Sounds a bit like the Slate truck to me.

I remember when I graduated and went to New York for an internship. I went to the fridge and took a big swig of Coke and was like, whats going on with my teeth and mouth? It feels weird.

Then a few people told me and I was like, why's Coke so popular in the US if it tastes like this? How come this Mexican Coke everyone is talking about isn't more popular?

I gave up sugary soft drinks for the most part now. I do have it occasionally but it's like once a week or two weeks at most.

lol he's the DCEU superman actor as well as for the Netflix The Witcher series, The Tudors, Man from UNCLE, Mission Impossible: Fallout.

I don't think it's relevant to this specific meme though. He's just handsome as all hell.

Amy [Adams] said, “Whenever I looked into his eyes, I started giggling because he has this effect on you. I think most women feel the same way about Henry. He’s dreamy.”

There's a good NPR podcast in the same vein as this: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/06/21/533840751/episode-779-shrimp-fight-club

It's about congressman talking about government waste and targeting the sciences. It's like, you don't get the "cool" applications without the "weird" research. I'm doing a horrible job describing it, but I thought it was a good listen.

I can't remember which one of my phones, probably a Samsung that had Facebook installed and couldn't get rid of it. People were like, you can just not open it or something. There's a good reason I don't want it on my device.

I'm having trouble sourcing it now, but I think he got over that. What was posted was initial reaction but I swore he was trying to embrace it afterwards.

I think that's why I enjoyed Gone Girl. I didn't have to like him and his smugness or whatever worked into the character.

I've had to give up caffeine due to the persistent headaches. I really envy everyone able to just enjoy it.

Take it easy Pasiphae.

Why no games?

I'm always concerned that my weight will break it. I don't weigh that much but it's an irrational fear I have.

I put my clothes and stuff on it when I shower though.

The rich will fix it by putting out disinformation campaigns telling you it's all fake.

balkanization

For uninformed people like myself:

Balkanization is the process of a country or region fragmenting into smaller, often hostile units, typically driven by ethnic, cultural, religious, or geopolitical differences. The term originates from the Balkan Peninsula, a region that has experienced significant fragmentation throughout history, and the term is now used more broadly to describe similar processes elsewhere.

It's Chinese white alcohol with a fairly high alcohol content. The word itself is literally just the pinyin (aka the way to write Chinese words using an English keyboard) written out.

So "Bai" is white and "jiu" is alcohol.

lol, so I don't think there's any racist connotation to it, although it can seem that way.

lol yes I understand I know I sound silly. My home/end aren't typical on my keyboard. It's like function and stuff, which breaks my flow for something I do so often.

I really want to root for Nintendo but they make it hard.

Opening up my steam library from a console was such a big WTF moment and then being able to suspend games was so mind-blowing.

It's still not that beefy for triple-A but I'm considering getting GeForce Now running on it.

I use VS Code mainly and I always want to go to the end of a line and beginning. On Mac it's like CTRL+E and CTRL+A respectively. On Windows, I was like, I guess I could do Windows Key and arrows but it felt off. Installing Vim bindings on VS Code just fixed this all for me. I love it.

[edit] for non-VIM users, you can skip words and go-to braces (and delete what's in them) and highlight within quotes very easily ... for function search, the built-in VS Code is really good too. I also have Harpoon installed to hop between files. If it doesn't appeal to you, then that's cool too! Whatever keeps you in there. [/edit]

I've tried setting up my own vim stuff and I always bail out because I can't figure something out. I feel like I need to really sit with it and I'd have the perfect set up for me.

Lastly, I've installed vim for zsh and it's the best. I can hop all around my terminal and highlight and remove things. It's so beautiful.

Not a word of a lie, I saw a "segmentation fault" error in JavaScript.

Can't remember how we resolved it, but it did blow my mind.
