I am not a robot. I promise.
I started running Linux 15 years ago, and switched to Linux as my main daily driver like 10 years ago. And I couldn’t be happier, but I still wish I would have started my Linux journey way sooner, especially since Windows is about as useful as used toilet paper these days…
Good, fuck Subway, and that’s even considering I used to work for them, in security camera maintenance, before this whole AI/enshittification era though…
Thanks homie, but I had to spend my lunch money on tires and rent. At least beer and cigars are still cheaper than a bottle of water here, so… 🤷
I won’t lie, I haven’t really kept up too much with the price of noodles over the past decades, but I loosely recall them going for somewhere around 18 cents a pack back around 10 years ago.
Yeah, even those numbers don’t sound wallet happy, but hey, at least we don’t have to worry about pennies anymore, so of course everything rounds up right?
Fuck. ☹️
Okay, Subway trademarked the footlong, then they cut it in half if you order a 6 inch…
Did they fucking trademark the size of an inch too?
I think we already all smoke gasoline anyways, it’s called exhaust… ☹️
Also, make sure to bring your tape measure, shrinkflation is all too real…
Gasoline price is about the same and the price of noodles hasn’t gone up much. But the price of rent and weed has skyrocketed, so…
🤷
I’m saving your comment, as you have succinctly explained it better than I ever could. 👍
Yes! The bottom left, I got 2 pairs of those from eBay for $7.16 USD.
They’re not suitable for everyday wear, but if you lose your nearsighted glasses, it’s better than nothing. So, a glovebox item…
They’re called pinhole glasses.
Nah, I just don’t want others around me. It’s a wonder I ever had a cameraman a few times…
Damn homie, you’re even more nearsighted than I am. I start losing focus about 18cm from my eyeball, but can see stuff up close almost like a microscope!
Here’s my collection of corrective lenses…

I find the bifocals in the top right best for me.
You lost the game… 👌
My natural vision is like 20/500, very nearsighted.
I’m pretty good with BMX flatland bicycle balance tricks, so good in fact that I can do a number of them blindfolded, as it allows me to focus not on my vision but on my balance. So that to me is mostly natural, and doesn’t even require much visual input on open flatland.
But to play a 2 player game, where my vision requires a moment to adapt my vision and focus from near to far and back, plus not get confused by the shear lines from my glasses as I turn my head, then it’s not so easy to get that natural sense you speak of.
Sigh, bad vision sucks, even with glasses…
LOL!
Put it this way, I refuse to ever again work for any company that insists on gambling games to assign job duties.
At least that first company adjusted their tactics for assigning duties and eliminated the gambling factor.
Wait wait, you wear underpants?
Well this is a real game changer!..
Yeah, every single time I have encountered someone that insisted me to play the game, they can’t and won’t hold their hand sign long enough for my eyes to even focus on.
They could just as soon use that nearsighted eye refocus time to change their hand sign and always win.
20/500 eyesight sucks, glasses or not…
I’m loosely familiar with that game too, but damn that would just make hand signs effectively impossible for me…
Ultimately, because both me and another skilled tech felt uncomfortable in the same fast-paced way they’d play that game, they ended up shifting away from RPS towards something like a round-robin 2 week schedule for miscellaneous job duties.
Hey, in such a small shop, I get it, it seemed like a fun seemingly simple way to assign job duties across ~8 to 10 employees, but me and one of the other experienced techs just couldn’t process the game at the speed the managers demanded.
So we ever so politely requested they change the method they used to assign the dirty job duties. We ultimately figured out how to balance the workload more towards which employee was better at what, like I’m better with heavy loads such as trash, another employee better at cleaning the toilet, and new employees got the vacuum duty.
Awesome, and welcome to the Penguin Club! 🐧
