Plus planes.

I think the consensus is don’t do it.

Repubs are good for the economy or something. /s

Tell your boss that the time when you aren’t at work is the time when you do “the rest of my life.” Tell them that your schedule is already very full and that what free time you do have is for downtime for resting and recuperating from the things that keep you busy. Politely but firmly let them know that you need to pursue work during work time.

Holy shit.

M3 Ultra chip with 32-core CPU, 80‑core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine, 512 RAM

Still a ton of money, but I’m salivating. M4 is only Max at this point, but now I’m dreaming about what that might become.

I wonder if this will be the game plan going forward, with the Ultra chip lagging by a year. Seems a likely cadence.

That’s a valid and useful thought.

Avoid news. Turn off internet. Literally, stop looking for like two weeks. The difference is palatable. I’ve used this technique a handful of times over the years.

A great song. And a pretty decent remix.

I believe you need to gas the place three times to fully eradicate them.

Start buying your own groceries to get a sense of how much that costs while you’re still living where you are now. Become self-sufficient for food and eat only what you buy yourself. Explain to everyone else in the household what the experiment is and gain agreement that they won’t eat the things you label as yours. Start preparing meals so you have an idea of what you need in various instances. This will include things like spices that you otherwise might not have in mind. This will also help you budget travel expenses if you don’t drive.

I wonder what the numbers are after that awful meeting. We are a terrible people.

If I had visual artistic talent, I could. But I don’t so won’t try.

I cut ties with my mother for voting for the orange-bad again. I still love her, but I have friends who are directly targeted by that shitbag and she knows it. Do whatever you think necessary. I’m sorry that you’ve maybe lost a friend.

My partner is experiencing mobility issues. Not terrible, but not great, given that we originally bonded over shared hikes. It took a lot of years and many failed relationships and many strike-outs to get here, but we’re very happy. So, just don’t give up. Good luck!

Edit: strikethrough on “just” because it minimizes the experience and it’s actually quite challenging.

First real out-loud laugh of the day. This is me. I will drink until I pass out because what the hell else do I need to do. It’s pretty great.

salary range

Sorry, you have to pass multiple rounds of interviews and get approved for the job before we tell you, which is not wasting anyone’s time when you find out it’s substantially less than you’ll accept. Why can’t we find people to fill this position? No one wants to work anymore.

A particle on an object.

I worked with a guy who was taking roids to bulk up. He once ate three sandwiches on his lunch break. I am not suggesting that you do the same. It’s just the only thing I have as a point of reference.

Search for sites about muscle building, probably.

There’s no way that I burn the same amount of energy sitting on my ass as I would running a marathon. Maybe I misunderstood, but I think this is obviously wrong.

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who know history are doomed to know it’s repeating.

It’s the second part that makes this otherwise well know phrase hit much closer to home for me.
