  • Lists. Music. Earplugs for if I can’t remove myself from an overstimulation situation. Reminders and calendar events for everything. Keep all my stuff in the same spot. Take walks every day. Try to remember to eat and sleep well by keeping a strict routine. The last thing is crucial for me.

  • Soap is caustic no matter how much goat milk and whatever bullshit they put in it here, and I have very sensitive skin. Go ahead and leave some on your body for a few hours without rinsing and report back when you see for yourself.

  • Convo with my wife:

    “There’s something wrong with the lotion in the shower. It’s burning my skin like Nair or something.”

    “??? What lotion?”

    “The big bottle that says goat milk on it or whatever.”

    “Honey, that is body wash.”

  • I had a guy busy moving his family across the US when they cancelled remote work. Management decided to do layoffs while they were en route. He was on the list. At the time, I was actively interviewing to GTFO of that place and when we were chatting about work stuff I brought up that a position I saw at one would be perfect for his skill-set. He seemed worried and confused by my insistence that he apply. Anyway, as expected he showed up and they canned him before I could even walk in the door. But he got the other job and ended up loving it.

  • Gentoo is fantastic for learning. It forced me to get intimate with internals I had no exposure to before. And I learned a lot of little tricks from it that accelerated my career. Or at least made it easier.

    I’d try to find something a bit more beefy if you plan on compiling almost everything. And once you get it where you like it, take a backup or system image you can restore to. Because when it breaks, it’ll be a lot less painful to start over.

  • I’ve had to use it for a week now. It has the most braindead, unintuitive UI I’ve ever seen. Unbelievably inefficient. So much wasted space. Parts that don’t make any sense at all. Notifications are a crap shoot. It crashes during conferences and blows through memory like mad. Whoever signed off on this trash is certifiably insane. Skype was uglyish and clunky but at least it worked.

  • Dated someone like this. She needed constant external validation. Had self-esteem issues. Narcissistic. Never satisfied. Extreme anxiety. Separation anxiety. Hot and cold all the time. Always hopping from new infatuation to the next.

    I was already deep in corporate and she couldn’t understand why I was content when I found something stable. We split when I got tired of the constant cheating and dumped her. Everything was a pissing contest and she always had to win. She was furious I dumped her first, even.

    She’s successful now but still never content. Found out she was bipolar which explains so much from the past.
