I do some e-wasting for a number of big companies and have piles of old laptops. I've taken to giving the laptops to people that need computers and the ones with Linux don't taken. I literally can't give away Linux computers. They can buy their own windows licenses.

You can expect this to get much worse next year. Planned Parenthood is one of the most important institutions in the fight against venereal diseases in this country and the Republicans hate it with a passion that burns like herpes.

When Mike Pence took over Indiana he managed to shoot it to the top of the chart in syphilis case diagnosis within a given ZIP code.

I really hope they do. An example needs to be made of crunchy roll too, but the individual human person who made this decision and anyone who participated by opening the mail themselves needs to be hauled into court prosecuted, and then spend some time in prison.

One time I went to the restaurant DAMON BAEHREL. I was informed afterwards that it had a 10-year waiting list and only seated 100 people a month. Despite having regularly commuted between the Midwest and the East Coast, getting there felt like the longest road trip I've ever taken since I had to go with my mother-in-law and some of it is on a gravel road.

I had to Google DAMON BAEHREL to spell it and I'm not going to bother retyping it.

It was far and away the most pretentious, absurd, cartoonishly fancy experience I've ever had, and I've dressed up in antique ceremonial Moroccan robes for a banquet at the art museum in the city I grew up in. At the art museum I sat next to the mayor's mother in a room of 200 people conversely, about 30 people total could fit into DAMON BAEHREL.

I thought the art museum banquet was fancy, but when I was little I thought Boston Market and IBC root beer were fancy.

DAMON BAEHREL was the kind of place that serves a dozen 'courses' but each one is like one cracker one sliver of cheese and one spritz of condiment with maybe a sliver of sausage made from some bespoke farm animal. He insisted that the water we were drinking was actually unreduced tree sap. Everything was served on various slabs of wood some with the bark still on it. The slabs were so much larger than the food It looked like putting a coin on a serving platter for each course.

I just felt embarrassed every time I looked at the Damon and his staff. They had clearly heard his bullshit so many times that it was hard for them to feign credulity anymore.

Anyway, that shit was way too fancy for me. Clearly it was just wasted on me.

When I saw my first textbook that had an XKCD comic in it I had A little bit of a squeal of joy. I'm old What do I know.

There is a great mod for that!

It brings the wiki directly into the game so you can look up anything directly with the mouse and F1.

He also has a completely unhinged video about a unibikal I'm sure I misspelled that but I know that's what he made because he's completely unhinged.

I love this video so much but his entire channel is amazing.

The running of a super Nintendo game on Nintendo is batshit insane. This guy understands computer science and engineering in a way that makes it just seem like magic to me, and I'm a computer scientist who works as an engineer.

 

Sorry for the blurry vernier

They seem to spin some kind of silk everywhere they go. They seem to be no longer than about 4 mm. I noticed them crawling up things and then dropping down on a line of silk. I've started catching them by putting little sticks up in the air attached everywhere that I find them. They tend to gather at the top of the stick for easy rapture by vacuum.

 

I feel like they probably have something to do with light level detection or infrared signal receiving but I genuinely have no idea. They could just as likely be part of the sound system for all I know.

 
 

I will try not to over explain the life out of it
