Noxy

IWW organizer training is really good. I took OT101 in Seattle and part of that included actually roleplaying a group of employees walking into a manager’s office and presenting demands. Pretty cool, very informative, totally worthwhile even if I have never really had a chance to exercise what I learned

the handjobs would be quite the logistics challenge tho

my gosh, japanese curry while backpacking sounds incredible

Japanese curry is peak savory food. Nothing like Indian or Thai curries at all, very much its own thing. Not usually spicy at all, but can be if you want.

Sort of between a sauce and a stew. Sometimes with veggies in it, sometimes just a homogenous thick delicious stuff. Goes great over rice, and especially with breaded things like tofu or, if you eat meat, chicken or pork. The curry sticks to the breading and, fuck, my mouth is watering just typing this up.

If you’re curious, see if any Japanese restaurants near you make Japanese curry, or try the grocery store roux boxes like in the OP. Basically just cook down some onions and add the roux with water, carrots, and potatoes and then simmer for a bit. Can add whatever else you’d like, tho carrots and potatoes go really well with it.

They are not comparable in my view. One is owned by Facebook, known for MITMing smartphones via a VPN app and successfully intercepting and decrypting traffic from competing apps.

The other is widely regarded to be the best option for most people and most uses cases for privacy and security.

Taycan Cross Turismo or Sport Turismo is incredible. It had better be for its sticker price tho. But they’re probably great on the used market.

fucking river crossings

fucking BANGER soundtrack too.

Work less if you can. Anything over 7 hours a day or more than five days a week for any tech worker is too much in my opinion.

Another thought, after a long meeting, go practice for a little while to decompress.

nooch fucking rules. I love to absolutely bury a big bowl of popcorn in the stuff

Israel too tho

Oh also be aware that almost no banking apps will work on it. Many of them will falsely identify your phone as rooted (even when it isn’t) and the isolated GP I think is what trips up the rest.

“almost no” is a wild exaggeration. Many do. All mine work perfectly fine. Sure, some do pull this shit, but it’s very much not an “almost no” situation

Yes. I switched from iPhone five years ago and never looked back. Do it.

I enthusiastically agree, even with a Taycan in my garage

an “exotic supercar” can be had used for like $30k tho

Moved from a condo with an insanely nice Wolf gas range to a house with a cheapo electric range that we promptly replaced with an induction range.

Never going back. Induction is fucking wonderful magic. So quick, so powerful, so controllable, and having most of the surface remain cool is such a nice side benefit too

Tokyo Jungle was amazing and it’s a damn shame it hasn’t been ported or remade for any other platform!

Wolf hunting season is scheduled to run from 1 July to 31 October.

I wish complete failure and intense suffering on every single human that hunts wolves.

I vaped weed in the afternoon during business hours a few times when I was absolutely not getting shit done. A lot of the time it shook up my mental context well enough that I actually got started on the thing. Not always though, and generally this is just plain bad advice, especially if you’re not working a knowledge job like tech work

napster, kazaa, limewire, audiogalaxy are the big ones I remember in the pre-torrent era

hell I remember there were PCs at some kiosk at the mall that random folks had installed Napster on and a bunch of random folks had downloaded random stuff on.

I burned so many audio CDs. Even if it was just to add one single new song, since one song could take like an bour or so to download before we got broadband.

When mp3 cd players became a thing, that was a magical time. Before iPods and before the Creative Nomad, WAY cheaper, and some could even read CD-RWs.

I even sold a few mix CDs, with nicely formatted printouts for the slim jewel cases.

What an era.
