Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

  • I get that works for you, and that is great. That wouldn't work for us, for a variety of reasons, foremost among them is a particularly nasty variety of invasive ticks.

  • Nah, they just hate black and/or poor people.

  • For the lazy

  • We accept your proposal

  • Alpha Centauri

  • Based on the novel with the same name, by Stephen King. So that's another option.

  • Eh. That seems like wishful thinking. He just blamed it on "the other guy" because his base is gullible and ill-informed.

  • That... seems like a poor design.

  • Also Fennec, iirc.

  • Thunderbird really is terrible, but for some reason it never occurred to me to find an alternative. Just commenting here so I remember to look into Betterbird.

  • Oh I'm definitely cynical, sometimes too much so, but its often warranted.

    You're right, though, just because the (vast) majority are money grabs doesnt mean they all are. Lots of businesses are started by someone trying to figure out how to make a living doing something they love. Or genuinely trying to solve a problem, money being secondary. I've never had that drive, but I do know e.g. artists who are "in business" for themselves and quite happy at it.

  • My PC was HAL_9000 for over a decade. It got tedious to type, so it's now just "box."

  • I skimmed that article but didnt get the joke until I came back. BRB, making a new gmail account.

  • Very German of you.

  • My first computer job was at a college that used names from ancient history and mythology. So I mostly still do that. Medea is my plex server. Zeus and Hera are the hosts for docker and VMs. Heimdall is the router.

    The only break in the pattern is my storage, which is currently NASC and NASD...

    Oh and my personal machine used to be HAL_9000 (complete with wallpaper and theme sounds) but now I just name it "box."

  • Sub tato for the bacon and that's what I have nearly every day for breakfast. Mmm. This damn thread is making me hungry.
