2025 continues to find new ways to deliver nightmare fuel.

“The scientists said they were confident they could get the lump of goo to improve its Pong abilities if they figured out how to make it feel pain.”

@mathowie Car dealership in Portland that sold and shipped a car to Texas for me that one time in 2016 says 👋 … maybe I would like to come in for an oil change or trade up?

Bonus: it’s physical mail. ✉️

@jwz @streetartutopia Oh please. Does my Tesla embarrass me? Yes. Would I buy another? Hell No.

Should I go into debt to buy a different car knowing it won’t take my Tesla off the road? That makes no sense at all. It solves nothing.

I’ve driven this piece of shit for 7 years and I’ll drive it until it’s ready to be recycled and crushed.

Fuck Elon. ✌️

@WarnerCrocker Fair point. Their content is killing it though.

@WarnerCrocker Not gonna lie, I thought the trailers looked a little cringe. Sounds like maybe worth another look.

@benjojo @asl Genuine question: Would you feel safe using Mikrotik switches without doing anything too fancy? VLANs but no routing. I’ve been avoiding them for years out of fear, but I really want to go faster and use less power.

@WarnerCrocker I will miss it, but it just wasn’t the same without Anand.

@WarnerCrocker They deserve it, but I'm sorry, The Bear is a comedy series? I don't think so.

@WarnerCrocker That's not a fine, that's telling him it's fine.

@thomasfuchs Fiber is cheaper and uses less energy. Do twisted pair SFP28 modules exist? I haven’t ever seen one, and my first page of search results was not encouraging. I imagine they'd be very expensive, whereas optics are simple and cheap.

@thomasfuchs I’m going straight to fiber. 25 gig incoming.

@thomasfuchs (Sorry, I can’t stop thinking about project Sagan every time I hear his name.)

@yassie_j

@thomasfuchs at $415 a visit I sure wish my insurance even counted it toward my deductible

@thomasfuchs your regular posts about this got me to seek Ketamine treatment after being afraid to try it for years. I’ve been going for several months and it’s been a life saver. I hope you’ll follow up on the IM experience. Anyway, thank you.

@thomasfuchs Macs are superior Linux machines. I just bought an Apple Silicon Mini and put Debian on it.

@evan looks like Ivory doesn’t support these yet! Bummer. But to add to the discussion, I discovered vegan whey recently, and it’s great!

@evan multi-selection did not work, maybe client bug?
