Been rewatching mythbusters and man its a great show. Entertaining, educational and great hosts. RIP Grant. 😭

Watched the one about hot water tanks either being a bomb/or being a rocket last night. Was a super good one.

Same. TIL.

I got 6% last month on a couple year old used car (I have bought a car since 2005) and I was shocked and the guy said that was one of the best rates he has seen lately. Absolutely insane.

Sad to see but not surprising due to his history. He was a brilliant lyricist and I am a big fan of his work. RIP shane.

Me this morning. I'm gonna take a look at why this Jenkins pipeline is failing. This one job starts a dozen others. Half are failing. For different reasons. After starting rewriting a job that someone half assed. Realize the original error was caused by missing input but some are still valid. Still can't figure out why my rewritten program is erroring. Get pulled away because another program did something weird... I completed nothing today but worked a ton.

My day...

I don't understand this restaurants draw. It's not that good and it is always packed. And they are owned by bigots.

An actual good survival zombie MMO. Ala what day z and h1z1 were supposed to be. H1z1 had the idea to be a procedurally generated middle america setting that sounded amazing. But it turned into a battle royal. Day Z was supposed to be the hardcore survival zombie but it's too just turned into essentially a battle royal. I don't know. I know there has been so many in that genre but I don't feel like any of the ones I've played hit it right. 7 days to die is maybe the closest and I also really liked project zomboid too. I guess I thought dayz captured the realism of the combat with it's arma roots.

Been using a Dual Edge Safety Razor for a year. It's so much more affordable and a better shave. I shave every day. I spent like $15 on my razor (1939-45 Gillette tech,) $15ish for 100 razor blades (I use Gillette Nacets) where each one I use for about a week. So what almost two years of blades? I use Arko shave soap which is like $8 a tub and it last me like 3 or 4 months. After shave about $10 again another 2 or 3 months. Most expensive thing was my shave brush which was like $35. Won't buy another for forever.

Anyway. It's a nice thing to do. It will take a few weeks to get used to. The shave is excellent and once your used to it you can shave just as fast as the disposable ones with a crazy close shave.

Wow nostalgia. I haven't seen this for years. Love this game growing up

That's something. I worked at Dell for a year a long time ago and I can safely say it was the worst job of my life. Hated everything about it. I was jealous of the grounds keepers id see out my windows. Only lasted about 9 months. However, I still think their computers are decent as far as the big computer manufacturers go. I'd buy one today if I needed to. Although looking into manufacturers like system 76 makes me think I'll go that route for my next laptop.

I wanted to but my pixel bootloader is carrier locked. Supposedly you can call and ask them to unlock it if you own the device but not sure if that's true.

Yeah same. It sucks. I got into Google stuff back when Gmail was in beta and invite only. Admittedly I really only use Gmail, drive and the calendar. But the sso aspects is the part that is the hangup I think. I have so many accounts utilizing their identity provider solution.

Finally had to leave liftoff today. The lack of updates and primarily the inability to block instances made me move to connect. I really liked liftoff. It was very close to Reddit is fun good.

I had to block their Instance. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.

Wow, I thought the same op. Incredible.

For Lemmy. Moving from the alien site to here has been fantastic.

🤗 I'm sorry your having such a tough time.. Everything is temporary. I know it feels hard right now... Don't make a permanent solution to these temporary problems... Things will change. Keep going. Best of luck to you. 🤗

God damn, that sucks... Best of luck pal.

1am geezus back when I worked at Bestbuy. 2008ish I came in at 3:30am to sell shitty netbooks to customers waiting in the lines outside.
