Most of the people I went to high school with I don’t give two shits about. Maybe 3-4 of them do I care about. I don’t need a reunion for them. Hell like me they wouldn’t go anyway. In my opinion, reunions are either for people who peaked in high school and wanna relive that adoration or want to brag about their life to people who looked down on them in high school. I didn’t peak in high school nor would I want to brag to people I don’t care about their opinions.

I guess you could just want to see how people turned out is another option. Maybe I’d like to verify a few bullies that I’d bet died of alcoholism in their 40s.

But no I wouldn’t, and haven’t, gone.

They’d probably charge you like the olympian that picked up a piece of floating rubber. And yes, what a bunch of fucking babies.

I hadn’t really considered this but this does make a lot of sense. Poor people don’t have 3D printers or cnc machines.

They should have sold it at $2.97

250th anniversary + 47. Oh wait most of them can’t do math …

LinkedIn is turning into a hot mess of Microslop.

98. Pretty sure we were down one already.

What are these monstrosities

Edit: They are Snap Specs. The exec that greenlit these things should be publicly humiliated.

Well it’s just normal for me. The UI should allow fixed orientation for what ever direction you want. The rotation is the problem. Nobody would ever rotate a map like that.

Yeah I thought steganography was hiding messages in images.

Ok I just looked it up, apparently it can be anything. Images, audio, video, or even text.

I remember I had this Perl module once that would convert passwords into a binary string and then convert that string into spaces and tabs. Looked like a blank file. I guess that was technically steganography.

Man I turn that shit off. Makes me dizzy. N is up.

Totally agree. Well except for the when part. I’d say it’s more realistically if. I still expect these asshats to do something drastic and the best response is a strongly worded letter.

Oh absolutely but it would make everything SOOO much simpler in the long run.

It’s not really. Sell a solar powered hot water heater that just happens to be a small DC in a box to people with stable fiber connections. Make them subsidized and voila … distributed data centers that are cheaper, more efficient, energy reducing, and much less problematic.

Millions of college students silently scream.

Yeah this bullshit that you can’t appoint a justice in an election year and then ram one through in the last second just because your republican is infuriating. Fuck Mitch McConnell…

TIL in 1974 the U.S. tried permanent DST during an energy crisis … it saved little energy, fuel use slightly increased, and public support collapsed after one dark winter, so the law was repealed within 10 months.

God forbid we’d learn from past mistakes.

I tried to have the conversation of just doing away with time zones all together with my wife once. She could not understand that the number associated with when it gets daylight and when it gets dark is arbitrary. Instead of getting daylight around 6am it would be getting daylight around 10am (if we adopted UTC for example) or gets dark around midnight (12AM). The weird thing is she lived in Alaska far enough north that during the summer it didn’t even really get dark at night. I also wanted to talk about the alternative calendars like the IFC or the Gormanian but I’m pretty sure I would have broken her brain. She’s pretty sharp but apparently abstract thought about concrete things like dates and time are a bridge too far.

Because of existing time zones aren’t we already different from the rest of the world? You make other good points but the rest of the world comparison seems odd. If anything just picking one is more consistent and safer regardless. I mean if you wanna talk about weird, the entire mainland china is one time zone, China Standard Time.

More and more everyday. I don’t normally wish ill will on anyone but I sure ain’t gonna complain if it happens.

I think reagan did the most lasting damage
