US voter turnout is abysmal, so half of the voters means like 30% of the people.

Never feel bad for pulling insane shenanigans in munchkin. That’s liberally what it’s for.

Dude, just use th.

Like the A in apple.

“Push here to open” on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don’t even bother perforating the boxes anymore.

Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it’s a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I’d nominate it for this award.

I got a call from this woman in Boston, out was just a product activation call so I had to read her a 20-character activation string. We use the NATO Phonetic Alphabet for those, to reduce confusion over the phone.

The last character was Y-Yankee. I followed that up with “but I guess that’s a politically incorrect word around Boston, huh?” And she goes on an absolute tirade about how people are way to sensitive, throwing out a few racist dogwhistles along the way.

I just said “Ma’am, I was making a joke about the rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.”

She went silent for a few seconds and hung up on me.

Some useful simulations for understanding many proposed voting styles, and the potential drawbacks of each.

Man, I knew fingerprint encryption was bad but that is nuts.

Honestly don’t even remember, but it was in my peak “know enough to be dangerous” days in college. I almost certainly didn’t have to go that nuclear to fix it, but that’s what I did.

Take 2 of Arch, after that wipe was completed, went pretty well. It revived an old piece of shit laptop for another few years before its motherboard gave out.

My first attempt at running Arch, I managed to fuck it up so badly that I had to write a script to write zeros to every bit of my HDD. Fun times.

My previous job finally got off of lotus notes in 2019.

What is your background. “A job using Linux” is super broad and remote work only narrows it further. If you don’t have plenty of experience, it’ll be hard to get a remote position.

The actors would have aged way more than their characters at that point. Especially the kids and the very old characters.
