  • Maybe at a cushy white collar office job. I work at a hospital. There is no down time when you are on the clock, that’s true for nurses, doctors, housekeeping, pharmacy, lab, food service - I’d imagine the same is also true for all sort of service industry workers, and also factory workers, farmers, construction, and so so many others. Let’s stop pretending that everyone just sits in front of a computer all day.

  • I am dyslexic. Feel like I’d have an easier time reading a barcode!

  • Most small towns I’ve visited in California, Oregon, and Washington - even the very conservative parts - still had one. But maybe it’s a west coast thing? I haven’t visited too many small towns in other states where it is legal.

  • Obduction was good. It had some issues, but it’s up there with the classic stuff. Firmament, unfortunately, was not good. Felt more like a walking simulator. There were few puzzles and they were not difficult at all. Not sure what happened. It’s pretty though.

    Riven is by far my favorite of the classic series. They are working on a modern remake of that next and I’m pumped!

  • I can hear the music.

  • .mil Military (MURRICA)

    That is what made this whole .ml problem. Some people have apparently accidentally leaked American state secrets to Mali by typo.

  • Switched over from Spotify after they went too hard on Joe Rogan, so I never used Google Music. I like YouTube music. That said, they’ve just started adding podcasts - really hope they don’t go the way of Spotify.

  • I tried for way too long to figure out the bottom left quadrant before I realized it’s just three images.

  • The first species on Earth for sure. Climate change seems more and more likely to be the great filter.

  • 80% fingers

  • I thought everyone had a SFW account and a NSFW account…

  • Is that where it is going? Hard to tell from the trailer. I honestly felt like maybe it’ll go someplace unexpectedly dark that the trailer isn’t hinting at, but we shall see. You are probably right, they tend to telegraph what is going to happen pretty exactly in trailers these days.

  • Looks good. Lots of jokes about dragons in the YouTube comments.

  • How common is this really? Is it actually common and it’s being shared to create a commotion, or is this something the armed forces are only asked to do when shit is getting serious? (Or is it somewhere in the middle?)

  • Glad you know added that last sentence, but I know manny young liberals who tell me they will vote for Trump or DeSantis because Biden hasn’t gotten enough done. Republican obstructionism works and it’s scary.

  • I watch Linus from time to time, but don’t get that sort of recommendation (unless I watch some gun videos!). I only watch his tech stuff and don’t know anything about his politics. Now I’m worried.

  • There is this remote cabin in the woods belonging to my parents I used to visit frequently, mostly in the summer. I had a chest fridge hooked up to a basic solar panel system I built. One July while visiting I had fully stocked the fridge with food, when I had issues with the solar panel batteries and I couldn’t keep the fridge powered on. I kept putting off cleaning it for the rest of the summer, and then the winter too. Next summer I finally worked up the nerve. Everything, even the cardboard packaging had melted into this brown sludge full of many generations of maggots and flies. The only things semi recognizable was the plastic containers. It took me days and so much bleach to clean it well enough to trust using it again. If it wasn’t such a pain to get out there in the first place I’d have probably tossed the whole thing, but I’m cheap. Still have it, though I don’t get out there much anymore. If my battery dies again I’m throwing everything out right away!
