This is one of the things I love about my Thinkpad. It has a little sliding cover for the camera.

I prefer metric, it just makes more sense. Also having to add fractions in order to measure something is maddening. 10 1/4" + 4 17/32" vs. 260mm + 115mm

False dichotomy. Both of these things suck.

Nice. Too bad Slashdot doesn’t show the date an account was created. I would like to what year I made mine, Around 30,000 so I know it’s pretty early, but would that be '98, '99,or '00?Don’t know. My Fark profile was created 2002.

What about my 5 digit Slashdot uid number? Does anyone remember Slashdot?

I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

That’s exactly how I like it. Terminal, white text on black background. Browser, etc in light mode.

thanks for the tip, I’ll check out krohnkite

Been a KDE user for many years. I recently started using Niri with DankMaterialShell, and it’s pretty awesome. I suspect at some point I’ll drift back to my beloved KDE. But I’m loving the new shiny thing at the moment.

All my airport signs run Arch, BTW.

Right, the thing that caught my eye was running a full desktop OS for a sign board.

Kid Rock is country? I thought he was shitty rap rock. Or is any MAGA artist now deemed “country”?

The food culture of Mexico is amazing, and if you’re eating at the right places there is usually no option but to speak Spanish! I’ve had to request “más picante” before, though generally that is at restaurants used to serving gringos. At tianguis or taco guys on the street there’s usually no problem getting the spice.

One of my proudest moments as a white dude who likes spicy stuff was when a buddy and I were hanging out with some local guys while on a trip to Mexico. I was just chowing down on some super hot salsa and one of the Mexican guys gets real excited and starts calling me “the blond Mexican”. I’m sure my wife is tired of that story, but I will continue to tell it to her for the rest of my days.

Lake disappointment (contains no water)

Well, that would be very disappointing if your lake had no water. So I think they nailed that one.

Cringe was the point of the Bloodhound Gang.

yeah, sweet potato pie is definitely not savory.
