Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

  • Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.

    Unfortunately there's only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I've got an old windows laptop kicking around that is "rico-w"

    ... I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.

  • The last one is now a governor.

    ... So apparently it pays to vomit lies that align with whatever he says. Seems the people love it.

  • Differs by company, of course, but the one I used to work for would wipe, reimage, and sell them to employees for $50.

  • Especially when vi is better

    Fight me🤺

    (I kid, I kid, but not entirely ;)

  • It's fine.

    The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I've considered moving and I don't even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

  • But I should procrastinate paying my taxes until the last minute, yes? I have 1099 income that doesn't have taxes pre deducted from it, there's I always have to pay in (which is fine, I budget for it)

  • I'll find something else to screw up and cause it to break, don't worry.

  • You're not my supervisor!

  • Makes sense; people are stupid. Me included at least half of the time.

    I remember a backpacking buddy talking about a tool for puncturing the (empty) fuel cans for "jet boil" camping stoves because they couldn't be recycled without very clearly being empty.

  • If you're not abusing it, credit card companies are more than happy to do charge backs via disputes.

    And, what, the shady company that scammed you is going to fight a multi billion dollar corporation?

    I've used this a few times when I got fucked and the company doing the fucking didn't respond or didn't care.

  • I've pet a lot of opossums. Not been bit by one... But those teeth are scary.

  • Computer programming and related tech skills. Why? Because I've been doing as a job and for fun for over 35 years and have been teaching it for 5 so I guess it works out.

  • We're a small household with minimal laundry so 5 gallons is more like a 10 year supply for us... I'm here for it : D

  • I didn't think about that. I guess my vocabulary is in the gutter : /

  • January 1 to January 31st

  • I'm not positive but I think the censored word is

    shit

  • You ever revisit an old problem, search it, find someone with the exact problem and as you read it think "yes... YES! This person has my exact same problem! Wait, the tone sounds familiar..."

    Only to realize you found your own post from an old throwaway account? With no replies.

    Because I have. It's soul crushing.

  • Hi there thermostat buddy. 19.5 here too.

  • I like you. Thank you.
