Is this common to do? Do you just have no control over the content you’re consuming? I feel like I’m missing something here.

I’d argue that web server generally refers to HTTP(S) servers more broadly regardless of whether they’re accessible on the web, a local network or even just the local interface.

I mean they were always packed when I went. But one (Sage Bistro in Pasadena, CA) was hard to get into without a reservation. The owner just decided she suddenly believed in “regenerative farming” for whatever fucking reason.

How would animal products be more profitable if they cost more? Veggies are cheap so the potential profit margin is much higher no?

I’ve been vegan since 2019 and it’s hitting me lately that in those days things were looking bright for veganism. Now a lot of vegan restaurants are turning their backs on animals by serving meat then closing up shop a few months later after alienating their customers. It’s getting more difficult to find vegan options and it just breaks my heart.

(There’s also like 10,000 other problems I’m going through too.)

I generally wear one of many identical black tees during the workweek, I don’t have any cartoon shirts though.

That’s not how I thought that was going to end

I probably should be using ISO too but I typically just have the BDMV and friends there. It defaults to ISO for (some?) DVDs though which I find interesting; I can’t remember the logic there.

I like renting physical Blu-rays then dumping them to my NAS. I’m a stickler for quality so I don’t re-encode or compress anything.

Do you have a source? I want to believe you but I’m genuinely curious. There are a few nearby that I could reasonably request information for (I think).

Does this need to be a share.google tracking link?

I’ve been blocking 99% of Google’s domains for ~5 years now and only a handful of websites I actually need (utilities) become problematic without it.

Where is “1” on this car stereo?

For me I think growing up constantly told “you’re so smart, you’ll figure it all out” was more detrimental than helpful. It led me to believe I’d cruise through life pretty easily. I’m happy with where life’s taken me and the point I’m at now but I could’ve gotten here a lot faster if I would’ve applied myself more. Just because a kid is into computers doesn’t mean they’ll be some sort of genius.

I feel this way about 90% of smells. I really hate candles (even ones that smell fantastic) because it feels like the air is poisoned.

Having quit smoking/vaping a year ago I’m still shocked by how nasty people smell in public. We all know Los Angeles has some stench (piss and shit everywhere) but in places like theaters, Costco or other packed retail stores, etc. I’m just blown away by how bad it all smells.

We know you’re using AI to generate slop and that’s precisely what we’re blaming you for.

Isn’t all of Meta already a scam?

Why $2.5 instead of $2.50?

Okay, that kind of makes sense. I was looking into solar and automatic switching (no grid tie) and was surprised to see those batteries being used as (smaller) options.

Right? I couldn’t get any retailer in the Los Angeles, CA (USA) area to accept shopping bags, forget cereal bags. Happy that the state sued the shit out of them then banned plastic bags though: it always sucked when I’d forget my bag and I’d have to pay for that thick-ass plastic shit.

I do still struggle with plastic bags in packaging still though because my waste management company doesn’t accept them.
