’May you live in interesting times’ is the worst thing one can wish on a citizen of Discworld, especially on the distinctly unmagical Rincewind, who has had far too much perilous excitement in his life and can’t even spell wizard.

That’s not a silly thing though. Pretty much all jobs are temporary.

I’m at an MSP that services quite a few school districts. We lose techs to them somewhat regularly.

Utopias are inherently dystopian in they only work when everyone wants the same things and everyone is bound by strict rules. There is no such thing as a utopia.

Finding the correct bolt size, thread pitch, material, and trusting that when I order grade 8 bolts, I’m actually getting grade 8 makes Amazon quite a pain in the ass.

If it’s something I don’t care too much about, yea Amazon is fine. But when I want to trust my life to it or it’s going to take some serious stress I’m going to want McMaster.

I’ve been tempted to create a bot that does nothing but search comments in code for misspelled words and create pull requests for them.

If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I’d have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.

I’ll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.

Break up monopolies.

Healthcare.

Enforce fairness and ethical journalism.

Regulate social media. (Influencers, advertisements, disinformation.)

Black and white as VR

Bunker gear isn’t using asbestos anymore. It would be nomex and kevlar now.

Not super scary unless your from the area. But there is a prison by me where back in the 80s, a man named Kevin Cooper escaped. He made his was over to a house a couple miles away and broke inside.

He killed the two parents there, one of their children, and another child that was there for a sleep over with an axe. He tried to kill another 9 year old child there as well, but they survived.

A true life actual axe murderer.

For me, it’s an expression of a particular set of my creativity. The decorations, the show element of it, engaging in various fantasy worlds and dressing up.

It’s just fun, and freedom to have fun doing whatever you like!

People are crazy. Feeling threatened by telling someone “hey, you didn’t vote last time. Please make your voice heard by voting” is wearing your persecution complex on your sleeve.

Fragile fucks.

Get treated for ADHD and depression sooner.

A hoy hoy

Oh man. That with a nice, cold drink. Often a beer or cocktail. The dichotomy is glorious.

Sweet, sweet, naked, hot bliss.

Tons of communities. I don’t think any users though. Some I know are trolls but if I don’t challenge them, then they may influence people who aren’t as aware of their agenda.

Mostly on this account I’ve blocked tons of porn and anime and sports.

My NSFW account I block anything not porn and all the porn I’m not interested in.

Being able to build something with off the shelf parts is an art.

Considering LEDs are so good at producing a very tight wavelength, I wonder if this could be replicated with more energy efficient lamps.

Or if non visible spectrum lights can be used to make similar alpha channel masks that don’t affect lighting the scene.

Mac and cheese with whatever random protein is like… A norm. Bacon? Hot dog? Chicken?

Yes.

These places have their goods and bads.

Disney in the past weren’t nearly so exploitive and expensive. They truly did give an extremely fun and entertaining experience to the guests. They did much better at treating their employees. They have pushed technological boundaries on the entertainment front. They built parks that have genuinely made millions happy. They aren’t perfect as a corporation and I have a shitload of gripes with their management and leadership, but they put out a pretty damn good product.

Nowadays, they do underpay and over charge. They are cashing in on nostalgia and not doing enough to foster that in the next generation. They’re no longer targeting family fun but are instead putting more towards the mid-20s to late 30s market. I haven’t felt it was worth the money in a long time.

Sea world. While they have done terrible things especially in the Orcas, they also put on a very, very entertaining theme park. They do fund a lot of research and coastal animal refuges.
