How cumbersome.

But that’s not the message you get. I’ve seen that message (or last 5, or whatever), but this one sounds like it can’t be the same as your immediate previous password.

Ha, yeah. I wasn’t thinking about it. It’ll just stay as a list starting with 400 then.

You’re awesome for letting me know for next time.

400. But don’t be fooled. Between brain, bones, and waste you’ll only get get 200 double quarter pounders out of them. A little more if you add beef or pork fat to make them juicy.

ETA: I have no fucking clue what is going on with the formatting.

I have no idea but I like to imagine hundreds of editors rushing out every time there’s a prominent death to be the first to change it.

I’ve been using free software (both free as in freedom and free as in beer) off and on since I discovered slackware in the 90s, but I’ll be the first to admit I’m not plugged into the scene. I’m not plugged into most scenes except possibly rock and Americana music, and I know all the gross shit that happened there. Rock music especially. And that may actually be why I tend to avoid getting plugged in.

But I went through the whole report. I’m sad to find out someone with such lofty ideals in one area is so scummy. A lot of that just sounds like typical neckbeard idiocy dialed up to maximum. And if he were just any neckbeard or incel on the street everyone could just dismiss him. But he’s a prominent figure that represents a movement spouting gross and harmful shit. It has nothing to do with the validity of the movement, nor does it remove the value of free software, but him being a keynote speaker everywhere and being so involved makes things feel dirty.

I don’t know. I didn’t take my medication today so I’m scattered. I just hate when people doing important or influential work are gross people, especially if they have harmful attitudes towards minors.

I had no idea. With all of the things I have to follow on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis some things are just going to fall through the cracks. “Minor public figure holds reprehensible views” won’t generally hit my radar. “Major public figure did something reprehensible” may not hit my radar depending on how busy or drunk I am in a given week, which will leave me wondering why people hate them years later.

I’m not saying this as a criticism of you. You brought it up which is super valuable. There’s just so much shit to keep up with that I always appreciate context because I have other things going on and rarely have any idea what reprehensible thing a particular person has said or done.

Rusty Shackleford is just the name he uses to order Pizza with.

Hey, that’s fair! Not everything speaks to everyone. World would be terribly boring if it did.

With the exception of the words “somewhat overrated”, I agree with this 100%. I have probably ~1000 hours in bg3 and just shy of 100 in expedition 33.

I wish I could play Expedition 33 for the first time again. It’s amazing. And it is very much a work of art.

With BG3 I can play it for the first time again by making different choices, adding mods, and choosing different classes. It’s a very fun video game with a lot of choices.

I’d highly recommend both. If someone is searching to fill between 40 and 100 hours (I like side quests, ok?) then Expedition 33 is absolutely amazing. If someone were looking to spend a couple of years before they have the money for another game then I can absolutely recommend BG3.

I didn’t even know these sorts of mini racks existed. now I’m going to have to get one for all my half sized preamps if they’ll fit. That would solve like half the problems with my studio room and may help bring back some of my spark for making music.

I have no recs. Just want to say I’m so excited to see this. I can probably build an audio patch panel.

All great options. I’ll throw in two here. Cocaine and Able by Amigo the Devil and Broken Window Serenade by Whiskey Myers.

It is exhausting. I’ve been in a relationship where my partner had no one but me. I don’t consider myself super outgoing but I have plenty of friends that I enjoy spending time with. I like playing music on the weekends. I like going to do things, sometimes last minute. I got fat and depressed because she just wanted to sit at home and for me to sit home with her.

It soured me on relationships for a bit. The next one was the opposite. She wanted to be out every night and didn’t understand I had to work. She never ever wanted to just hang at the house. It was also exhausting.

I’m open to a relationship if the person has similar patterns or doesn’t want me next to them 24/7. I can handle if they’re an independent person, but currently everything feels like either far too much or far too little so I’ve been doing my own thing for a while. I’ve got someone that I’m casual with. It’s perfect for now.

Years of drinking destroyed mine, and it’s all my fault. I would also try it.

Is this another US thing where employers require you to purchase the vehicle before you can work for them?

Not bus drivers, but some truckers are owner/operators.

Oh shit, I read it wrong! I stand by it though. They were all Lyle’s.

They weren’t Dennis’ children. They were Lyle’s.

White trash me: what’s the issue?

Same, buddy. We used to do this, except it was three quarters lemonade and a quarter whatever cheap liquor everyone brought. So you’d have whiskey, both light and dark rum, vodka (lots of vodka) tequila, gin if one specific guy showed up… Pretty much anything cheap.

Trash cans are not safe to drink out of.

My buddy still has one of those in his garage.

That’s how I stay young. I’ve been 29 for years.
