Me too! I so so so wish more places offered half portions. There are maybe two restaurants near me that offer half portions on every menu item and it’s amazing. It is just the right amount and I really don’t mind paying the 50%+$1 price or whatever.

So basically be Bernie Sanders…who they abandoned.

Have you tried Kagi? It gets you access to Claude Sonnet, ChatGPT, Llama, Mistrel, etc.

I know you’re joking, but semi-related, I highly recommend the Kuhn Rikon peelers.

I sense ADHD (source: am ADHD)

I hate myself for buying a John Deere tractor, but it was up to $5000 less than any comparable competitor at the time, included a 5 year service contract, and was 0.9% financing.

I’m in a better place financially now, so when I can and need to, I’m absolutely getting something different.

Okay but now I actually want one…

You have a bible signed by Trump?

(I hate that I have to add that)

My wife and I disagree on this, but Dasani water tastes like pennies to me.

Driving less.

Eyeing other brands, but financially it just doesn’t make sense right now because it’s paid off and has required zero maintenance.

But, mentally, I hate being seen in public and fuck Elon Musk and I’ll move on as soon as it makes sense financially…or honestly, maybe even if it doesn’t.

There exist plenty of services on school campuses that send passwords in plaintext. There are services outside of school campuses that do, too. Hell, I’ve been able to bypass 2FA checks by just navigating around them, I don’t know what else to tell you, not everything out there uses the best security practices, so don’t assume that they do.

I mean, yes, I’m in my 40s, but it’s just as effective today.

Gold.

I used to get job offers almost monthly, I haven’t had one in about six months. But I think it’s more due to the current economy and it being an election year than it drying up. I anticipate a bounce back Q1 or Q2 of next year.

The few cyber security people I’ve known…to work a good enough job that doesn’t pay shit, also means that due to the nature of their job they end up with clients that require drug testing or working at jobs that require it. Not an every case, but just something to be aware of.

I’m not even an expert in this stuff, but with a tool I found online I demonstrated that it was easy to snoop people’s passwords on my school’s wifi networks back in the day. It took minutes.

Well that’s disconcerting.

There’s no failsafe? Jesus.

I’ve been using Kagi since February and it’s been superb. I typically find what I need in the first 5 results and the ability to customize it is really nice.

It costs a little money, but honestly it’s saved me so much time over the 12,000 or so searches I’ve conducted that it’s worth it. Previously I’d sometimes have to hit up some combination of Google, Bing, DDG, Brave, etc. just to get somewhere.
