I jumped ship from windows straight to Garuda. It just works. Any question I’ve had DeepSeek has answered correctly the first time I asked.

That’s normal under the sink stuff, and not anything you’d use to make meth.

We had a chance at Star Trek, we decided to aim for Firefly instead.

Find a few sheets of stickers that you like. Every time you do something thats hard, write it down and give yourself a sticker. Then when you’re having a bad day, you can look at the list of shit you’ve accomplished, and the awesome stickers you’ve earned.

Requesting your W2s from the IRS requires you to have the card, or 1 of 10 other documents that usually have xxx-xx as the first 5 of the number.

As an aside, the first 5 can be determined if you know what state and year someone was born in.

Albania. It’s nice here. There’s a construction worker shortage, and no shortage of jobs for teachers that speak English. You can even show up and hang out for up to a year with no visa.

Yeah. I’m a huge ghostbusters nerd. I really enjoyed it. There’s one quick change that could be made that would have made it tons better. Set it in Boston and make them a franchisee. Making it a spinoff instead of a reboot.

I couldn’t get anything Debian based to install correctly. I ended up using Garuda, dragonized edition. It took less setup than a fresh windows install.

I’d use that number all the time and not take the rewards. Glad my stupid tech job was actually used for something good.

Talk to anyone that runs a gun range, and they’ll tell you that cops have the worst aim. They have a tendency to point in the general direction of their target, then pull the trigger until it goes click.

He’s a moper.

As a Windows engineer, the number of times I’ve seen other “engineers” open a case with Microsoft is insane. It seems to be a lot of their first reactions. No logs, no trying anything, just “this broke, why no work”. I think it’s that the Linux guys are mostly self taught, and the windows guys aren’t.

It’s called a B Corp in the US. A public benefit company. It’s for profit, but with a mission. Doctor Bronner’s and Newman’s Own are the two that come to mind.

The obviously fast forwarded fight scenes broke this movie for me. I don’t even remember the plot because every time there was anything happening on the screen the physics of everything would change.

High school was a complete waste of time. I dropped out 3 weeks after I was legally able to. I fucked around for 2 years until I could get my GED. I took the GED tests in a day more than a year before I would have been able to graduate.

I dropped out of various colleges for a bunch of reasons. The first was my company expanding and not leaving enough time for homework. The last was the Devry’s completely false statements about their students being recruited to FAANG companies.

It works great in pancakes. Buttermilk > sour milk > milk.

The big difference between IT and Devops is that IT fixes a problem, Devops solves it. In IT roles, I’m usually stuck pissing on the same fires over and over. In Devops roles, I’m given the time to go get a hose and put the fire out.

I spent years getting great with powershell so I can now confidently copy code out of chatgpt. Chatgpt’s ability to spit out close to correct code faster than I can type it is amazing, but useless if you don’t understand what the hell it’s trying to do.

That’s what angers me about these articles. Millennials graduated high school to the Dot Com burst. We took out a bunch of student loans after not being able to find any work, graduated to the great recession. Spent a decade trying to pay down our student loans to 0 effect. Then got hit with the pandemic. We’ve given up on there being a future. Why the fuck should I put money in a 401k to prop up billionaires’ fortunes? My wages are never going to be enough to retire. I might as well have some fun now while my body isn’t completely broken.
