I wear them at work because normally you are only allowed to wear one ear bud to keep awareness but I am deaf in one ear. The clean room suits actually help improve the sound (I think they vibrate a little). I also use them at my desk so people can't sneak up on me.

At home I use them for phone calls because I don't sound weird to me unlike regular headphones.

Only if rail can figure out their shit and hire enough workers and give them all time off. Too many train derailments from precision scheduled railroading.

They really pissed me off with their Terry Prachet bundle a few months ago. Only in the small text did it state the books had kobo DRM. I've been buying bundles for a decade and never had to worry about DRM before so I didn't even think to look for it.

Some living things will make it through the extinction event and the next sentient species will fuck it all up again in a billion years or so.

This was so confusing. We are doing RTO at work but it means rotating time off not return to office. In general people are pretty happy here to get some extra vacation even if it's unpaid (we can claim unemployment so it's not that big of a hit).

I'm much happier that 99% of the time I'm physically working on machines and not in face to face or zoom meetings but that's just been my experience.

Well he's also a huge asshole and that's from many first hand accounts.

Oh see I like to feel the rush of adrenaline from living dangerously and only save once completed.

IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted...

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

"Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

what happened to pitchfork?

hardcoreufo ,

Ahh got it. I don't use it as regularly as I did 10-20 years ago but I'd still miss it being around.

hardcoreufo ,

Not with enough server space.

hardcoreufo ,

Some people live in areas with poor service even with beefy antennas.

What if I keep a jade egg in my ass just for fun?

hardcoreufo ,

Users are calling it a shockingly good invention.

This is a red flag. It means he listens exclusively to Nickelback and Creed.
