Yes, for sure. And it’s kind of a shame, because there was at least one app with a decent interface. Ruined, just ruined by garbage users. That Voat allowed, so screw 'em. But still, a waste.

I worked at a sugar factory, and then an assembly line for CV joints and half-shafts. I wasn’t allowed to sit on any of the furniture when I got home until I showered. Don’t miss that. Or third shift.

The Ray Bradbury story always makes me so sad.

I know, I’m finally home. I tried so many of the reddit alternatives that popped up over the years. The only one I can remember now is Voat. They all became right-wing echo chambers like, immediately. I’m very thankful that the API exodus finally pushed me here.

So many linux users. You have a question, there’s definitely someone here with an answer. I’ve received better help here than in my distro’s actual forum.

But you need to watch the Ulysses cut. Not the theatrical, not the Director’s. The Ulysses.

Waterworld!

Does it matter if you’re controversial? I also left during the API debacle. Couldn’t tell you what my karma was. Couldn’t tell you what it would be here. Up votes just tell me if a post was well-received or not, I’m really here for the comments. This is my only form of online interaction with people.

I love that movie.

Yeah, no problem. I just acquire the media in ways that don’t benefit them. Second-hand books, movies, CDs. Perhaps from the seven seas. Turns out Nicki Minaj is a nut. Well, I already owned some of her CDs. She isn’t going to know or care if I snap it in half, or pop it in and listen to Bees in the Trap. So, I might as well if I want to. Same thing with Kevin Spacey, L Ron Hubbard, etc.

Watching my designs come to life from CAD. The tooling I work on has hundreds upon hundreds of parts. I have had bills of materials that are 60 pages long. We have our own CNC machines, and an enormous industrial 3D printer. So, I get to watch my parts grow, and be released from blocks of raw aluminum. Then, slowly over the course of a month, the parts gradually come together to something resembling a machine. When air and power get plugged in for the first time and it comes to life? Magic every time. Those first parts are like newborns to me. Even if they are scrap/ugly. When they finally get tuned in to produce good parts every time, I’m always giddy. I made this. This is my baby.

I think the craziest tool I have had to design was roughly 2.5 x 1.5 x 1 meter. It made one part at a time. It had 25 “edgefolding” units, 7 slides, retractable skin pins, a retractable skin clamp, suction cups, grippers, two-stage vacuum for the skin, and three forms of heat. Hot air, hot water, and a big IR shuttle that came in and heated both the upper and lower tool and had to retract and close in 2 seconds.

I’m the opposite. I mostly like to play by myself. If I’m playing a game that my friends can just join if they see me online, I’ll put Steam in Offline mode so nobody bothers me.

I did not get the chicken pox vaccine. My wife, born one year after me, did. I got chicken pox. All I remember was being ready itchy. No scars. A few years ago, got shingles. Noticed it too late to get pre-emptive meds. Stupid chicken pox. I wanted to cut my arm off. There was no relief. Arm and hand scarred. And it took a long time for all the feeling to come back to my fingers.

Waterworld is amazing. I ordered the Arrow blu-ray release the day it came out. Having an HD, official release of the Ulysses Cut is pretty cool.

I really liked Pandorum. It was weird.

Ring-a-ding-ding, baby.

Where have I seen this before? Was it Star Trek TNG? Fringe? X-Files? Man, this is really familiar. I seem to remember it not turning out well for the courier.

Probably between 200-300mg. I would never do caffeine pills, as I enjoy my methods of caffeine consumption.

Typically, I’ll either drink a 2-cup moka pot, or some espresso. I never drink drip or French press coffee. Too bland. Turkish coffee is also good, but I don’t get that too often.

If not coffee, it’s usually Monster rehabs or Celsius. Tea is more for enjoyment than the caffeine content.
