Something like this?

There’s a parable about a mechanic with a hammer (here described as an old man with a hammer):

It seems applicable.

I’ve been in various forms of coding and administration for around fifteen years now. Despite trying lots of editors, I have yet to find a reason to use anything but vim.

I do like obsidian for note taking.

edit: Removed typo.

Obviously it won’t work for cold drinks, but for warm drinks, I got my wife a few of these:

She still forgets her drinks, but now when she finds them, they’ve usually maintained the desired temperature.

It was a while ago, so I don’t remember exactly how I responded, but it was probably just something like “oh, I see” followed by requesting the other practitioner in the office whenever I scheduled future appointments.

My general practitioner told me that he’d been keeping weather records for years and personally confirmed that climate change isn’t real.

Honestly, I’m pretty sure that even his office staff had very little respect for him.

Years and years ago, I was waiting in the lobby of a dealership while they did something to my car. (It was a complex situation. I wouldn’t normally go to a dealership for anything if I could avoid it.) This was before cell phones were, like, decent, so for entertainment I was watching the lobby TV. They had on some trivia / jeopardy show, no idea which one.

One of the questions in the show was “what industry lies to their family the most about what they do?” Jokingly, I muttered to myself (paraphrased) “probably help desk / IT support.” The answer was “IT support.” I had to fight to hold in my laughter.

Bonus fact: At the time, I worked at a help desk as a temp. While I was waiting for my car, the recruiter who employed me called me to ask me to convince another prospective employee that the recruiter was on the level and that the job was worthwhile. I couldn’t think of a single positive thing to say on the call. (I’m still in IT but no longer help desk and I’m much happier.)

Jeff, quick question. Why do you only shave your left goose egg? I’m doing it now, too, and I want to know why.

I think the “engaged” one is just a different version of the CrossFit meme.

Is this a case for the nominativedeterminism community?

That’s depressing.

Thank you for asking this question instead of ripping a fart.
