  • One of my favorite jokes ever (forgive the dated lingo)

    A code reviewer walks into a bar.

    …runs into the bar. …skips into the bar. …handstands into the bar. …does the hula into the bar. …brings four people they just met into the bar.

    And orders: …1 beer …10 beers …99999 beers …null beers …a Pepsi …a 10" personal pizza …4 orders of salted peanuts …DROP TABLE orders of salted peanuts

    Nothing goes wrong.

    Another person walks into the bar and asks to use the bathroom.

    The bar goes up in flames.

    *Edit - I forgot the drop table peanuts


  • For ice creams: Peanut butter chocolate chip. Choco cookie dough. Coffee ice cream (but only some of them, there are also a lot of really bad ones). Also, weirdly, Tillamook peaches and cream? I’m not a huge fruity ice cream person but it has to be one of my all time faves.

    And yeah, I haven’t nuked my account on Reddit yet and surprisingly was still logged in on my phone’s web browser (last used circa never?) which I just stumbled on today.

    I spent a minute browsing and it reminded me of when I’d get back on Twitter or FB after being off for a while. It’s just so incredibly negative and hateful. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before, that same problem was why I ditched both FB and Twitter. I just don’t need that in my life.


  • So these probably aren’t audiophile grade audio, but I have the Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless, which come with two hot-swappable and replaceable batteries. Always charging one while the other is in use, so I never have to worry.

    Main reason I got it was the dual/simultaneous USB and Bluetooth. I’m on Discord or calls on my phone a lot for personal, but want to stay connected to PC via USB for audio (either Teams for the work pc or gaming on my desktop).

    I’ve heard the newer version is slightly better, but probably still below audiophile standards. Either way my ears are pretty wrecked and I can’t really pick up fine notes. They’re fine by me!



  • On one hand I absolutely agree. It’s depressing. The manufactured outrage and blatantly false information surrounding conservative book bans is terrifying, and is shadowed by the terrifying fact that people were easily conned into believing it.

    On the other, this is a good law and even in a less corrupt system it should exist.

    This wouldn’t have been a discussion 30 or 40 years ago. Admittedly, that probably has more to do with the internet making manufactured outrage easier to spread. But it’s not like all conservatives suddenly decided “we need to ban things that make us think outside our conservative sandbox!” overnight. This has always been a problem, a mindset that these people hold, though maybe to a less extreme or binary degree.

    If anything, the fact that we’re having this discussion means some progress forward is happening: at least in some places, people are finally saying no when conservatives make intolerant demands. We do need to put up common-sense laws that ban intolerant practices.


  • Exactly. I’m definitely gonna miss some of the meme subs and topic-specific subreddits but honestly I’m not going to miss the platform itself or most of the content there.

    I really should have moved on from it a while ago like I did with twitter tbh. Life is so much better with less social media, and when the stuff I engage with is genuinely more positive. I don’t have forever to live and don’t need to waste time in a toxic relationship of any kind, especially with reddit
