My lack of FOMO I generally prescribe to my aphantasia.

I also don’t feel nostalgia. I get that others do, but I am a forward looking type, and am quite optimistic.

Yep, I never could get past the taste of plastic in my food.

Only microwave in glass and ceramic!

It works well with syncthing…

But we know for sure that these chemicals are modifying the weather!

I guess, crazy people just need to shout at clouds sometimes.

So no more releasing CO2 or CH4 (chemicals) into the atmosphere then?

I tried Kimchi and lamb burgers they are delicious.

I use them all the time, it has its place…but people tend to overuse them.

Nothing worse than someone sending me data as a fucken PDF file. Hey here is a table with a bunch of data, it is spread over multiple pages, and no you can’t get the data as a csv file. Because I want you to spend a lot of time verifying that the data has imported correctly.

I was just about to say that, tis a cursed format.

As someone who deals with lactose intolerance.

Just don’t make it a big deal, if you can’t eat something, don’t eat it. Your needs are important, but other people are equally entitled to their own enjoyment.

I hate vegans who only do it to virtue signal, it is a personal journey keep it that way.

If someone is thoughtful enough to ask about your dietary requirements, they are probably “good people” and won’t care about it. They will just make allowances for you.

An anecdote about dietary requirements:
I have a sister in law who cannot eat onions/garlic/leeks etc… she does make a big deal about it, no dishes can have those ingredients when she is around.
Her intolerance is about at bad as mine, she gets bloated and gassy… So not dangerous, just uncomfortable.
It always feels difficult to deal with. My view is, if you want to make potatoes with cream sauce, enjoy it I’ll eat something else.

Agreed, the already has my old laptop which he uses at home sometimes.

I really just want to be able call him when he and his friends are away from the house.

But also have some apps like signal, and a chess game. The Wikipedia app… There really is a lot of good stuff available.

No social media, no unsupervised internet.

I totally hate aphantasia.

I was in hospital earlier in the year for surgery, they gave me ketamine afterwards…started seeing shit.

It was weird.

Hated it for the dissociative effect; but the seeing shit for a few hours after was strange, but ok.

Having the ability to see images in my mind. Sounds like a cool ability, not sure if it would be a curse though.

Where is the meme where this is on top, and there is an image of tux with “The most secure operating system”

Ok firstly.

Never, work on anything that is still connected to a power supply.

This includes any stored energy. Isolate it first. Gravitational, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic and chemical (if possible).

Don’t fuck with stored energy.

Secondly.

Learn how to test if things are live, or have any stored energy.

Thirdly.

Once you KNOW you are safe. Go hard, learn all you can.

Auckland is the definition of sprawl.

A bunch of laws were past on the last few years to combat it, but we find see the effects for decades to come.

Wow, he looks so excited by this news

Imelda Staunton did an amazing job of playing such a vile character. She really nailed the lawful evil nature from source material.

Thanks, fixed the link.

When you consider that the top 5 on that list take up 50% of the population. Auckland continues to grow, and at 30% of the population already, it has an crazy effect on the economic decisions in the country.

It is also growing geographically, eventually Auckland and Hamilton will merge somewhere around Huntly (#50).
