If my years in a technical field have taught me anything, it’s that this half-cooked shit sandwich was made by people in sales and management who were all promoted for making the shareholders happy. It’s always up to the engineers to slap some shit together that they just learned about yesterday and was needed last week.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky could be up your alley. One of the best books I’ve read in recent memory

Yep

Getting old is strange. I keep trying to go to house or techno shows in the basement of restaurants or other weird places, convinced it’ll be a great time because I used to enjoy it. My knees hurt and I’d rather be home most of the time. It’s okay for things to have a beginning, middle, and end. Also, not to be nitpicky but just because I think it’s a fun word: it’s “baubles”

Me for the back 98.5% of Tears of the Kingdom

We live across a back alley from a hookah bar that was called “A Buck R 2 Lounge”. There’s a shed in the back where all sorts of ATVs and dirt bikes meet up to terrorize the neighborhood/city, it sounds like we live in the middle of a motocross course. They recently painted the building black with purple trim (as hideous as it sounds) and put a new sign up proclaiming the establishment is now called “Rico’s Rush”. I wish someone would just burn the place down already, starting with the shed…

Is there a programming language that uses the Aphex Twin logo or are programmers just big fans?

Don’t let Elon get his hands on that

Voyager has exceeded all of my expectations, it’s great!

We’ve had great luck with Bumble BFF. Moved to a new city and was surprised all of our friends fit in our house on my birthday 6 months after moving

I don’t think you could fit them over glasses. Luckily I’m nearsighted so it doesn’t really matter for my use case

Yeah, even works if you want to watch TV

I got the glasses with 90 degree prisms in them so you can read while laying down. The person on the product page looked like an idiot and thought it would be funny, but I’m on my 3rd pair now

I went over there for a little bit a couple days ago and it looks like business as usual in the comment sections, but the vibe was way off. Felt like I needed a shower after being there
