Food is crazy. My wife went to jersey mikes and got a sandwich for herself. It came out to $17.50!

I hadn’t thought about rob schneider or jim bruer in years, but I guess I’ll keep ignoring them purposefully now!

Grimm Fandango (one of the best games ever made) along with Myst and Riven also run on Scummvm!

Stille Volk’s cover of Iron Maiden’s To Tame A Land:

Redhat 5.2 on cd. I learned a lot about compiling kernels as it didn’t support scsi emulation which was required for an ide cd burner. I think I ended up on Mandrake for a while before bouncing around including LFS. Then gentoo for many many years. And I’ve come full circle and been back on fedora for about 10 years now.

I highly recommend civil discourse. She does an excellent job of breaking down everything going on in the trump cases:

They have to pay hundreds of millions a year bribing politicians across the world!

Do a flip!

Well, for a long time the only thing my tv had was a computer hooked up to it that played random futurama 24/7!

Here is what I do, it is a type of visualization meditation.

I have been watching futurama (original seasons) for 20 something years. I have seen each episode literally hundreds of times. I have them burned pretty well into my brain at this point.

I have ripped just the audio track from the DVDs. When I wake up in the middle of the night (2-4 times per night!), I turn on a random episode as audio only.

The goal here is to try to visualize the episode as you only listen to the audio. This forces you to focus on something rather than stress about life. It really helps me stop thinking about anything else. Because I know the episodes so well, it has become quite easy to stay focused on it (like watching with your eyes closed). And since I’ve seen the episodes so many times there is no fear of missing out, so you don’t try to stay awake to finish an episode. I can typically fall back asleep within 5-10 minutes with this technique.

I personally have these on my phone in a playlist and sleep with a single wired ear bud in one ear. I have a sleep timer set for 25 minutes. If I wake up, all I have to do is tap the button on my wired Apple headphones and it’ll continue playing for 25 more minutes. No need to open my eyes or take off my sleep mask.

What about Summoning, specifically Oath Bound?

My understanding is you can’t. Once you sign up for it you forfeit Medicare.

I really thought in 2016 Bernie would splinter the democrats and we’d have a true left party. I also thought trump would create a new party on the right and the republicans would go back to being republicans. Can you imagine a 4 party system!

To my surprise, the trump dragged the republicans even further to the right, and the democrats moved even more center-right to appease ex-republicans. So the whole nation just moved right, which is sad.

I’m all for protesting the government and their actions. But I am a bit torn on this.

It’s like being a US tourist while Trump is in office and being denied everything because you are associated with you government.

I hate it too. But I am not my government.

I saw an article recently that over half of people of whom Medicare is available to are now on Medicare Advantage plans, which are actually private plans that take all your Medicare allotment and may not provide better coverage

It is shocking, but I guess 24/7 commercials on Fox News work 😞

It is a huge scam and the government never should have allowed it…but capitalism at all costs, I guess.

I’m 100% in on the metric system, but Fahrenheit is the best way to measure weather.

0F is my freezing point 100F is my boiling point

Fuck freezing/boiling of water!

Celsius is great for science (except space science) or cooking, but weather should be based on humans.

🍻here’s to all the developers out there who makes sure there site works great not only with Firefox, but also with ublock origin and piholes!

It is always shocking to me how many sites or apps completely fail to load if you dare block google analytics!

This guy does a ton of really awesome metal album covers!

Or having a single employee manage an entire store. This is entirely the fault of these stores and their lack of investment in their own employees.

Cdparanoia to make sure I get a good rip. Then flacenc to convert to flac. Then Picard to tag and organize it.
