I live ~50 meters from a grocery store, so I usually go several times per day.

Exact same backstory here

Mostly WFH with “when I’m needed” as my schedule. Very flexible, and pretty chill. In the morning I usually catch up on my inbox, check that everything is running as it should. Then a few phonecalls. I usually have another hour in the evening to catch up with coworkers in different timezones.
When I’m doing field work it’s usually 10-12 hours days, weekends included.

I got promoted to this position after doing 12 hour shifts offshore, five weeks on, five weeks off, for ages.

At least a little investigative: Good Work

Strikes my preferred balance between information, investigation, and satire

Anything acidic. Citric acid powder is cheap, effective, and doesn’t smell.

Yes, mostly for the sake of showing that the voicemail is in fact given some attention. I find it annoying that I get a voicemail, and all it is is the sound of someone hanging up because it’s the default response ergo nobody will check it.

I WFH, so I take a short nap on quet days a few times per week.

As much as I hope for both, I think only one of the two have a reasonable probability of happening.

<Insert highly subjective complaint about choice of distro here>

Either way, another soul saved. Great to have you on board!

Spring. Because it’s fucking cold here atm.

Whenever the old one dies or becomes unusable. A new phone doesn’t really offer much new, so I see no reason to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading

Hate, no, but severely annoyed yes; My oldest (14 y.o.) severely lacks the ability to walk down a flight of stairs without sounding like an elephant trying to stomp a mouse. He has the discretion of a landslide, and I’m sure my neighbors can hear when he comes down for a mid-night or early morning snack.

Love it. However, I feel that it should be possible to automate the procedure: Grab images, sort them, and compare them to find any moving objects. Then somehow look them up to check whether it’s already registered.

Sounds like a reasonably simple script wrapped around curl, some gfx library calls, and possibly selenium or WWW::Mechanize

That my parents didn’t have parents. I knew my grandparents well, I just never connected the dots.

I was in the same boat, so I’ll leave you with this golden nugget you probably want to check out:

Forrest Gump.

Hear me out… As many already know, the original author deliberately wrote a terrible sequel book in an effort to ensure that a sequel would never be made. And I respect that kind of integrity to the point where I intend on buying the book just to support his decision. And if, against all odds, they actually made that book into a movie, I’d probably watch it so he could get some royalties from that too.

It could be fun to watch a sequel of her getting PTSD’d by yet another mode of transportation after getting railed by some lower class riffraff.

She became queen of somewhere far far away, actually. I don’t remember the details; it was a long long time ago.

Fuckit, if anything more fancy than HTML + CGI is needed, there’s always VRML.

…holy shit, it just dawned on me… VRML + CGI? Today’s PCs should have no issue rendering it, and server-side should be the same as any other CGI page. I gotta do some experimenting with this.

UPDATE: I actually did some research into this, and the possibilities are actually quite extensive. In theory it should be possible to make an extremely basic multiplayer FPS game.
