Admittedly we're talking about an atypical kind of "effective."

Bad couple, but highly effective coworkers

They printed the wrong name on these albums, Trek fam; it’s definitely Vic Fontaine on there.

This is what gaming looked like back then. And this stick-figure level graphic image was 100% sufficient - in combination with human imagination - to make this a rewarding experience.

A few years ago, the Ball corporation released their aluminum take on the standard "solo cup." I bought some, and have one in use here on my desk that I've probably used ~200 times. Eventually I'll recycle it & start using another.

In bulk they're down to $0.44 each.

Boom.

This Bluesky setting is your friend!

Turn it on and Bluesky will remind you to enter alt text before your post goes up!

It's easy and simple and by turning it on you're helping de-isolate other human beings! Do it!

Affinity does some weird (and dumb) licensing stuff, but seems to run fine w/Winboat under Fedora 43/KDE.

Why are you doing clock checks, Affinity? (adds dumb steps to running Affinity in a VM)
Why does your *free* app still require login (and therefore tracking)?

Ah!
