Yep. I don’t allow biometrics to unlock my devices for this reason. Purchase something? Sure thing! Unlock? Hell no.

I hate it so much. Just stick to jpg.

Automation is a common reason to program outside of a job. I created tools to scrape websites, control my home entertainment system, and nerdy shit like pulling stats from my router. Someone who does a podcast that I enjoy created a thing that lets him know the state of their garage door via an LED (open vs closed). Silly stuff like this is really about scratching a personal itch more than it’s about solving life issues. It’s fun for some people and probably not fun for others.

This was funnier than it had any right to be.

I’d rather eat an orange. Apple skin gets stuck in my teeth.

It really is such a great chair that I expect I’ll have it forever. One arm got damaged by my old desk being just the right height that when I sat, the arm could go under and when I stood, the chair raised a bit and put pressure on the arm. Other than that, it’s as good as the day I bought it, outside of cosmetic wear. This is after ~20 years. What an investment!

Oh, I wouldn’t like that. I swing back in my chair a lot of the time that I’m seated.

I thought I really liked it at my old job. So when I moved I bought an electric adjustable desk. Turns out I just had a shitty chair at the old job. When I wfh, I have an Aeron, so I’m perfectly comfortable. I have only raised my desk a few times when I wanted to show something on screen to other people. Having the right ergonomics makes all the difference.

I didn’t expect to like a meme that included the bible, but this is accurate.

Five pounds.

I stopped at the bit about revolutionizing communication online. That revolution happened over a decade ago with the rise of social media. More social media is just more, not new.

I brought it out over the weekend to check out the immersive content that they’ve released since a year ago. I put it back in a drawer after about fifteen minutes. I would take it on vacation for content and for the laptop display feature, but that’s about it.

I liked this one. The ending was unexpected and made me laugh. Even while typing this comment, I laughed again. I must be the drunk king.

Yes, it’s a superpower.

At this point in my life, I’m extremely comfortable admitting when I’m wrong. It earns credibility.

Agreed. This was pretty unexpected.

I want OpenAI to collapse.

During the pan my relationship with food became standing over the sink and eating quickly prepared meals. Only now that I’m in a relationship are real meals happening again because she loves to cook. She had to persuade me to buy a two-seater kitchen table before we lived together.

Hilarious.

I heard their initials are E.M.
