A lot of mine takes the form of seeking dumb instant gratification, so that may be subjective. 🤷‍♂️

Different song, but another banger!

I forgave this song for existing once it gave us Weird Al’s Word Crimes.

You mean Tim Apple?

I went this route as a compromise with my PS4 years ago. Even imported some harder to find games over time. Then the drive died and I discovered Sony ties some hardware ID on it to the serial number of the motherboard and restricts service to “authorized repair shops”. So fuck all of that, I’m sticking to PC 100% and pirating the hell out of exclusives for emulation down the road. My backlog is impossible to complete anyway.

You may be thinking of Mama Cass in the late 70s, who died of a heart attack but was popularly cited as choking on a ham sandwich?

That whole story is horrifying and hilarious. Thanks for sharing!

I found a good deal on large diameter pipe cutters, and I like that they are very silent and surprisingly quick to use so I don’t disturb my neighbors when I am doing large scale plumbing in my basement.

They specifically call them out as OK as long as they’re under a certain size if I recall correctly.

But I dont want higher nads

Kagi is a paid service and feels weird to pay for a search engine, but things have felt so much better since I tried them out months ago.

I haven’t found too many of those over the years. Lucky me I guess?

Yarr.

Money laundering? 🤷‍♂️

Hey that’s me and my pokemon/Zelda/monster hunter stories obsessed daughter! Fuck you Nintendo, you used to be cool. Well…you used to pretend to be cool. Well…we used to buy your games and not think too hard.

There’s still plenty of jobs that straddle code and the physical real world that no spicy autocorrect will ever be able to do, let alone better than a human being. If you’re feeling vulnerable now, spend some time identifying the niche jobs that are immune to the marketing hype and be one of the people who pops into anyone’s head as knowing this stuff.

Maybe I’ve been in a lil industry bubble for too long and I definitely don’t have writing any production code beyond basic scripting daily on my resume, but a lot of this seems pretty overblown. I hope I’m right and the damage to the average dev role is minimal long term, but IT has always been an uphill battle to keep up with the latest toolset.

I do wish all of you pros well, hopefully this doesn’t come off as minimizing the issues you can clearly see better than I can say to day.

Isn’t that Gates? It’s a solid take and one I’ve kept in mind for years as a lazy man 😆

That’s pretty genius, and I happen to have one a foot away from where my mouse usually hangs out lol. I’ll…tell my friend.
