  • Spring time

    Jump

  • 4am? The Northern Mockingbirds in my area start at 1am due to light pollution.

    Listening to birds scream have sex with me all night every spring is tiresome.

  • Caribou Coffee is preferred in most of Minnesota anyways.

  • I wish that were true, but it's not.

    As a UNIX Admin w/ 30+ years of UNIX admin experience, I am literally required to use Windows 11 for work.

    Yes, I have my Fedora system running XFCE for work too (it's also my vagrant test bed), but I like millions of others am required to use winslop and it's how work requirements go sometimes.

  • 'Meta will shut down'

    Hurray! oh? There's more to the title? Damn.

  • Digg Shut Down Again

    Jump

  • TL;DR:

    AI bots and AI agents destroyed it.

    Sincerely a real problem and I as a sysadmin for various www sites: I loathe them daily.

    If Cisco, F5 etc could invent a way to block these bots at the firewall and load balancer level, they'd make billions.

  • OpenAI delays ‘adult mode’ for ChatGPT to focus on work of higher priority

    Jump

  • Higher Priority = US Pentagon requests for more AI role playing with bombs.

  • They're in every store

    Jump

  • It depends on the person and of course their age.

    Older people shopping are probably in their 70s or less. You just don't see many beyond that age shopping on their own very often.

  • They're in every store

    Jump

  • Hah, that's why I just cropdust their aisle upon turning around.

    I'll just go down the next aisle and wait for the old person to be so grossed out that they move on.

  • Mike Hardaker accuses Reddit of holding organic posting ‘hostage’ unless he buys ads, shares email screenshot

    Jump

  • First mistake: Staying on Reddit. Fuck Spez.

    Second mistake: Complaining about Reddit on X. Fuck Musk.

    Let's just hope this user stays away from substack next.

  • Looks good, but the thumbnail on my phone makes this dish look like a decapitated bird on a plate lol.

  • always a sharp moment

    Jump

  • Honing rods are not sharpening rods, which is what I was referring to (sharpening rods). This one looked like a sharpening rod on my phone, so if it's a honing rod, then I was wrong and apologize.

    And like the other person, I've never invested in using honing rods either.

    I literally grew up having multiple generations dating back into the 1800s (great grandfather was a harpoon sharpener, all of us capable of field dressing an elk) explaining to me that honing rods (cermaic or steel) have been effectively mislabelled and misused all too often as 'sharpening rods' (google it or look on Amazon). Probably adds to why, if it is a honing rod, I couldn't differeciate it from a sharpening rod.

  • Those sharpeners are worthless.

    Whetstones are the only true way to sharpen a good knife.
