I stick to brain based. I have a system that makes it easy for me to remember which password is for where. Step one is to use passphrases instead of password. Obligatory reference: xkcd correct horse battery staple

Whatever I put in the fridge. I work from home, and I enjoy cooking, so the cantina at work is great.

Thank you for this. I still have many questions but at least they’re fewer now.

Also, “smuggling raisins around” is a new favorite term of mine

This too sounds like “gender affirming self care”

Glad it works for you. Remote tele health is an actual doctor, right? As in, all the credentials, just not in-person appointment? That makes it immediately more legit than the banner ads I saw on shad6 websites eons ago…

I have some many questions… feel free to answer as many as you want, if any at all:

• Where does the breast tissue come from?
• How does one sculpt a nipple?
• Are they as sensitive as before? I mean, on the receiving end of stimuli, does it feel like an organically grown whole grain breast, or is it more like… uh… elbow skin? I have no idea how the neuroplastics would work…
• Does having breast cancer on one side automatically increase the chances of cancer on the other side? I would think symmetry isn’t a given?
• Were you allowed to choose size and shape? (If so, did you go for the tried and true original, or somethingelse entirely?)
• Hope you’re doing well today. Not a question, I just wanted to say (write) it. Live long and prosper.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but of all places I feel this is a safe space for them…

Broad strokes: Coincidentally having read up on both, it’s kind of like pirates vs navy in the 1700s: They’re both capable forces, but one side is superior in material while the other is superior in training.

Doctrines on the cartel side will be pseudo-militaristic in that some may have had military training at some point. But the cartel haven’t had the chance to drill the fundamentals on a daily basis.

And going back to the pirate analogy: A pirate ship is specifically tailored towards piracy, and will easily outgun any naval vessel of the same size. But while pirates can fire a huge fucking salmon salvo (ducking autocorrect), the navy is able to unleash a (slightly) smaller salvo at a higher rate of fire.

What I’m gett8ng at is that an army, due to the nature of how armies operate, may have trouble equipping Private First Class Gonzales with the latest and greatest hardware. But Gonzales’ vocational is to use his pewpew shooter all day every day to the best of his ability, and will therefore be better trained.

Cobain money can buy you bling, but it won’t buy you man-hours dedicated to army drills and squad tactics.

I thought those gels were a scam. Do you apply it where you want (more) hair growth?

Considering the amount of sugar in US bread, I’d say they already are.

Autocorrect with skynet aspirations, or is this a medical procedure I’ve never heard of?

Note to self: Get around to wiring my UPS onto my management network for monitoring and graceful shutdown of non-essential stuff.

I was pleasantly surprised at Mobile, AL, of all places. Probably wouldn’t want to live there, but it seemed better than the other US cities I’ve been to

In no particular order:

• Half Life
• Factorio
• Kerbal Space Program
• Quake
• Minecraft
• Rollercoaster Tycoon

Yes, that’s 6. Sue me.

Honorable mention: Baldur 3, Dwarf Fortress, Mario 3, Deus Ex, Day of the Tentacle

Noodling on one of my guitars

When I need to run something that I can’t or won’t run at home, I usually spin up a machine at Hetzner. Cheap, reliable, and setup is fast. The server auction can give you a pretty nice hardware stack at a low cost, and you can cancel at any time.

However, the cases were I use hosting providers are becoming fewer and fewer, as I’m in the final stages of rebuilding my “homelab” the way I want it. If only those UPS batteries could arrive soon…

My dad died in 2014. I still have his number saved. No, I don’t delete contacts very often.

Seconded, although Mark ruined the concept of the Metaverse. And that sex scene with a 15 year old might need some rewriting. I love the book for its storyline and world building, but certain developments of the past 20 years stains the book.

Speaking of Stephenson, I wonder if Cryptonomicon could work as a TV series. Filming the two time periods without them seeming completely disconnected would be challenging, though.
