In my hand, currently.

Bro remember the top-down GTA games?! Those were legit.

Yeah that’s what I’ve done. I’ve gotten very picky about which apps I allow to notify me of things. A week or two of turning off all the ones you don’t want and your phone gets quiet real quick.

Never heard of the Jelly Star! $200 bucks?! I just ordered one.

I can only imagine that they’re offering it to me because my account is like 15 years old… Either that, or I have about 200k post karma and 100k comment karma. (Not big numbers compared to karma whores, but still more than your average user).

Lol they’re trying to sell me shares at “pre-ipo prices”.

I asked if they have any puts available… So far no reply…

Yeah true. Is power delete suite still the preferred method?

My man might be wearing the ol rose-colored glasses when it comes to the Limewire “heyday” of piracy.

I remember many times accidentally infecting my computer with a virus through that thing. That repair process was a HUGE pain in the ass.

I was stoned one night looking for concert footage and instead I got a video of a woman getting her head blown off at close range. That shit FUCKED. ME. UP. for a hot minute.

Todays situation is better in my opinion.

Man there’s something about talking on a cell phone that makes me feel like I have to yell, and thus, hate talking on them.

As I remember land lines, they never felt that way.

Sounds like it’s time for me to actually log back in and delete all my old posts. I’ve been putting that off for too long.

A few weeks ago my wife threw a book at me. I found that one to be particularly surprising.

Dude I feel this from my Arduino drum machine project.

Thing works great, except it randomly false triggers, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why.

RoboRock FTW

Yep beware, any time a company you do business with sends you a letter saying something like,

“Good news! (Our old company name) is now (new company name)!”

You’re about to get fucked.

This is starting to sound a little too slavery-y…

Their ping is gonna be out of this world.

I see what you did there.

Seeing my new car to buy an older one and have no car payment. Feels like a step backwards.

I bought Factorio like four years ago. I’m just waiting for a six-month period in my life where I can do nothing but play that game, because I know that as soon as I start it, that’s what the next six months of my life will be.

I’ve never understood the “slim” thing console makers have been doing.

“Behold! Our latest game system!”

six months later

“Behold! The system we should have made in the first place!”

I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, “SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don’t actually know what either of those words mean.”

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I’ve always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn’t know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I’m actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I’d need to read like six other articles, which I can’t do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I’ve taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I’ll regularly read articles that I don’t fully understand, assuming that I’ll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I’m reading about over time.
