This is the first I’ve heard about GPM shutting down. They haven’t informed me yet...

I guess it’s good that I’ve mostly been switching over to Bandcamp and my own MP3 collection.  There’s still some stuff on GPM I will miss though.

I want this. I don’t need this, I have mechanical keyboards at home and work plus a wireless switchable keyboard that I use since I’ve got a Monome Teletype in my modular synth, and I don’t want to get into this hobby.  But yeah, I want this.

I like GW2 a lot more personally. With GW1 I felt like I was vaguely directing a squad to kill stuff for me, but GW2 (open world, anyway) feels like an RPG with a lot of stuff to do and a more natural feeling exploratory way of questing.

Donating half of it to charities which will help people who need it more than we do. I’m working from home and my spouse is getting paid her normal hourly rate to watch some training videos.

Slapping the other half into savings and mostly avoiding frivolous expenses until there are some local businesses open again to…

My favorite:

If he picks Warren, I might actually have to respect him. Just a little bit.

I’ve found that shampoo works half-decently for defogging (and shedding droplets from) a shower shaving mirror, compared to everything else I’ve tried.

I am not anything remotely resembling a microbiologist or a doctor. But I’d follow the same general stuff they’ve been saying about hand sanitizer vs. soap: prolonged contact with alcohol to kill a virus, but a few seconds with a surfactant will loosen it and running water will blow it away.

So no way would I trust…

From my experience so far, at our grocery store that closes at 10PM, it’s not very crowded after 8PM. But I’m not sure how that affects what’s in stock; we haven’t seen toilet paper in a store for over two weeks now and everything else seems pretty picked over. (We did finally manage to get some big-roll commercial TP…

Hmm, I thought for myself it was because we had a habit of going to restaurants almost daily, and the rhythm of cooking and doing dishes etc. is very different. And no longer commuting to work and taking the usual set of breaks and little daily rituals. But yeah, the stress thing makes a whole lot of sense too.

What bothers me about it is I have Find My Phone disabled...

The loaner Camry I drove yesterday while getting my tires replaced had an analog fuel gauge and speedometer, a screen in the center that could show a fuel gauge, and a small screen above the steering wheel that could also show both a digital speedometer and a fuel gauge.

The digital speedometer was better than the…

Yep. Russian or not, she is definitely a tool.

I really wish “Universal” Serial Bus cables were a little more universal. Having some cables that can charge and carry data, some that only carry data, some that only charge, some that can charge fast and a completely different type that charges fast, was a mistake.

Some people may make stupid claims about honey, but it is scientifically legit.

This is a truck designed for high-speed pizza delivery in the Valley burbclaves.  But with all that steel it’s gonna get pooned by every Kourier worth their smartwheels.

Whenever I see a comically oversized symbol of fragile masculinity taking up one and a half spaces in the parking garage at the very white-collar office building where I work, I just want to ram the stupid thing.

But this... I would have to admire the chutzpah of someone who chose to drive this thing.

Water isn’t “pollution” either unless your lungs fill up with it.

What do you put on your cereal? And you don’t make cocoa with water, do you?

I don’t much like drinking milk, unless it’s occasionally a little bit with brownies or cookies, but it has its place.

Also Dean Foods makes the best French onion dip.
