Well shit... those are the only two books that I read recently, maybe a similar word.... I left my kindle at home today I know that keeps track of words I've looked up and now I'm curious

Was it Name of the Wind or Wise Man's Fear? I just read both of those and I remember looking up one of the words and going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Poseidon's Kiss™️

Probably because it's conducted heat from your heater core and it's not fire directly heating your cabin. Water from the combustion is expelled through your exhaust. ¯(ツ)_/¯

That mugshot is the face of indignance.

Lol there's been a stray cat living in my apartments courtyard. My fiance saw it from our window and was slike "Hey a cat! If she comes to me can we keep it?" And I was like hell yeah, it's a free cat.

She did not catch the cat :(

Honestly I wouldn't know if I didn't have to take nutrition 101 in college.

Actually who am I kidding if I didn't know I probably would've googled it.

I'm aware, and have a spare pi, but I'm too lazy. (Being honest, lol)

I have ublock origin on my browser but laying on the couch watching TV hits different. It's a smart TV but an older variety.

If nothing else, I love it for the fact that I'm not bombarded with targeted ads.

I'm annoyed with ads like most of us, but I'm hitting a breaking point. I was watching YT on my TV yesterday and the amount of ads now is ridiculously over the top. I was tired of my Spotify songs so I put on the radio, big mistake.

Being here feels a little better suited for me compared to the rest of social media. Everything else is constant shilling and manipulation, I'm tired of it.

This has been real bad in Chicago, where there's no left green arrow people scoot up to the left turn lane and floor it when the light turns green. Endangering themselves and everyone around them to get 3 cars ahead in the same traffic.

True, I work in ecomm and we definitely have database exports being passed around relatively freely. No passwords obviously, but segmentation data, emails, addresses, phone numbers, etc.

We have good IT security but it still doesn't feel great.

I'm one of the Excel guys, I live by tables, PowerQuery, VBA/UDFs, and loading data from APIs and SQL databases. If any of that functionality lives in Sheets I've never been able to figure it out productively.

My last contract used Sheets and I felt like a toddler, it's too different for my tastes.

😬

Maybe just a quick game of overwatch first.

Same, I had a birthday recently and my wife got me a kindle. I'm not great at reading and often have to look up words as I go, but that's easy. I just finished The Name of the Wind and am on to the second book. I highly recommend it as it was easy to read and very engrossing.

I read every chance I get now.

Thanks. I'm 37 now and got pressured to go to college. I'm kinda glad I have my degree as it has opened some doors, but literally nothing I learned there applies to any of my higher earning jobs.

I would've been better off not being saddled with debt (still am)

Not sure why, but the high power LEDs you see in cars do this if they're cheap or done poorly. Mine came with like an ant-flicker ballast or something.

For sure, I was making good money before but got laid off during COVID. Took a massive pay cut finding a new job but am finally back to where I was before.

Even with the money I make it's a struggle. I'm not starving but I'm not going to be able to afford a house any time soon.
