I’ve been quite happy with moonlight/sunshine on Wayland. Is that an option?

I never heard of those bands, tbh.

Did the first one do “Killer Tofu”?

That’s a shame. I saw Offspring last summer (first time I’ve ever gotten lawn/GA seats, best time I’ve had at a concert since like my first concert at that venue (Godsmack 2002 I think). Awesome show. I think they had a brief intermission where some pickup band played for a bit before coming back out, but can’t really remember, as I was really fucking stoned.

Sign into Roblox and it’s just a bunch of GPU Farms trying to get NUCs to send them pictures of their dongles and/or ports.

My MIL went to see Frankie Valli recently. Dude is 91 years old and still performing…but doesn’t have the stamina he used to. She said this show was like that…he’d do a couple songs, go backstage and rest, come back out.

Side note…several years ago I had a season pass to the local theater all the Broadway shows tour at. Out of all the shows that season, Jersey Boys was the one I was least looking forward to.

It ended up being my second favorite show of the season, behind Hamilton. Great show, highly recommend. Least favorite that year, iirc, was Miss Saigon. I think Anastasia was also that season, another really great show.

I have a few, some fractional shares in a company I used to work for (3-letter US pharmacy chain), that got lost in the ether when porting my 401k out to my next employer. Estimated value < $200

They need a fucking proof of residence matching my address at the time…my early 20s bachelor pad, nearly 20 years ago. My old landlord is dead. My roommates at the time…one went off-grid and disappeared himself, other was and remains a deadbeat and I don’t think he was actually on any bills or the lease anyway.

Is it even worth the effort of trying to track it down now? It’s almost just on principle at this point.

Its a type of breathmint that comes in a little tin can.

I had a little op-amp headphone amplifier I built in one because my mini disc player was really, really quiet. Couple LM386’s, iirc.

Sure. But that’s much easier handled when you’ve got 10+ months of momentum behind you. Staying on track, or even forgiving yourself for over-indulging, gets a lot easier with that.

Its pretty friggin hard to start a diet during the holidays. If you say the day before thanksgiving that you’re going to start a diet, you’re probably setting yourself up for failure more than if you let yourself enjoy the holidays and then get on the wagon once the leftovers are gone and the hangover has settled.

Reminds me of when I was getting pissed off that Windows would randomly close Teams Windows and browser tabs, exactly every 59 seconds.

Till I found out that the windows version of caffeine hits the F15 key every 59 seconds by default. I had previously set up PowerToys to map an “extra” key on my keyboard to do Ctrl+W. That “extra” key actually turned out to be F15.

My HS History teacher was exactly like that and I had a dream with him in it the other night. Really weird timing since I hadn’t been in highschool for over 20 years. Also he died a couple years ago.

PIA has OpenVPN or IPsec profiles (I forget which) that can be imported into NetworkManager. You just have to put in your account info.

I don’t think every location has one…but a lot do.

Wait till you realize that the point of homework is delayed-gratification, prioritization, and self-reliance.

AIO PCs were and remain a terrible idea…the keyboard PC is a cool novelty reminiscent of the Commodore 64/128 era but kinda stupid nowadays. Would be cool in a C64 shell as a dedicated emulation device tho.

No bryndos…I’m saying when he’s ready, he won’t have to.

Yes! Thank you! Separating conversation from ambient noise. That’s a part I struggle with.

And my wife wonders why I can never hear her over the air conditioner/sink/etc.

Ditto, I would like to know more.

Whoa whoa I never heard of apd before and it sounds like something I might have.

I hear things just fine…hearing test was good. But I tend to not “hear” things, if that makes sense.

Like sometimes people sound like they’re talking jibberish/mumbled, or it takes a long time to register and I say “what” but I’m just buying time to respond.

There are hearing aids for that?

Proof of concept fails in a spectacular fireball?

Fuck it, owners are too invested, ship it anyway.

Feels like I work for the same company.

Why repair the plane on the ground…if it’s a real problem, we can fix it mid-flight.

Cool.
