Because I voted early in person

It might not work so flawlessly on the 2nd, 3rd, or 100th time though. I use ChatGPT semi-frequently for coding, while it generally does a surprisingly good job, I often find things it overlooks, and need to keep prompting it for further refinements, or just fix it myself.

Timberborn, Factorio, and XCOM 2

I ran into this when I was thinking about buying some Doc Martens recently. I know there have been other examples, that’s just the most recent I can remember.

Damn, I’ve been singing their praises for years…but I haven’t actually bought a new pair in ages

I’ll get right on that, as soon as I wrap up these 3 defects

Ask a ridiculous question, get a ridiculous answer

• Spawn
• Baby Driver
• Garden State
• the Lord of the Rings trilogy

Hi it’s me, your colleague

That’s my favorite one to use

I have 3 main use cases for the Windows key:

1. Bring up the start menu and immediately type “cmd” + Enter to bring up a command prompt
2. Windows + L to lock the computer when I step away
3. Windows + arrow keys to move windows around on the screen and “dock” them to the sides of the screen (although this hasn’t been consistently working for me more recently)

I don’t think I ever use it for anything else. So yes, I do use it to bring up the start menu, but generally only to specifically bring up a command prompt window - all of my other commonly used programs are pinned to the taskbar so I can fire them up with a single click.

Second Darn Tough. Best trail running socks I’ve ever had

But definitely learn how to do them correctly before just going HAM with them, otherwise you’ll probably just throw out your back.

Daaaammmnnnn, I played Wizardry 8 back in the day and that game was fantastic. Never played any of the earlier ones though.

I live in the path of totality…it was cloudy here. Still was incredibly cool when it got dark, but now I want to see one for real.

And that’s honestly a not-insignificant part of why everything is so fucked up and polarized now.

I had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!

Are you only allowed to like things that you liked when you were growing up?

I prefer Tolstoy myself

That’s why it pays so well
