Hey! That’s my IP address whenever the script kiddies are boasting in chat. How did he get it?

More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)

Why does everyone always type 7 asterisks?

Can you teach me how to do that on my Geocities page?

My face when I realize the dude in this meme is probably mid-40s these days.

I literally make a new branch. clone, and use an external merge tool (beyond compare) when my branch has fallen too far behind. I don’t trust any of the automated processes.

Unless you work a trade, I would go with Harbor Freight for everything except cordless tools. If you wear the Harbor Freight tool out replace it with something higher quality. For cordless, I don’t know. I have Dewalt and wonder about others. I mostly avoid cordless now.

For trades, see what your coworkers are using. Do you want them borrowing your batteries? (No) Do you want to borrow theirs? (Do you want them to dislike you?)

Gagarin is one of those super human people that makes me feel grossly inadequate. Look at him. Qualified technically, insane enough to get strapped into a ballistic missile and then eject out of it during re-entry, and handsome too. Cosmonauts and Astronauts are so many sigmas from normal that it’s hard to believe they’re the same species as the rest of us.

Je suis Charlie.

I am 7 pretty much everyday, sometimes with a touch of 8 and 4.

Big Bosses later ask middle managers: “Why is turnover so high? Are you not fostering a fun environment?” The 40 % raise for job hopping is a real mystery.

Don’t forget Bigfoot, the rake, and skin walkers.

Soon it will be a honeypot to filter AI generated applications. I can exclude the resumes of applicants who claim to meet my bogus desired qualification.

I am reminded of Dan Quayle’s “I took Latin in high school.” Offered as proof that he could relate to the Latino community.

Vscode is my favorite. Now there is a sentence I never expected to type.

I just like usleep better than nanosleep.

The Joycons were an absolute disaster and ruined the portable experience. I got 4 of them repaired. When they inevitably broke again, I gave up and bought a pro controller. Precariously balancing the Switch on your lap or setting it on furniture so you can use a pro controller is not a handheld. Still had lots of fun with the games on it, but the experience should have been better. Nintendo has building controllers for decades, you would think they could at least begin to approach competency.

This Gen Xer is planning to die relatively young. Retirement definitely is not in the cards. I have a permanent chronic health condition. My wife has already fought cancer once. Healthcare is impoverishing. I will probably die at my desk. I hope I doesn’t demoralize my younger coworker friends.

I guess I could easily slave another 25 years. Mostly I hope to live long enough to pay off my house, so my kid can actually own one. I feel like I should have bought him one ten years ago, but I couldn’t afford to.

I am going to buy a subscription for a little while just so I can ask it to code Roko’s Basilisk for me.

I am friends with a guy that wrote a bug that caused a major PageNet outage. He’s almost famous his bug was that bad.
