I don’t have any ethical issues with it, I just don’t find meat appetizing anymore. I’m all for having the option for people who want it though.

I only ever get push polls, very annoying.

I use option 121 as part of my work, though I am not an expert on DHCP. This attack does make sense to me and it would be hard to work around given the legitimate uses for that option.

I use the term folks to refer to my parents but that may be regional or generational.

Or his wife pegs him on his birthday.

Anything sour and sweet. Unfortunately these tend to be very acidic so they make my teeth hurt.

Second place is black licorice. I did try salt licorice and it was ok, but I prefer unsalted.

At the moment I am intensely bored at work. The job is not challenging and most of my stress comes from dealing with broken software, useless vendors or a few business units that vacillate on requirements. But:

• Most of my internal customers are very nice
• My team is eccentric but tolerable.
• I am compensated well.

But I’m still looking for a new position because I feel my brain is melting by staying here.

I installed Mint last night as a dual-boot and had a few issues, the boot loader would not load into Windows Boot Manager and when I manually selected Windows Boot Manager in UEFI Windows booted but hard locked until it reindexed the drive I partitioned for Linux.

The Mint OS works fine, to be clear. My issue with the dual boot is mostly getting Windows to play nice.

I used openAI/whisper to transcribe several thousand .wav files full of human speech (running locally). Much faster than trying to listen to them myself. It wasn’t perfect but the error rate was within acceptable levels.

As an individual the single most important thing you can do is vote for leaders who will make the necessary policy changes to make a difference, assuming you live in a country where this is possible. You can try to lower your own carbon footprint, and that is laudable, but the only way to change this is with strict regulation of fossil fuels and investment in renewable energy and that requires collective action.

This was such a disappointment, I really liked her explanations of quantum physics.
