When I need to do stupid tasks like timesheets and emails I unplug. The lack of screen space means I don’t get distracted.

When I need to do hard work I dock my system and use my dual 4Ks to maximize visual bandwidth.

I was a teenager who wanted to be a 1337 haxxor so I found out what warez were, and then wanted to play a bunch of games for free.

He’s still got the weight of the heavens, just in his mind.

I remember those days. Except back then you had the added challenge of finding space for it on your 1.2GB hard drive

Light pollution means you don’t even need clouds to miss the stars

For me it’s comfort. I’d rather deal with being a little cold outside over being too hot inside, especially if I’m only outside for a half hour tops.

80% of my work is on websites, and the other 20% is in a text editor or terminal. As long as I could map my old keyboard shortcuts I don’t see why not.

Did you have some wolf nipple chips on the side?

I didn’t realize I’d meet an expert on Go’auld genomics on the fediverse yet here you are

So what you’re saying is that Go’auld genetic memory could be a thing?

I’ve never found a rice cooker to be necessary. Just cover the rice with about an inch of water - i.e. the finger trick - bring it to a boil and then cover it and turn it off. The latent heat will cook it perfectly in about 20 minutes without any other thought.

I was sixteen so in a bunch of states that counts as an adult for some situations. We were on a band trip to Disney World to march in the Main Street parade, and we stayed at a very cheap motel that had a very scummy pool. Being an idiot sixteen year old I jumped in.

First mistake.

That night I woke up vomiting, but because my band needed me and I didn’t want to miss a free trip to Disney World I toughed it out. I was queasy but okay by the time we got there, and was okay until everybody had to meet up by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride to go “backstage” to get ready.

I was sitting on the wall there, next to my girlfriend, surrounded by classmates, when I trusted a fart.

Second mistake.

I told the band director and waited until everyone went backstage, and then proceeded to DESTROY a staff toilet while listening to two guys put their makeup on and bitch about the other cast members. Then I went back to the motel for a shower.

I ended up marrying that girl, who is now my ex, and who makes my life miserable every time she can.

Third mistake.

The soil under my house is about two inches nitrogen-free gravel with a solid hunk of clay underneath, so I’m thinking I’ll make roof tiles and trade those for food. Especially because I kill every green thing I touch.

Oracle stands for “One Raging Asshole Called Larry Ellison”

Mincemeat can be meat ground up with dried fruit so this isn’t too bad. It’s the blue color that’s off-putting.

I’d probably try it if it were bison or venison.
