    You think that’s bad? My mother-in-law takes it congratulations, then drowns it in A1. She also thinks Pepsi is appropriate hydration. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her drink just a glass of water. If there’s even the slightest hint of spiciness in anything, it’s completely inedible.

    Don’t get me wrong. I love her to death, but she has questionable taste.

    As for me, I’m a medium rare type, but I’m known to order mine rare from time to time when she’s out eating with us. Just to bring some balance to the table.



  • Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It’s not that they’re the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they’re so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you’re not in contact with the ground, you’re slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.

    And if that wasn’t enough, they meow and purr, too.

    Not how my experience went. You read the books, you got the points, and (assuming you were doing well in every other aspect of the class), you got an A. But if you struggled with reading (as I did in school), you got poor grades despite the fact that your grammar, writing, and spelling were otherwise excellent. Very rarely did I get a teacher who rewarded reading; most of them punished my failure to read.


  • My first job out of college was in a hospital. When you see doctors outside of their own setting, you quickly realize that >90% of them are pretty stupid at literally everything else. I was an accountant processing travel reimbursements for business-related professional expenses (mostly vacations disguised as conferences and workshops for CMEs) and many of them just could NOT understand why they weren’t allowed to claim alcohol on their travel reimbursements. Literally, the IRS will not allow it. And even if it did, state law forbids it, too. Sometimes, I got angry emails because they couldn’t claim miles for taking a detour to visit a relative before going to their destination after I adjusted it as if they drove directly from work to the airport. Shit like that. I was good friends with the IT guy there and he had many similar gripes. Most of his job was arriving on-site to plug machines in because they swore up and down on the phone that the machine was plugged in.

    I’m convinced the majority of doctors are just average intelligence people who spent a decade practicing and mastering a skill. That’s it. Anyone can be a doctor if they can be allowed into med school and sink the time and effort into becoming one.




  • Was this made by my wife? Are you her? She really has to know all the minutiae of the flow before deciding whether it’s worth going with.

    Not a dig at her, btw. It can be frustrating to deal with in the moment (I’m more go with the flow than she is), but when we get there and everything goes smoothly, I genuinely appreciate her already having it figured out.

  • Idk about you, but I feel a great sense of freedom using Linux.

    In terms of “many versions,” my advice: Mint if you loved the Windows UI, Ubuntu if you want regular updates, Debian if you want rock solid reliability. That’s it. That’s all you need to know if you’re new to Linux. Skip everything else until you’re comfy, or if you like it, stay a while. There is nothing wrong with either of the three. You’ll learn to hate Snap on Ubuntu, and once you do, just install Debian.
