interesting things to talk about

I’m here for the Star Trek memes and Dull Men’s Club. Interesting things? Pfft!

Work: windows laptop. It’s fine.

Home: dual-boot. More windows time than Linux generally (I’m almost afraid to “admit” that on this forum, ha)

Error: No rule to make target `sandwich’.

No matter what you call them, cookies are still delicious treats!

Say ‘what’ again! I dare you!

Great, now I’m thinking about the Trojan horse but with high explosives.

True, I’m very much looking at it in terms of work tooling. I don’t have much use for the ELIZA-with-delusions-of-grandeur models in my personal life.

Comically bad!

Yarr

80 bucks for a session could be a lot, but if it saves you 4 hours of work, I’d say it’s worth it.

OTOH, I’ve seen some articles claim that using AI tools actually slows you down. In that case, it’s a giant boondoggle.

Yes, and?

Thing is, Epic is SO BAD that I’d rather pay full price elsewhere than get it free through Epic. Sure, they’ve hosted a lot of great games in their giveaways. But to take advantage, I’d have to use Epic. Ugh.

You might want to recheck your math.

.2 cents is $0.002

40000 * .002 = $80

that doesn’t mean we hand drivers licenses to incompetent or irresponsible people.

Judging by the way people drive in my city, that’s exactly what it means :(

Clipper chip all over again

Finished Crossbows, an excellent tome on the history and construction of crossbows (and as a bonus, siege engines). A friend suggested it during a conversation about D&D.

Also Witch King by Martha Wells. Fantasy. Very different from the Murderbot diaries. Very good.

I sink, therefore I…

Am not a boat.

How much jelly do you heap on there?! I always figure a thin layer is plenty.

TBF I mostly eat PBJ toast, so the gobs of jam effect isn’t something I have to worry about

I make PBJ toast for breakfast a lot. Spread peanut butter first, then jelly, eat slices separately.

On “running late” days, I used to make it into a toast sandwich & eat in the car (WFH now). I’d still spread the toppings on both slices out of habit, I think.
