LaurieWired does some interesting, if very niche, stuff on C++ programming techniques. I also enjoy some of Dave’s Garage (thinking of his recent video on CAN Bus architecture); I don’t love the generative graphics he sometimes uses but his lecture-style videos are very tightly-written and well-delivered. His interviews with Raymond Chen and Dave Cutler were great as well (and it’s nice to hear about the days before Microsoft became a slop factory).

You might enjoy Cathode Ray Dude; he doesn’t really do general tech videos (they’re more like TechMoan, deep dives down unique rabbit holes), and his release cadence is definitely that of a one-man operation, but I really like his presentation style and depth of research.

T2T was such a cool cat line.

I love this site so much. I’ve been a monthly supporter for a couple years now I think. Browsing and fiddling with the different generators is great (I use the Flying Fortress one for traffic noise and the Speech Blocker setting on the white noise one for coworkers), and creator’s blog posts are lovely.

Bbbbut, they also sell a payroll & HR system that is somehow even worse than SAP’s! The main goal of all their Fusion Cloud junk seems to be producing consulting fees, because it’s impossible to get anything to work without them.

My stick is better than bacoooon!

Maaan, I read The Cuckoo’s Egg by Cliff Stoll recently and was more than a little jealous of what y’all got to experience. Sounds like it was a blast : )

Sheesh, your self talk sounds just like mine, sorry for that and the upbringing that molded it : (. Check out ThePlantSlant on tiktok/YT, Liam has a lot of shorts about improving your relationship with food and that might be a good avenue to explore. If you are in the US and your family is in a position to be able to arrange liposuction treatment, the involvement & conversations with medical professionals would probably help more than anything. I suspect that would be less true outside the US and western Europe though.

We done made the good cookie that everybody like, and now we get to go home!

Yeeeah, I have an autoimmune disease (in the rheumatoid arthritis family, currently diagnosed as psoriasis) where steroids are the first-line treatment, and medical professionals don’t even recommend using topical steroids every day (which have localized effects like an inhaler), let alone oral steroids affecting your entire system.

I get the frustration, I freaking hate applying topical meds and would gladly take a pill once or twice a day instead, but the side effects would be way worse than my current symptoms if I did : (

We’ve had Sad Linus, but what about Meth Linus?

My poor Blåhaj…

A slide out case? That actually sounds pretty sweet

Saving this thread, I hope you get some useful replies. I have a Windows machine with 16GB of RAM and Firefox is consistently sitting on about 15.6 of them. (Yes, I have horrible tab discipline lol)

Don’t you hate it when your computer gets all bricked up?

That looks like T2’s Flexport site to me, wow! I’ve configured the backend for (an instance of) that beast, it is quite the mess!

Oh, to see those Loops of Henle…

Does that page have any actual content between the ads?
