Hyprland kicks ass. Been using it for about a year.

Oh fuck, seriously?

Welcome to Hell

I enjoy seeing the posts but am discouraged from engaging with them since I know the OP will never see my comment.

Unfortunately I didn't get to have a conversation with him. But he did seem nice.

In the early 2010s, Cape Girardeau, MO was chosen as a location for some of the filming of Gone Girl. I lived there and it was the talk of the town. People were running into Ben Affleck at the local Andy's and shit.

Meanwhile they put out a casting call for extras. I didn't care about it but of course my girlfriend and her cousin went psycho about it and signed us up. We waited in line with at least a thousand other people only to finally get up there, and all they did was take a headshot and send us on our way. The girls were all disappointed that there wasn't anything else to it while I the introvert just laughed about it.

Until I was the one they called back. Not only that, but it turns out they picked me to be a stand-in for Boyd Holbrook. I spent a week hanging out on David Fincher's set, occasionally doing work while trying to avoid getting in trouble for doing things like accidentally sitting in Rosamund Pike's chair. Then one of the assistant directors' mother died and he had to leave, so they "promoted" me to production assistant. At one point I was sent to look for and found David Fincher's missing iPhone.

Fucking surreal man. But I've got the 20th Century Fox W-2s to prove it.

These people are gonna be pissed anyway when they find out the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in this war is one of the lowest if not the lowest in urban warfare history.

It must have improved in the last two years because their community forum has been really helpful for me. I've had users go back and forth with me for days until we solved an issue I had.

It's not our fault silicon valley decided to run with the "every service is free and we'll figure the rest out later" model. Unbeknownst to them I can configure my computer to not accept data transmitted from ad domains.

Give Kagi a try. You get 100 free searches which is more than enough to decide if it's worth paying for.

Ask Jeeves about it

Excellent

You know what I think about sometimes is how it's so weird that in America it's the duty of our employers to provide health insurance, meaning it's a cost to the business. Universal healthcare would free up shitloads of capital and have a huge impact on small businesses' staying power.

Damn, what a good way to think about this. Thanks for the post.
