Exactly. I use NixOS, btw.

“…or is this actually a thing now?”

Always has been.

I’ll see myself out.

I had to scroll way too far to find this. Especially considering that I have a desktop with full disk encryption, I don’t worry about it. If anyone ever did break into my house and take my computer, they would have to unplug it first; at that point, the disk would encrypt, and they’d have some really nice hardware which sucks for me, but that’s all they’d get.

Meanwhile, Twitch, a company owned by Amazon, gives me ads for things that I’m not even interested in. I mean, they totally fail at targeted advertising. I got an ad for the VA yesterday, which is fine, but it can’t be targeted at me because I’m not a veteran. The military wouldn’t even let me in because I have asthma. Never change, Twitch.

It all started back in 1998, when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted 16 feet through an announcers table.

My grandpa talked about doing this back in the 1930s with his brothers, and by that I mean, they put their neighbor’s cow on top of their barn, somehow. I think this is one of those things that, in one form or another, has always existed and always will.

I was gonna say, I haven’t used Windows in years.

In every way that can possibly be interpreted, yes.

The markings remind me a lot of my girl. I’m not sure if I’d call my girl polite, lol.

People are gonna pillory me for this, but flashlights.

First off, you want something that runs off two AAAs, regardless of price. If you can’t walk into any gas station, or any grocery store, or what have you, and buy batteries for your flashlight when it dies, it’s not gonna matter how bright it was before it died. You also don’t want anything brighter than ~200 lumens at the very most, unless you actually need one brighter, for some reason; they drain batteries way faster. You want something thin enough that you’re able to clip it inside your pocket and forget it’s there. You also want one that has an end switch that toggles between two modes: “full power” and “turned off.” If you have one that toggles between low and high settings, you will only use the high setting. If you have one that toggles between low and high settings, and strobe and SoS, you will only use the high setting. Every additional step in between “all the way off” and “all the way on” is just friction you don’t need, that will do nothing but piss you off every time you use the damned thing.

The features that make big, fancy flashlights expensive, are anti-features.

Imagine the male equivalent of the same exact ad: “My penis FINALLY smells healthy”…

You mean you’ve accepted that the cat is in charge and not the other way around, right? Because yeah, that is what usually happens.

Beautiful.

Oof. Yeah, I don’t use my computer for work, so I’d never even thought of that. That’s annoying.
