Paying for usenet access and an indexer is worth it to me. My ISP’s only ever gotten on me about torrenting so that’s a last resort for me and it doesn’t work well with “file sharing” nodes on my VPN anyway. Nothing saturates my 500GB plan like usenet downloads.

I was a regular dabber for years when I quit cold turkey in anticipation of drug tests during job applications. I was completely sober for 8 months and when I got hired without a drug test I was so mad. I was expecting more drastic changes during sobriety but the only thing I noticed was the return of dreams. I hadn’t really noticed their absence during my decades of cannabis use but while sober they were much more vivid and outlandish than I remember them being. They’ve since disappeared again once I resumed dabbing shortly after starting work.

floorp on desktop. The developers are a team of Japanese students and it works well enough. I’ve had weird right click behavior after some of their many updates but it syncs with mozilla just fine.

Less than a year ago he promised $2k checks from his tariffs. MAGA has the attention span of a guppy.

I started getting into SBC gaming with the 351MP, moved on to the 405M, and finally got PS2 capable with a Odin 2 Portal and Retroid Pocket Mini V2. Those now gather dust alongside the 5700X3D/9070XT gaming PC I built as a backup to the 5800X3D/7900XTX PC I mainly use as an HTPC. I do not talk about the 11600k/6900XT or 5600/3050 PCs.

Reminds me of the Run the Jewels Lyric: “Killer Mike and El-P fuck boys think about it.”

One generation from “don’t trust wikipedia” to “just ask chatGPT.”

I work at a call center and I wear a mask when I’m in office and haven’t missed a flu or COVID shot yet. I’ve never had COVID and haven’t been sick since at least 2019.

I write well enough for the e-mails I’m required to send, I don’t code, I have no use/desire to generate “art,” and I don’t like search results I have to double check so I’ve been blessed (cursed?) to not have to use “AI” in my daily life.

I paid $845 after tax for a used 7900XTX back in June 2023 to max out my 5800X3D system. I figured by the time I could afford a 5090-class GPU that would make a bottleneck out of my 5800X3D I might be able to skip DDR5 completely. Now I’m unsure if 5090-class performance will ever be available for less than $1k.

The fog is moisture condensing on the cold windshield surface. Use heat directed at the windshield with AC on. The AC dries out the moisture and the heater warms up the surface preventing additional condensation.

You cannot defeat cocaine confidence with mere knowledge and experience.

It’s their governing style after all.

She found a vehicle where her acting won’t be the most artificial thing in the room.

Giving the “C” students a chance to run the government has gone as expected.

The Dolly Parton youtube rabbit hole is deep and satisfying. Every death before his is tragic, but this is worst than most. Of all the songs that will be sung that day I would’ve loved to have heard hers.

Drug problem is a healthcare issue, not a crime issue.
