Oh man, the people leaving when he starts. Amazing.

That sort of thing isn’t anything new. My grandpa made my dad burn his baseball cards because he thought they were becoming “idols.”

I’m always amazed that my dad managed to rebuild their relationship later in life.

Had a smoke detector going off randomly one night and I pulled it down only to have mama crawl all over my hand as the babies were running around like maniacs, some casting off. Mama still had a bunch on her when I got the smoke detector outside.

I started off with fan grills and led fans and cold cathode lighting way back when.

Now, my gaming PC, which is about due for its 5 yr update again, is in an old antec sonata case from 2008ish. I’ll probably splurge on a new one next round, but if it’s fancy, it will be one of those unassuming fractal cases with wood.

No lights if I can help it.

It’s Nvidia that that jumps out in your question.

They are /were notorious for lackluster support on Linux and sleep/wake issues are /were significant.

IIRC you still need to configure a few bits to get it to work properly (maybe just a systems service enable?).

… And it looks like it’s still a constant issue.

My wife has an anaphylactic allergy to whey. I guess we’ll now be waiting for the day she has a reaction to “vegan” milk.

I have a significant colony of false widows (steatoda) around the house. They’re very chill and mostly stay outside and make webs in corners.

Yeah, also a dev here. I’d be so happy if they’d parted ways with the 90s legacy bits at some point. Just glad there are enough parsing libraries that I’ll never need to care (right? Please tell me I’m right!).

This is probably my first time ever using it for an appropriate purpose as this team’s technical docs are destined for the press (and digital distribution). They just have no idea how to software, so I was brought in to build bridges between and ultimately simplify all their tools.

https://pdf2docx.readthedocs.io/ seems to fit the bill. I can’t vouch for it.

PDF is such a curse. I say this as a person currently tasked with deploying new mysteriously complex enterprise PDF conversion software for technical documents. The rabbit hole is so deep.

Less junk, fewer things. Less anxiety, fewer panic attacks.

… And I already reached semantic satiation with “fewer.”

You’ve gotten a lot of solid practical advice, so I’ll take it to theory.

Learn how it works and what happens when you push that clutch in and let it out.

Here’s a video with a lot of detail and animation.

I was made treasurer of the philosophy club by emailing the list at college to join. We met one time because the president and VP were excited someone joined.

There were no funds to manage.

I’ll nominate an underdog: Alphaville.

Basically unknown, jerks you back and forth between genres, simultaneously art house and amateur, and the main character is named Lemmy Caution. Sure he’s a government agent, but he’s the good guy out to destroy the mind control computer on a distant planet by pitting daughter against father.

Edit: and I forgot to mention it’s in French.

Besides drip, Euki (github) is another option on both the play store and iOS.

Note that both of these options are maintained by tiny teams with limited resources.

How did you know the code to my sister’s bike lock from 30 years ago??

They can depreciate these assets over their useful life, because unlike your soggy flesh sack, these are capital expenses, not operating expenses.

… For now. I’m sure there are libertarians that think you should be able to sell yourself as the depreciable asset you are.
