So by extension, he’s saying his god (who one world presume stands behind his chosen most righteous candidate) is actually weaker than the demons? Seems a bit self-own, but okay.

I just saw someone walk past my office pushing a huge 1000+ pound rolling equipment dolly intended for moving datacenter equipment (scissor lifting platform, the whole #!…) carrying one single Dell laptop, screen open, power on.

I get safety first, but at least lock the screen!

[text only] The gulf of meaning between the terms "horse play" and "pony play" illustrates why expecting your culture's translation of another's ancient texts to be 100% true to their original intent is dangerous and probably not a good idea.

people gotta treat this behavior the same as we treat shitting on the floor

A rusty spoon with much of the bowl of the spoon rusted away completely on display in a 1790’s era museum

Well shit…. That was my last one…

I need to figure out how to inform iOS that frost does not qualify as a “severe weather warning” in upstate New York.

3D printed cable chain in alternating bright pink, blue, and yellow hangs below a standing desk

The answer was cable chains. (But we all knew that, didn’t we?)

Please disregard the dangling power brick. Still need to figure out a non-piercing solution for attaching some dangly bits.

I think I've found a new favorite ultra-specific subgenre of YouTube video: Musician reacts to hearing Tank! from the Cowboy Bebop sound track for the first time.

I need to reread Snow Crash…

EVIL in big, blood red, all caps...evil as a force that is seperate from humanity doesn't exist. There is no devil or Cthulu or Darkness. There's just people. Evil and the horrors that we use that word to describe, are a product of human beings. Pretending otherwise abdicates responsibility.

I wonder if somewhere at 1 Infinite Loop there's a very slow moving clock that tells them how round the window corners and buttons should be in a new macOS release. We've come around to very round again, I see.

Ahhh, the age old question:

New adjustable height desk — cable chains or nah?

Need to start getting up 30 minutes earlier? Just let anxiety brain wake you up four hours early the first day, and the second day will feel like you’re getting to sleep in! For more shitty life pro tips….

It’s a relief to see at least one elected Democrat make a call to action. @schumer.senate.gov, are you going to do anything or just firmly adjust your glasses?

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

what he said.

I’m sure this is because I’m not well read enough, but I continue to wonder if any futurists more correctly predicted that computing power was dangerous not because it would become an uncontrollable superintelligence but because zero cost rapid bullshit generation is destabilizing to society.

This is not improved by certain.. let’s say, “Heavily refresh-inclined personality attributes.”

Does that job running for three hours mean things are backed up or wedged, or does Fred down in Macrodata just like to dump his refining backlog into the queue the day before a long weekend? No matter how much you’d like to start improving it now, you need to wait and learn normal.

The worst part of adding new monitoring to a troubled system is that with no baseline, you almost certainly cannot draw meaningful conclusions from the data.

The greatest weakness of good people is their inability to appreciate just how many people are truly evil.

Setting an eagle on fire is just cruel, but if you can take the drone down with a phoenix while it’s actively on fire, that’s fair game.

Looks like Google finally decided they didn't want Chrome on my machines anymore. Buh-bye... Manifest V2 or GTFO.

Funny how when it comes to AI people are all "adapt or be left behind" but when it comes to remote work the same people insist that things must go back to how they were at all cost.

If Trump came for their guns they’d lay them down for him.

So much of this feels like desecrating the temple. The barbarians come in and set up a mockery of civilization, aimed not at capturing its benefits for themselves but at debasing it so much that no one will ever be able to claim the civilized are better than they are.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
