Thoughts and prayers!

Has any of you ever SEEN a chicken?

Coo coo ca cha!

That was China’s fault, or the democrats. Not Trump. Remember when he went to Puerto Rico and threw rolls of paper towels at hurricane survivors?

Are we doing bingo or a drinking game?

Wow, you must have been poor! /s

That’s almost half a billion in one month between the two candidates. That money could have paid off a lot of student loans, daycare bills or medical bills.

Some additional context:

This was 99-00. There was no war. Both of my grandparents served in ww2 and Korea to gain US citizenship. My dad came up in the Vietnam era when all his friends were getting drafted (aka forced to go to war). He tried to enlist but was blind in one eye, so they didn’t take him. My brother would have enlisted if it weren’t for a really bad skateboarding injury.

If I were good at football, it would have been university coaches knocking on my door. I was good at something the military was interested in, so they tried to recruit me to enlist.

I was 18 on 9/11/01. And my first thought was that Bush would take us to war, I’d get drafted and I needed to plan my escape to Canada. This was scarier than being recruited. I just wanted to play my bass guitar and smoke my marijuana in peace.

My high school made everyone take the asvab. I must have scored well on it because the military was up my ass. I remember uniformed soldiers regularly ringing the bell and asking for me. I had zero interest in joining the armed services, but they kept coming. My mom started answering the door for me; yelling at them to get lost and leave us alone.

It’s pretty well documented that Trump is a teetotler. He is the way he is without the help of any mood or mind altering substances.

Does Phoenix have a big enough local talent pool needed to staff this kind of operation? Or are they counting on attracting talent from other places in the US?

Ddg shows bing results. Are we sure they won’t regurgitate hallucinations too?

My crippling adhd would like a word

Get in your knees, open your mouths and taste that sweet freedom trickling down.

DID SOMEONE SAY MILKSHAKE?!?

Wow, you’re an ass. I bet I could update a dual monitor setup with different resolutions, refresh rates and positions with nvidia-settings faster than you can editing xorg.conf in vim. My point is that people should use the best tool for the job instead of stroking their superiority complex to prove a point.

slackware has been my daily driver since the late 90s. It still boots to CLI by default. I’m more than comfortable in a terminal emulator. I’m also fine with clicking on stuff. I don’t use portainer, but there’s nothing wrong with people who do.

Beautifully said. I can’t say I’ve come across too many GUI purists, but I’ve definitely been shamed by terminal absolutists who are fine with turning a 1 second process into a 10 second one. There’s a time and place for both.

It’s not much of a gamble. Most of their users won’t notice or care.

Overclockers:
“Give me some liquid nitrogen and I’ll make that 102x.”

Me in the 90s and 00s: yarrrr!

Me in the 10s: it feels good to be legit

Me in the 20s: YARRRRRRRRR!
