Done.

I’ve stopped doing that and just put my own laptop on the desk besides the work laptop the second they implemented a new privacy agreement that forbade personal data on work devices. So far no one has said anything.

After a few years of homeownership you usually have everything for stuff around the house in the tool room.

I’m just noticing that having a tool room sounds unusual, seeing it written down.

Well, it IS a not very reasonable take that seems to be grounded in a certain unwillingness to deal with new and unknown yet things. How do I solve address overlap in RFC1918 and various VPNs reliably without IPv6? This starts to become a problem when I think about my self hosted music server accessed through a wireguard tunnel and I’m at a friend’s house. Not too outlandish problem for the crowd around here, I’d guess.

That’s because the average IT auditor is a bunch of if then statements wrapped in human skin.

Yep. I archive channels I like locally.

Yes. You explain it as if what I have described were an intellectual problem. It is not, so the support you tried is not helpful in my case. But this is public, so, maybe for someone else.

I can’t cook. That doesn’t mean that I am not able to when given time and resources and a receipe, that means that the amount of things I can fight through in a day is limited and I need to use that budget wisely, earning money, caring for my dog and seeing to it that my house and garden don’t fall apart.

That means, I can’t cook, even when it looks like I’m just sitting there, staring into the blue. “You just have to…”, no, you just have to, and the what you have to is “shut up” and “stop using yourself as a reference for everything”.

I didn’t think there was a confusion about that until now. Actually I still don’t think so. Explain.

My motto while I was living in an urban area. I found that I could ride my bike right up to in front of my office window after cutting a little brush on the building corner and from that day on I’d do that, knock on the window and climb right into my office chair from my bike saddle if a coworker was already there. Most satisfying parking situation in my professional life so far.

The Seamstresses’ Guild of Ankh Morpork does not look favorably upon your judgement of their recent endeavors into digitalization and working from home.

Then they set their desk on fire and go on strike for the rest of the day.

Ah, that explains why I was cast into this existence last week after chilling in the void for eons, which I was actually pretty fine with, but here we are now, toast crumbs, income tax and all that. Thanks I guess.

I was lazily scrolling through my Jellyfin library and thought “heh, Director’s Cut. Everything that guy does in the kitchen is a Director’s Cut.” So, while that’s certainly not a new thought, it was new to me.

I tried it but the repetition of the word ruined it when I had it written out. I think it’s because it takes away the little “huh, oh, right” moment from the reader.

Oh Jeez. But, here is some gluten free cake I made just to cater to your specific headspace and to prevent too much overthinking which has been known to cause cancer in individuals in the state of California:

I wonder how many individuals across all genders, ages, cultural backgrounds, and career stages who happen to occupy positions of creative oversight, organizational leadership, artistic guidance, funeral arrangement management, photographic composition supervision, musical ensemble coordination, or administrative stewardship refer to it as a “director’s cut” when ethically portioning the plant-based or traditionally-sourced protein centerpiece at their chosen family’s consensual gathering that may or may not coincide with various cultural harvest celebrations, regardless of whether they personally identify with the role of food distribution facilitator.

Personally I think, the corn flour doesn’t work too well with the butter crumbs.

I don’t see anyone furiously angry.

Ugh, this is so tiring, but we are going to fight this one out. Fine then, substitute it by “bikeshedding”. It’s not the exact right meaning, I know, but it’s just the same energy as someone bringing a cake and that one person just NEEDS to point out that they can’t eat it because of gluten, and how dangerous gluten is and how ignorant it is to bake stuff using gluten and the bees for the honey, WHAT, THERE IS NO HONEY, THERE IS INDUSTRIAL SUGAR IN IT?

It’s all things we can talk about and maybe they are even valid and sorry, yes, next time I can use corn flour and see if that works, but I can’t lose the feeling that’s not what the purpose of that piping up was.

Yes, but you go ahead and construct a description of that scene where the word “director” and “cut” do not show up twice. The chuckle the reader hopefully has comes from completing the reverse construction they have to do. We can enhance their success rate by starting that reverse construction from a known common base, such as a well known cultural reference.

He hates when I tell dad jokes, but he loves telling them.

Such is the inherent duality of the dad-joke.

Check out Mom’s Dad Jokes on Instagram to see what I mean.

Seems to require an account, but anyway, I get the idea. Well, whatever works in your headspace is good, I guess, right?

Yes. I specifically engineered it to be easily digestable while eliciting at least 2 GPT (groans per teenager) if delivered over an average dinner table.
