Alright. New people seemingly following me out of nowhere in today's influx. Did I get recommended to you? What made you follow me? Inquiring minds want to know!

Kerry, the little flip at the end is cute as hell. This look works for you. Yes.

Heyyyy, are you a privacy-focused engineer? Would you like to probably work with me sometimes? job-boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/... We have two spots open for this role, and gee whiz would I like to see them filled.

Side-shave, and dye what's left black.

I'm like half serious and would be extremely curious to see how that looked on you.

Don't you threaten me with a good time!

Sounds perfect.

Not nicely. Doesn't have enough PCIe lanes on the chip. There's a x4 slot on the board, and I guess you could put an x16 riser on it and mount it on top, but at that point just do a thunderbolt 4 dock because it's cleaner.

...I've never had this. But I've told the guy at my Indian restaurant "yes, I really am sure I want the extra spicy vindaloo." Am I ready for it?

The sickest kickflip. Congrats!

There's *one* positive thing to this story. California law is that the governor doesn't have to sign the bills. If they don't veto, it becomes law anyway. So, he's a piece of shit, but they're still going through.

It's a damn good read.

Broken ribs. That's hardcore!

I've been wondering that too. The travel system my company uses merged my first and middle into a single name and books my flights with it, and it freaks me out every time.

That's so sweet of you to say! I just know how important it is to hydrate after intense, prolonged physical activity. And there's no denying the amusement of seeing the look on Brother Hecubus' face as he had lemon-lime dripping down it.

You have my vote, and I'll put in a good word with the rest of the coven.

This is real leadership, and you should be proud of yourself.

Quick question, Angie. My goatskin shawl is still out at the cleaners after the unfortunate incident at last year's event. Will I still be admitted without it? And do you happen to know of a decent hex for a drycleaner that spends a year cleaning a ceremonial garment?

Same, that's why I'm calling it out.

In direct response to the most recent one, I'm glad you're here. Not here the site, but here the world. And that life's looking pretty darn good for you.

Jesus, what an awful experience. 🫂🫂🫂

Still better than desperately looking for your phone under furniture by using the flashlight on that same phone to look for it.

I don't know why but this is the funniest thing I've read all day.

Just discovered that an old buddy of mine up and died earlier this year, and I didn't know it. Life is just so fleeting, man.

Steamer! It'll loosen up the fibers and should allow it to flatten more easily. Test it on a small area first just to make sure it doesn't ruin the whole rug, if you're concerned about the material.

I mean, fair. It's a hell of a workstation. I'm using the same chip in my laptop and it's incredibly good.
