Well, shit. Time for me to book a trip to Vegas.

Dude, I’ve been there and it is AWESOME!

If you think what you have to throw out as the consumer is wasteful, take a look in the kitchens of these places and tell me that it’s any better. Most foods that have to be prepped in advance must be separated by single-use parchment/wax paper, then wrapped in plastic. When ready to use, use a glove for a few uses to take the prepped food out of the wrap, remove the paper separating it all, and chuck it out. It could have been prepped a week ago, or only two hours ago for fresh use, you still throw out all this paper and plastic wrapping. And then the cleaning, there is an inexcusable amount of paper towel used for various purposes, from drying your hands to wiping a counter/table, etc. And it’s all thrown out. Some restaurants will use towels and kitchen rags, but then you have so many to wash and clean, it’s usually done by a third-party service that has to drive to pick it all up, drive to a central laundry stop, do the laundry, and then drive it all back to get done again. And if you are in a place that has a washing machine in-house, it’s a drop in the bucket in solving real waste issues.

Word replacement is fine and dandy, just don’t have a physical reaction to moist. I have seen people like that and made me lose respect for them.

• I haven’t been to Taco Bell in a minute.
• My wife and I stay at Street Rd.

The second one I get the closer I am to inner city areas. The first I have been hearing more in suburban areas and outside of the inner city regions that it originated.

There are certain things people say that should be banned:

• When saying that you haven’t done or seen something in a while, don’t say “a minute” instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
• When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.
• And being afraid of the word “moist” makes you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.
• One more, “amaze-balls” and “automagic” are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.

I want disclosure. I want a tag or watermark to let people know that AI was used. I want to see these companies pay dues for the content used in the similar vein that we have to pay for higher learning. And we need to stop calling it AI as well.

The more we get, the better it becomes. Trying to just change the whole system at once is just an excuse for not making the small changes that move the needle.

I didn’t even think they got the humor right. Watching episodes without the laugh track shoes the jokes are just a group of bullies being bullies to each other.

My Linux journey was pre XP, I was still in 98Se edition and my Linux disk didn’t have a working GUI on it.

People who chew with their mouth open. Looks and sounds disgusting.

Dude, Cheetara from ThunderCats had it going on!

I was working on a e-commerce site for a large furniture manufacturer. They wanted to add a new attribute to a site that dealt with the fabrics they used. This would have been somewhere near 500 individual products with their own value for this attribute. We had to get this lined up on the product csv because somebody didn’t think to do it in the erp. One of my managers was set to go in and use Excel to merge the lists, but I realized he would have to do this every month until the end of time. I wrote a quick script on the site to do this anytime the product csv needed to be updated. Write once, run forever.

It would need to be us that needs to evolve away from being sensitive to mosquito saliva. But our immune system went the other way to be allergic to it so we could defend against any infection or disease the bug might carry. Further proof of human stupidity in our evolution, that we trigger the defense mechanism after the the attack instead of preventing it.

You know, I think I should ask my it guy.

I have my primary daily driver laptop running Arch for web programming and writing, my side laptop running arch for monitoring services and writing, my server computer running (again) arch that I use for web dev and jellyfin streaming, and my work laptop running Ubuntu for server management. Not to mention my chromebook for paper weight, and my wife’s laptop on Win10 she uses for design stuff. Nobody running games outside of my xBox One.

If you want more user owned internet, make federalized services not just more popular, but easier to spin up and run. Lemmy is great, but I should be able to spin up an instance on my home server without much trouble. Give me the ability to run and manage peer tube on my own.

Here’s something to blow your mind: podcasts pre-date the iPod.

Johnny Mnemonic. Keanu cannot act for shit in it, the story isn’t exactly gripping, hell the action in it is somewhere in the shitter. Oh, and Henry Rollins is a nerdy doctor. All if it adds up to a campy trip of slop that triggers my guilty pleasure.

I started screening my phone calls.
