Wait, the new UI I got yesterday? With the servers and messages finally finally separated? I like it personally. I struggle to find my DMs on the desktop app vs servers and never found the overall UI intuitive. I am usually the first to get upset over UI changes (looking at you Google Messages!), but for once I am happy.

I was curious as I couldn't help but laugh, but damn dude. That is rough. Hilarious looking at it now, but I feel bad for whomever was at the receiving end.

Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE FUCKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the fuck does idiotic things like that? How did they not die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

It really depends on the shoe and what kind of working conditions, stress, and exposure to various elements they are getting. Sometimes it can be due to the way you walk too. You can get most shoes resoled and oftentimes they will fit better than they did originally. A good cobbler can repair separation issues too, where the bottom/sole is detaching. It never hurts to take them in and ask. They can do general maintenance too and clean them up.

I wouldn't say "really expensive", as it is all relative, but to me a good pair of boots is going to run in the ~$150-220 range. You can get some a little cheaper, but I am used to getting boots for construction.

I remember when that article came out I had a passing thought that it was probably JBS Grand Island. Low and behold... Not fucking surprised.

I worked at a company that did some upgrades for that system and that place is vile. It was hard not to puke in the parking lot some days and I remember walking around the outside of building (left), and seeing all of the spray downs on the way to the freezer.

Same. I watch everything with subtitles. Helps with the mild audio processing disorders that tend to go hand in hand with ADHD, Autism, or somewhere along the spectrum.

I do try and make them small and unobtrusive though. Especially when I can put them on the bottom where there are black bars due to aspect ratio differences.

Speaking of Nolan, I was able to watch Oppenheimer on 30mm at an independent theater and subtitles were actually turned on. It was much appreciated.

I setup my own VPN using this on a raspberry pi. Using the ikev2. I like DietPi for the OS.

Physical Therapy! Do the exercises/stretches. If you need to go back and ask a doctor for another round, do it. I get it though.

Sometimes KT tape can do wonders, but it really really depends. Personally, the best was with knees and arms. I wear a different kind of brace for my ankle, a Trilok, but there are apparently a whole bunch of similar ones now.

Other times you just suffer in silence...

Only exception I found is bacon. Get one of those big metal baking sheets with 1-2" sides, and line it with baking paper. Lay your strips of bacon down, without them touching, and put in the oven. Set to around 425 and your bacon should be done in about 10-15 minutes once the preheat beep goes off. You figure out the time that works with your oven and bacon thickness. Memory is a little fuzzy.

I read that somewhere once and it comes out way better. Otherwise the top side never gets browned and then you try flipping them to make up for it and it sucks. This way you don't have to mess with it and the paper absorbs most of the grease. Easy to clean up.

Reminds me of Elliot from Mr. Robot who rewired his brain to only see Evil Corp.

I love the whole thing to be honest. I am happy to have replies days later. Reddit posts would go "stale" so fast and even if you did comment, you were more than likely to be torn to shreds for existing. It isn't perfect here, but that is because we are people. Getting even half a voice is far better than the anxiety inducing nightmare the Internet tends to be. If I don't want to argue with someone, I just don't respond. If I or someone else end up replying days later, awesome!

I feel a lot more comfortable chiming in once in a while here. The Internet will always be the Internet, but getting even a tiny bit of human connection is amazing. Going from letters, phones, AOL, to now is a miracle. We may be fucked as a species, but sometimes the little things are enough.

Now, go watch Contact. That movie is my absolute favorite movie of all time. Ghost hugs for all!

Exactly. We do industrial automation. I did the field life at my last job spending months at construction sites building these giant warehouses with conveyor and automation. New job is more focused on robotics, but plenty of conveyor too. It is a fun field and I highly encourage Software Engineers/Developers/etc to look more into doing Controls Engineering and work in this industry. It sounds boring on paper a lot of the time, but I have never been happier.

I am so glad my new job doesn't test unless if there is an industrial accident or in very specific dangerous positions where it is warranted. Handbook basically says don't show up to work fucked up. What you do on your own time is your business.

It is a huge breach of privacy, especially when you have to start disclosing legally prescribed medications that they test for. Why a company has a right to my body, my medical history, or any other private information is nuts.

The fact that there is a system, run by Equifax of course, where employers can choose to hand your work history, paystubs, and other information to and then other companies can then pay to get access to is also nuts. You can request to have it frozen, but who the hell even knows to do this? It is messed up.

I code daily on mine, by choice. I also have no issue coding on Linux and will happily spend all day in a CLI. Homebrew is just as easy as using apt or what have you, at least in my personal experience.

It isn't always perfect.There was a bit of head scratching over shared libraries one time, until I figured out what stupidity I had to do to make Apple happy, but that is the only notable thing I can remember.

However, coding on Windows can be super painful depending on the language, especially with all of the backwards paths. The only coding work I enjoy doing on Windows is C#. Worst case WSL2 is around when I need some sanity.

No matter what, I have any of them available to me and the battery life on a MacBook Air is amazing. The corporate laptop is actually a decent machine and the size and weight is pretty good, especially considering the monstrous bricks the previous models were. Mobile workstation woes I guess. The most amusing part is AutoCAD 2024 running smoothly on the Mac. I never knew it could be that snappy.

It wasn't until I moved and had a Wegmans that I pretty much never see a cart outside of their sheds. The couple times I have seen it was at the "entitled rich people" location. Wegmans has enough cart returns around that you have absolutely no excuse. They even put the reserved spots for pregnant and those with children right next to the returns so it is easier for them.

Do not approach the dog park.

Brilliant! I don't entirely disagree with that. I had vim forced on me at my old job, including actual vi on some of the more ancient systems. I got so used to it that I don't really know how to use nano and definitely not emacs.

I never understood what the big deal was. Write. Quit. If you can't remember that 'w' means write and 'q' means quit, I don't know how else to help. Add in some decent options in your vimrc and it is pretty comfortable. I am in no way some guru who knows every shortcut and fancy command out there, but I like using it and it is the first thing I install on a new system.

I am not one to judge what text editor, OS, phone, car, or computer you like. You do you. If I was a sysadmin that had to deal with people who really shouldn't be on those systems and that was an easy way to discourage people from screwing with it, then hell yeah.

Every time I see Quercus mentioned, I hear it in Sir Lora's voice. That game is amazing and I am having a blast with Baldur's Gate 3. Surprisingly, the iPad Pro version of DOS2 is really great, especially on the big one. They did the touch controls right.

I kind of had that happen last week, but I use a waterpick for flossing, which makes a huge difference. I don't drink soda or eat much sugar, but I was somehow praised by the hygienist and dentist for having such clean teeth when I am bad at doing the whole brush and floss daily. I am not great at habits, but I went to town that morning with the waterpick and passed inspection. Had x-rays too. 😁

However, I do realize I have to do better as this isn't always the case. For those of you with tight spaces, get a water pick and be done with it.

I love those things too!
