Trying to be memorable is a narcissist trait I wish would go away. After the planet cleanses itself of humanity because America elected their chief narcissist, there will be nobody around to read Wikipedia.

Most important for me is being able to simply read the ballot and research candidates at my leisure. Not sure about failure points, my state has used mail voting for many years without issue and if Trump’s lackey makes ballots go missing I will know because I can track my ballot on the state’s website.

A really important point is some voting machines are ‘ballot marking devices’ which give you a human readable paper ballot with your choices (good) however the actual counting is done using a barcode or QR code (bad). There is never a good reason to prevent voters from verifying their ballot has their intended choices, yet some areas still insist on using these absurd machines.

Just today I was listening to Peter F. Hamilton’s “Exodus: The Archimedes Engine” and the mention of attack dogs with diamond-tipped teeth sounded a little wacky for sci-fi. Sometimes life can be stranger than fiction.

See this is how Mother Russia shows she cares by funding dim tools like Tim Pool to spread their form of kleptocracy.

If a neighbor asked me I would be happy it’s not going into a landfill and offer to help carry it. Or I would tell you about the ancient curse it holds, and why no mortal should possess it.

Amen 🙌

Is this how some people live? Install Plex or Jellyfin for your own sanity.

For a static site Cloudflare Pages is good for free hosting, doing a git commit and watching the site change in a matter of seconds is very satisfying.

My parents are still very Mormon, which means being openly bigoted is bad manners. That said, I don’t think I ever visit without my dad saying something about climate change being a hoax, illegals voting in California, wildfires being part of some AntiFa conspiracy, etc. Can’t tell whether he sincerely believes this nonsense or is just trying to get a reaction. I try not to engage other than asking where he learned about it and how he’s tried to fact check it. These discussions are not productive, and I don’t visit unless it’s a major holiday or someone’s birthday.

If you don’t need realtime parity, I’ve had no issues on my media server running mismatched drives pooled via MergerFS with SnapRAID doing scheduled parity.

I bought an $800 half stack guitar amplifier in 2009 and rarely play with the volume above 1, let alone play shows with it. But it looks neat.

The role description describes it as a volunteer role, using the word volunteer three times. So unless they have AI posting these without proofreading I’ll assume they meant what they wrote.

I would hope Nintendo is not using returned hardware for replacements. It happens accidentally in every job I’ve worked, but absolutely should not be the normal process.

When I stare and blink my eyes I see Joe Pesci, maybe from how I was raised.

The AI lied to me, as I booted a Fedora/Gnome VM and couldn’t find that option. My only other guess would be maybe an extension like this was installed and forgotten about because I tend to do that

I would also badger the dealership and check the status because they might say, “we forgot to submit the paperwork for your plates.”
