Imma be real… this isn’t even a GOP vs DNC thing, the government has always fucking haaaaated telework, especially since Covid let the genie out of the bottle.

It’s still going to be handled significantly worse than the DNC would though.

I mean… the write speed of my flash drive (or the port it’s plugged into) is usually my bottleneck

I’d rather just have an ethernet port on the damn printer. You shouldn’t have to cludge together basic network device functionality on devices that expensive

Secure networks have their head in their ass about flash media. So, discs.

Let’s put narcotics in the toothpaste.

Oh, I’m familiar with hoarders. Grandma is floor to ceiling; shed, two car garage, basement, both floors. I think the family plan is to let the city/bank deal with it when she goes. We won’t go inside.

Use a password manager; keep the porn accounts in a separate password vault that can be disposed of. Keep the password in a safe and/or include it in your will in some way.

I’m going to have to take over my dad’s setup someday and keep it running for my mom…

I’m less concerned about irradiation as I am about usable soil being evaporated, blown away, filled with debris, etc

I definitely agree. I don’t think it’ll happen, but I have very little faith in guardrails

In my eye, a lot of the value of Ukraine is the land itself for farming and (for russia) shipping capability; MAD is the only situation i would expect nukes to hit the ground, and I imagine another oligarch would knife Putin in the back before it gets to that. Then again, the US just elected trump, so oligarchs seem to be fairly spineless.

fuck it, kill us all with nuclear fire, at least it’s faster than slowly boiling to death from climate change.

Yeah, this has more or less sold me on giving arch a shot in the near future. I really need to get some fundamental Linux knowledge under my belt, and the arch wiki is legendary for being pretty comprehensive.

These things are extremely durable to my understanding, to resist being regularly gnawed on by sharks;

SEVERED!?!

This sort of thing:

There is still no valid reason to EVER step inside the thing itself, though, so it’s still kinda sketchy.

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that; i swung from that end during my childhood into my currently 240ish (233 as of a few minutes ago apparently) pounds.

I was taken off of appetite suppressing ADHD meds juuuust in time for puberty to hit like a brick and it royally fucked me up long term.

Diet is a shitty tightrope to balance across, especially combined with stress 😞

I’ve lost 5 pounds and substantially reduced my appetite in the last checks notes 12 days?

NGL, I am enjoying being full sooner. First week SUUUUCKED. I struggled to finish a 5 piece tender meal today, and I’m happy about it.

I think I can start ordering smaller meals now (my wallet will thank me) and not be quite the ravenous fat bastard I was for several hours after.

Holy shit i just now realized the only thing I’ve eaten since the tender meal for lunch (roughly 13 hours ago??) is an apple. And I’m not hungry.

Eyyy, glad to see I’m not the only one planning to leave Ohio; I’m eyeing the west coast myself, CA State job benefits look very attractive but I’d rather get any job (fully remote or in person) first and try for a state job later.

I need to get with my landlord this week and see about changing my lease renewal to month-to-month, since it doesn’t technically renew till January.

I’m mostly done getting rid of all the junk I don’t need and making what i still have more compact. I gotta work on my resume and start applying.

Literally the only thing I think I’ll miss from Ohio is Jungle Jims. Love that damn place. not living near my parents will suck for a bit, but frankly, I never wanted to live here anyway.

Obama? Thanks.

Males? Buttery.

Biden? Did that.

A transient obsessed with speed who befriends a minor and beats up a portly old man scientist with a doctorate.

That explains so much, I’ve never put a hole in a wall (except with a drill, to attach things).

He’s seen going through brick walls frequently.

We have concrete and cinderblock walls, too. We usually reserve that material for prisons, though. or schools. No better educational environment quite like painted white cinderblocks.
