  • Journeyman was amazing! Great story and pretty amazing 3D rendered graphics for the time.

    • Urine, an actual Belgian beer (double IPA)

  • Does it taste like Bud Light?

    • Fax machine

  • Howdy-do, fellow minute-man!

    If your dick can't do the walking, let your tongue do the talking.

    • You can make people drunk by touching them

  • Does it work if you touch yourself? Are the effects stacking?

    • 56k modem noises

  • Memory recall is the worst for me. Long-term or short-term, cognitive; all bad.

    • Did you remember to grab your laptop on your way to work? Nope.
    • Do you remember going to the movie theater, sitting in your seat, and watching the new animated Adams Family movie with your family? Nope.
    • Did you move that load of towels from the washer to the dryer four days ago? Nope.
    • Did you remember your wife's name after fifteen years of marriage when introducing her to your new coworkers? Nope.
    • Do you remember the word for that super simple thing? It's literally the opposite of down, and you should definitely not be stumbling on this word because we're on a conference call. Nope.

    • Steam has the best UI

  • Wow. This comments section reads like 50 various versions of Colin Robinson, all swarming on this very post. Every single one of them finding a way to be more pedantic or curmudgeonly than the other.

    • Pretty part of the week: Ruishen RSCM11548 3-winding common-mode choke

  • Thank you! As a software engineer, I can understand the necessity for impotency. You don't want the same request sent twice.

    • Pretty part of the week: Ruishen RSCM11548 3-winding common-mode choke

  • This is a beautiful work of art! Can you ELI5 what this is, please?

    • Lime Wire Wr(ule)apped

  • Fuck a cheetah!

    • Putin arrived in Kazakhstan and someone replaced the Russian flag with the Ukrainian flag on a giant LED sign in the capitol.

  • I hope you didn't accidentally fall out of a window.

    • What games have you put the most hours into?

  • I have over 1500 cumulative hours invested in No Man's Sky and Minecraft respectively. I am a casual gamer. I started playing Minecraft in 2012 and NMS in 2017.

    • Even the ones that trick you by starting out cheap

  • Never get into Modular Synthesizers.

    • Store making me feel like an outcast because of privacy concerns

  • Some email services will let you append arbitrary strings to the end of your email address with a +. Whenever a sales associate asks for my email to sign up for discounts, I give them [email protected]. I love the looks I get for that.

    • How do ye find new music?

  • I suppose it depends on your tastes, but I read Pitchfork reviews and check out the artits on Spotify. I do not limit my tastes to one genre, so that makes it more interesting when exploring. I'll also leverage the Related Artists section of an artist's page if I find a new artist that I like.

    • Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave

  • I have been laid off from every job (5 in total) since the pandemic. We are a subhuman commodity. Companies that are hiring now are exploiting the market by offering lower salaries.

    Meta and Amazon are in their hiring season and they'll start their layoffs again next spring or summer. And somehow, everyone forgets this fucked up cycle keeps happening in perpetuum.

    We need to stop being afraid of mentioning the U word. We need better protection and rights as employees.

    • Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave

  • Engineering is a skilled trade. We need our own union like every other skilled labor group.

    • Major papers are giving Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment dramatically less attention than they did Clinton’s server

  • Let us not forget Clinton's cigar.

    • uBlock Origin developer recommends switching to Firefox as Chrome flags the extension

  • Have you tried VPN?

    • uBlock Origin developer recommends switching to Firefox as Chrome flags the extension

  • That's by design. uBlock is blocking ad and spyware network requests. It's common for sites to crash or error because of this. They'll depend on a call to Google or Sentry or DataDog to succeed before continuing with their initialization. As a platform engineer for several web properties, I die a little inside every time I see this happen.
