Lots of jurisdictions are blocking the site now, necessitating VPNs to access the site.

There’s probably a higher percentage of Linux adoption among VPN users.

I don’t know if it’s still tru, but they used to be the number one steak restaurant in the country because their streaks were so cheap.

Even if I was interested in having children, I can barely afford to house and feed myself while making well-above median income.

Lazlow Jones (the writer/voice of the radio stations) and Dan Houser (Co-founder of Rockstar) left the company to work on an AI Satire venture.

And any living Belgians who were in the Congo before 1960.

A lot of people’s don’t understand the business of universities. It’s not education.

The students are there as fundraisers. The ones who get scholarships are there to boost the reputation and desirability of the school and/or provide free labor.

Professors have the “publish or perish” rule for the same reason. They work their ass off 40 hours a week all year, but only about 10-15 are directly related to education, and that’s only 30 weeks of the year (38 if they’re also teaching summer courses). The rest of the time they’re doing research to boost the university’s prestige and get those juicy patents and grants.

And once you’ve gone into debt for 20 years to get the degree, they’ll hound you for donations through the alumni foundation until the heat death of the universe.

The one good use of Monster cables I saw was a buddy who played guitar and was pretty energetic in his sets and not disciplined enough to take proper care of his cables.

Monster cables really were pretty tough compared to the cheap stuff, but the bigger deal was the lifetime free replacements. He bought 2 Monster cables for 1/4 cable to his amp, and when one broke he’d swap to the backup while waiting on the replacement in the mail.

I want that too, but I’ll gladly accept a toilet aneurysm today.

I might be very okay with that last part, conditional on timing.

I brought God into an argument. Your rational questions have no power here!

42 years old, and I still thank onions should be left in the dirt. God buried them for a reason.

I think part of it has to do with the fact that the jobs don’t require you to speak English. I’ve also seen a decent share of deaf food delivery people for the same reason.

I am indeed a very boring person.

There’s also electric air blowers now that are prett6 great. My wolfbox blower is shockingly powerful.

But do you put work into the fake?

I like to invent P-values and fabricate not only participants, but their consent waivers. I sprinkle around terms like Tasseled Cap, Eigenvector, ANOVA, MLR, Covariance Matrices, etc.

Some people make up stuff because they’re lazy. When my lies are complete, it would have been just as easy to do the actual work because I’m in it for the love of the game.

This is why I write it as 2+(2x4). The parentheses aren’t techniclly necessary, but they do make it clearer to people who haven’t been in a school for 35 years.

The way it should be handled is to just let me rotate a single fucking page. It’s 2025 and there is zero excuse for that bullshit.

Want to edit the header just on page 6? Or feel like being sexy and having a single page in landscape or a different size?

Easy! Just make a bunch of separate documents, export them as PDFs, and merge them in Adobe Acrobat.

Not who you were replying to, but I’ve worked in the industry…

Kinda, yeah. They want them set up super early in the mornings on site so they can get to work.

Also, lots of them move from site to site directly without returning to the yard. Some of the bigger tower cranes are booked years in advance, so there’s really only down time if a job finishes early.

Probably. And you could definitely kill others.
