That saying actually predates railroad trains, which were called that because a train meant “that which is drawn along”

I take supplements in the evening and it got so boring taking out the pills from top to bottom, left to right. So now I’m doing various patterns, usually symmetric.

Thanks, now I feel not quite so absurd.

An abstract painter whose thing was overlaid rectangles in prime colors.

Scheiss Ohrwurm, ja?

My issue wasn’t SMB, but automounting the share. As in, turn on wireless, the share is available. I’m coming from Linux and am pretty clueless with MacOS.

Translating text. I recently had to translate a bunch of architectural requirements into english. I honestly don’t know if deepl.com uses GenAI or what. But the job was pretty much copy and paste. Occasionally I had to change a word because the connotation was a bit off, and a few times it got confused with tangled, run-in input and I had to rephrase whole sentences. I’m a native speaker in both languages and I estimate it would have taken me at least three times as long.

My SO has a MacBook, and I thought no sweat, I’m sure I can just autofs or something onto the NAS so that the photo storage is always there. I was wrong. Why dies it have to be such a pain? So clunky, so unreliable.

My girlfriend and I visited family in Florida and did a road trip down to Key West. I got the first album from Gorillaz and it was pretty much the only thing we listened to the whole time down US1.

Godamnit! At that time, we were visiting family stateside. It was like the window let in a chill, like a rug pulled out from under you, it was tangible that something in the very fabric of the USA had changed.

I remember telling my grandpa, who fled soviet Bulgaria in WWII, that if this goes on, they can make anyone their enemy. 9/11 turned the hate siphon on full blast, and I was certain they would turn on their own.

So happy he didn’t live to see what the Republicans became.

I didn’t ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

Just this morning I had to convince my SO for the Nth time that our shoe carton of expired Corona tests aren’t “just fine”.

And the text rendering (at least for me with flatpaks) is completely fuzzy garbage.
