It's insane that she wrote The Vampire Lestat and could still get mad about this. It's 400 pages of Tom cruise jumping on a couch, yelling "fuck yeah it's great to be a vampire!".

My friend's dad has been doing that for 30+ years and hasn't had a real job, joke's on you! (This trick only works if you're rich)

In 1994 I was making angel hair pasta with sun dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts and pine nuts like 3 times per week. The other 4 days were bagel dogs dipped in Vegit powder. What a time to be alive, living like a king.

It would literally take no effort for antispam software to be tweaked to flag this as a malicious order. I worked on stuff over a decade ago that would catch bad user behavior like this.

This is serious. They should get the LAPD bomb disposal folks to take care of this safely to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. It's the only way.

I cannot accept that this collection of shoes was worn by 17 year olds in 2023. I don't even know where you would buy them. This is like a 1986 pile of shoes.

Mountain biking, rollerblading, skiing: jump-heavy activities if there's any obstacle at all
Walking: jumping is entirely optional when encountering obstacles aside from large gaps
Conclusion: all video games secretly depict wheeled activities

I took a 1990 Civic with summer tires over Donner Summit in a snowstorm in 1993. Even with chains, I spun out three times on the climb westbound from Donner Lake. The third time I spun, I wasn't going more than 5 MPH. Utter chaos. But I made it home that night.
@jredmond
Yup. Like...
How do usernames map to storage locations?
How do users in NYC get to the nearest server, but use the same DNS name as SF folks?
How are multiple resolutions of videos stored and selected?
What granularity is perf data stored at for last month?

This truth only becomes clear when you mention an obvious gay subtext to an acquaintance and they all but stop the car and kick you out.

They can do anything they want. You can then argue about it in court through a mouth full of broken teeth and perhaps the judge will find them in the wrong. Perhaps.

I saw this is the theater and love it more each time I see it. The new one was great but I was saddened that it didn't give me nightmares. If you're not going to do heartplugs, at least try to figure out something //even worse//.
My laptop announced this morning "this battery has failed due to normal wear and tear and it will no longer charge". It's 11 years old. Rest now, old friend.

Went to the tiny town (~300 people) where my grandparents lived in rural Nebraska a few years ago. It looked like this except people still lived there. The guy at the gas station said his drinks freeze on the kitchen table, because it's so cold and his house is so drafty.

51, two kids, recently divorced. Enjoyer of Bernie's work since he told the world about Tom Ridge's socks. I've been kicking around Silicon Valley professionally for 25 years. I seem to spend my free time dicking around with old motorcycles and whatnot.

The Twitter policy page is well archived, since 2018 the main changes are 400 instead of 1000 follows per day allowed, and some irrelevant API stuff. But since we're mostly following back we should skate around the 5000 follow limit easily, with a few rate limits along the way.
Just went to an estate sale. It was normal in the front, a house like mine but totally 60s unrestored. Then I checked the back shed and holy shit, a 50s era electronics repair shop frozen in amber. Hundreds of tubes and testers and whatnot.

It was a previously unfunny manner of death that has been transubstantiated into the funniest death ever. A miracle, if you will.

I remember the Star Wars ep4 novelization going into a lot of detail about heads exploding in clouds of red mist and bone that were distinctly missing from the movie. So it was on someone's mind at the time for sure.

I read an article describing the exact logic of Word outline indentation and nesting many years ago, and it's one of my top 3 lost internet gems. Like, there's a reason for it all but it's utterly crazy.

I'm triple vaxxed and got it. It was a runny nose. My 87 year old dad got it too; he's triple vaxxed and it was a runny nose and slight cough. Same for my 83 year old mom.
So this weekend I get to go have sushi with them, instead of burying them.
I tore apart my lawnmower's carb, cleaned some gunk out, fixed what I think was some missing or incorrect linkages, and it fired up.
Hear me now, overgrown foxtails: you are fucked now.
it is 1824. I drink from a lead cup as children clock in at the factory. I dislike the King.

Funny how following a Michal Pollan style rule like "eat food, mostly plants" (even if it's more like "eat good stuff that uses real dairy only and you can pronounce the ingredients") automatically boycotts Nestle as a side effect.

Surprised that 1. it's not the SF symphony conductor, and 2. the SF symphony conductor makes a lot more than $950k. So they must be conductor of an orchestra in LA or outside CA because there sure as hell aren't any other big gigs like that in NorCal.
There are feral cats in my neighborhood. Today I got one to eat some food from a bowl I was holding and ended up brushing it and having a full blown petting session.

My friend at a major public uni took a psych class that he had to sign an NDA for and to this day, many years later, he won't tell me what they did.
Your enterprise tool that has a 5 minute timeout per policy and doesn't bring me back to my previous session state when I log back in? Fuck you forever.
As soon as I started thinking "running man style explosive collar" I scrolled past someone posting exactly that.
In reality I will be ground up for food so I'm living for the present, man.
The MGM Grand is looking to hire a Red Hat Linux System Admin willing to work 10 hours per day 7 days a week to completely rebuild its IT environment from the ground up and get the slot machines working again. (h/t

This reminds me of the shirt I had in college that was for a pediatric AIDS foundation fundraiser but the person making the shirt just put "PEDIATRIC AIDS" and the graphic and no other text.
