At my office always waiting for gitlab runners and kubernetes to get my instances up, takes sooooo long

Yeah Lincoln has lucked out compared to Omaha, feels like they’re getting worse every year here I’ve had a couple close calls in recent years that have required us to seek shelter. Power grid has gone out more frequently too. That said I love the city, it’s great for foodies, but driving I-80 through both Iowa and Nebraska I wouldn’t wish on anyone especially if they are at all fatigued, just a whole lot of not much to look at

I imagine my mother was chucking any that looked off or more likely cutting off the parts that were bad and using the rest.

Main one is cucumbers, after my generous neighbors in my childhood gave us 2 large paper grocery bags of cucumbers and my mother used them in everything for the next month I was done for life, can’t stand them raw, but I will eat pickles all day.

The other would be raw tomatoes, the seed slime is not good for my autistic mouth

Did anyone here use the L shift +O shorthand for load? I feel like I never see it mentioned anywhere

Sneakernet was great back then

I am also this old. C64 for life

My first computer had the following to get a directory listing of a floppy: LOAD”$”,8 That’s how old I am

My provider that tested both of my kids stopped taking insurance for tests, so they wanted me to pay 13000 dollars for spectrum testing, I found a different provider and I still have to get lined up with a test but they’ve already started my adhd symptoms right away. It has been so nice after 34ish years of just coping

Kind of a niche answer, honestly me and my wife of 20+ years might still be “living in sin” if it wasn’t for her decision to join the military, in order for me to move with her to her home base, we had to be married. It allowed me to visit Alaska which was a great adventure, though I am glad that she is out and we are living normal lives since.

Very nice, though I think I would’ve changed email to hail. Love the energy though definitely have plenty of days like that

I too am polyjamorous

There’s a reason they get called vulture capitalists, I’ve been in a company that went private in this way, promises of no day to day changes, then waves of layoffs and selling off of “underperforming” components of the business. Now the original business name no longer exists, they rebranded as one of the brands they saw the most value coming in from to try to give the company a face-lift. And Everytime I’ve been in a buyout either from a equity firm or a public company they always promise no day to day changes, they’re buying us because they like the business, and then either months to a year later, the changes descend. Really not a fan of the corporate flippers that are private equity

I am thanks to a combination of my learning how credit should actually be used and careful budgeting as well as an excellent choice to get into information technology. I can actually support my adult son as well as take care of his brother and my disabled wife and living what would’ve largely been considered middle class by their standard. At this point they were getting mortgage calls for juggling payments and spending wrecklessly while living in a double wide mobile home in the rural appalachias.

I battled a hairy canine attacking him with water conditioner and forged steel combs for the glory of the empire!

US Marshals report to the DOJ, which is part of the executive branch, all Trump needs to do is instruct the DOJ to stand down.

Probably some overlap but I have to assume people who have donated to his election coffers are also promoted to the top of his pick lists

The Atari 800 I had around 1985 or so, I was like 4 at the time, playing donkey Kong and an amber screen

Atari 800 so 6502 1.8 mhz 8k ram cartridge and 5 1/4 floppy. That was my first family computer, the first computer I bought with my own money was a dell T450 Pentium 3 450mhz and an ATI dedicated 3d accelerator card and a 19" Trinitron monitor that I loved to degauss for that satisfying bong noise

According to my high schooler this would be inaccurate, as in his school people would be on their phones, creating tiktoks, screaming across the room at each other and barely getting anything done. This does resemble my high school experience like 20 years ago lol
