I wail a lot about computers and the Newcastle Knights. I also now wail about the SF Giants. Sometimes I post about chicken and gaming. You may use software that I’ve written, sorry. Currently helping humans explore space.

As Federal Prisons Run Low on Food and Toilet Paper, Corrections Officers Leave in Droves for ICE

Any industry where people will be emotionally invested in the work is liable to be exploitative in ways that don't really work for generic private sector companies that nobody cares about it. This also applies to prestigious companies that will look really good on your CV.

Every once in a while someone accuses me of posting something they don’t agree with “for the likes” and I assure you it is not for the likes or for any reason other than that I am constitutionally incapable of not posting

A handy cooking hack: you can pre-brown your meat by leaving it in the fridge for a few weeks past its use-by date. Saves you time when making your bolognese!
