The villains are always natural disasters but the Waffle House always wins.

Gen X/Millenial or Oregon trailer or whatever here: Having a hard time not ended every sentence with a FUCK.

FUCK

Thank you, I never had time to read up on its history when I was busy smashing out sites on stupid deadlines with constant last minute changes and morons for project managers.

Isn’t that the point of Postgresql. It’s basically an open source version of MySQL.

I’m sure there are some proprietary nonsense that MySQL has, but I’ve never needed it in 17 years

“Slop rot”

Thought of it when listening to npr mentioning the last two year’s Webster dictionary words of the year. Brainrot (2024) and Slop (2025).

Syria was a water war.

It started after farming collapsed in the drought and the farmers started the revolt.

There’s still going to be wars over resources like water (and now the oil again, for no apparent reason that isn’t power hungry distraction tactics).

He’s making record run back from the border.

It’s got a suppressor to, so the pilots won’t know he’s dead till they land.

I’d rather have Dr. Pepper or cherry cola for the caffeine.

Sugar and gelatin, which is made from Pig bones and hooves mostly.

So depends on your definition of natural.

I used to write it all the steps I thought I’d need as these types of comments, then go back and write the real methods. But I usually replaced the comments with more detailed jsdocs style comments with as much detail about the parameters as returnvalues as possible.

Then I quit web dev and moved to the woods.

I thought pc makers made side profits with all the bloatware they install. And possibly some weird deals with M$ too.

Yeah a local record of blocked ads would be trivial to save and no need to upload.

And they make them so tricky to repair that appliance repair people will either have to charge too much or outright refuse to work on them.

There’s plenty of paid tutorials out there. But that’s the one thing I’m happy to pay for. That and independent or small team software.

And a bunch of the food is more or less fossil fuels turned into corn. Solar+wind+battery with some nuclear power mixed in is probably the way, but long haul transport might be able to work on bio if we could get out of the growth only economy of late stage of capitalism.

I sometimes imagine a world where we make things that last, or can be repaired and our population has leveled off so that we can stop making the line go up and just keep it at some sustainable level. A lot of thing could change and keep us all happy.

Maybe my kid’s grandkids will see it.

Dishwashers, the 3 most recent dishwashers that I have had experience using across 3 very different households and use levels, from 3 different manufacturers, have all had minor to major faults in the 4-5 years since installation, just after the warranty period ended.

Mostly drawer and roller related, but also a pump failure.

Super Mario bros 1 & 3. I still have them working on my old Wii, but I’ve been planning on a retro pi setup for ages.

My OG NES stopped working a decade ago.

Christian shit too, it’s snagged my FIL recently too. The new Catholic movement has a lot of overlap with the MAGA Nazis

Yeah all you gotta do is open it in a private browsing window and see the stream of aI nonsense to know what most morons are watching, or at least clicking.
