I like to update mine based on the season. Right now it’s Freddy: JSON

I use a large sketchbook as a mousepad. The sketchbook sits on a pillow to lift it to the appropriate height. Works great.

I’m quite against prediction markets for many reasons, but I will say they have been more accurate than most political polls because people are actually putting money where their mouth is.

Data centers needed for AI are driving up electricity costs to surrounding residents, they use ungodly amounts of water to cool the systems and dump that now hot water back into the ecosystem, causing ecosystem collapse or into the municipal wastewater process, overloading treatment plants, children are using it to do their homework, potentially harming their ability to critically read and write (this is still being studied, and most evidence is anecdotal or still in review).

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Kirby looks real good!

Depending on the state you live in, that may be illegal. Many states consider accrued PTO as part of your compensation and you must be paid at your hourly rate (or salary equivalent if necessary) upon leaving the company.

With the OoT remake recently announced, and a 2nd remake being announced being unlikely, I’m hoping this at least announces TP on the GameCube VC.

I hope this interaction is happening on the eastern coast of the Americas or western coast of Europe or Africa, otherwise the fish is far from home.

Pacific Rim theme song lives rent free in my head. An amazing movie. Also came out around the time I started paying attention to directors so it’s my “first” Del Toro movie and I have watched everything he’s made since.

I don’t remember any of the music from Arrival so I guess it’s time for a rewatch.

Someone took BlenderGuru’s tutorial too far.

Ranked choice or really anything other than first past the post would solve that.

Have you played rimworld and if so, how does it compare?

At this point they will keep covering up his death until Jan 21st.

Missed opportunity to name the website PortHUB.

Samus in morph ball.

If you plan on using them frequently then you need a decent sized air compressor. I have a 3 gal pancake compressor and it just doesn’t do it for me. I would also say when buying tools, really consider if you need it battery powered or if you will always have wall power. I would never buy a battery powered orbital sander because I’m always going to be running dust collection anyways, and the cord can run along the dust hose.

Well do I have good news for you (assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere)

The thing about arsenal is, they always try to walk it in.

For sure. I tell anyone that will listen not to use Healthy Paws for their pet insurance. Ever since they were bought by private equity, things have been a steady flow downhill. The most recent bullshit they pulled is dropping all pets over 10 years old down to 70% reimbursement and doubling the deductible from $250 to $500.

And I can’t just change insurance because pet insurance companies are still allowed to deny claims based on pre-existing conditions. I’ve moved my younger healthy dog to a privately owned company, and hopefully they won’t go to shit.

Fuck you, Chubb, may you all rot in hell.
