Blue collar dudes yell into cellphones. Doesn’t matter how smart. They just do. It used to drive me nuts but I get it now.

For a long time I ssh’d into my vps to manage tasks and notes in emacs and even play dwarf fortress.

With utilities like screen you can rejoin sessions anywhere, etc.

Have you tried this?

Never tried to get a GUI running like this.

This seems performative since you could already do this easily unless the drive was bitlockered and you didn’t have a recovery key.

Celebrity gossip headlines and weather for a place you went on a business trip last year.

There’s a reason I still use lots of email in the age of IM. Permanent records, please. I will email a record of in person convos or chats on stuff like this. I do it politely and professionally, but I do it.

I have had numerous managers tell me there was no time for QA in my storied career. Or documentation. Or backups. Or redundancy. And so on.

• Oh, there’s no way he said it
• Ok, I guess he did but it’s taken out of context
• Looks like it’s not taken out of context but it was one time when they got excited
• Ok, there’s a history of this kind of rhetoric
• Well, no one really believes that stuff
• Ok, this really is a popular opinion
• I just want lower taxes

Good thing you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you’d starve! /s

When I hear “I got fired for my political beliefs”, I think “they got fired for being a contrarian blowhard with no impulse control”.

He’s a humorist. It’s not supposed to be that funny. Just humourous.

Edit - was thinking of Steve Allen. Time to see the neurologist.

Leg warmers are back.

I was thinking that. The first time I saw this I didn’t look closely and thought “yes, this is pretty much how I remember it, except I’d be scared that guy was going to ash out his cigarette in my burger and slap me on the back of the head as he leaves because he’s probably one of my cousins”.

Stock split to make him feel important. I’m guessing, of course. Plus he probably thought this make the company more valuable.

You have this correct which I why it is so ridiculous that they not only agreed to hear this but did so in a way that both allows Trump to avoid prosecution and will result in a legal precedent that he can use to stay in office and commit crimes while there. Pretty great for Trump.

I’ll just divert all my calls and texts to my wife’s phone and have my son handle all my administrative tasks. I’m also refusing to check email before noon and I decline meetings because they are not productive.

Hang on, my wife just told me my boss says I no longer have to work at all now!

I didn’t even need to click on this. :)

Do you think an LLM can beat you in tic tac toe?

Deep cut but so very representative of right wing people. They have two modes of supporting their arguments:

1. Rare: drown you in bs arguments (here are 350 made up examples of how the election was stolen) knowing you won’t refute each one. You give up, they think they “won”. This can come in the form of a 2 hour youtube.

2. Common: “I don’t need evidence, I just know”, “I’m telling you that most regulations are bad, but can’t give you a single example”, or "I am ignoring your obvious question because I have never thought deeply about this and can’t face that reality ".

My personal favorite is when they link a article that completely contradicts their point and refuse to discuss that.

Yes, that’s what I mean. Noone in their right mind would choose her. This was a forced choice and an indication that the lunatics were if not running the asylum, at least in charge of a big part of it.
