  • I’ve got family that is on their third pet raccoon. I’m not sure where the last two came from but the first was a baby when they got it. They cut down a tree that had a family of raccoons in it and that one survived so they just… Kept it.

    It was very entertaining but could be an asshole when in heat.

    O, and I worked with a lady that had one too. Apparently they can survive a massive opiate overdose because it ate an entire bottle of painkillers (oxys? Hydros? I forget) while she was at work one day. She said it was stiff like rigor mortis for about 36 hours then eventually just got up and continued on like nothing had happened.





  • I cut my teeth on Linux when red hat was trying to make things “user friendly” with control panel like guis but they consistently couldn’t do what I wanted so I had to learn the terminal anyway.

    25+ years later, I’ll use a gui if it works and it’s easy, but I still have trust issues that I don’t have with a config file. You put shit in a config file, it’s going to do what you asked (right or wrong) or sigterm trying… And I appreciates that.

    That said, I do mostly gui config on my daily driver these days. Servers however… No gui, no problem.
