I don’t have any ethical issues with it, I just don’t find meat appetizing anymore. I’m all for having the option for people who want it though.

ChromeOS is Linux.

This is incredibly short-sighted. Having your business model hitched to a single vendor is just asking to screwed by whatever walled garden that vendor puts up. There’s a reason Valve is pushing Linux.

This is why I keep my OS installs on different drives.

Just don’t ask for support for your dual boot not detecting Windows. God help you.

It starting 0.5 seconds slower than usual saved us all a bit of a headache as it turns out.

I only ever get push polls, very annoying.

I only play online games with friends because I don’t feel like dealing with fuckheads in my spare time. That does mean there are a lot of games which are probably cool but I won’t play because they are meant to be played in lobbies.

Y’all motherfuckers need Torm.

I use the term folks to refer to my parents but that may be regional or generational.

Or his wife pegs him on his birthday.

Anything sour and sweet. Unfortunately these tend to be very acidic so they make my teeth hurt.

Second place is black licorice. I did try salt licorice and it was ok, but I prefer unsalted.

At the moment I am intensely bored at work. The job is not challenging and most of my stress comes from dealing with broken software, useless vendors or a few business units that vacillate on requirements. But:

• Most of my internal customers are very nice
• My team is eccentric but tolerable.
• I am compensated well.

But I’m still looking for a new position because I feel my brain is melting by staying here.

This just results in deniable encryption.

I could never get into the new ones except for FONV since I felt the writing in 3 and 4 didn’t capture the satirical feel of the first two games.

It would be a catastrophe for sure, but there are some reasons to be hopeful:

Researchers have been studying this bug for awhile and human vaccines could be ramped up more quickly than with COVID.

Further, there are specific mutations that would be key for rapid human-human spread and the variant infecting these cattle don’t have those mutations (yet).

Cattle are not as good a transition species to humans as, for example, pigs. So while we should be watching this, it’s not quite as alarming as it could be.

I’m not convinced Paradox knows what they are doing as publisher. Millenia was similarly pushed out the door before it was ready (though in a better state than Cities: Skylines 2). And both games pushed out the door in the last week of the quarter in a transparent effort to boost their earnings. The shortsightedness of the publisher is now impacting their reputation in ways that will be hard to recover. I no longer consider buying Paradox published titles until they are at least a year old or have at least a few months of reviews showing they are solid (like AoW4).

So many ways to have fun in DF!

I used openAI/whisper to transcribe several thousand .wav files full of human speech (running locally). Much faster than trying to listen to them myself. It wasn’t perfect but the error rate was within acceptable levels.
