This post is pure unfiltered 100% awesome! I find I’m frequently having anxiety attacks these days because of… <gestures at everything>, but reading this massive in-depth writeup, just letting me soak in a hobby I love but don’t have much time for as I’d like, has relaxed me more than anything has in months. Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for these in the future!

It is infuriating to me how often people start explaining the rules without explaining what the actual goals are first. Like, what are we even doing here, start with that, m’kay?

Same! Even though I’m not excited about this timeframe in the Trek universe, I just became exponentially more excited knowing she’s involved.

Same here! This morning’s hangover, as just one example, 100% attributable to Covid! Definitely not the decision to have highballs #5-8 last night.

Oh shit… do I have ADHD?

“Like throwing babies into shark tank,” has immediately entered my personal daily lexicon.

Just make a custom 404 page that returns 13 MBs of junk along with status code 200

How would you go about doing this part? Asking for a friend who’s an idiot, totally not for me.

That’s what bothered me the most. Like okay, in the moment you gotta make a shitty call, I get it. But then never going back to make it right? What the hell is that? That could made a great ep in itself, where you have to deal with the price you paid in order to win.

But nothing, not even a throwaway line. Ugh.

Game devs been reading Use of Weapons, I guess.

I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.

My main uses would be archiving articles and highlighting passages.

There he is! Hey, big shooter!

Rifftrax did this one, was pretty funny as I recall.

Would it please you to know that Mark Hamil was a guest on an episode of the Muppet Show?

…you twit!!

I remember having this conversation with my mom when I was young and saying something like, “Well that’s great then, this is an easy win. Scientists should be able to examine them and confirm the change and then we know what the Bible is telling us is true,” and she replied that that’s not how faith works. And I was dumbfounded and like, “But… it would be so easy…”

And that lesson of how willfully choosing ignorance is somehow something to be valued was a key turning point in my waking up to the bullshit of religion. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I watched it recently and it’s shocking how well it’s held up. Aside from the fashion, it feels like it could have been made last year.

With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?

Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirogen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢

Even in full makeup and under a mask it was unmistakenly him, the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡

Same. I’m fucking furious. I specifically chose it over something like Readwise in order to stay open source. Ugh.

Snowy has the right idea in this picture.
