I've posted before but you absolutely must see Evangelion then "The End of Evangelion". I personally prefer the Netflix dub. I only saw it a couple years ago and I regret waiting so long. There is so much of culture that relies on it. It is such a true incredible anomaly of a creative project.

Old and busted: Stalinism New hotness: Stancilism

From a road trip years ago

This is a real sign on the route to my hometown in Alabama.

Get in, loser. We're observing federal agents.

Stancil is what we call a Shifter, a being that exists outside of time. Except, he seems completely unaware of this. Stancil is every hero in history – and every history – all at once. The pivotal actor. In every time they hate him for it. Eyes that have seen everything, he cannot see in the mirror.

Every day I wake up to a cold world knowing that Stancil woke up earlier and more eager to fight 900 cops than I do to drink a cup of coffee and login to Teams

Mahogany F-18 I picked up from a gentleman near work, who got it as a gift 25 years ago. Going to use it as a separator piece for my military shelf. You can get stuff like it on Etsy but they are absolutely nothing like this one.

Anarcho-Leftists shanking Stancil before he goes out and fights 900 cops

idk you can always clock europeans theres just something where you can tell they're not built to survive an old-growth forest in the new world

Me: Frigid inland hellscape worried if I'll survive in my oxcart Mom in California: Hey look we saw some sea otters aren't they cute

Someone should make a song about how having sex is kind of like driving a car

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

I tanked 4 different vaccines at Walgreens yesterday with no side effects. Tomorrow I'm going for 5 just to see.

Got a nice upscale car battery to replace a series of undersized crappy ones in my car. Two weeks later my car is dead not a hint of power. Battery has shorted itself internally. New battery fixes it immediately. This is called the Bathtub Curve en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub...

Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

When I'm sad I just remember that she made it and quit it. She did what so many of us could not. She floats, free, unburdened.

Every day I login to Bluesky and become more fervent that libbing-out is the only path forward

We didn't know how good we had it with Hunter Biden bring that guy back

On Unix, every user is a phile

The program title almost doesn't matter, having experience with LARGE, VARIED swaths of software that largely pull from the same fundamentals and clone paradigms of eachother, pays off in ways you cannot imagine. Especially Microsoft Office, a bedrock. Nobody wanna see a middle school tier deck.

Early days of Wikipedia had serious discussion if DRM article would be named "Digital Restrictions Management," because it entails you no rights in the technical sense. (I've tried to find the discussion but haven't, trust me we had it)

my spouse becomes this guy at every cybersecurity job he has. other teams forward tickets to him for no justifiable reason other than past performance proving that he will not only say "this isn't my problem" he will also say "because it's this team's problem, for x reason; i know cuz i tested it"

How do you even quantify some team going around to people for weeks trying to figure out why something is happening, and they call you and you have it fixed in 15 minutes.

This is what Chinese youth are watching as your teen slings vBucks to Twitch streamers playing Fortnight with electrodes on their thighs that trigger when they get a donation

There's an OG version of "Silo" with Saoirse Ronan named "City of Ember" from 2008 I'm watching first time in 15 years. It bombed, but immense production design and sets. I rather liked, even if it's YA. Ton of charm. You would never mistake it for a movie made today, and that's a tragedy.

Buying CPU because I can't afford RAM

i want to have my battery removed and be dumped in an e-waste bin

There will always be a job for them in cyber security

This is revolutionary

Only real millennials know about the amazon lube barrel

No, but I do have that 55gal barrel of lube from Amazon

My desktop monitors in ~2007, home and work computer in ~2012, and finally dual 49" at home in 2021

I have isolated most of my private life and media from my Windows desktops. That all resides in the Apple ecosystem including a separate Mac terminal I keep on my desk.

Read thread for very interesting procedure and unfortunate weakness despite everything else being top-tier:

No, but I do have that 55gal barrel of lube from Amazon

Probably a waste of time to show off my collection of antibiotics and antivirals I have prepped and ask Bill Gates if he needs any, right?

This isn't a good post but it took a lot of effort
