This was a reference to an older Jay Foreman video on this topic, wasn’t found as funny as I’d hoped.

In all seriousness I look up candidates and try to find several sources discussing them to attempt to avoid biases from one source. I like to see how they’ve voted as a representative in the past (if they were one). For voting on propositions I will look up what it does, the supporting and critical arguments, and then who supports and who doesn’t support it. That’s usually how I go about it.

I get so drunk I don’t know who I’m voting for!

As a big fan of Teardown; seeing what happened after Saber bought Tuxedo Labs, I’m not holding my breath for this one.

The tap water here is pretty nasty, we do have a water filtering pitcher though and it does a bang up job so still no need for bottled water.

With Internet searching disabled, the start menu is decent enough as a quick launcher and so I find myself hitting the Windows key quite often for that purpose.

On Linux there are better launchers that I’m too lazy to set up so still just hit Super and use the Application Launcher to find and run programs.

I tried for about a week: reading documentation, viewing and modifying example programs, using a Rust IDE with warnings for all my silly mistakes, the works. I couldn’t manage to wrap my head around it. It’s so different from what I’m used to. If I could dedicate like a month to learn it I would, but I don’t have the time :/

Almost everything was web based. Being in computer science i did have to write code and compile executables that my TAs running Windows could run; so it wasn’t perfectly smooth. There was also Respondus Lockdown, but I could borrow a laptop from the library to use it.

Need therapy.

For what it’s worth my i9-13900 was experiencing serious instability issues. Disabling turbo helped a lot but Intel offered to replace it under warranty and I’m going through that now. Customer support on the issue seems to be pretty good from my experience.

Such a fucking vile thing to read while starting my morning

Well not with that headline but maybe, with a bit of effort, the same message can become oniony.

“Far-right decides to finally bite the bullet and just behead political rivals.”

Probably other ways too, I’m just lazy lol

Suspected to be part of Dell’s new ThighCooker line come Q3 2025

Oh the joys of my apartment AC breaking

So you have a product that you’ve made into a system for getting answers. And then you couldn’t be bothered to try and sanitize training data enough to get your answer system’s new headline feature from spreading blatantly incorrect information? If it doesn’t work, maybe don’t ship it.

Not anymore! twitter.com now redirects to x.com. There’s nothing left.

Seen a concerningly large amount of companies calling things they don’t like “unconstitutional” lately.

Heyyyy I know about the Noid!

Man, this title took a few reads, thought it was saying they cut cross-play.

I like to think I lurk enough to not generally be recognized.

It’s so easy to think that it can’t happen to you. Then it happens. Happened to me, happened to cyber security majors at my college. I’m so glad he got the channel back. I love Son of a Glitch and seeing now that YouTube casually didn’t recommend his videos for months just means I’ve got more to binge I guess!
