My favorite part of this entire article is the author referring to Trump as a "former game show host."

Yeah, but I think I have like half of those devices in a desk drawer.

Please, hold on to this reality as long as you can.

My brain scrambled "war cash" into "car wash" and I was ready to grab my pitchfork over legislators getting free car washes.

You have to successfully run at least three consecutive macros in order to unlock the Hatsune Miku skins.

For a bounty hunter? Definitely. For shift supervisor at the run-down Walgreens on the shitty side of town in Des Moines next to a Matress Firm and the CBD shop? Less so.

Call me when they release the Frosted Giga-Wheat™, which is projected to be the size of Iceland and consists of approximately 5.15 billion wheats.

This, to me, is one of the biggest fallacies of tech companies claiming they care about sustainability goals. No matter the application, most of our hardware is made with materials that come from central Africa. Those mines and facilities are largely controlled by China. Whatever you think of China politically, you have to recognize that many of the sustainability disclosures that, say, Apple is making are premised on these mines self-reporting compliance with certain standards. In practice, miners are using outdated, poorly maintained equipment. Commonly, they're using shovels and even their hands.

You can write all the cutesy reports you want with stock photos of green leaves, hands holding soil, and smiling "farmers." Unless and until you're directly funding better means of extracting raw materials like cobalt from the ground, companies' claims about their commitment to ESG should be completely dismissed as nonsense.

Well, this looks like a goddamn nightmare.

Simply grab two toes and gradually spread them until the skin begins to tear. Repeat for each pair of toes.

Prowlarr is the preferred search engine for all the *Arr services. I switched because when you make adjustments to Prowlarr (adding/removing/modifying sources, changing search priorities, etc.), those changes automatically carry over to Sonarr/Radarr/etc.

I have a ton of sources that I micromanage because I have turbo-autism. It was a pain in the ass to tinker with the sources in multiple places with Jackett, and I wound up with lots of gaps and asymmetry. Prowlarr is just cleaner.

I'm gonna laugh my kidneys off if E. Jean Carroll winds up being his undoing.

😵‍💫 Ouch!

Simmer down, Stick.

I use Voice by Paul Woitaschek (available on F-Droid). It has a nice, simple interface and a few really useful features. I've gone through dozens of audiobooks in various formats with it and haven't had any problems yet.

They have a profile on Threadless, and I'm fucken dying at some of these shirts.

I can't believe you've done this.

Wait, now do Goose and Danny D.

What kind of surfaces do you have? For example, I've found CLR is good for grout and tiles, while a basic bleach-based spray is good for porcelain and fiberglass. You can also mix in an ammonia-based cleaner if you want to recreate the Third Battle of Ypres in your bathroom.
