Ok i’ll do one:
BigPanda: 5/10 accurate but a bit verbose.
Panda: 10/10. Nailed it.
Sprig Amanda: 2/10. Siri probably auto-co-wrecked you.
Hey Asshole: 7/10, I’ll respond, because I’m from Boston. I’m Guessing you are too.
Papi: 0/10 anywhere but onlyfans where it’s 10/10 and it’ll cost you at least $35
Laptop of Theseus
Our company really needs something like the Framework laptop. I would love to have a shelf of parts here and just swap out the broken bits, or a mainboard with an upgraded chip and send people on their way. The goal of a laptop should be that it ends up in a ship of Theseus situation where parts get swapped out for such a long time that eventually it's a new machine but at such a gradual rate that it's sustainable. We shouldn't need to replace an entire rig so darn often. I think our next pickup is going to be a Framework laptop DIY, because our guys don't need a $2000 machine to smash but I do need to run Windows pro (preferably 10). We're a small shop so we're not enough to drive much in the way of hardware purchases, but every little bit counts.
Git Sum Fahkin Dunks, Kehd!
CoWorker: You sound pissed Me: No, I'm fine why do you think that? CoWorker: Because when you're mad you sound like you're straight out of central casting for the next departed movie Me: I also do that when I'm tired. I fought for a long time to try to get as much region-ality out of my voice as possible, so when I'm Mad or Tired I sound a lot different" CoWorker: You just said tie-uhd, A Lawt, and Fawht. Me(Jokingly): See, now I'm just mad.
This is a pic I took a looong time ago that I hand processed in rodinal at our old apartment. We have cats so yes that's probably cat hair that clung to it while drying. I would really like to get back into developing my own film, but we have a child now and rodinal might as well be rat poison. I've been reading on "Caffeinol" which is a a mixture of washing up powder and instant coffee. I think my next roll is going to get processed at home :)
It's not much, but it's honest work. Testing my qwerty keyboard speeds, I might actually want to try out a dvorak layout to see if I can go faster. (this was on a 60% with mx browns)
I really like the idea of up-cycling old office machines like this. I used to get tons of old machines from businesses and messed around and learned so much that way when I was younger. it promotes learning on a machine that would otherwise hit a landfill. I actually kind dig that aesthetic too.
Gritter names in Scotland... awesome
Did you know there is a website to track road gritters in Scotland? Did you also know the names are freakin hilarious?

Making Indie Games is getting harder - Ben Esposito

THUNDAH.. Hoothoothoothooooot hoooooot
Just got OWL for Exchange working with Thunderbird and can now leave outlook closed on my machine. Had one little snag and the support team got back to me in literally a minute or two. Worth the small expense per year. Not Sponsored, just a very happy customer. (And their logo is adorable)

I'm typographically Old
OMG. I use Ellipsis to sound like I'm trailing off... like... all the time. I never use multiple lines to separate my thoughts either because I'd rather send a big block of text that fully communicates my thought than have someone hear their text alert go off like a billion times (which drives me freakin crazy, just say it all at once, stop pinging me !) So if you THINK I'm mad because of my punctuation? I'm not. You will absolutely expressly know if I'm mad in text, because it will be stated in black and white, and yikes... very plainly.

Just doing his best to get back to the sea Duuuudes....
I've seen people say " AI 'Art' Isn't Art ". I'm not a cultural gatekeeper of any sort, but I can tell you, the images I make through nightcafe are a heck of a lot more "art-ish" than the stick figure gibberish I draw by hand. Be it art or not, here's an image I liked.
It looks so sad to be bio-luminescent.
Wednesday is my favourite show... maybe even ever.
"Turkey Pardon"
I always liked the turkey pardon in weird sort of way since I was young. If you're not familiar with the term, that's when the Actual US President takes time out their day to stride out on the White House Lawn, crack a few jokes and "Pardon" a few turkeys, who will then essentially "Go Live on a Farm Upstate".

It was the sort of political stunt all sides could just chill out about and enjoy as a mild change of pace from their normal battling. But the title is awkward to me... "Turkey Pardon".
According to Wordnik, A Pardon is: To release (a person) from punishment or disfavor for wrongdoing or a fault: synonym: forgive
Excuse me, but what did these turkeys do to offend? They're not even wild birds prone to causing suburban traffic back ups (Like my morning commute), or to literally use crosswalks in Cambridge, MA. They're bred to be eaten. (Yikes).
Why does a being, who is doing nothing but existing and being mildly tasty with some gravy, need to be pardoned? An animal simply existing has done nothing wrong.
I guess I just finally woke up and smelled the stuffing: Speciesism is both Very Real, and Very Wrong.
Maybe take a break over this holiday and don't eat another sentient being? Lets be kind to ALL. Not just to whom we deem worthy.
Maybe hit up a trader joes for some meat free options? I'll be having some of of the Vegan Tofurky Roast, but Vegan outreach has plenty of great options that don't involve taking a life... If you decide to go with meat, that's fine, you do you; I won't judge you, I ain't yo momma. (well, maybe I might judge a tiny bit, but it's not Super Mean Judgey, Just like, a little bit because you know animals bred for food suffer terribly their entire lives but you're still ok with this... kind of slight judgey) But if you're on the fence, the excuse of "there are no vegetarian options" is very, very outdated.

When I arrive on the South Lawn of the White House, the pardoning turkeys are loose: two substantial birds—nearly waist-high to their human
