I am one of those people. An entire burrito can be ruined for me with just a few pieces throughout. I always feel so bad when someone gives me food with cilantro.

Key word: consumer. You won’t find a single router on store shelves that the layman is not getting all of their data collected through.

This was the plot of a really good episode of The Orville. They had a whole society based on astrological signs.

This might legit be one of the first images I ever saw on Reddit.

I think they’re saying laws against discrimination for not having an address.

This is going to be a callback, but Ballistic Weapons for UT2004. It completely overhauled the gunplay in ways I’ve never seen replicated. I loved all the extra modes the weapons had and many took a while to learn how to use.

The devs went on to make Viscera Cleanup Detail, so good for them, but I did always wish they made a FPS.

I would love to if all of the most helpful specialized communities didn’t all use it.

I can’t even get my friends or family to use Matrix/Element, let alone the masses.

Trust me, I want to make the full switch, but if I’m hanging out on my fancy open source server with no one on it, what’s the point?

I will agree that anything akin to Facebook or Xitter isn’t helping achieve anything, since they don’t provide communication that can’t be found elsewhere (social updates, memes, event invitations, etc), but for communities like this specifically, there’s just not many other places to go.

Nope.

Nostalgia good

New bad

The benefit of being IT at work is that I’m also in charge of the filter. I’m even allowed to setup a VPN tunnel to access my home network, but then again, you can do that sort of thing with an 8-employee company.

Aren’t we all?

Surely an 8th Seth McFarlane comedy will resolve this issue

I’ve used Linux for about 15 years and I hate the shit out of it. I’ll keep using it though if it means less Windows.

 

I have to reject any that don’t make the cut.

 

Everyone knows all the classic stuff you hear in karaoke bars, but I always enjoy artists that can make lyrics that you love singing along to.

I’m not necessarily talking about the best lyrics or the most thoughtful, but the ones that you love belting out with confidence even when a friend is in the car. Think Bohemian Rhapsody scene from Wayne’s World.

I’m curious if there are some lesser-known artists that are just as fun to sing along to, but never got their time on the radio.

This is only my test picture. I’ll be posting a full album from my DSLR later next week.

It is insane just how big these events are and how surprisingly well organized everything has been. Really impressed overall with how alive everything has been.

I had earplugs plus noise canceling headphones on and the engines were still clear as day. Absolutely insane how fast they go. GA is sat right around the sphere and it’s a pretty heavy breaking zone. Even then, trying to track the cars for a good shot proved really challenging. Definitely pushed my skills.

And totally unrelated, but I also learned OneRepublic is responsible for like 90% of the modern pop radio that I hate. So that was fun to sit through…

 
 

I’ll be going to see the Las Vegas GP. I’ve never been to a Formula 1 race and don’t know what to expect from the days surrounding the race. Are there any tips you wish you knew before going the first time? I plan on going to the full race weekend and not sure what to bring to make my stay more comfortable. Also, any tips on stops I should make in that area of Vegas while I’m there?
