I find some places now wait a few days to kick in the good sales. Then stagger it to by 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%

Its a game to figure out the sweet spot between discount and selection.

I played Overlord 1 when it came out. Loads of fun. Like evil pikmen. The goblins are great with thier “For the masta” and “For me!” When they loot.

I don’t use tree supports much so I was hyper focused on the tree…

Oddly branches tree. Doesn’t look organic. Not a tree? Is it like one of those finger hand things? With tiny hands at the top?

Hands look like they’re holding up a- oh shit they’re tree supports!

PSA: stop doom scrolling right when you wake up.

Yeah I’m made about these unrepairable and phone home cars.

I got a 2010s car that’s dumb and it works.

I really want a SUV with adaptive cruise control. Preferably hybrid 4WD. I’m shit out of luck for privacy.

I just did the first joke in my wife yesterday.

Her: “Get out”

Well see how she treats the groan… We got a one more avacado.

I love this rofl

I was talking to my best friend who has a girlfriend that has a gun h9bby about Valentines day.

I told him to buy her a model Tommy gun for vday.

I told her in person he refused my advice.

Her response: “that’s fucked up” 😐

This actually happened to me last month. I had to touch code from a previous team/project I was on.

I got the call for a collaboration/consult. I forgot everything about it. Jumped in a meeting next day anyway. We pulled up the code. Everything was documented and I had a section with parameters for a “wish” feature that they actually wanted finally. I pointed it out and told them the needful to finish the feature.

Thank you past me. I’ll have to buy you a drink.

Then I had a nice 5pm Scotch.

I managed to get real lucky getting my cloud architect job without a bachelors.

The trade off was loads of work experience in the exact field a job needed and a recommendation from someone on the project.

I still broke six figures before that job offer without the job recommendation. That was from job hopping for 3 years.

Gotta keep your resume up to date and literally keep applying. Got a new job? Update resume with new gig and keep applying.

Now I’m happy where I’m at. Fantastic work culture and comfortable salary. Can I make more? Maybe but my work life balance is good and I can pay my bills/save money.

I have this but also visual voicemail. So I still never listen to voices unless the transcript bugged out

“Computers can make up things that look real. Like superhero movies and kid movies (disney/Pixar). This AI crap just made it cheaper and easier so there’s lots of fake stuff everywhere”

My elderly parents showing me clearly AI videos of a $30 robot puppy…

I couldn’t convince them it was AI. I tried to explain CGI with shit like Pixar and Disney movies but it didn’t work. NICOO puppy

That shit should be illegal.

Enshittification

Optimization?
What’s that?

Scrivener is pretty damn good if you’re into writing.

For novels, screenwriting or things like DnD it’s got a corkboard with scene cards you can drag and drop around to make the story flow better.

It also has character management with little cheat sheets for notes. You can track character persona/relationships nicely.

$60, lifetime purchase with free upgrades and you can install on all your computers in your household

Off topic but I’d recommend printing this stand on its side vs the back.

In its current orientation the stress would be dispersed directly against the layers and it’ll be more prone to break.

If you print it in the side it’ll spread the stress across multiple layers. The annoying bit would be the need for supports on that split.

For the lines you could try a fuzzy texture.

I could see a use case for this…

You work in a office and keep this in your shirt pocket set to voice activation.

Good to capture any conversations to CYA in funky situations. Basically wearing a wire.

The fact that you found this is wild

Yeah. I have random old laptops with fresh Linux on them for no reason. Good to have out to a friend/family or use as a air-gapped sandbox.

I had to look up parvo…

Jeez that’s awful. There is no treatment. Just support and hope they pull through.

Feline panleukopenia (also called feline distemper) is a highly contagious, potentially fatal disease of cats caused by the feline panleukopenia virus (FPV, also called feline parvovirus). Kittens are most severely affected.
