SANTA: In March you took a shit in a public bathroom so horrific it made a janitor quit on the spot.

Me: Yes
OTHER SANTA: Jesus Christ. Fuck, man

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Which one should I munch on, the blue or red snack? 😋
A Southern Right Whale, estimated to be around 18 meters long and weighing 80 tons, caught on camera. Stunning.
These whales are relatively harmless and they are known to interact with humans.
Amazing creatures.

This past month I’ve been thinking about how changing the frame for our goals can better serve us. By considering them as a system in motion instead of a binary win/lose situation, we can more easily pursue difficult projects. Check it out: sjustintaylor.me/posts/thermo...
Thermodynamics and goals | Justin Taylor
Goals aren't a win/lose scenario, but are more like a system - affected by entropy and able to be re-energised

The number of people choosing Linux as their primary operating system to play games has been slowly but steadily going up, at least according to the Steam hardware survey. This is most likely because of the Steam Deck release and the increasingly obnoxious features being added to Windows

Everyone: No, GitHub Desktop is better! No, VS Code!
Me: ...I just use `git add -p`.
Walks you through each change, hunk for hunk, and lets you accept with `y`. It’s like a mini code review before you commit.
Pair that with dandavison/delta, and you get syntax highlighting too 👀
