Windows is just another ad platform, now.

There isn't anything that Adobe charges money for that you can't find an open source alternative.

I have no problems saying excuse me in a loud clear voice and blasting right through the center of those conversations. Being a performer at the local Renaissance festival for 30 years teaches you how to blow right through crowds with people in the way.

Arduino and hobby electronics. It started out as a continuous loop pad dye machine to save me having to dye fabric by hand, strictly mechanical, but then I wanted to automate adding the chemicals at the right times. Then it was keeping the dye liquor a consistent temperature. Then it was draining the trough automatically. Then I figured out I could design my own PCBs and have them fabricated. It just keeps going...

Developers. Yes, AI can sling a lot of code, but it can't make business decisions and it can't please a difficult customer.

I'd be okay with that. Golf courses offend me. So much land wasted that could be put to better uses...like landfills, or cemeteries for the indigent, or nuclear waste storage. (Or housing, or growing food.)

Where exactly does the Bible say that abortion is wrong? Have you read the Old Testament? There are so many dead babies there you could use them for the foundations of the tower of Babel. There's even a method described for inducing abortion.

I don't think any of the gravy seals have it in them to actually take on the government. Soon as they see their buddies torn in half by a 50cal it's going to blow the fight right out of them. Sure, sure, it's all "I'll die for my country!" but you put a gun to their head and say, "America needs your life now", not one in ten will have the courage of their conviction.

I used to doom-scroll to see what bullshit embarrassment Trump was going to put our country through on any given day. Now I'm doom scroll hoping to read his obituary.

That's how RICO works: you don't have to have committed the actual crime, but if your actions materially contributed to the commission of the crime, that's considered pretty much the same thing.

As long as it keeps me employed I am happy to move pixels all day.

Developer here: can confirm. (#4 is actually true.)

Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don't commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.

I think this is the answer. It can take a hen several months to start laying; meat chickens are typically harvested in six to twelve weeks.

All inkjet printers are an ink scam. If you don't need color, or need it infrequently, get a b/w laser printer and be done with it. I bought a used HP Laserjet 2430 back with Ubuntu 18 and never looked back. I print a lot, and just a month ago broke into a toner cartridge I bought five years ago.

I haven't but fucked if I know how.

Perrix offers a split keyboard that I've been using for 20 years. It's modeled after the Microsoft Natural elite keyboard that was discontinued.

My degree is in technical theater. I love sets and lighting design, but costuming is where I landed thanks to the local Renaissance festival.

You should try them as breading for fried chicken. A. MAZE. ING.

You do you, boo.
