Public speaking. I just can’t get my head around the fact that a crowd is composed of real, individual people. It just looks like an impersonal, lifeless blob to me, so I have no trouble performing in front of it.

Thick iron pan, no grease, cover with pot, wait until popping stops. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Sometimes, I use a giant wok and salt fry them.

All that sugar is bound up in fiber, making it slower to release and keeping it from spiking your blood sugar into pre-diabeetus. Grind that same fruit down (juice), destroy its fibers, and now you got diabetes in a can.

I see that to dress like a scary exec, I must first earn like a scary exec…

Pretty sure the greeks knew about the hindu number system, they were neighbours for centuries. They just thought zero was of the devil and geometry was better that algebra and never adopted it.

Please explain the scary executive getup. I am taking notes for my own impending midlife crisis.

It is also to be noted that I bought minecraft only after I was sure that I would enjoy it. That’s why I played the cracked version for 3 years before my purchase.

It is to be noted that that $30 does not account for the amount of powder used to lubricate the board or the replacement discs. Just as I did not include the cost of upgrading my PC to run minecraft 1.18, the dogshit optimization update.

Somewhere in that neighbourhood, yes. That’s how much I’m willing to pay. My old carrom board lasted me two decades, and it was $30 (with discs). That’s the yardstick I measure games by.

Last game I ever bought was minecraft, back in 2012(?) for $15. Played it non-stop for a decade before the community imploded. Got my money’s worth. Haven’t bought a game since. No point unless they have a similarly active multiplayer community. It’s a pirate’s life for me.

I had gorgeous golden locks as a kid. The moment I had to wash and comb it on my own, I got it all chopped. Sometime later, I started wondering how I’d look with longer hair. Grew it out. Not bad, but not worth the effort either. Chopped it all off again. I’m a guy btw.

Rustic scares me. I will 100% forget what tool I used to backup after 5 years and be unable to recover my files.

Developers are dumb and/or burned out by leadership and can’t be arsed to use the right tool for the right job. New blog? React.j. Ecommerce? React.js. Wiki? React.js. A fucking landing page reading “Coming Soon!”? Believe it or not, React.js. And unless provided by whatever metaframework they’re using this week, forget about appropriately-sized images and videos. You will render a 2000x3000 pixel PNG of the letter A on your 720p smartphone, and you will like it.

Been sailing the seven seas for forever, never suffered a drop in quality, availability, or quantity. Never gonna give it up.
