If this is real, he’s lost all street cred.

Perl programmers will be like gods in this new world.

I’m impressed by their operational efficiency. Here they are, making it happen 365 days per year. Someone deserves a raise.

Recently had a meeting where the organizer was summing up that we were done when someone brought in an off-topic thing that got people joking around about nothing. At the first lull, I said, “Ok, so I guess if that’s it, everyone have a good weekend.” That worked and everyone started signing off. I hate that I have to jump in to make things end, but at least it worked.

I ripped 298 Blu-Rays and a smaller number of DVDs with MakeMKV. Twice because I lost the whole collection due to my own bs the first time (make sure you have excellent backups, folks). I would not go through the process a third time, but that has nothing to do with the software.

I feel pretty comfortable asking questions IRL because over many years I’ve had two friends who are openly Trans. But I want to show some support for the community, so here we go:

A train leaves the station at 9pm… 😆

Love and Respect.

Someone needs a furry tummy rub.

This is the cutest pic so far today. So good that I had to send it to my partner. What a cutie.

Yes. It’s one of the checkmarks in the don’t-have-kids column.

Perhaps. I like dry, absurdist humor. This doesn’t read like that to me at all.

This person is unwell. Not because of the desire to chase someone (I have thoughts on that, but…) the high five and shit. Getting sweaty but they won’t pay if they can’t catch you but you also can’t go easy on them if they’re a slow fuck who can’t catch you otherwise or you won’t get paid. If I knew someone who posted this, I would disassociate from them.

Congregate outside and make lots of noise so these bastards can’t sleep.

Obviously, the man was a saint and all the copious evidence of his crimes was faked by Hollywood because Dear Leader is even higher than Jesus. Duh.

It’s about time someone made some sense from this hateful and damaging book. Next time I decide to eat some gummies, I’ll be sure to do so with an open-minded male friend. Let’s rock and roll.

Aha, I see. My friends lived in North Hollywood at the time. I really don’t know the layout or anything beyond that. But the county being huge sounds familiar and would make sense if this varies a lot.

I guess things changed since two decades ago? What happened to give you guys safe water? In 2002, my friends in LA bought jugs of bottled water at the store because by the time it was piped down, all kinds of nasty shit had leached into it.

If you have anything exposed, scripts and bots are testing your server all day, every day. So long as you’ve got proper security in place, ignore the failed attempts.

You and I are lucky to have quality tap water. I live in the Bay Area and our water is awesome. Go down to LA and it’s poison.

Who the fuck cares. He seems like a good dude and we all know she’s a complete piece of shit. Let’s not give her or her shitbag followers oxygen.

Further, the studios saw how Apple cornered the market selling songs for a dollar and didn’t want any one company (Netflix) to have that kind of control again. And it happened the same way: the record industry didn’t take the iTunes Store as anything that could be a huge success and gave Apple a sweetheart deal that they later regretted for leaving money on the table.

The lesson they didn’t learn is that it takes competitive pricing to wipe out (most of) piracy. The desire to squeeze every last drop of profit leads to its resurgence.

Good riddance to studios opening a bajillion streaming services. Sail the high seas and be merry.
