I often use the phrase “that’s definitely an oopsie. Maybe even an oopsie daisy” at work

We don’t grow our crops in a desert. They grow in very specific regions of the world, often in areas that are suitable due to natural formations and easily obtainable water. Most of Canada is forested land that is uninhabited with no infrastructure such as roads, running water, or electricity - not to mention there has never been a large agricultural presence in those areas, so it would have to be started from scratch, if it is possible at all.

When you say we’ll huddle around the proverbial fires, it might be a very small human population. Our civilization (likely including both of us) probably won’t be around at that point.

Plants don’t grow without light. Plants can’t survive extreme heat and drought.

Once it gets too hot or too dry to grow crops, it won’t matter anymore. Call me a doomer, but we aren’t doing enough to stop that future from happening.

Walternate from Fringe. Absolutely beautifully acted and exactly what I’d expect from a man who had his child abducted from a parallel version of himself.

It may be overkill, but I run all my network traffic in a VM. I never load my client before I turn on the VPN, and make sure to use the kill switch functionality. There’s a step by step that should be followed for every time to remain secure in what you are downloading or uploading.

Most consumer routers will be nowhere close to 10Gbps… so yeah.

I sat dumbfounded for like 5 minutes. Highly recommend it.

SOMA left me questioning my own consciousness, what it is to be human, and loneliness.

I saw Independence Day 3 times in the theater.

Damn. Asking the real questions

Yeah it was chatgpt

It helped me pick out a Christmas gift for my wife. She said it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever gotten.

I just follow the Mr. PeanutButter philosophy on life at this point

“The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn’t a search for meaning. It’s to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you’ll be dead”

Basically stop thinking so deeply about the enigmas you will never understand and try to enjoy the small things in life. A walk in a park. Helping someone less fortunate. Cooking a good meal, etc.

Ohio so hot right now

We have these in Seattle too

Our school computer lab had Mac LC II computers. On them they installed a software called “Foolproof” which would prevent users from making any changes to the system outside of specific directories, iirc. I realized it was a system extension by reading the helpfiles on the computer, and that you could disable all extensions by rebooting and holding the shit key on startup.

The guy who ran the computer lab was not too happy that a 10 year old figured all this out.

Smoothie of some sort that has all my macros/vitamins/minerals. At least not dying from malnutrition.
