: its been too long since i read Fahrenheit 451... just started (and finished) re-reading it for the second time in my life, in the last couple hours. i still think it might be one of the more likely dystopias that await us.

    It feels appropriate, somehow, that my first read through was a pirated PDF copy of it from some random corner of the internet.

    I'm left feeling oddly... hopeful. Like I've been reminded of a part of being human that is good.
