Semi-Hemi-Demigod

Yeah. There’s always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I’ve gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I’ve gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.

Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather’s good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I’m salaried so I don’t have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

I remember when iTunes was called SoundJam MP and that was much nicer than iTunes. I still miss its eclipse visualizer.

Which was when Slashdot was like BBS before the Eternal September

I’m less concerned with them being effective and more concerned they’ll fuck up and kick off Kessler Syndrome

Hopefully this works out better than the time they made iTunes for Windows

I don’t have any resources but my Volvo has a long, low hood and a heavily padded engine cover

I heard an interview with the creator of KSP1 and it made me even sadder about the death of this game. His next plan was basically Kerbal Aeronautics Program, where you’d build progressively bigger and faster airplanes to accomplish missions. I could see it growing into a game franchise, kind of like how SimCity had a bunch of similar simulator games with different premises.

Anyways, I’ve gotta go rescue Jeb again.

We can’t have pop-up headlights because of pedestrian safety, but you can buy a 5,000 pound vehicle that does 0-60 in three seconds and has a hood level with most people’s heads because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.

Except we primary him and we either lose and get blamed for when he loses, or watch our progressive challenger lose because the rest of the country hates him.

America isn’t nearly as progressive as us Internet weirdos think it is.

I hate Biden and hate that I have to vote for him. Future generations are definitely going to hate us.

You know what, being a dev myself that’s something I’ll try as a hobby project. We’ll see how it work out.

That’s what heroes do

Just write a bash script to loop over them.

Yet again I’m asking the Fediverse: What do they think a good economy should look like?

Managers realized that the nerds’ autism could be exploited for profit

I could see it being useful if it was an accessory to your phone. Not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to take a picture of something to look it up, or having a push-to-talk badge or pendant would make it more convenient, especially for folks like me who don’t wear watches. And with Bluetooth it would have decent battery life.

But the damn thing can’t even set a timer.

My neuropathy prevents me from forgetting things like that

If it helps I think it’s the one where he gets into a fight with his brother

Yeah, you tend to learn from those sort of mistakes

Apple has a ton of engineering experience with hinges from their laptop days, and even the old lampshade-style iMac.
