Just wait til a single TV show clip catches your interest. Shorts are desperate to get us out of our curated bubbles.

Some of it is incompetence, but some is... more complicated incompetence. A lot of the weirdness you see is where some executive somewhere had a problem that affected him and had enough money/clout to throw around that they could make whatever just happen. Microsoft is the worst at this.

If you need to exit vim, just open a new terminal and reboot the machine.

I've got a plan, just give me 600 years.

Hey look, you figured out where the scam is, congratulations.

Agreed, I never felt like the software quite got the support it needed. Know it’s not easy, but even basic needs like can we maintain a connection and can the device update itself were not guaranteed.

It is incredibly easy to buy likes / posts / etc, if it was entirely bots, that’s only like $50. Kinda worrying that you can push basically whatever narrative you want very cheaply on any social media.

Back in the late 90s, I have no idea how you’d pitch that any other way. It’s a miracle that movie got made.

I'm going to start a fight with everybody. Dr. Pepper is the best root beer.

South Nevada looks like it gets half... maybe more... of Las Vegas with the rest of Vegas going to Oklahoma, there's definitely a great joke about 'the Strip' in here. I'm worried about North Nevada though... without Vegas Nevada is looking rough.

I have it too, I know you’ve probably tried a lot to make it go away, but ‘Habituation’ really worked for me. It’s basically just pretending you don’t hear it and trying to ignore it until you don’t think of it. Sounds incredibly frustrating I know but just sharing my experience. I hope it gets better for you my friend. There’s also a trick where you basically thwack the back of your head repeatedly that used to give me a temporary reprieve. It’s kind of magic, but doesn’t last long.

It is legitimately free after you sign up, I get their reasoning but is kinda annoying.

I think for spicy food acting as food, the hottest pepper I still enjoy the taste of is a Habanero. In my opinion, anything beyond that isn’t meant to be tasted. Sometimes, the pain and that hit of adrenaline is the point though.

Oh, you may have got me. By passive, I was trying to say that no external power/additional connection/etc is required. But, the port is technically powered and that is enough to make it not passive.

There are a lot of passive adapters out there that seem like black magic at first. Obviously has drawbacks, but you can also do displayport/hdmi to VGA passively.

If your thought was going to be ‘Did someone finally bring back Pebble?’, that is true too. Eric got the rights back from google about a year ago and you can pre-order the slightly updated design now. The first wave of classic black and white watches is already sold out and partially shipped (I don’t think they’re making any more of those), but the ones based on the Time 2 concept are still available for pre-order. They’ve partnered with repebble for the app store/etc and are trying to keep it as close to the original concept as possible.

I like Pebble, but I’ve been on the gadget rollercoaster too many times and until it’s proven and quantified ‘years of average use’ means nothing.
